ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a back quiver support system and more particularly pertains to allowing any bow quiver to be worn as a support for arrows.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The use of quivers of known designs and configurations is known in the prior art. More specifically, quiver supports of known designs and configurations heretofore devised and utilized for the purpose of supporting arrows through known methods and apparatuses are known to consist basically of familiar, expected, and obvious structural configurations, notwithstanding the myriad of designs encompassed by the crowded prior art which has been developed for the fulfillment of countless objectives and requirements.
By way of example, U.S. Pat. No. 3,973,776 to Ole discloses an arrow quiver and pack frame. U.S. Pat. No. 4,073,328 to Franklin discloses an arrow quiver. U.S. Design Pat. No. Des. 331,319 to Stinson discloses an arrow quiver. European Application Number 342 109 to Morel discloses a retractable arrow support device. U.S. Pat. No. 5,452,703 to Bateman, III discloses an arrow holder for different sized arrows. Lastly, U.S. Pat. No. 3,366,232 to Elfstrom et al. discloses an arrow holder and spacer pad.
While these devices fulfill their respective, particular objectives and requirements, the aforementioned patents do not describe a quiver for arrow support as disclosed herein. In this respect, the back quiver support according to the present invention substantially departs from the conventional concepts and designs of the prior art, and in doing so provides an apparatus primarily developed for the purpose of allowing any quiver to be supported for suer safety and convenience.
Therefore, it can be appreciated that there exists a continuing need for a new and improved back quiver support which can be used for allowing any bow quiver to be worn for improved wearer safety and convenience. In this regard, the present invention substantially fulfills this need.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of quiver supports of known designs and configurations now present in the prior art, the present invention provides an improved back quiver support. As such, the general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a new and improved back quiver support which has all the advantages of the prior art and none of the disadvantages.
To attain this, the present invention essentially comprises a new and improved back quiver support system which allows any bow quiver to be worn as a back quiver comprising, in combination a belt positioned over the shoulder of a wearer, the belt having two couplable free ends with a buckle at one end and holes at the other end and with a central aperture there through and with a swivel pin extending through the aperture outwardly from a central extent of the belt adjacent to the back of a wearer. Next provided is a support post having an aperture at its upper extent receiving the swivel pin and with a plurality of equally spaced supplemental apertures along the length thereof. Next provided is an interior first connector member having two vertically spaced apertures with nuts and bolts coupling the first connector member to the support post at a predetermined height. Next provided is an exterior second connector member having enlarged lateral projections for removable coupling to the second connector to the first connector, the first and second connectors being removably coupled with respect to each other from the bottom of the first connector for the ready removal of a quiver from the belt. Next provided is a cord extending through one of the apertures of the post for tying over the shoulder of the hunter. Next provided is a locking finger positionable beneath the first connector to hold the second connector within the first connector and with a leaf spring attached to the first connector to hold the second connector beneath the first connector and adapted to allow the movement of the locking finger away from the lower end of the first connector for thereby permitting the movement of the second connector with respect to the first connector. Lastly provided is a quiver having a rectilinear lower extent with an open top for receipt of heads of arrows, an upper horizontal extent with a plurality of keyhole-shaped recesses extending inwardly from the periphery for the receipt of the upper extents of arrows and with an intermediate extent coupled to the second connector.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the invention in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are, of course, additional features of the invention that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
In this respect, before explaining at least one embodiment of the invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and to the arrangements of the components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings. The invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced and carried out in various ways. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein are for the purpose of descriptions and should not be regarded as limiting.
As such, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the conception, upon which this disclosure is based, may readily be utilized as a basis for the designing of other structures, methods and systems for carrying out the several purposes of the present invention. It is important, therefore, that the claims be regarded as including such equivalent constructions insofar as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a new and improved back quiver support which has all of the advantages of the prior art quiver supports of known designs and configurations and none of the disadvantages.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a new and improved back quiver support which may be easily and efficiently manufactured and marketed.
It is further object of the present invention to provide a new and improved back quiver support which is of durable and reliable constructions.
An even further object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved back quiver support which is susceptible of a low cost of manufacture with regard to both materials and labor, and which accordingly is then susceptible of low prices of sale to the consuming public, thereby making such back quiver economically available to the buying public.
Even still another object of the present invention is to provide a back quiver support for allowing any bow quiver to be worn as an arrow holder.
Lastly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a system for supporting a quiver comprising a belt positioned over a wearer's shoulder, the belt having two couplable free ends and a central aperture there through and with a swivel pin extending through the aperture radially outwardly from a central extent of the belt adjacent to the back of a wearer; a support post having an aperture at its upper extent receiving the swivel pin and with a plurality of supplemental apertures along the length thereof; and coupling means on the support post for removably supporting a quiver.
These together with other objects of the invention, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the invention, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure. For a better understanding of the invention, its operating advantages and the specific objects attained by its uses, reference should be had to the accompanying drawings and descriptive matter in which there is illu
