Abstract
A cantilevered member mounted at a first end to the base and extending cantilevered from the base to an opposite second end, opposite to the first end, and a cross-member mounted to the second end of the cantilevered member, the cross-member having opposite first and second ends. The cantilevered member may be releasably pivotally mounted to the base so as to be selectively angularly positionable relative to the base. A rigid first arm is pivotally and slidably mounted to the first end of the cross member. A rigid second arm is pivotally and slidably mounted to the second end of the cross-member. The first and second arms are parallel to the cross-member and mounted for sliding and pivoting in a plane parallel to a plane containing the cross-member.
Claims15
A bow caddy comprising:
- a base,
- a cantilevered member mounted at a first end to said base and extending cantilevered from said base to an opposite second end, opposite to said first end,
- a cross-member mounted to said second end of said cantilevered member, said cross-member having opposite first and second ends,
- a rigid first arm pivotally and slidably mounted to said first end of said cross member, and a rigid second arm pivotally and slidably mounted to said second end of said cross-member, said first and second arms parallel to said cross-member and mounted for sliding and pivoting in a plane parallel to a plane containing said cross-member,
- locking means for releasably locking said first and second arms in desired angular and longitudinal displacement relative to said cross-member,
- frictional clamps rigidly mounted at distal ends of said first and second arms for frictionally engaging oppositely disposed limbs of a bow to be mounted in said caddy upon adjustment of relative positioning between said clamps and said first and second arms so as to accommodate said limbs in said clamps without substantial distortion of said bow.
