The coupling groove 130 is formed at one end of the handle 100 in which the coupling pin 220 of each wing 200 to be described later is fixedly inserted into coupling groove 130. The coupling pin 220 of each wing 200 is inserted into and through an upper portion of the coupling groove 130. Then, each wing 200 is put down toward the center of the handle 100 and is coupled with the handle 100, and an opening width of a lower portion of the coupling groove 130 is formed smaller than the size of the coupling pin 220, so as to prevent escape of the coupled coupling pin 220 in a forward direction. Further, an insertion groove 131 is formed on a bottom surface of the coupling groove 130, and a coupling projection 221 protruding to the coupling pin 220 of each wing 200 is fixedly inserted into the insertion groove 131.
Meanwhile, a T-shaped wing coupling block 140 that is detachably coupled to each end of the handle 100 is formed in the embodiment shown in
The fitting groove 210 having a predetermined length is formed at one end of each wing 200, so that the fixing pin 120 of the handle 100 is inserted and fixed into the fitting groove 210 so as to make each wing 200 coupled to the handle 100. In addition, the coupling pin 220 coupled to the coupling groove 130 of the handle 100 is formed at one side of a rear end of one end of each wing 200, and the coupling projection 221 that is protruded rearwards and inserted into the insertion groove 131 of the handle 100 is formed in the coupling pin 220. In addition, the insertion hole 230 into which the buffer pin member 300 is inserted is formed between the fitting groove 210 and the coupling pin 220 at one end of each wing 200.
The buffer pin member 300 plays a role of suppressing displacement caused at one end of each wing 200 coupled to the handle 100 and attenuating vibration caused at one end of each wing 200. The buffer pin member 300 includes a pin member 310 that is inserted into the insertion hole 230 of each wing 200 and is coupled to the handle 100, and a first cushioning member 330 that is formed between a front end 320 of the pin member 310 and each wing 200.
The pin member 310 of the buffer pin member 300 is inserted into the insertion hole 230 of each wing 200 and is coupled to the handle 100, and a pin head that forms the front end 320 of the pin member 310 is disposed in front of each wing 200. The pin member 310 is detachably screwed with the handle 100 between the coupling groove 130 and the fixing pin 120.
The first cushioning member 330 is coupled to the pin member 310 between the front end 320 and each wing 200. In this embodiment, the first cushioning member 330 is made of a rubber material, but a soft plastic material may be used as the first cushioning member 330.
The present invention has the above-described configuration, and thus solves the conventional problems that the conventional art may cause a displacement at one end of each wing coupled to the handle since the bow string 30 of
In addition, as illustrated in
Next, a bow according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to
The bow according to the second embodiment is different from that of the first embodiment in view of a structure that the buffer pin member is coupled to the handle. In the first embodiment, the pin member 310 of the buffer pin member 300 is coupled in front of the bow, but in the second embodiment, a pin member 410 of a buffer pin member 400 is coupled at the back of the handle 100. Thus, the pin member 410 of the buffer pin member 400 in the second embodiment is screwed with the handle 100 and then inserted into the insertion hole 230 of each wing 200. Then, the pin member 410 is screwed with a nut 420 in front of each wing 200. Thus, in the second embodiment, a first cushioning member 430 is formed between the nut 420 forming the front end of the pin member 410 and each wing 200, and a second cushioning member 440 is formed between each wing 200 and the handle 100.
Other configuration and effects in the second embodiment are same as those in the first embodiment, and thus, the detailed description thereof is omitted here.
Next, a bow according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to
A buffer pin member 500 in the third embodiment includes a pin member 510 that is inserted into an insertion hole 150 of the handle 100 and coupled to each wing 200, and a first cushioning member 530 that is formed between a rear end 520 of the pin member 510 and the handle 100.
In the third embodiment, the pin member 510 of the buffer pin member 500 is inserted into the insertion hole 150 of the handle 100 at the rear side of the handle 100, to then be coupled to each wing 200, and a rear end 520 of the pin member 510 is disposed at the rear side of the handle 100. The pin member 510 is detachably screwed with each wing 200 between the coupling groove 130 and the fixing pin 120.
A first cushioning member 530 is coupled to the pin member 510 between the rear end 520 of the pin member 510 and the handle 100, and the material of the first cushioning member 530 is made in the same manner as that of the first embodiment.
In the third embodiment, when the pin member 510 is compared with those of the previous embodiments, the pin member 510 differs from those of previous embodiments, in that the pin member 510 is screwed with each wing 200. However, since the first cushioning member 530 is formed between the rear end 520 of the pin member 510 and the handle 100, in the third embodiment, a displacement that may occur at one end of each wing 200 coupled to the handle 100 may be suppressed as in the first embodiment, and a vibration that may be simultaneously generated may be quickly attenuated, to thereby improve accuracy of an arrow.
Further, even in the third embodiment as well as in the previous embodiments, a second cushioning member (not shown) coupled to the pin member 510 may be additionally provided between the handle 100 and each of the wings 200, to thereby further improve a vibration attenuating effect. Besides, other configuration and effects are the same as those in the previous embodiments.
Next, a bow according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to
In the fourth embodiment, instead of the buffer pin member in the previous embodiments, a front support portion 170 is formed at one end of the handle 100 coupled to each wing 200 and a cushioning member 600 is provided between the front supporting portion 170 and each wing 200.
In this embodiment, the front support portion 170 is bent in an L-shaped form at both sides 160 of the handle 100 that is located at both sides of each wing 200, and is located in front of each wing 200. In addition, the front support portion 170 is formed to have a predetermined length in the longitudinal direction. In addition, the cushioning member 600 having the same length as that of the front support portion 170 is combined between the front support portion 170 and each wing 200 on the rear surface of the front supporting portion 170. The material of the cushioning member 600 is the same as those of the previous embodiments.
Thus, even in the fourth embodiment, a configuration such as the front support portion 170 and the cushioning member 600 is provided at the end of the handle to which the wings are coupled. As a result, a displacement that may occur at one end of each wing 200 coupled to the handle 100 may be suppressed, and a vibration that may simultaneously be generated may be quickly attenuated, to thereby improve accuracy of an arrow.
Next, a bow according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to
In the fifth embodiment, a buffer pin member 700 is provided to support each of wings 200 in front of each wing 200, and the buffer pin member 700 includes a pin member 710 that is formed between both sides 160 of the handle 100 in front of each wing 200, and a cushioning member 730 that surrounds the outer circumferential surface of the pin member 710.
Thus, in this embodiment, the buffer pin member 700 supports the front end of each wing to suppress displacement of each wing, and the cushioning member 730 is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the pin member 710 to attenuate vibration generated at each wing, to thereby improve accuracy of an arrow.
As described above, the present invention has been described with respect to particularly preferred embodiments. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and it is possible for one who has an ordinary skill in the art to make various modifications and variations, without departing off the spirit of the present invention. Thus, the protective scope of the present invention is not defined within the detailed description thereof but is defined by the claims to be described later and the technical spirit of the present invention.
