| 20100170489 | Crossbow Stock Having Lower Floating Rail - A crossbow has a riser, flexible limbs, a bowstring extending between the tips of the limbs for propelling an arrow, and an elongated frame extending from the riser. A bowstring release proximate the rear end of the elongated frame includes a trigger for releasing the bowstring, and firing an arrow. A first grip is disposed proximate to the trigger for being grasped by the user's first hand. A “Picatinny” type support rail extends along and below the elongated frame, secured at its rearmost end to the elongated frame, but otherwise spaced herefrom. The support rail can receive fore-grips, a bi-pod, or can be rested against a support surface to help steady the crossbow during firing. | 07-08-2010 |
| 20100170488 | Compact Winding Mechanism for Crossbow - A crossbow includes an elongated frame coupled to a riser at a first end thereof and attached to an upper housing at its second end generally above the trigger region. The riser supports a pair of flexible limbs, and a bowstring extends between such limbs. A bowstring retractor is provided within the upper housing and includes a rope spool used to wind a retractor rope for retracting the bowstring. First and second spool gears surround the rope spool for rotation therewith. A spur gear mounted on a drive axle engages one of the spool gears, and a crank can be engaged with the drive axle. A pawl engages the other spool gear to prevent unintentional unwinding of the retractor rope from the rope spool. A pawl release member disengages the pawl from its associated spool gear. Drawing the bowstring beyond its full draw position also disengages the pawl. | 07-08-2010 |
| 20100170487 | Release Assembly for Crossbow - A crossbow includes an elongated frame coupled to a riser at a first end thereof. The riser supports a pair of flexible limbs, and a bowstring extends between such limbs. A movable bowstring release is used both to retract the bowstring into a drawn position, and to release the bowstring under the operation of a trigger assembly. The bowstring release is initially positioned near the bowstring at rest, and a bowstring hook is engaged therewith. A bowstring retractor includes a retractor rope secured to the bowstring release for retracting the bowstring. An upper housing is secured to the second end of the elongated frame, and supports a rope spool used to wind the retractor rope. The bowstring release is retracted into the upper housing proximate a trigger assembly for selectively releasing the bowstring when a user pulls a trigger. | 07-08-2010 |
| 20100170486 | Crossbow Accessory for Lower Receiver of Rifle and Related Method - A crossbow accessory for coupling to a modular lower receiver of a rifle includes an elongated frame coupled to a riser at a first end, and coupled above the lower receiver at its second end. An upper housing secured to the second end of the frame includes a rope spool and winding gears for retracting the bowstring toward a drawn position. A rope extends from the rope spool to a bowstring release for retracting the bowstring. The bowstring release is retracted into the upper housing proximate the modular lower receiver for selectively releasing the bowstring when a user pulls the trigger of the lower receiver. A method for creating a crossbow using the modular lower receiver is also disclosed. | 07-08-2010 |
