Field of the Invention This invention relates to archery bows used primarily as a sporting instrument, and more particularly to adjustable bow strings for such bows.
2. Discussion of the Prior Art The art of shooting the bow and arrow has become increasingly popular in later years, and accordingly many different manufacturers are participating in the manufacture of an extreme variety of different types of bows. Each different bow has a different length and a different pull and requires a string of a particular length.
It is also well known that a bow shoots an arrow much better when the bow string is the perfect length for the particular bow. In fact, two bows of exactly the same model, length and pull weight may not shoot the same with the same length of bow string due to the individual characteristics of the bow. Consequently, the archery enthusiast does not obtain the most beneficial abilities of his particular bow.
Moreover, the proprietors of sporting goods stores are forever plagued with the problem that they are not stocked with the proper string to fit a bow of unknown length.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is the principle object of the present invention to provide an adjustable bow string which eliminates the aforementioned disadvantages.
The bow string of the present invention is adjustable such that an archer can tune his particular bow to shoot at its very'best at all times. The adjustable bow string of the present invention comprises a bow string having a loop at one end for receiving a bow limb and an elongated loop at the other end to receive the other limb end of a bow. An adjusting fixturereceives a predetermined number of wraps or turns of the elongated loop of the bow string in order to shorten the bow string a predetermined desirable length and then terminates from the adjusting fixture intermediateits end such that a remaining portion of the elongated loop remains to be received around the bow limb end such that the adjusting fixture is held tightly against the back side of the bow limb when the bow is strung.
A slidable sleeve is preferably provided over the remaining portion of the exposed elongated loop such that it may be slid up and down in order to adjust the open length of the elongated loop which remains exposed from the termination point of the adjusting fixture.
Unlike the conventional bow string, the termination loops, and particularly the aforesaid elongated adjustv able loop, comprisesa soft flexible material which will easily flex such that it may be readily wrapped about the adjusting fixture.
The adjustable bow string of the present invention is further preferably comprised of a plurality of endless string loops bound together to form the aforesaid loop ends thereby providing a decidedly stronger bow string. These endless strings are typically bound together with any conventional type serving or whipping, and particularly adjacent the loop ends and in the middle of the string where the arrow notch is received.
The adjusting fixture preferably consists of a small body or member having a notch atone end to receive the end of the aforesaid elongated loop which is wrapped around the main body or barrel of the adjusting fixture to the extent desired in order to achieve the proper bow string length and then the remaining portion of the elongated loop is passed through an opening or anchor hole in the body intermediate the ends thereof and then slipped over the bow limb end such that it rests in the notches at the end of the bow as typically provided. In order to eliminate the need for passing the elongated loop end through the lattermentioned opening intermediate the ends of the adjusting body, an entrance slot may be provided through the body to provide exterior access so that the elongated loop of the bow string end may be passedthrough the slot directly to theanchor hole through the adjusting body.
Although the entrance slot previously mentioned in regard to the anchor hole is preferable, it is not necessary that it be provided as the end of the elongated loop may be passed through the anchor hole and then wrapped around the barrel or body of the adjusting fixture and its terminal loop end slipped in the firstmentioned slot at the end of the adjusting fixture.
The fact that the anchor hole in the adjusting fixture is intermediate the ends thereof permits the fixture to lie flat against the bow limb end when the bow is strung as the adjusting fixture extends on both sides of the anchor hole thereby requiring it to lay flat or snug against the bow limb end on the opposite side thereof from which the bow string extends to receive the notched end of an arrow.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Other objects and advantages appear in the following description and claims.
The accompanying drawings show, for the purpose of exemplification without limiting the invention or the claims thereto, certain practical embodiments illustrating the principles of this invention wherein:
FIG. 1 is a view in side elevation of a strung bow utilizing the adjustable bow string of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is an enlarged section view of the elongated bow string loop end of the adjustable bow string of the present invention as illustrated in FIG. 1 in its unwrapped state.
FIG. 3 is an enlarged plan view of the adjusting fixture utilized in the adjustable bow string of the present invention as illustrated in FIG. 1.
FIG. 4a is an enlarged'section view in front elevation of the adjusting fixture illustrated in FIG. 3 with the elongated soft flexible-termination bow string loop of FIG. I wrapped thereabout as seen in the direction indicated by arrow A in FIG. 1.
FIG. 4b is a view in side elevation of the bow limb end with the adjusting fixture illustrated in FIG. 4a.
FIG. 4c is a view in rear elevation illustrating the reverse side of the bow limb with the adjusting fixture attached thereto in FIG. 4a.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring to FIG. 1, the bow 1 is illustrated in its strung position such that the bow string 2 is taut and secured about bow limb ends 3 and 4 respectively. Each of the bow limb ends 3 and 4 are provided with the conventional notches 5 (as best illustrated in FIGS. 4a through 40) in order to receive the respective loop ends of the bow string 2.
At the bottom of FIG. 1, the adjusting fixture 6 (as illustrated in detail in FIG. 3) is illustrated such that it is positioned on the reverse side of the bow 1 from the portion of the bow string 2 which extends toward the center 7 thereof in and about the area where the notch of the arrow is received. It will also be noted that the adjusting fixture 6 is securely retained against the bow limb end 3 by means of a rubber band 7 which serves to retain the adjusting fixture 6 together with the bow string end to be wrapped therearound when the bow string 2 is not strung or is in its unstrung position.
In FIG. 2, elongated soft flexible bow string end 8 is illustrated which will eventually be wrapped around the adjusting fixture 6 illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 3 such that the remaining portion of the elongated loop 8 encompasses the bow limb end 3 and is received in the notches 5 thereof as illustrated best in FIGS. 4a and 4c.
Elongated bow string loop end 8 is provided with a slidable sleeve 9 in order to adjust the open extent of the loop 8 which remains after encompassing the bow limb end 3, to a desired length as illustrated best in FIGS. 4b and 40. In other words, the slidable sleeve 9 may be slid vertically in order to reduce the opening of loop 8. This slidable sleeve 9 is preferably made of a flexible plastic.
As previously discussed, the bow string 2 is preferably made of a plurality of endless strings which are bound together by servings or wrappings 10 illustrated best in FIGS. 1 and 2. The flexible elongated loop 8 is then preferably provided by a flexible soft braid 11 about the ends of the plurality of endless strings.
Referring again to FIG. 3, the adjusting fixture 6 is preferably made of one piece. The substance of the fixture is preferably plastic, and as illustrated, it is provided with rounded edges which contact the bow string in order to provide long bow string life.
Referring to the adjusting fixture 6, it is provided with an elongated adjusting barrel 12 about which the elongated flexible bow string loop end 8 is wrapped as best illustrated in FIGS. 4a through 40.
From these figures, it may be seen that the long adjustable loop end 8 is first inserted in the starting hole 13 of the adjusting fixture 6 which is adjacent one end thereof, and is then wound about the adjusting barrel 12 of the adjusting fixture 6 a desired number of turns until the adjustable elongated loop 8 has been shortened to the desirable length at which time both line halves of the flexible loop 8 are passed through the en- 'trance slot 14 into anchor hole 15 and the remaining portion of the elongated loop 8 is then passed over the end of the bow limb 3 such that the opposed strands of the loop 8 lie snugly in slots 5. The adjustable or slidable sleeve may then be snugged up toward the slots 5 in order to decrease the remaining open portion of the loop 8 which extends past the bow limb end 3.
When the bow string 2 is thereafter pulled or made taut in the direction as indicated in FIG. 4b, such as when the bow l is strung as illustrated in FIG. 1, the adjusting fixture 6 is drawn tightly against the reverse side of the bow limb end 3 as illustrated in FIG. 4b. The adjusting fixture 6 will retain this position due to the fact that the anchor hole is provided intermediate the ends of the adjusting fixture 6 such that it extends on both sides thereof thereby preventing the adjusting fixture from tipping and maintaining it in a flat position against the bow limb 3 at all times when tension is applied to the bow string 2. In other words, the adjusting fixture 6 is provided with extensions 16 which prevent the fixture from tipping when the elongated loop 8 passing through anchor hole 15 is pulled taut.
As previously mentioned, in order to maintain the adjusting fixture 6 against the bow limb for storage when the bow is in its unstrung state, a large rubber band 7 may be placed around the bow limb end 3 and fixture 6 as illustrated in FIG. 1.
