20080236556 | Fall-away arrow rest - Fall away arrow rests for archery bows. The rests have an arm with an arrow-supporting feature and an arm-associated axle which pivots the arm to displace the arrow-supporting feature between a first, arrow-loading position and a second, more elevated, arrow-launching position. The arrow support arm can be adjusted vertically, laterally, and in fore-and-aft directions relative to a riser or other rigid bow component on which the rest is mounted. Radial arms rotatable with the axle and connectable to a buss cable or cable slide by a flexible link rotate the arm to elevate the arrow-supporting feature to its arrow-launching when the bow is drawn and offer further adjustment of the arrow rest operation. A coil spring installed in an axle housing returns the arrow-supporting feature to its first, loading position concomitantly with arrow launch, moving the support out of the path the arrow travels as it leaves the bow. Axle-associated stops automatically stop the arm-associated axle as the arrow-supporting feature respectively reaches its arrow-launching and arrow-loading positions. One or more dampers can be advantageously attached to arrow rest structural members to reduce shock and vibrations, including noise, as the arrow support arm displaces the arrow-supporting feature between its first and second positions, especially as an arrow is launched from the bow. Noise reduction can be furthered by a installing a Teflon or comparable component on the arrow-supporting feature of the arm and/or by installing an elastomeric pad on the rigid bow component in the path followed by the arrow-supporting feature as that feature approaches its arrow-loading position. | 10-02-2008 |
