Color changing lighted nock for arrow shafts
First Claim
1. A color changing lighted nock for arrow shafts, comprising:
- a nock assembly; and
an electronic circuit disposed within the nock assembly, the electronic circuit comprising;
a red/green/blue (RGB) light emitting diode (LED);
a first flip-flop coupled to the RGB LED; and
a magnetic sensor coupled to the first flip-flop.

Abstract
An LED of a lighted nock sequentially advances through multiple different emitted colors by exposing the nock to a magnetic field. The nock is placed in the activated or lit state. Then a magnet is brought within range of a magnetic sensor included in the electronic circuit of the nock assembly. The change in the magnetic field causes the electronic circuit to advance the emitted LED light to the next color in a sequence of multiple colors. Repeated removal and re-application of the magnetic field while the LED remains lit advances the LED color repeatedly through the available colors until the user reaches their desired color. Then the LED is deactivated or turned off. Then when the LED is re-lit, it will still be in the last color chosen, and will remain there until the color is advanced again.
