Abstract:
A quiver for holding arrows, said quiver comprising:(a) a plurality of arrow-holding cells, each said cell comprising a top wall having a top wall perimeter, and a bottom wall having a bottom wall perimeter, respective said cells comprising (i) a cell perimeter generally extending along a length of the cell and between said top wall perimeter and said bottom wall perimeter, (ii) at least one longitudinally-extending enclosing side wall enclosing at least a first side of the cell perimeter, and comprising greater than 90 degrees about the perimeter of the respective cell, (iii) at least one open wall defining at least a second side of the cell perimeter comprising at least about 60 degrees about the perimeter of the respective cell, and (iv) arrow holder apparatus in said cell effective to hold an arrow against unintended transverse movement; and (b) hinges connecting the cells to each other such that said cells can pivot with respect to each other about said hinges, said side walls and said hinges being configured and arranged with respect to each other such that said cells can collectively define an enclosing arrangement whereby the enclosing side walls and hinges define a generally closed container configuration enclosing said arrow holder apparatus therein, including unhinged longitudinal free edges of first and second ones of said cells in proximal relationship with respect to each other, and such that said cells can collectively pivot about said hinges thereby to bring respective ones of said enclosing side walls toward a central portion of said quiver, and to correspondingly face respective ones of said open walls outwardly from the central portion of said quiver, in a fully reversed and open container configuration of said quiver wherein (v) ones of the enclosing side walls bearing the free edges of said first and second cells are disposed in facing relationship with each other and/or (vi) the free edges are disposed closely adjacent each other.
