Patent ID: 8454070

Claim:
A gripper for pulling arrows, which are composed essentially of an arrow head and an arrow shaft, wherein the arrow shaft has on the end lying opposite the arrow head a fletching for stabilizing the arrow during the flight, the gripper comprising: a handle ( 100 ), a gripper head ( 200 ) and at least three hinges ( 300 , 350 ), wherein the handle ( 100 ) and the gripper head ( 200 ) comprise two first legs ( 400 ) extending in an elongated manner, which are connected to one another via one of the three hinges defined as a first hinge ( 300 ), which has a first rotation axis aligned transversely to the elongated extension of the legs, so that two counteracting levers are provided by means of the first hinge as a first support, wherein two lever arm sections ( 410 ) act as force arm sections and consequently are arranged on the handle ( 100 ), and two lever arm sections ( 420 ) act as load arm sections and consequently are arranged on the gripper head ( 200 ), and wherein on each of the two lever arm sections ( 420 ) that are arranged on the gripper head, a gripper jaw ( 250 ) is pivoted in the interior of the gripper head ( 200 ), namely respectively by means of a second hinge ( 350 ), which has a second rotation axis transverse to the elongated extension of the legs and transverse to the first rotation axis of the first hinge, wherein each gripper law ( 250 ) has a groove-like shape with a longitudinal extension that extends substantially perpendicular to the extension of the legs ( 400 ) when the gripper is not operated, and wherein each lever arm section ( 420 ) extends from the position of the second hinge ( 350 ) carrying the gripper law ( 250 ) further in a direction of an end facing away from the handle ( 100 ), thereby defining a projection providing a further lever for pivotal movement of the gripper law ( 250 ) about the end of lever arm section ( 420 ) facing away from the handle ( 100 ).
