1. An arrow holding and loading device for an archery bow including a bow riser and a bow string substantially defining a shoot plane, said device comprising:
- arrow rest means for aligning an arrow in the shoot plane, said arrow rest means being rigidly connected to said bow riser; and
a first carriage assembly storing a follow-up arrow, said first carriage assembly being rigidly connected to said bow riser and being separate from said arrow rest means, said first carriage assembly including means for transferring the follow-up arrow from a stored position to the arrow rest means upon release of a shoot arrow, wherein the arrow rest means is positioned in the shoot plane and is operable to stop the transverse movement of the follow-up arrow as the first assembly transfers the follow-up arrow from the stored position to the shoot plane.

Abstract
An arrow holding and loading device for an archery bow has a frame to be bolted to the bow so that it can support a carriage that moves horizontally from left to right at the arrow plate side of the riser, through a window in the arrow plate side of the riser, or to the rear of the riser to automatically shift a follow-up arrow into shooting position upon release by the archer of an initial arrow.

19. An arrow holding and loading device for an archery bow including a bow riser and a bow string substantially defining a shoot plane, said device comprising:
-
connecting means for connecting the holding and loading device to the bow riser; and a first carriage assembly operable to transfer a follow-up arrow from a stored position to a shoot position, said follow-up arrow being held in the stored position so as to be substantially parallel to the shoot plane, said first carriage assembly including a first release means for releasing said first carriage assembly from the stored position upon a flexing motion to the bow caused by releasing the bow string when firing a shoot arrow, said first release means including an adjustable member for adjusting the tension at which the first carriage assembly is held in the stored position, wherein the adjustable member is operable to lock the carriage assembly in the stored position, said adjustable member disengaging from the carriage assembly when the carriage assembly is released from the stored position. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37)

38. An arrow holding and loading device for an archery bow including a bow riser and a bow string substantially defining a shoot plane, said device comprising:
-
a support member rigidly connected to the bow riser; a first carriage assembly connected to the support member by means of a rod member, said first carriage assembly being pivotally attached to said rod member such that the first carriage assembly is operable to transfer a follow-up arrow from a stored position to the shoot plane in a pivotal arrangement, said follow-up arrow being held in the stored position so as to be substantially parallel to the shoot plane; first biasing means for causing the first carriage assembly to pivot from the stored position to the shoot plane, wherein the biasing means is under tension when the first carriage assembly is in the stored position, said first biasing means being connected to the rod member; and first release means for releasing the first carriage assembly from the stored position to the shoot plane upon a flexing motion to the bow caused by releasing the bow string when shooting a shoot arrow, said first release means including an adjustable member for adjusting the tension at which the first carriage assembly is held in the stored position, wherein the adjustable member is operable to lock the carriage assembly in the stored position, said adjustable member disengaging from the carriage assembly when the carriage assembly is released from the stored position. - View Dependent Claims (39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45)

46. An arrow holding and loading device for an archery bow including a bow riser and a bow string substantially defining a shoot plane, said device comprising:
-
a carriage assembly connected to the bow riser by at least one rod member, said rod member being positionable in a canal within the bow riser, said rod member operable to slide within the canal in order to transfer a follow-up arrow from a stored position to the shoot plane; biasing means for moving the carriage assembly between the stored position and the shoot plane, said biasing means being rigidly attached to the carriage assembly at one end and to the bow riser at an opposite end such that when the carriage assembly is in the stored position the biasing means is under tension in order to force the carriage assembly to the shoot position; and release means for releasing the carriage assembly from the stored position to the shoot plane upon a flexing motion to the bow caused by releasing the bow string when shooting a shoot arrow. - View Dependent Claims (47, 48)

49. An archery bow including a bow riser, bow limbs and a bow string substantially defining a bow plane, said bow riser adaptable to rigidly position an arrow holding and loading device, said bow riser comprising:
-
a grip section substantially within the plane defined the bow riser and the bow limbs; and a bow riser shelf extending from the bow riser in a substantially perpendicular manner to the grip section, said bow riser shelf defining at least one hole extending through the bow riser shelf, said at least one hole being operable to accept a first securing means for rigidly securing the arrow holding and loading device to the bow riser. - View Dependent Claims (50, 51, 52, 53)
