Abstract

A new and improved overdraw arrow rest device having a bow rest mount adapted for securement to a handle area of the bow. Included in the invention is a rest mount having a first wall and a second wall. The rest mount has a support wall that couples a lower portion of the first wall with a lower portion of the second wall. The first wall is coupled with the bow rest mount. The first wall has a rest shaft aperture formed therethrough. The second wall has a rest shaft aperture formed therethrough aligned with the rest shaft aperture of the first wall. A rest shaft is coupled with the aligning rest shaft apertures of the rest mount. A pair of rest prongs are adjustably secured to the rest shaft by retaining lock screws.

Claims

1. A new and improved overdraw arrow rest device for extending the rest area for a bow comprising, in combination:

a bow rest mount having a front portion and a back portion, the front portion having an oblong aperture therethrough, the oblong aperture aligning with an aperture formed through a handle area of the bow for securement thereto by a bow rest mounting screw, the back portion having a first aperture formed therethrough, the back portion having a pair of guide apertures formed therethrough on either side of the first aperture, the back portion having a height retaining aperture formed therethrough downward of the guide apertures;

a resting mount having a first wall and a second wall, the resting mount having a support wall coupling a lower portion of the first wall and a lower portion of the second wall, the first wall having a first threaded aperture aligning with the first aperture of the bow rest mount and secured thereto by a bolt with an "E" ring retainer, the first wall having a pair of guide apertures formed therethrough on either side of the first aperture, the pair of guide apertures aligning with the guide apertures of the bow rest mount and coupled therewith by guide pins, the first wall having a height retaining aperture formed therethrough downward of the guide apertures, the height retaining aperture aligning with the height retaining aperture of the bow rest mount and coupled therewith by a height retaining pin, the first wall having a rest shaft aperture formed therethrough downward of the height retaining aperture, the first wall having a plurality of spring tension adjustment apertures formed therethrough adjacent the rest shaft aperture, the second wall having a rest shaft aperture formed therethrough aligning with the rest shaft aperture of the first wall, a securement aperture formed through the second wall rearwardly of the rest shaft aperture thereof;

a rest shaft having a first end, a second end, and an intermediate extent therebetween, the first end extending through the rest shaft aperture of the first wall of the resting mount and coupled therewith by a retaining lock screw, the second end coupled with the rest shaft aperture of the second wall of the resting mount and secured thereto by a retaining lock screw through the securement aperture formed rearwardly thereof, a tension spring secured inwardly of the first end by a retaining lock screw, the tension spring selectively coupled with the plurality of spring tension adjustment apertures of the first wall of the resting mount, a pair of rest prongs adjustably secured to the intermediate extent of the rest shaft by retaining lock screws, the rest prongs separated therefrom by retaining washers.

2. A new and improved overdraw arrow rest device for extending the rest area for a bow comprising, in combination:

a bow rest mount adapted for securement to a handle area of the bow, the bow rest mount having a pair of guide apertures formed therethrough;

a resting mount having a first wall and a second wall, the resting mount having a support wall coupling a lower portion of the first wall and a lower portion of the second wall, the first wall coupled with the bow rest mount, the first wall having a rest shaft aperture formed therethrough, the second wall having a rest shaft aperture formed therethrough aligning with the rest shaft aperture of the first wall, the first wall having a pair of guide apertures formed therethrough aligning with the guide apertures of the bow rest mount and coupled therewith by guide pins;

a rest shaft coupled with the aligning rest shaft apertures of the resting mount, a pair of rest prongs adjustably secured to the rest shaft by retaining lock screws.

3. The device as described in claim 2 wherein the bow rest mount is secured to the handle area of the bow by a bow rest mounting screw.

4. The device as described in claim 3 wherein the resting mount is coupled to the bow rest mount by a bolt with an "E" ring retainer.

5. The device as described in claim 4 wherein a height retaining pin couples the first wall of the resting mount to the bow rest mount.

6. The device as described in claim 5 wherein a tension spring is selectively coupled to the first wall mount and the rest shaft.
