US12329270 - Combination backpack and quiver
The patent describes a combination backpack and quiver that integrates a quiver into a backpack design, featuring a planar insert with mounting receptacles for quiver rods. This innovative setup allows for the secure storage of arrows, with the quiver mounted in a way that keeps the arrow heads accessible while the fletching remains inside the backpack.
Claim 1
- A combination backpack and quiver apparatus, comprising: a backpack including a relatively thinner outer pocket and a relatively thicker interior space, the outer pocket having an open pocket end; a planar insert received in the outer pocket through the open pocket end, the planar insert having a first insert end and a second insert end and an insert length from the first insert end to the second insert end, the insert including two lateral edges extending from the first insert end to the second insert end, the insert having an insert width between the two lateral edges, the insert including a plurality of elongated quiver mounting receptacles defined in the insert and extending parallel to the insert length, the quiver mounting receptacles being open at the first insert end and the quiver mounting receptacles being spaced across the insert width; a quiver including a hood, first and second elongated quiver rails extending from the hood, and at least one resilient arrow holder mounted on the rails and including a plurality of laterally open arrow receiving recesses defined in the resilient arrow holder; and first and second quiver mounting rods received in first and second ones of the quiver mounting receptacles and extending out of the open pocket end, the quiver being mounted on the quiver mounting rods such that the hood is spaced from the back pack and the quiver rails extend toward the back pack, such that an arrow may have an arrow head received in the hood and an arrow shaft laterally received in one of the laterally open arrow receiving recesses with an arrow fletching end of the arrow received in the interior space of the backpack. a backpack including a relatively thinner outer pocket and a relatively thicker interior space, the outer pocket having an open pocket end; a planar insert received in the outer pocket through the open pocket end, the planar insert having a first insert end and a second insert end and an insert length from the first insert end to the second insert end, the insert including two lateral edges extending from the first insert end to the second insert end, the insert having an insert width between the two lateral edges, the insert including a plurality of elongated quiver mounting receptacles defined in the insert and extending parallel to the insert length, the quiver mounting receptacles being open at the first insert end and the quiver mounting receptacles being spaced across the insert width; a quiver including a hood, first and second elongated quiver rails extending from the hood, and at least one resilient arrow holder mounted on the rails and including a plurality of laterally open arrow receiving recesses defined in the resilient arrow holder; and first and second quiver mounting rods received in first and second ones of the quiver mounting receptacles and extending out of the open pocket end, the quiver being mounted on the quiver mounting rods such that the hood is spaced from the back pack and the quiver rails extend toward the back pack, such that an arrow may have an arrow head received in the hood and an arrow shaft laterally received in one of the laterally open arrow receiving recesses with an arrow fletching end of the arrow received in the interior space of the backpack.
