- Some conventional attachments for arrows help to prevent a line, such as a bow-fishing line, from tangling with a bowstring as the bowstring is released and an arrow is discharged from an archery bow.
- a slide and a stop device is known from and taught by U.S. Pat. No. 6,517,453, the teachings and the entire disclosure of which are incorporated into this specification by reference thereto.
- This particular attachment includes the bow-fishing line tied to the slide which stays in front of the hand of an archer and stays in the arrow rest during drawback of the bowstring. After the arrow is released, the slide moves back to the stop which is located close to the rearward end of the arrow. The stop is designed to not touch the arrow rest or the archery bow handle during release.
- This invention provides an improved slide and stop device that can be used with an archery bow or a crossbow. Because of the ability to prevent tangling as a line passes through or is secured to a slide device, an arrow or a bolt can be used for bow hunting activities, particularly bow-fishing activities.
- a slide is slidably mounted on the arrow shaft.
- the slide is positioned on the arrow shaft in a starting, resting or prelaunch position that is forward of an arrow rest and also between the arrow rest and a point end or a forward end portion of the arrow.
- the bow-fishing line is tied or otherwise secured to and positioned between the slide and the bow.
- the arrow carries the bow-fishing line and the bow-fishing line stops when the arrow stops at the fish or other target. Because the bow-fishing line is tied or otherwise secured with respect to the arrow shaft, and the stop device is also attached to the arrow shaft, the archer can use the bow-fishing line to retrieve the arrow and the fish or other target.
- the line is passed or routed through a bore within the slide and the bore is sized and shaped to allow the line to be secured to, be guided through, to flow through or to pass freely through the bore. It is possible for one end of the line to be tied or otherwise fixed or secured to a shaft, such as an arrow shaft or a bolt shaft of a crossbow, and for the other end of the line to be tied or otherwise fixed or secured to an archery bow or a crossbow. As an arrow or crossbow bolt is discharged from the bow or the crossbow, the line can be secured to or freely routed through the bore of the slide and thus allows the line to stay or remain tied to both the shaft and the archery bow or the crossbow.
- a shaft such as an arrow shaft or a bolt shaft of a crossbow
- a method for allowing the line to move along the shaft includes movably mounting the slide on an outer surface of the shaft and positioning the line within the bore of the slide. In some embodiments of this invention, the line is moved with respect to the shaft. A stop can be used to prevent the slide from releasing or dismounting from or with respect to the shaft.

Abstract
Description
- This invention relates to an apparatus and a method for guiding a line along or allowing the line to travel or move with respect to a shaft, such as an arrow shaft or a crossbow bolt shaft.
- Some conventional attachments for arrows help to prevent a line, such as a bow-fishing line, from tangling with a bowstring as the bowstring is released and an arrow is discharged from an archery bow. A slide and a stop device is known from and taught by U.S. Pat. No. 6,517,453, the teachings and the entire disclosure of which are incorporated into this specification by reference thereto. This particular attachment includes the bow-fishing line tied to the slide which stays in front of the hand of an archer and stays in the arrow rest during drawback of the bowstring. After the arrow is released, the slide moves back to the stop which is located close to the rearward end of the arrow. The stop is designed to not touch the arrow rest or the archery bow handle during release.
- Many conventional attachments for bow-fishing lines are dangerous and present a significant safety hazard when shooting or discharging an arrow or a crossbow bolt, such as at a fish or other similar game. For example, when an archer shoots or discharges an archery bow with a bow-fishing line tied to the arrow and the arrow travels with high acceleration and high velocity, the bow-fishing line also travels at that same high acceleration and high velocity and it is very important for the bow-fishing line to not tangle. There have been some occurrences where an archer shot or discharged an arrow at a fish and the bow-fishing line got tangled and caused the arrow to travel back at and hit the archer.
- There is an apparent need for an improved slide and stop device, particularly one that prevents tangling of the line.
- This invention provides an improved slide and stop device that can be used with an archery bow or a crossbow. Because of the ability to prevent tangling as a line passes through or is secured to a slide device, an arrow or a bolt can be used for bow hunting activities, particularly bow-fishing activities.
- According to some embodiments of this invention, before an arrow is shot or discharged from a bow, a slide is slidably mounted on the arrow shaft. In some embodiments of this invention, the slide is positioned on the arrow shaft in a starting, resting or prelaunch position that is forward of an arrow rest and also between the arrow rest and a point end or a forward end portion of the arrow. The bow-fishing line is tied or otherwise secured to and positioned between the slide and the bow. When shooting or discharging the arrow, the slide moves along the arrow shaft until the slide reaches a stop device attached to the arrow shaft, such as attached at a rearward end or end portion of the arrow shaft. The arrow carries the bow-fishing line and the bow-fishing line stops when the arrow stops at the fish or other target. Because the bow-fishing line is tied or otherwise secured with respect to the arrow shaft, and the stop device is also attached to the arrow shaft, the archer can use the bow-fishing line to retrieve the arrow and the fish or other target.
- In some embodiments of this invention, the line is passed or routed through a bore within the slide and the bore is sized and shaped to allow the line to be secured to, be guided through, to flow through or to pass freely through the bore. It is possible for one end of the line to be tied or otherwise fixed or secured to a shaft, such as an arrow shaft or a bolt shaft of a crossbow, and for the other end of the line to be tied or otherwise fixed or secured to an archery bow or a crossbow. As an arrow or crossbow bolt is discharged from the bow or the crossbow, the line can be secured to or freely routed through the bore of the slide and thus allows the line to stay or remain tied to both the shaft and the archery bow or the crossbow.
- In some embodiments according to this invention, a method for allowing the line to move along the shaft includes movably mounting the slide on an outer surface of the shaft and positioning the line within the bore of the slide. In some embodiments of this invention, the line is moved with respect to the shaft. A stop can be used to prevent the slide from releasing or dismounting from or with respect to the shaft.
- The features and elements of this invention are better understood when the following specification is taken in view of the drawings, wherein:
-
FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a slide and a stop apparatus, showing a portion of an arrow shaft, according to one embodiment of this invention; -

As shown inFIGS. 1-5 ,slide 20 is mounted on and/or movable in a generally linear direction alongshaft 14, for example, in a direction along a longitudinal axis ofshaft 14.Shaft 14 can be an arrow shaft or a crossbow bolt, for example. In some embodiments of this invention,slide 20 can be moved into a position onshaft 14 andline 12 can be secured, attached, fixed and/or otherwise held in a desired position on or with respect toslide 20. According to some embodiments of this invention,stop 30 is secured, attached, fixed and/or otherwise held in a desired position on or with respect toshaft 14, such as at or near an end or an end portion ofshaft 14. Stop 30 can be used to preventslide 20 from dismounting or releasing from or with respect toshaft 14. - In some embodiments of this invention,
slide 20 is movably mounted on or with respect toouter surface 15 ofshaft 14. As shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 ,body 22 ofslide 20 forms bore 24 which is sized and shaped to accommodateshaft 14 or to allowbody 22 ofslide 20 to move with respect toshaft 14. Most conventional arrows have a circular cross-section with a circular outer peripheral surface. In some embodiments of this invention,bore 24 is sized to accommodate or positionshaft 14 withinbore 24. In some embodiments of this invention,slide 20 is movably mounted on or with respect toshaft 14 and can be moved into a desired or particular position, such as a starting or prelaunch position ofshaft 14. In some embodiments of this invention,slide 20 can be secured, fixed, attached and/or otherwise held in place or position so that there is no movement or relatively little movement ofslide 20 with respect toshaft 14. In some embodiments of this invention,slide 20 is releasably secured in a fixed or secured position alongshaft 14. - In some embodiments of this invention, before an arrow or crossbow bolt is shot or discharged from a bow,
slide 20 is movably and/or slidably mounted on or with respect toshaft 14. In some embodiments of this invention, initially or prior to shooting,slide 20 is positioned onshaft 14 in a starting position, a resting position and/or a prelaunch position that is located forward of an arrow rest that is attached to the archery bow, andslide 20 is also positioned between the arrow rest and a point end or end portion ofshaft 14. In some embodiments of this invention, one end ofline 12 is tied or otherwise attached to, secured to and/or fixed in position to slide 20. According to some embodiments of this invention,line 12 is routed throughbore 23 ofbody 22 and tied or otherwise secured with respect tobody 22. In some embodiments of this invention, the opposite end or other end ofline 12 is tied or otherwise secured with respect to the bow. In some embodiments of this invention,line 12 is positioned betweenslide 20 and the bow. When shooting or dischargingshaft 14 of the arrow, slide 20 travels and/or otherwise moves alongshaft 14 until slide 20 reaches or travels to stop 30 and/or another suitable stop device which is attached and/or otherwise secured toshaft 14. In some embodiments of this invention,stop 30 is secured or attached at a rearward end or an end portion ofshaft 14. The arrow carriesline 12 as the arrow travels with a relatively high velocity andline 12 stops when the arrow stops at a fish or other target. In some embodiments of this invention,line 12 is tied or otherwise secured to or with respect toshaft 14, andstop 30 is also attached toshaft 14, and the archer can draw or reelline 12 to retrieve the fish or other target material. - In some embodiments of this invention, to accomplish the movable and securable features of
slide 20 with respect toshaft 14,body 22 hasguides 26 andpassages 25. In other embodiments of this invention,body 22 has ribs, ridges, knurls, bumps and/or any other suitable structure or device that creates structural support and/or frictional resistance betweenslide 20 andshaft 14.Guides 26 can be sized and/or shaped to contact or make contact withouter surface 15 ofshaft 14 and thus create structural support and/or frictional resistance betweenbody 22 andouter surface 15. The frictional resistance betweenbody 22 andouter surface 15 can be varied, design and/or selected to provide more or less resistance betweenslide 20 andshaft 14, particularly asslide 20 moves or attempts to move with respect toshaft 14.Passages 25 can be sized and/or shaped to allow debris or other foreign materials, such as dirt and/or sand, to pass throughbody 22 nearouter surface 15. These embodiments can be used to preventslide 20 from binding or stopping movement with respect toshaft 14. In other embodiments according to this invention, a set screw, a pin, a lock and/or any other suitable device can be used to secure or hold a relative position ofslide 20 with respect toshaft 14. - In some embodiments of this invention, such as shown in
FIGS. 1 and 2 ,body 22 ofslide 20 comprises, includes or has bore 23 passing throughbody 22. In some embodiments of this invention, bore 23 is designed, sized and/or shaped to accommodateshaft 14, for example, so thatshaft 14 can be mounted within or pass throughslide 20 and provide or allow movement ofslide 20 with respect toshaft 14. In some embodiments of this invention, bore 23 is a through bore or other suitable void that allowsline 12 to pass throughslide 20, for example, when an arrow is discharged from an archery bow. - In some embodiments of this invention, stop 30 is secured, attached, fixed and/or held in position with respect to
shaft 14 in any suitable manner. For example, stop 30 can form a press fit withshaft 14, such as an end portion ofshaft 14. In other embodiments of this invention, stop 30 can have a screwed connection, an adhesive connection and/or any other suitable connection for fixing a position ofstop 30 with respect toshaft 14. - In some embodiments of this invention, stop 30 comprises
