Abstract

Abstract A generally inverted U-shaped member is provided and includes a pair of side-by-side legs interconnected at one pair of corresponding ends by an integral bight portion. The member is constructed of stiff, but resilient material whereby the free end portions of the legs may be spread, at least slightly, apart and therafter allowed to return to their original predetermined spaced relationship. One of the legs includes structure for attachment of that leg to a selected side of the mid-portion of a bow with the other leg spaced outwardly from that side of the bow. The free end portion of the other leg includes an outwardly projecting arrow rest element extending away from the leg attached to the bow and adjustable spacing structure is interconnected between the legs of the U-shaped member for adjustably increasing the spacing between the free end portions of the legs in excess of the predetermined spaced relationship thereof.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim 186 words
In combination with a bow having a hand grip defining mid-portion, an arrow rest structure including an inverted generally U-shaped member including first and second side-by-side legs including upper and lower base and free end portions, respectively, and interconnected at their base ends by means of an integral bight portion extending therebetween, said U-shaped member being constructed of stiff, but resilient material whereby the free end portions of said legs may be spread, at least slightly, apart and thereafter allowed to return to their original spaced relationship, attaching means attaching said first leg to the mid-portion of said bow with said first leg extending along said mid-portion and with said second leg spaced outwardly of one side of said mid-portion, the free end portion of said second leg including a laterally outwardly projecting arrow rest element extending in a direction away from said first leg, and adjustable spacing means carried by one of said legs intermediate the base and free ends thereof and engaged with the other leg for adjustably increasing the spacing between said free end portions in excess of the original spaced relationship thereof.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 186 words
In combination with a bow having a hand grip defining mid-portion, an arrow rest structure including an inverted generally U-shaped member including first and second side-by-side legs including upper and lower base and free end portions, respectively, and interconnected at their base ends by means of an integral bight portion extending therebetween, said U-shaped member being constructed of stiff, but resilient material whereby the free end portions of said legs may be spread, at least slightly, apart and thereafter allowed to return to their original spaced relationship, attaching means attaching said first leg to the mid-portion of said bow with said first leg extending along said mid-portion and with said second leg spaced outwardly of one side of said mid-portion, the free end portion of said second leg including a laterally outwardly projecting arrow rest element extending in a direction away from said first leg, and adjustable spacing means carried by one of said legs intermediate the base and free ends thereof and engaged with the other leg for adjustably increasing the spacing between said free end portions in excess of the original spaced relationship thereof.
