Archery quiver assembly

Abstract

This quiver assembly comprises an archery quiver and a mounting member which attaches to the quiver. The mounting member provides an improved archery assembly that has a quick detach mounting system. The archery quiver assembly includes the following features: quick detach mounting system, one vertical and two angled locking positions, vertically adjustable, accepts mechanical or fixed broadheads, grips aluminum or carbon arrows, and ultra quiet design. The design assembly also includes a unique arrow gripper.

1 . A quiver assembly comprising:
 a quiver for holding a plurality of arrows;   a mounting member attached to the quiver for mounting the quiver to a third structure;   wherein the mounting member comprises a first structure for quickly coupling and decoupling the mounting member to the third structure; and   wherein the mounting member further comprises a second structure for holding the quiver in at least one locking position.   
   
   
       2 . A quiver assembly according to  claim 1  wherein the mounting member further comprises an arrangement forming a tool-free operation. 
   
   
       3 . A quiver assembly according to  claim 1  wherein the quiver further comprises a vertical shaft and the vertical shaft further comprises a vertical bracket with a pair of vertical rails for engaging the mounting member. 
   
   
       4 . A quiver assembly according to  claim 3  wherein the mounting member further comprises a mounting bracket, a locking block, a pivot, a first lever and a second lever co-operating to engage the quiver and the third structure. 
   
   
       5 . A quiver assembly according to  claim 4  wherein the lock block slidably engages the vertical rails of the vertical bracket. 
   
   
       6 . A quiver assembly according to  claim 4  wherein the pivot rotatably engages the vertical bracket, and the first lever engages the pivot for holding the quiver in the at least one locking position. 
   
   
       7 . A quiver assembly according to  claim 4  wherein the second lever engages the locking block for coupling and decoupling the locking block to the bracket attached to the third structure. 
   
   
       8 . A quiver assembly according to  claim 1  further comprising an arrow gripper attached to the quiver. 
   
   
       9 . A quiver assembly according to  claim 8  wherein the arrow gripper cap for attaching the gripper to the quiver. 
   
   
       10 . A quiver assembly according to  claim 8  wherein the arrow gripper further comprises an elastomeric material having plurality of orifices therein wherein each of the orifices have a slot communicating with an exterior surface of the gripper. 
   
   
       11 . A quiver assembly according to  claim 1  wherein the structure is a bow, hip belt, tree stand, tree or tree branch. 
   
   
       12 . A quiver assembly according to  claim 1  wherein the structure is a bow. 
   
   
       13 . A quiver assembly according to  claim 4  wherein the first lever and the second lever of the mounting member each have an actuator portion adapted for human fingers to facilitate coupling and decoupling and to facilitate holding the locking position. 
   
   
       14 . A quiver assembly according to  claim 13  wherein the actuator portion adapted for human fingers further comprises thumb tabs. 
   
   
       15 . A quiver assembly according to  claim 13  wherein the actuator portion has a tear drop shape. 
   
   
       16 . A quiver assembly according to  claim 1  wherein the second structure for holding the quiver in at least on locking position is operable to generate a resisting force sufficient to hold the quiver in position and to resist inadvertent movement. 
   
   
       17 . A quiver assembly according to  claim 1  wherein the at least one locking position further comprises one vertical position and two angled locking position. 
   
   
       18 . A quiver assembly according to  claim 9  wherein the vertical shaft of the quiver has a bottom and the bottom further comprises a plurality of pins engaging the gripper cap for attaching the gripper to the quiver. 
   
   
       19 . A quiver assembly according to  claim 1  wherein the mounting member is a tool free structure. 
   
   
       20 . A quiver assembly according to  claim 19  wherein the mounting member further comprises a pivot and cam lock. 
   
   
       21 . A quiver assembly according to  claim 10  wherein the arrow gripper is configured to secure a plurality of arrows having different shaft diameters.
