Arrow quiver assembly and frame

Abstract

A frame is provided, and a quiver assembly is attached to the frame. The frame, preferably made from aluminum, is manufactured by using an axis of extrusion that is perpendicular to the primary axis of the quiver assembly. A top portion of the quiver assembly provides blade covers with foam inserts to store, for example, expandable broadheads. The blade covers are non-circular in shape, so that broadheads can be rotated approximately ninety degrees to a secure position. The quiver also utilizes a set screw that allows a the hunter to adjust the camming force required for loading and unloading the quiver from the bow. The quiver assembly utilizes rubber posts that allow for a quiet operation, as well as a secure means of locking the quiver assembly to a bow.

1 . An arrow quiver assembly comprising:
 a frame;   a hood fixedly secured to the frame, the hood comprising a plurality of oval-shaped openings, wherein each of the plurality of oval-shaped openings receives a respective oval-shaped insert configured to receive a respective broadhead such that the blades of the broadhead are positioned substantially in line with a major axis of the oval-shaped openings and oval-shaped inserts when the respective broadhead is initially inserted into the oval-shaped insert;   wherein each respective oval-shaped insert does not exert inward pressure on the blades of the respective broadhead received in the oval-shaped insert when the blades of the broadhead are positioned substantially in line with the major axis of the oval-shaped insert, and   each respective oval-shaped insert exerts inward pressure on the blades of the respective broadhead received in the oval-shaped insert when the broadhead is rotated in the oval-shaped insert so that the blades of the broadhead are positioned substantially in line with a minor axis of the oval-shaped insert.   
     
     
         2 . An arrow quiver assembly comprising:
 a frame, the frame comprising:
 a seating surface configured to matingly engage with a first mounting post extending from a bow; and 
 a second mounting post extending from an end portion of the frame, wherein the second mounting post is configured to matingly engage with a concave surface of a camming arm on the bow; 
   wherein the camming arm comprises a set screw positioned proximate the concave surface, and
 the set screw is adjustable to allow a variable force to be utilized to matingly engage the second mounting post with the concave surface of the camming arm on the bow.
