1. An apparatus for supporting an arrow relative to a bow, comprising:
- a mounting bracket configured for attaching to a bow;
an arrow rest coupled to said mounting bracket being movable relative thereto between a first position and a second position, said arrow rest supporting a shaft of an arrow relative thereto when said arrow rest is in said first and said second positions;
an arrow retaining member extending over said arrow rest for retaining the shaft of the arrow relative to said arrow rest when said arrow rest is in said first position; and
a linkage mechanism coupled to said arrow rest and for coupling to a cable of a bow for actuating said arrow rest upon movement of the cable of the bows.

Abstract
An arrow rest comprises an arrow rest support arm pivotally mounted to the riser of a bow. The support arm is coupled to a cable guide of the bow through linkage that causes the support arm to rise relative to the riser of the bow as the cable is drawn to launch an arrow. As the cable is released to launch an arrow, the arrow rest drops to allow the fletching to pass the arrow rest without contact. In addition, as the arrow rest moves from a first resting position to a second pre-launch position and back again, a clamping mechanism grasps the shaft of the arrow when the support arm is in the resting position. As the support arm moves to the pre-launch position, the clamping mechanism releases the shaft of the arrow so that the arrow can be freely launched from the support arm without interference from the clamping mechanism.

-
a mounting bracket configured for attaching to a bow;
an arrow rest coupled to said mounting bracket being movable relative thereto between a first position and a second position, said arrow rest supporting a shaft of an arrow relative thereto when said arrow rest is in said first and said second positions;
an arrow retaining member extending over said arrow rest for retaining the shaft of the arrow relative to said arrow rest when said arrow rest is in said first position; and
a linkage mechanism coupled to said arrow rest and for coupling to a cable of a bow for actuating said arrow rest upon movement of the cable of the bows. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. An apparatus for supporting an arrow relative to a bow, comprising:
-
a mounting structure configured for coupling to the riser of a bow;
a rotatable shaft coupled to said mounting structure;
an arrow support structure coupled to said rotatable shaft and being pivotable upon rotation of said rotatable shaft between a first position and a second position;
an arrow retaining member extending over said arrow support structure for holding the arrow relative to the arrow support structure when said arrow support structure is in said first position; and
a linkage mechanism for coupling the rotatable shaft to a cable of the bow to cause movement of said arrow support structure between said first position and said second position upon movement of the cable of the bow. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. An apparatus for supporting on arrow relative to a bow, comprising:
-
a mounting member for coupling to a bow;
an arrow rest coupled to said mounting member and being movable relative thereto between a first resting position and a second position, said arrow rest configured for supporting a shaft of an arrow relative thereto;
at least one shaft retaining member coupled to said arrow rest and extending above the shaft of the arrow when said arrow rest is in said first resting position for preventing the shaft of the arrow from falling from said arrow rest when said arrow rest is in said first resting position; and
a linkage mechanism coupled between said arrow rest and a cable of a bow for actuating said arrow rest between said first resting position and said second position. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)
