Quiver
First Claim
1. A quiver for holding a plurality of arrows comprising a base member;
- spaced arrow holding assemblies carried by said base member, each said arrow holding assembly including a base plate, a stop plate extending upwardly from said base plate, and a plurality of independently pivotable tabs;
each of said tabs being provided with means to engage an arrow such that the arrow is removed from said tabs by moving the arrow to pivot said tabs; and
means to adjust the position of each arrow holding assembly along said base member;
such that pivoting of said tabs is limited by engagement of said tabs with said stop plate.

Abstract
A quiver (10) for holding a plurality of arrows (15) includes a base member (11) and spaced arrow holding assemblies (12). Each arrow holding assembly (12) includes a plurality of independently pivotable arrow engaging tabs (23). An arrow (15) is removed from the quiver (10) by moving the arrow (15) to pivot the tabs. The arrow holding assemblies (12) may be adjusted along the longitudinal length of the base member (11). The adjustment may be by 0 use of a mounting flange (19) affixed to each arrow holding assembly (12), and having a groove (20) therein, corresponding to a tongue (21) in base member (11). According to the invention, each arrow holding assembly (12) may include a base plate (16) having a stop plate (18) upwardly extending therefrom, such that the stop plate (18) limits the pivotable movement of the pivotable tabs (23). The quiver (10) may also be provided with a mounting bracket (61) for mounting the quiver (10) to a bow (60). Arcuate slots (70) in one end of the bracket (61) allows pins (71) to move within the arcuate slots (70) to adjust the position of the quiver (10) relative to the bow (60).
