Abstract
Abstract The shaft of an arrow is supported in the sight window of an archery bow by an arrow rest comprising a flexible finger which shifts laterally as it is engaged by the feathers of the arrow after release. The finger is attached to a bendable spacer tab and is movable therewith to a position desired by the archer where the shaft of the arrow is aligned with the path of the bowstring. The tab is formed of sufficiently heavy plate stock to be rigid and remain in the desired position under lateral force that may be applied thereto as the arrow is shot.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
211 words
A device for supporting the shaft of an arrow comprising: a support plate having a portion thereof adapted to be affixed to an arrow side of a bow and a spacing means for positioning an arrow on a bow, said spacing means forming a part of said plate and adapted to extend into a sight window; and a flexible arrow rest finger attached to and carried by said spacing means presenting an extension projecting therefrom, and having a normal disposition for receiving an arrow shaft with the latter resting thereon while in engagement with said spacing means, said spacing means being yieldable and movable by bending to any of a number of positions for permitting proper spacing of an arrow from a side of a sight window, but said spacing means being composed of sufficiently heavy plate material to be substantially rigid to resist deflection so as to remain in a selected position under a lateral force applied thereto when engaged by an arrow being launched, said arrow rest finger being movable in unison with said spacing means to the selected position, and said finger flexing laterally relative to the spacing means upon engagement by feathers of an arrow as the latter is launched and thereafter returning to said normal disposition.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
211 words
A device for supporting the shaft of an arrow comprising: a support plate having a portion thereof adapted to be affixed to an arrow side of a bow and a spacing means for positioning an arrow on a bow, said spacing means forming a part of said plate and adapted to extend into a sight window; and a flexible arrow rest finger attached to and carried by said spacing means presenting an extension projecting therefrom, and having a normal disposition for receiving an arrow shaft with the latter resting thereon while in engagement with said spacing means, said spacing means being yieldable and movable by bending to any of a number of positions for permitting proper spacing of an arrow from a side of a sight window, but said spacing means being composed of sufficiently heavy plate material to be substantially rigid to resist deflection so as to remain in a selected position under a lateral force applied thereto when engaged by an arrow being launched, said arrow rest finger being movable in unison with said spacing means to the selected position, and said finger flexing laterally relative to the spacing means upon engagement by feathers of an arrow as the latter is launched and thereafter returning to said normal disposition.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
48 words
The device as claimed in claim 1, said support plate having a line of bend and said portion and said spacing means being integral with each other and joined at said line, said spacing means yielding at said line as it is moved laterally to the selected position.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
The device as claimed in claim 2, said support plate including a pair of leaves joined at said line and presenting said portion of the plate and said spacing means respectively.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
41 words
The device as claimed in claim 1, said arrow rest finger having opposed, inner and outer ends, said inner end being rigid with said spacing means, and said outer end projecting clear of said spacing means for receiving an arrow shaft.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
103 words
The device as claimed in claim 1, said spacer element presenting a forward edge engageable by said shaft when the latter is on the arrow rest, and having an inner surface facing away from said shaft, said arrow rest comprising a finger having opposed, inner and outer ends and a bend intermediate said ends, said inner end being rigid with said spacer element with the stretch of the finger between said inner end and said bend normally extending alongside said inner surface, said bend being adjacent said forward edge and said outer end projecting clear of said spacer element for receiving said shaft.
