20130174822 | Warming quick release - The apparatus disclosed is a middle component, meaning that it requires a beginning apparatus such as a bowstring release and an ending apparatus such as a bowstring release wrist strap. A heat dissipating strip is included within the inner body and radiates heat to the metallic impregnated rubberize outer sheath where it is absorbed by an archer to keep hands and digits warm thus increasing the likelihood that when the time comes to fire an arrow at a target, said archer can feel his hands and digits. The apparatus is basically a transducer converting such as but not limited to, chemical energy into electric energy then converting electric energy into heat energy; however, said apparatus does not need to generate heat to be a middle component of the aforementioned and can be wholly used without a beginning component or an end component. | 07-11-2013 |
