Description
- This application is a Continuation of International Application No. PCT/US2004/012687 filed Apr. 23, 2004 and published Nov. 4, 2004 as International Publication No. WO 2004/094934, designating the United States, and which claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/464,768 filed Apr. 23, 2003, the teachings of which are incorporated by reference.
- The present invention relates generally to a sighting system for an archery bow. More particularly, the present invention relates to an illumination sighting system for an archery bow that illuminates the target with a light and which provides power saving and convenient on/off switching performance.
- Conventional archery laser sights are typically mounted on a specially provided bracket, such as shown in
FIG. 5 . Unfortunately, the mounting bracket usually spaces the laser sight from the path of the arrow, which can introduce angular error along much of the arrows path. Therefore the field of accuracy is limited to only those narrow regions around the intersection of the laser's path and the arrows path. - Additionally, the mounting brackets required for most laser sights often replace the fixtures needed for conventional sighting pins or otherwise interfere with the use of conventional sighting pins. While it may often be desirable to use a laser sight over a conventional sighting pin, in very bright lighting conditions the visibility of the projected laser dot may be greatly reduced, making it difficult for an archer to determined the point of aim. In such circumstances the lack of conventional sighting pins may leave the archer without any capability to accurately aim the arrow.
- Conventional laser sights are generally activated by a switch that must be manually engaged. However this may increase the time needed to properly acquire a target once spotted. In addition the necessary act of turning the laser sight on or maintaining pressure on a switch may require awkward and uncomfortable positions that may compromise accuracy.
- The present invention provides a laser sight for use with an archery bow. The laser sight may be dimensioned and configured to be mounted on a mounting bracket for conventional sighting pins, and may be configured not to interfere with the optional use of the conventional sighting pins. Additionally, the laser sight may be activated by a switch in response to drawing the bow. According to one embodiment, the switch may, for example, have a flexible member attached to a portion of the bow that moves when the bow string is drawn. This aspect may provide hands free activation of the laser sight when the bow is drawn and corresponding deactivation when the draw is released.
- According to one aspect, there is provided a laser sight for an archery bow including a laser element having a laser diode, and an activation switch, and a mounting pin extending from the laser element. The mounting pin may be adapted to be received in a sight pin bracket disposed on a bow.
- According to another aspect, an archery system is provided including a bow having a first and second limb coupled to a handle at a first end of each limb, and a string extending between a second end of each limb. The archery system may further include a sight bracket disposed on the handle, in which the sight bracket includes at least one sight pin and a laser sight. The laser sight of the archery system may include a laser element having a laser diode, and an activation switch, and a mounting pin extending from the laser element. The mounting pin may be adapted to be received in the sight pin bracket.
- Features and advantages of the present invention are set forth by the description of exemplary embodiments of the invention, which description should be understood in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein:
-
FIG. 1 is an elevation view of an exemplary laser sight consistent with the present invention, including an enlarged schematic view showing one exemplary pull switch; -
FIG. 1 a illustrates an enlarged view of an exemplary pull-switch that may suitably be used with the laser system ofFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 2 schematically illustrates an exemplary proximity switch that may be used with a laser sight consistent with the present invention; -
FIG. 3 illustrates an exemplary archery bow set up including a laser sight consistent with the present invention; -
FIG. 4 is an enlarged front view of the sight mounting feature ofFIG. 3 , including a laser sight consistent with the present invention and a conventional sighting pin; and -
FIG. 5 illustrates a conventional archery bow set up including a conventional laser sight provided on a separate mounting bracket and showing the effect of angular error with the sight. - An archery sighting device consistent with the present invention directs an illuminating image onto a target for aiming an arrow fired from an archery bow. While the term “laser sight” is used herein to describe the sighting device, a laser illuminating element is only one exemplary illuminating element. Alternative illuminating elements will be apparent to those having skill in the art.
- Referring to
FIGS. 3 and 4 , a general set up of anexemplary laser sight 10 consistent with the invention is shown. Thelaser sight 10 may be provided having a compact size and shape, which may allow thelaser sight 10 to be mounted in a sightpin guard bracket 12, which may be provided on an archery bow, along with anyconventional sight pins 14. In one embodiment, thelaser sight 10 may be sized such that it does not interfere with the use of theconventional sight pins 14, thereby providing the archer with the opportunity to alternatively aim with either thelaser sight 10 or theconventional sighting pins 14. The alternative use of theconventional sighting pins 14 may be especially advantageous in very brightly lit environments that may make a laser dot generated by thelaser sight 10 difficult to see. - In addition to not obscuring or replacing the
conventional sighting pins 14, the ability to position thelaser sight 10 inside thepin guard bracket 12 may place thelaser sight 10, and thebeam 16 projected by thelaser sight 10, generally inline with both thesight pins 14 and thearrow 18 and thearrow path 20. By positioning thelaser sight 10 generally along thearrow path 20 the accuracy of thelaser sight 10 may be increased over a broader window of yardages. This increased window of accuracy may be provided by reducing the angular error of the system. That is, the farther thelaser sight 10 is from the path of thearrow 20, the greater the angle formed between thelaser path 16 and thearrow path 20, and therein the narrower the field of accuracy. Conversely, the closer thelaser sight 10 is to the path of thearrow 20, the smaller the angle formed between thelaser path 16 and thearrow path 20, and therein the broader the field of accuracy. - According to one embodiment, positioning the
laser sight 10 in close alignment with theconventional sighting pins 14 may advantageously be achieved by actually mounting thelaser sight 10 to thepin bracket 22 that carries theconventional sighting pins 14. In addition to placing thelaser sight 10 generally inline with theconventional sighting pins 14 this mounting configuration may eliminate the need for a separate mounting bracket that may have a negative impact on the balance or feel of the bow. - Referring to
FIGS. 1 and 2 , an embodiment of a mounting configuration of thelaser sight 10 is shown. As in the illustrated embodiment, thelaser element 40 may be disposed on the end of astandard type bolt 42, such as would be used for mounting aconventional sighting pin 14. Accordingly, thelaser sight 10 may be received in a standard sight pin track (not shown). Advantageously, thelaser sight 10 may be retained using twothumb screws mounting bracket 22. Thethumb screws laser sight 10 in a desired position on themounting bracket 22. As mentioned above, this mounting arrangement may not only eliminate the need for additional mounting hardware, but may also place thelaser sight 10 generally inline with theconventional sighting pins 14. - Adjustment of the windage and/or elevation of the
laser sight 10 may be carried out in a similar manner as with aconventional sighting pin 14. For example, adjustment of thelaser sight 10 may be carried out using any global windage and/or elevation adjustment of thesight bracket 22 for producing left/right or up/down translation of theentire mounting bracket 22. Additionally, the laser sight may be adjusted independently of thesight bracket 22 and other pins, e.g. 14, by loosening at least one of thethumb screws laser sight unit 10. For example, elevation may be adjusted by loosening one of thethumb screws laser sight 10 in the pin track, which typically runs vertically or diagonally. Alternatively, at least one of thethumb screws laser sight 10 rotated about the axis of thebolt 42 to angle the projected beam up or down. In a corresponding manner, the windage may be adjusted by loosening one of the thumb screws, e.g. 44, and tightening theother thumb screw 46, thereby advancing or retracting thelaser sight 10 relative to themounting bracket 22. - With continued reference to
FIGS. 1 and 2 , another unique aspect of thelaser sight 10 is the method of activation. Desirably thelaser sight 10 may be activated, i.e., turned on, in response to apull switch 50. Desirably aflexible member 54, such as a flexible tube, a string, wire, etc. may be coupled to thepull switch 50 and to a moving part of the bow such that drawing back thebow string 52 activates thelaser sight 10. Accordingly, it is not necessary to engage a button or slide switch to activate thelaser sight 10, thereby allowing hands-free activation. Referring toFIG. 3 , some exemplary attachment points of theflexible member 54 are shown including thebow string 52, thestring separator 55,cables 57, limbs, e.g. 59,cams 61, 63, etc. Release of the bow string, either by firing an arrow or not, may deactivate thelaser sight 10. - Referring to
FIG. 1 a a firstexemplary pull switch 50 is shown including a connectingpole 60 connected to theflexible member 54. Theexemplary pull switch 50 may include aninner cap 62 that keeps aspring ground wire 64 from completing the circuit with thebatteries flexible member 54 is pulled. When theflexible member 54 is pulled, thespring 68 urges thebatteries spring ground wire 64 to complete the circuit activating thelaser diode 70. Releasing the tension on theflexible member 54 may cause the circuit to open, thereby deactivating thelaser diode 70. - Referring to
FIG. 2 an exemplary proximity switch 50 a is illustrated including a magnetic activatingelement 80. Consistent with this embodiment asmall metal plate 82 may be attached to the bow. Themetal plate 82 is disposed adjacent themagnetic element 80 such that when the bow is drawn themetal plate 82 moves the twomagnetic element 80 may allow current to flow though thewires 84 associated with theflexible member 54. When current is allowed to pass through themagnetic element 80 thelaser sight 10 is activated. - Numerous other switch configurations for activating the sight will be understood by those having skill in the art. Such alternative switches may include pull switches; proximity switches; strain switches, which may be activated by flexing of the bow; etc. Such alternative switches will preferably be responsive to drawing the bow. Similarly, alternative mounting configurations within the spirit of the invention herein will also be appreciated by those having skill in the art.
