First Claim
Patent Images
1. An illuminated bowsight comprising:
- a. a body member having a cavity defined therein;
b. mounting means attached to the body member for mounting the bowsight on the bow;
c. a circular sighting ring attached to the body member;
d. a battery received in the cavity in the body member; and
e. a light-emitting diode having two leads and mounted on the bowsight so as to be positioned in the center of the circle of the sighting ring with the leads being mechanically connected to the sighting ring to fasten the light-emitting diode in position, the light-emitting diode being electrically connected to the battery to provide a visible sighting mark in dim light.

Abstract
An illuminated bowsight is disclosed which includes a light-emitting diode centrally located in a sighting ring and a battery to illuminate the diode. A switching device is provided on the bowsight to selectively connect and disconnect the battery to the light-emitting diode. The switching mechanism is arranged so that no additional wiring is required other than the two leads which are normally provided on a commercially available light-emitting diode.

8. An illuminated bowsight comprising:
-
a. a body member having a cavity defined therein; b. mounting means attached to the body member for mounting the bowsight on a bow; c. a battery received in the cavity in the body member; d. a light-emitting diode extending from the body member so as to be positioned in the line of sight of the archer the light-emitting diode having two leads, one of which is electrically and mechanically connected to the body member and the other of which is selectively connected to the battery; and e. a manually operated switch mounted in the body member for selectively connecting the battery to the other lead of the light-emitting diode to illuminate the light-emitting diode to serve as a sighting mark in dim light. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
