Definitions
- toy bows that have elastic strings use elastic strings that are made from a synthetic polymer, such as silicon, TPR or some other synthetic rubber.
- elastic strings are constantly under tension. As such, if the material of the string creeps or degrades, the elastic string will break. This stops the toy bow from being functional.
- the present invention is a toy bow assembly that is used to launch toy projectiles.
- the toy bow assembly includes a bow structure having a first arm section and a second arm section. Both the first arm section and the second arm section have sheathed areas that are protected from ambient light. A central area is disposed between the first arm section and the second arm section.
- FIG. 4 shows a toy projectile engaging the
- the first arm section 28 contains a sheath structure 35 that defines a first internal compartment 37.
- the first internal compartment 37 has a bottom end 39 that faces toward the open central region 15.
- the second arm section 30 contains a sheath structure 41 that defines a second internal
- the second internal compartment 43 is has a top end 45 that faces toward the open central region 15. Both sheath structures 35, 41 are opaque.
- Two pivot post structures 31, 32 are mounted to the bow structure 12 outside the bottom opening 39 of the first sheath structure 35 and the top opening 45 of the bottom sheath structure 41.
- FIG. 3 shows only one of the pivot post structures 31, the description offered stands for both pivot post structures 31, 32 equally.
- Each pivot post structure 31, 32 defines two narrow channels 40. In Fig. 3, only one channel 40 is shown. It will be understood that a second channel lay below the shown channel 40 in a parallel configuration.
- Each of the loading loops 16 is a loop structure of an elastic element 18 that creates two runs 47, 48.
- the runs 47, 48 of each elastic element 18 extend through the sheath structures 35, 41 and through the two pivot posts 31, 32.
- Each elastic element 18 has two ends. Both ends of each elastic loop 18 are affixed to anchored posts 44, 46 within the sheath structure 35, 41. Since the runs 47, 48 of each elastic element 18 extend through the sheath
- the length of the elastic element 18 has a cross section that is smaller than the diameter of the channels 40 in the pivot post structures 31, 32. In this manner, a separate run 47, 48 of the elastomeric element 18 can pass through each of the openings 40, therein keeping the two runs 47, 48 of the loop apart.
- each length of the elastic element 18 is divided into two runs 47, 48.
- the first run 47 extends between an anchor post and the reinforcement tube 50 on the far side of the pivot post structure.
- the second run 48 extends from the reinforcement tube 50 back to the anchor post. The looping of the elastic element 18 between the two runs 47, 48 curves the reinforcement tubes 50 and creates the two loading loops 16.
- the presence of the reinforcement tubes 50 protects the elastic element 18 inside the loading loops 16 from exposure to light. Consequently, when the elastic elements 18 are at rest, the entire length of each of the elastic elements 18 is shielded from ambient light. Due to the offset of the handle 26, an open central region 15 exists between the two pivot post structures 31, 32. The loading loops 16 each extend into the open central region 15 from opposite sides.
- the arrow projectile 14 has two hook elements 20 extending from opposite sides.
- the hook elements 20 are sized and shaped to engage the two loading loops 16 as the hook elements 20 are pulled through the open central region 15.
- the arrow projectile 14 is positioned within the open central region 15 so that the hook elements 20 engage the loading loops 16. Once engaged with the loading loops 16, the arrow
- the elastic elements 18 stretch, they store energy. When the arrow projectile 14 is released, the elastic elements 18 retract and the arrow projectile 14 is accelerated toward the open central region 15. At the open central region 15, the loading loops 16 retract against the pivot post structures 31, 32. The momentum of the arrow projectile 14 causes the arrow projectile 14 to continue its forward movement beyond the open central region 15. This launches the arrow projectile 14 into flight as the hook elements 20 disengage the loading loops 16.
- the bow structure can have many different ornamental shapes.
- the bow structure can also take the form of a crossbow.
- the arrow projectiles can be configured as airplanes, rocket ships or any other flying projectile. All such embodiments are intended to be included within the scope of the present invention as defined by the claims.
