Rotary auger bow stand
View Patent ↗A rotary auger bow mounting stand for removably holding a bow upright on the ground. The stand includes an upright rod with a helical coil or flights forming an auger base having a point at the lower distal end to be fixedly and removably screwed into the ground to support the stand in an upright position. The top end of the rod forming the stand body defines an S-shaped loop configured, sized and shaped and disposed at a selected angle to support a the arm of a bow holding the bow in a substantially vertical position above the ground. The integral loop which supports the is bow forms a handle for the purpose of rotating the auger into the ground.
1. A rotary auger bow
stand comprising: a medial
portion comprising an elongated
rod;
a bottom portion comprising a helical spiral coil having a point extending downward from said elongated rod for a selected distance for penetration into the ground;
and a top portion defining a bow arm rest support comprising at least one curved “S” shaped loop portion including a first straight section extending outwardly from said elongated rod at a selected angle from said top distal end of said elongated rod, a first, curved end section extending from a distal end of said first straight section returning 180 degrees extending inwardly toward said elongated rod forming a second straight section spaced apart, parallel, and in alignment with said first straight section extending past said elongated rod, and a second opposing curved end section returning 180 degrees extending inwardly forming a third straight section extending from said second opposing curved end section spaced apart, parallel, and in alignment with said first straight section and said second straight section.
2. The rotary auger bow stand of claim 1 , wherein a top distal end of said bow rest extends inwardly toward said medial section to a position in alignment therewith.
3. The rotary auger bow stand of claim 1 , wherein said medial section, said bow supporting section, and said bottom section are integrally formed from a single elongated rod.
4. The rotary auger bow stand of claim 1 , wherein said bow rest includes at least one sound dampening sleeve composed of material selected from the group consisting of a fabric, a polymer, a rubber, an elastomer, and combinations thereof for covering a selected portion of said bow rest.
5. The rotary auger bow stand of claim 1 , wherein said bow rest includes an additional loop for holding an arm of an additional bow.
6. The rotary auger bow stand of claim 5 , wherein said additional loop is spaced apart from said at least two opposing looped sections at a selected width forming a wider or narrower loop.
7. The rotary auger bow stand of claim 1 , wherein said bow arm rest support is bent at an angle with respect to said elongated rod.
8. A rotary auger bow
stand comprising: a medial section comprising an
elongated vertical rod;
a bow rest supporting section comprising a curved rod having at least one “S” shaped loop extending upwardly from atop distal end of said medial section comprising a rod having at least two opposing looped sections spaced apart from and in alignment with one another for receiving an arm of a bow, said at least two opposing looped sections including a first portion extending outwardly from said medial section at a right angle and a second portion extending upwardly over and spaced apart from and in alignment with said first portion forming a first curved loop extending past medial section a selected equal distance from said medial section and a third top portion extending upwardly over and spaced apart from and in alignment with said second portion forming a second curved portion extending a selected distance in alignment with said medial section; and
a bottom section extending from a bottom distal end of said medial section, said bottom section comprising a helical spiral coil extending downward therefrom a selected distance including a tapered point for penetration into the ground.
9. The rotary auger bow stand of claim 8 , wherein a top distal end of said bow rest extends inwardly toward said medial section to a position in alignment therewith.
10. The rotary auger bow stand of claim 8 , wherein said medial section, said bow supporting section, and said bottom section are integrally formed from a single elongated rod.
11. The rotary auger bow stand of claim 8 , wherein said bow rest includes at least one sound dampening sleeve composed of material selected from the group consisting of a fabric, a polymer, a rubber, an elastomer, and combinations thereof for covering a selected portion of said bow rest.
12. The rotary auger bow stand of claim 8 , wherein said bow rest includes an additional loop for holding an arm of an additional bow.
13. The rotary auger bow stand of claim 8 , wherein said bow rest supporting section is bent at an angle with respect to said elongated vertical rod.
14. The rotary auger bow stand of claim 12 , wherein said additional loop is spaced apart from said at least two opposing looped sections at a selected width forming a wider or narrower loop.
