Do you mean like this? It could be considered a spring arm quiver, kinda sorta. The arm hooks go around the bow limb, then it uses a ratcheting system to tighten the quiver up and the arms are kind of springy.

That's it! I never been able to find one, they pretty rare? Do they work well? Thanks.

They pop up every now and then. They are noisy in thier orignal state, but with a little tweeking they will quiet down. The Bear quiver is far superior, but if your wanting one to put on an old Pearson they make the set.

I had one but sold it on the trader, as I had sold the bow that it went with.
They do come up on the site that shall not be named from time to time. I have seen them on the trader a couple times also in the last couple years.
I found mine was a bit noisy if the bars were not spread far enough apart to actually bend them a bit with the tension. And it would hold 11/16 wood just fine, but the 5/16 aluminum was a bit looser than I like.

I have sevarl and like ksbowman said they are noisey i just added some foam on the hood and it dose the trick
-
thanks for the advice on quietness. i just recieved mine from Bob Gulliksen. he ships fast! this quiver is in excellent condition and looks great on my pearson stallion!
i can email pics if someone wants to post them on the forum.

Bloodyarrow you said you added foam ON the hood? I put some inside, but I still get a little bit of rattle.. is it the hood that rattles or the silver piece that locks in the ratchet system? Thanks.
-
Your foam needs to be a rather dense foam i tried regular foam the first time and it did not do much but come up with some dense and it worked great. I have had the rachet rattle but have had it come lose. you can add a little extra padding under the rachet and that will help also

Another thing to look at is your rivets that attach everything make sure they are tight if not all you have to do is use a punch and a hard object on the head side and tap the punch and it will tighten everything back up
