ABSTRACT:
A holding and release mechanism for a flexible line or a rigid rod, particularly a bow string release mechanism for use in drawing a bow string back and releasing the same to propel an arrow to the target. The mechanism comprises dual yoke arms slotted to receive a flexible line or rigid rod to which are attached a swinging lever holding member having dual rod-like extensions extending perpendicular thereto. The line or rod is held by the rod-like extensions between the dual slotted yoke arms. The swinging lever is pivotally attached to the slotted yoke arms and is held by a retaining rod at the rearward extension thereof at a detent position. The retaining rod is urged out of the detent position by a trigger which moves the retaining rod rearwardly. The retaining rod is held in the detent position by a coiled spring under tension positioned on the circumference of the retaining rod. The trigger engages said rod and, upon actuation, moves said rod rearwardly out of the detent position thus releasing the swinging, lever holding member.
