Abstract
A quickly detachable, modular arrow quiver adapted for mounting to a bow, hip belt, tree stand, or other suitable structure. The quiver typically includes a hood to shield broadheads, and an arrow holder spaced from the hood by a rail. A preferred resilient mount is self-biased to interface along an axis of the rail and hold the quiver in a tool-free, height adjustable position relative to structure on which the mount is installed. The resilient mount and suspended quiver mass act in concert as a vibration dampening system when installed on a bow. The modular quiver may be adjusted for length or appearance by use of different interchangeable rail, arrow holder, or hood components.
Claims28
An apparatus to hold a quiver in a position relative to a second object while providing a range of adjustment in said position along an axis of said quiver, said apparatus comprising:
- a mount adapted for attachment to said second object, said mount comprising gripping structure having a memory and arranged to form a tool-free coupling, with cooperating gripped structure of said first object, operable to generate a resisting force sufficient to hold said quiver in said position and to resist inadvertent movement along said axis;
- and
- an actuator portion of said mount being adapted for human fingers to displace said gripping structure whereby to facilitate said coupling and decoupling.
A modular archery quiver, comprising:
- a plurality of interchangeable hoods providing different surface adornments and in which to receive arrow heads;
- a rail adapted for nondestructive connection, removal, and reconnection at a first end to a first one of said interchangeable hoods;
- and
- a first arrow holder spaced apart from said first one hood by said rail, said first arrow holder comprising slots adapted in which removably to receive arrow shafts.
An archery quiver and quiver mount, comprising:
- a rail connected at a first end to a first hood in which to receive arrow heads;
- a first arrow holder carried by said rail and spaced apart from said first hood;
- and
- a mount configured for attachment to a structure from which said quiver is to be suspended, said mount being adapted for self-biased variable engagement along an axis of said rail.
