Benefits of technology

[0008]It is a primary object of this invention to provide a top-mounted crossbow quiver from which arrows may be conveniently removed. It is another object to make such quiver mounts interchangeable for either left or right-handed mounting atop the crossbow's central rail. It is another object to provide a crossbow quiver mount for the arrows to extend / run substantially parallel to, yet at least partially above, the crossbow's central rail. That is best accomplished with a bracket mount that affixes itself, preferably adjustably, along one of many points on the picatinney crossbow rail.

Problems solved by technology

However, one main disadvantage with prior quiver mounts includes their position relative to the crossbow itself.
In that location, the quiver interferes with carrying over one's back and / or positioning on the ground when hunting game.
When fully laid down on the quiver case along the crossbow's “belly”, there is a greater risk of causing damage to the arrow bodies or at least their fletchings.

Embodiment Construction

[0028]The following description of preferred embodiments is exemplary and not intended to unnecessarily limit the invention or its end uses. Moreover, while the present invention is described with reference to one particular model of crossbow quiver, it would be appreciated by those skilled in the art that other applications of quivers and / or arrow holders, retail or custom, may be used herewith.

[0029]A typical crossbow quiver for use with the present invention has an arrow protecting end (or sheath), typically towards the front end of the crossbow, and an arrow shaft-holding assembly. The sheath is meant to enclose and protect the crossbow arrowheads while not necessarily engaging same into the quiver proper. Two representative type quivers (though not necessarily for crossbows per se) are shown in Judson et al U.S. Pat. No. 5,265,584 and Sodaro U.S. Pat. No. 6,006,734.

[0030]For most known quivers, a typical arrow shaft-holding assembly extends outwardly from a base plate and inclu...
