International Classification:

F41J 3/00

US Classification:

273403

Abstract:

The present disclosure relates to a portable archery target. The portable archery target includes a main target body having a geometric shape. The geometric shape has a first side and a second side. The first side has a first target zone, while the second side has a second target zone that is separate and distinct from the first target zone. At least one of the first target zone and the second target zone has a first three-dimensional animal-simulating indicia. The present disclosure also relates to a method of manufacturing a portable archery target. The method includes adding a resin into a mold cavity that defines a geometric shape of the portable archery target. The mold cavity has a first surface that defines a first target zone and a second surface that defines a second target zone. At least the first surface has a contour that provides a three-dimensional animal-simulating target. The method also includes closing the mold cavity to form a foam body and removing the foam body from the mold cavity.

US Classification:

428 16, 428 99, 29592

Abstract:

An article of manufacture can include a figurine body and a first mounting pad. The first mounting pad can include a notch located in the bottom of the first mounting pad. The first mounting pad can include a first mounting mechanism. The figurine body and the first mounting pad can be separated by a guide groove. Upon removal of the first mounting pad from the figurine body at at least the guide groove, an opening is exposed to form a second mounting mechanism.

Appl. No.:

9/314100

Inventors:

John R. Rinehart - Milton WI

Assignee:

Rinehart Family Company - Janesville WI

International Classification:

F41J 300

US Classification:

273403

Abstract:

An archery target includes a target body section having a target section aperture formed therein and a replaceable target section adapted to fit in the target section aperture. The replaceable target section is held in place in the target section aperture by one or more support rods extending through support rod apertures formed in the body section and the replaceable target section. The support rods may also extend into other target body sections, to hold the target body sections together to form a structurally stable archery target. A replaceable target insert may be positioned in a target insert aperture formed in the replaceable target section. The replaceable target insert may be held in place in the replaceable target section by a support rod extending therethrough. The archery target is easily disassembled by removing the support rods to remove the replaceable target insert and/or replaceable target section therefrom to replace the replaceable target section and/or target insert when it becomes excessively damaged due to arrow strikes. Thus, the life of the archery target is extended, and the operating cost thereof reduced, by providing for replacement of portions of the archery target which are likely to become more damaged than other portions of the archery target.

Filed:

Apr 23, 1987

Appl. No.:

7/041604

Inventors:

John R. Rinehart - Janesville WI

Assignee:

American Institute of Taxidermy, Inc. - Janesville WI

International Classification:

A47G 106

US Classification:

40160

Abstract:

A cured animal foot for mounting to a plaque includes an animal foot comprised of skin, bone, and flesh, having a lower portion with digits and an upper portion which at an upper end thereof has been cut from a leg of an animal, the upper and lower portions being joined at about a 90. degree. angle at the wrist joint. The cured animal foot further includes a semi-stiff wire inserted longitudinally into the animal foot and extending into both the upper and lower portions of the animal foot. While the animal foot is still fresh, it is bent at the wrist to the desired angle and held thereat by the bent wire while the foot is cured in the bent configuration in a curing bath. The invention is carried out by providing a fresh animal foot and a semi-stiff wire, inserting the semi-stiff wire longitudinally into the foot so that the wire extends into both the upper and lower portions of the foot. The foot is then bent at the wrist to the selected angle. The semi-stiff wire maintians this selected angle between the lower and upper portions of the foot.

Appl. No.:

8/618627

Inventors:

John R. Rinehart - Milton WI

Assignee:

American Institute of Taxidermy, Inc. - Janesville WI

International Classification:

B29C 4412
B29C 4418

US Classification:

264 464

Abstract:

A protective and release coating is applied to the front portion of an artificial eyepiece before it is placed in a mold to form a taxidermy animal head mannikin. The protective and release coating is preferably a latex material that protects the front surface of the glass or plastic artificial eyepiece from scratching or other damage while being placed in a mannikin mold. The mannikin mold defines a cavity surface contoured for correct anatomical features of the animal head mannikin, including the features immediately surrounding the eye. Eye socket recesses in the cavity surface are shaped to snugly receive the front portions of the eyepieces. Indicia ridges or locator sockets may be located around or in the eye socket recesses, to facilitate the proper orientation of artificial eyepieces within the eye sockets. The latex protective and release coating is preferably applied by spraying onto the front portion of the artificial eyepiece and allowed to set to form a cross-linked polymer coating before the eyepiece is positioned in the mold cavity eye socket. An adhesive may also be used to help hold the coated eyepiece in the mold eye socket.
