Abstract
An arrow rest having an arrow support arm with a riser portion and a support portion. The riser portion is rotatably mounted with respect to a housing. A return spring is mounted with respect to the arrow support arm so as to urge the support portion of the arrow support arm into a rest position. The support portion has limited movement in a forward direction from a rest position to a deflected position. The support portion is allowed to deflect in a backward direction, beyond the rest position. After backward deflection, the support portion can be reset to the original rest position.
Claims13
An arrow rest comprising:
- a housing, an arrow support arm having a riser portion and a support portion, said riser portion rotatably mounted with respect to said housing;
- a return spring mounted with respect to said arrow support arm to urge said support portion into a rest position;
- stop means for limiting normal movement of said support portion in a forward direction from said rest position to a deflected position, said stop means comprising a leaf spring separate from said return spring and secured with respect to said housing;
- and
- release means for allowing said support portion to deflect in a backward direction beyond said rest position of said normal movement and for allowing said support portion to be reset to said rest position.
An arrow rest comprising:
- a housing, an arrow support arm having a riser portion and a support portion, said riser portion rotatably mounted with respect to said housing and said support arm having a free end portion bent at an angle with respect to said riser portion;
- a return spring mounted with respect to said arrow support arm to urge said support portion into a rest position;
- stop means separate from said return spring for limiting normal movement of said support portion in a forward direction from said rest position to a deflected position, said free end portion of said support arm contacting stop means;
- and
- release means for allowing said support portion to deflect in a backward direction beyond said rest position of said normal movement and for allowing said support portion to be reset to said rest position.

- a return spring mounted with respect to said arrow support arm to urge said support portion into a rest position;
- stop means for limiting normal movement of said support portion in a forward direction from said rest position to a deflected position, said stop means comprising a leaf spring separate from said return spring, said housing forming a groove, and said leaf spring mounted within said groove;
- and
- release means for allowing said support portion to deflect in a backward direction beyond said rest position of said normal movement and for allowing said support portion to be reset to said rest position.
