Arrow quiver

Abstract

An arrow quiver particularly suited for use by hunters and worn on the back comprises an open, elongated frame with an abutment at its upper end against which the arrow heads are pressed. The arrows are aligned and spaced from one another by a pair of bridges, the lowermost one of which has a number of spaced slots across it, each slot accomodating the shaft of an arrow. The slots are tapered so that they are narrower on the side facing the upper portion of the quiver and are made of resilient material which overlaps the shaft of an arrow pressed into the slot. The shape of the slots facilitates loading of the arrows into the quiver and sliding them upwardly to permit the heads to rest against the abutment. The taper of the slots, however, impedes movement of arrows through the slots downwardly away from the abutment to hold them firmly in place until removal is desired by pivoting the arrows outwardly out of the slots.
