US12339092 - Arrow rest with decoupled launch assembly

An arrow rest with a decoupled launch assembly comprises a rest rotatably mounted to a shaft and coupled to the shaft via a biasing device. An actuator connects the shaft to a portion of a bow allowing movement of the bow to actuate the decoupled launch assembly between a raised state and dropped state by rotation of the shaft. The biasing device flexibly couples movement of the rest and shaft permitting the shaft to further rotate after a dropped state has been achieved.

The patent describes an arrow rest designed for bows that features a decoupled launch assembly, allowing the rest to transition between raised and dropped states through a rotatable shaft and an actuator. A biasing device flexibly connects the rest to the shaft, enabling continued rotation after the dropped state is achieved, enhancing the arrow’s launch dynamics.

Claim 1

An arrow rest for a bow comprising: a housing; a shaft mounted to the housing, the shaft being rotatable between a first position and a second position with an intermediary position therebetween; an actuator attached to the shaft for connecting to a portion of the bow; a rest mounted to the shaft, wherein the rest is rotatable relative to the shaft; and a biasing device attached to the shaft and flexibly coupling the rest to the shaft; wherein when the shaft is rotated to the first position the rest is rotated to a raised state, when the shaft is rotated to the intermediary position the rest is rotated to a dropped state, and when the shaft is rotated from the intermediary position to the second position the rest is maintained in the dropped state; and wherein the biasing device is distorted by torsional force when the shaft is rotated from the intermediary position to the second position. a housing; a shaft mounted to the housing, the shaft being rotatable between a first position and a second position with an intermediary position therebetween; an actuator attached to the shaft for connecting to a portion of the bow; a rest mounted to the shaft, wherein the rest is rotatable relative to the shaft; and a biasing device attached to the shaft and flexibly coupling the rest to the shaft; wherein when the shaft is rotated to the first position the rest is rotated to a raised state, when the shaft is rotated to the intermediary position the rest is rotated to a dropped state, and when the shaft is rotated from the intermediary position to the second position the rest is maintained in the dropped state; and wherein the biasing device is distorted by torsional force when the shaft is rotated from the intermediary position to the second position.
