Abstract:
A high impact strength lighted nock assembly for an arrow that is activated when the arrow is fired with a bowstring. The lighted nock assembly includes a nock molded from a high impact strength, transparent polymeric material containing at least 10% by weight reinforcing fibers. The nock includes a head configured to engage with the bowstring and a shank configured to couple with a rear end of the arrow. The shank includes a recess extending in a distal end of the shank toward the head. A light assembly including a light emitting device is located in the recess in the shank that is electrically coupled to a battery. A switch is electrically coupled to the light emitting device and the battery that is triggered when the arrow is fired to activate the light emitting device.

Claim (Index 13):
A method of assembling a lighted arrow comprising the steps of:\n inserting a distal portion of a bushing in a rear end of a shaft, the bushing comprising a center opening; molding a nock from a transparent or semi-transparent, high impact strength polymeric material, the nock comprising a head configured to engage with the bowstring and a shank configured to couple with the center opening of the bushing; attaching a light emitting device of a light assembly to the shank of the nock, the light assembly comprising a battery mechanically coupled to the light emitting device, wherein displacing the light emitting device toward the battery activates the light emitting device and displacing the light emitting device away from the battery deactivates the light emitting device; attaching a battery stop to the battery at a location offset from the nock; inserting the battery stop, the light assembly, and the nock into the center opening in the bushing so the shank is mechanically coupled within the center opening and the battery stop releasably couples with the bushing to resist longitudinal translation of the battery relative to the bushing; and translating the nock within the center opening of the bushing between an activated configuration that activates the light emitting device and a deactivated configuration that deactivates the light emitting device without removing the light assembly from the bushing.
