International Classification:

F42B 6/06
F42B 6/04

US Classification:

473570, 473578

Abstract:

A tracking apparatus for securing a transmitting device onto a target game animal. The tracking apparatus engages with a target and separates the apparatus from the arrow. The apparatus includes a transmitting device for transmitting a signal to a receiving device; a stopping component for detaching the tracking apparatus from the arrow after the arrow collides with the target; and a securing component for securing the tracking apparatus to the target, said securing component including barbs angled towards the rear of the arrow for stopping rebound motion of the tracking apparatus after the arrow collides with the target. In one embodiment, the barbs are reinforced with reinforcing arms. In another embodiment, the securing component includes a torsion spring. In another embodiment, the stopping component includes one or more wings with a front edge facing the front of the arrow that is relatively perpendicular to the axis of the arrow.

Phillip Kirsch - Burlington WI, US

International Classification:

F42B 6/06

Abstract:

A pin nock assembly comprises a pin and nock. The pin includes a pin base, a pin element positioned laterally away from the pin base, and a pin collar positioned between the pin base and pin element. The pin element protrudes laterally from the pin collar along a central axis. The central axis extends from a center of the pin base through a center of the pin element. The nock includes a nock base and a string interface positioned laterally away from the nock base. The nock base defines a pin cavity complementary to and configured to receive the pin element. A base portion of the nock base is positioned around the pin cavity and is configured to abut the pin collar when the pin element is inserted into the pin cavity. The string interface is configured to contact a string of a crossbow.
