The present invention relates to a crossbow, and more particularly, to a crossbow with a replaceable bow unit while the magazine is pivotally connected to the crossbow.
The conventional crossbow known to applicant is disclosed in Taiwanese Publication No. 1724942 and includes a magazine which is connected to the top of the crossbow so as to provide arrows into the flight groove one by one, such that the user does not need to put the crossbow down and reload a new arrow. The magazine includes a retainer which provide a downward force to the arrows in the magazine so that the arrow can be loaded in the flight groove of the crossbow one by one.
However, when the bow needs to be replaced, the magazine has to be dis-connected from the crossbow, then the bow is replaced with a new one. The magazine have to be empty before the magazine is removed. This is not convenient for the users and the replacement processes of the bow.
The present invention intends to provide a crossbow with a replaceable bow while the magazine is remained pivotably attached to the crossbow, so as to eliminate the shortcomings mentioned above.
The present invention relates to a crossbow and comprises a body having a stock and a connection end respectively formed to two ends of the body. A connection part is formed to the connection end and includes a clamping portion. The clamping portion includes two side plates between which a space is formed. A bow unit includes a bow and a block which is formed to the middle portion of the bow. The block includes a protrusion which is accommodated in the space and clamped between the two side plates so as to connect the bow unit to the connection part. A magazine has the first end thereof pivotably connected to the body, and the second end of the magazine is removably connected to the clamping portion. The magazine includes two lugs, and the clamping portion is located between the two lugs. A pin extends through the two lugs, the two side plates of the clamping portion and the block to pivotably connect the magazine to the clamping portion of the body.
When replacing the bow unit, the second end of the magazine is pivoted away the body by removing the pin from the clamping portion and the protrusion of the bow unit, such that the bow unit is replaced without removing the magazine from the body of the crossbow.
The present invention will become more obvious from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings which show, for purposes of illustration only, a preferred embodiment in accordance with the present invention.
Referring to
A bow unit 20 includes a bow 21 and a block 22 which is formed to the middle portion of the bow 21. The block 22 includes a protrusion 221 which protrudes toward the space 122 and is accommodated in the space 122, so that the protrusion 221 is clamped between the two side plates 121 to connect the bow unit 20 to the connection part 11.
A magazine 30 has the first end thereof pivotably connected to a position that is located close to the stock 101 of the body 10. The second end of the magazine 30 is removably connected to the clamping portion 12. The magazine 30 includes two lugs 31 extending from the underside thereof. The clamping portion 12 is located between the two lugs 31, and a pin 32 extends through the two lugs 31, the two side plates 121 of the clamping portion 12 and the block 221 to secure the second end of the magazine 30 to the clamping portion 12.
The magazine 30 includes a path 33 defined therethrough, and the body 10 of the crossbow includes a top portion 14 protruding from the top thereof. The top portion 14 is formed with the clamping portion 12 and includes a flight groove 141. The flight groove 141 of the top portion 14 communicates with the path 33 of the magazine 30 when the magazine 30 is connected to the top of the body 10.
When installing the magazine 30, the first end of the magazine 30 is pivotably connected to the body 10, and the second end of the magazine 30 is pivoted toward the clamping portion 12 to locate the clamping portion 12 between the two lugs 31. The pin 32 extends through the two lugs 31, the two side plates 121 of the clamping portion 12 and the block 221 to secure the second end of the magazine 30 to the clamping portion 12 as shown in
The magazine 30 is secured to the body 10 of the crossbow at the first end and the second end of the magazine 30. Multiple arrows (not shown) are loaded in the magazine 30 via the path 33, so that the arrows can be fed into the flight groove 141 one by one. The replacement of the bow unit 20 is convenient by simply pulling the pin 32 out from the protrusion 221 of the bow unit 20 to allow the second end of the magazine 30 to be pivoted away from the clamping portion 12. Then the new bow unit 20 can be installed to the crossbow, and the pin 32 extends through the two lugs 31, the two side plates 121 of the clamping portion 12 and the block 221 again to secure the second end of the magazine 30 to the clamping portion 12. During the replacement processes, the first end of the magazine 30 is connected to the body 10 of the crossbow.
Specifically, as shown in
As shown in
While we have shown and described the embodiment in accordance with the present invention, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that further embodiments may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
