Patent ID: 11946720

Abstract:
A string-loading apparatus for a crossbow includes a reel, a crank, a locking rod, a pin and a handle. The reel includes a centric bore, an eccentric bore, and a fin extending around the centric bore. The crank includes an axial aperture and a cavity. The locking rod includes a radial protuberance. The locking rod is rotationally inserted in the axial aperture of the handle. The locking rod is insertable in the centric bore of the reel. The pin is insertable in the cavity of the crank and the eccentric bore of the reel. The handle is connected to the third section of the locking rod to allow operation of the handle to rotate the locking rod between a locking position where the protuberance is overlapped with the fin and an unlocking position where the protuberance is biased from the fin.
