Abstract
The present disclosure provides for a cam assembly, the cam assembly comprising a main cam, a shoot cam coupled to the main cam, and a charge cam coupled to the main cam, wherein the main cam, the shoot cam, and the charge cam are configured to rotate in response to an external force, and the charge cam is configured to persistently store potential energy in the cam assembly upon rotation of the charge cam a predetermined distance.
Claims20
A cam assembly, the cam assembly comprising:
- a main cam;
- a shoot cam coupled to the main cam;
- and
- a charge cam coupled to the main cam, wherein the main cam, the shoot cam, and the charge cam are configured to rotate in response to an external force, and the charge cam is configured to persistently store potential energy in the cam assembly upon rotation of the charge cam a predetermined distance.
A cam assembly for a compound bow, the cam assembly comprising:
- a main cam;
- a shoot cam coupled to the main cam;
- and
- a charge cam coupled to the main cam, wherein the cam assembly is configured to store a first amount of potential mechanical energy in response to a drawstring being pulled from a first rest position to a first fully drawn position and configured to store a second amount of potential mechanical energy in response to the drawstring being pulled from a second rest position to a second fully drawn position, the first amount being substantially equal to the second amount.
The cam assembly of 8, wherein the main cam rotates in a first direction in response to the drawstring being drawn, wherein the charge cam rotates in the first direction in response to the main cam rotating in the first direction, and wherein the shoot cam rotates in the first direction in response to the charge cam rotating in the first direction.
A compound bow, comprising:
- a first cam assembly, comprising:
- a first main cam;
- a first shoot cam coupled to the first main cam;
- and
- a first charge cam coupled to the first main cam, wherein the first cam assembly is configured to store a first amount of potential mechanical energy in response to a drawstring being pulled from a first rest position to a first fully drawn position and configured to store a second amount of potential mechanical energy in response to the drawstring being pulled from a second rest position to a second fully drawn position, the first amount being substantially equal to the second amount.
