US12449226 - Archery stabilizer mount and related method of use

An archery stabilizer mount is provided and can include a base that indexes an archery stabilizer in a fixed, angular orientation relative to the base, and a bracket, which attaches to an archery bow riser, where the base is selectively installable and removable from the bracket without altering the stabilizer orientation relative to the base and/or the archery bow. The base can be repeatedly removed from and installed relative to the bracket while maintaining a reference element of the archery stabilizer indexed in the fixed angular orientation relative to the base and to the bracket. The reference element can be a branding element, such as a logo, image, alphanumeric characters or other indicia.

The patent describes an archery stabilizer mount that allows for the stabilizer to be indexed in a fixed angular orientation relative to the bow, enabling easy installation and removal without altering this orientation. It includes a method for securing the stabilizer to the bow using a bracket and base system that maintains the alignment of a reference element, such as a logo, during the process.

Claim 1

A method of installing a stabilizer on an archery bow, the method comprising: installing a fastener relative to a bracket such that the fastener extends through the bracket and into a riser hole defined by a riser of an archery bow; engaging a fastener head against the bracket to secure the bracket to the riser, the bracket including a bracket pocket bounded by a first bracket rail and a moveable capture plate including an opposing second bracket rail; providing an elongated stabilizer including a reference element aligned with a longitudinal axis of the elongated stabilizer; aligning the reference element in a preselected angular orientation relative to a base including a central portion bounded by a first base rail and an opposing second base rail, where a shaft of the stabilizer projects at least partially through a stabilizer fastener hole of the base; engaging a fastener to the shaft to secure the elongated stabilizer to the base, with the reference element being fixed in the preselected angular orientation relative to the base; interfacing the first bracket rail with the first base rail, and the second bracket rail with the second base rail so that the base registers with the bracket, the base covering the fastener head; and operating a lock to move the second bracket rail to clamp the base within the bracket in a fixed position, whereby the elongated stabilizer is secured to and projects forwardly of the base, bracket and riser of the archery bow. installing a fastener relative to a bracket such that the fastener extends through the bracket and into a riser hole defined by a riser of an archery bow; engaging a fastener head against the bracket to secure the bracket to the riser, the bracket including a bracket pocket bounded by a first bracket rail and a moveable capture plate including an opposing second bracket rail; providing an elongated stabilizer including a reference element aligned with a longitudinal axis of the elongated stabilizer; aligning the reference element in a preselected angular orientation relative to a base including a central portion bounded by a first base rail and an opposing second base rail, where a shaft of the stabilizer projects at least partially through a stabilizer fastener hole of the base; engaging a fastener to the shaft to secure the elongated stabilizer to the base, with the reference element being fixed in the preselected angular orientation relative to the base; interfacing the first bracket rail with the first base rail, and the second bracket rail with the second base rail so that the base registers with the bracket, the base covering the fastener head; and operating a lock to move the second bracket rail to clamp the base within the bracket in a fixed position, whereby the elongated stabilizer is secured to and projects forwardly of the base, bracket and riser of the archery bow.
