Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
223 words
A bow-sight comprising an elongate base plate formed throughout its longitudinal extent to seat flush to the outermost surface of a bow, a plate-like segment integral with one edge of said base plate and bent to project generally perpendicular to said base plate and outwardly from the bow as said base plate seats thereto, an arm unit pivotally connected to said plate-like segment having portions at one end thereof diSposed on opposite sides of said plate-like segment to bear thereon in a pivoting movement of said arm unit, a portion of said arm unit adjacent its opposite end having means defining a sighting element in connection therewith and mounted for adjustment in a transverse sense referenced to the orientation of said arm unit, means in connection with said arm unit at a location between the connections of said arm unit to said sighting element and said plate segment to clamp to said plate segment the said portions of said arm unit disposed on opposite sides of said plate segment, said one end of said arm unit having means thereon defining a reference pointer and said plate segment having means related to said pointer to cooperate therewith to assist in establishing the distance an arrow or other projectile will travel in use of the sight in conjunction with the bow to which it mounts.

A bow-sight comprising an elongate base plate formed throughout its longitudinal extent to seat flush to the outermost surface of a bow, a plate-like segment integral with one edge of said base plate and bent to project generally perpendicular to said base plate and outwardly from the bow as said base plate seats thereto, an arm unit pivotally connected to said plate-like segment having portions at one end thereof diSposed on opposite sides of said plate-like segment to bear thereon in a pivoting movement of said arm unit, a portion of said arm unit adjacent its opposite end having means defining a sighting element in connection therewith and mounted for adjustment in a transverse sense referenced to the orientation of said arm unit, means in connection with said arm unit at a location between the connections of said arm unit to said sighting element and said plate segment to clamp to said plate segment the said portions of said arm unit disposed on opposite sides of said plate segment, said one end of said arm unit having means thereon defining a reference pointer and said plate segment having means related to said pointer to cooperate therewith to assist in establishing the distance an arrow or other projectile will travel in use of the sight in conjunction with the bow to which it mounts.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
223 words
A bow-sight comprising an elongate base plate formed throughout its longitudinal extent to seat flush to the outermost surface of a bow, a plate-like segment integral with one edge of said base plate and bent to project generally perpendicular to said base plate and outwardly from the bow as said base plate seats thereto, an arm unit pivotally connected to said plate-like segment having portions at one end thereof diSposed on opposite sides of said plate-like segment to bear thereon in a pivoting movement of said arm unit, a portion of said arm unit adjacent its opposite end having means defining a sighting element in connection therewith and mounted for adjustment in a transverse sense referenced to the orientation of said arm unit, means in connection with said arm unit at a location between the connections of said arm unit to said sighting element and said plate segment to clamp to said plate segment the said portions of said arm unit disposed on opposite sides of said plate segment, said one end of said arm unit having means thereon defining a reference pointer and said plate segment having means related to said pointer to cooperate therewith to assist in establishing the distance an arrow or other projectile will travel in use of the sight in conjunction with the bow to which it mounts.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
223 words
A bow-sight comprising an elongate base plate formed throughout its longitudinal extent to seat flush to the outermost surface of a bow, a plate-like segment integral with one edge of said base plate and bent to project generally perpendicular to said base plate and outwardly from the bow as said base plate seats thereto, an arm unit pivotally connected to said plate-like segment having portions at one end thereof diSposed on opposite sides of said plate-like segment to bear thereon in a pivoting movement of said arm unit, a portion of said arm unit adjacent its opposite end having means defining a sighting element in connection therewith and mounted for adjustment in a transverse sense referenced to the orientation of said arm unit, means in connection with said arm unit at a location between the connections of said arm unit to said sighting element and said plate segment to clamp to said plate segment the said portions of said arm unit disposed on opposite sides of said plate segment, said one end of said arm unit having means thereon defining a reference pointer and said plate segment having means related to said pointer to cooperate therewith to assist in establishing the distance an arrow or other projectile will travel in use of the sight in conjunction with the bow to which it mounts.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
162 words
A sighting device as in claim 1 characterized by said arm unit comprising a pair of elongate plate segments, the ends of said plate segments forming the end of said arm unit remote from its pivot connection to said plate-like segment being clamped together and have threaded therethrough a screw means, one end of said screw means having a ball form providing a sighting point and being necked immediately preceding the ball form, and the inner ends of said elongate plate segments remote from their clamped ends being relatively spaced to be positioned on either side of said platelike segment integral with said base plate and there being means for establishing a frictional lock of the said inner ends of said plate segments in such spaced relation for maintaining said arm unit in any selected position of adjustment referenced to said base plate to establish the required relation between said pointer and the means related to said pointer on said platelike segment.
