Abstract
A vibration dampener for an archery bow includes a cylindrical sleeve containing a chamber and a unitary elastomeric member arranged in the chamber. The elastomeric member is pressurized to press against an inner surface of the sleeve and absorb vibrations from the bow during execution of an archery shot. The pressure applied to the elastomeric member may be fixed or it may be adjustable through use of a compression assembly.
Claims31
A vibration dampener, comprising
- (a) a hollow cylindrical compression member having a closed end and an open end;
- (b) a base closing said compression member open end;
- (c) a cylindrical sleeve mounted on said base and arranged in said compression member, said cylindrical sleeve containing a chamber;
- and
- (d) an elastomeric member arranged in said chamber, said elastomeric member being pressurized by said compression member and said base to press against an inner surface of said sleeve, whereby vibration is absorbed by said elastomeric member.
2 more elements
A vibration dampener, comprising
- (a) a base including a coupler portion;
- (b) a cylindrical sleeve mounted on said base and containing a chamber;
- (c) an elastomeric member arranged in said chamber and connected with said coupler portion;
- and
- (d) a coupler pin having a first end connected with said coupler portion of said base, said elastomeric member being pressurized to press against an inner surface of said sleeve, whereby vibration is absorbed by said elastomeric member.
2 more elements
A vibration dampener, comprising
- (a) a base including a coupler portion;
- (b) a cylindrical sleeve mounted on said base and containing a chamber;
- (c) an elastomeric member arranged in said chamber and connected with said coupler portion, said elastomeric member being pressurized to press against an inner surface of said sleeve;
- (d) a coupler pin having a first end connected with said coupler portion of said base, said coupler pin first end having a spherical configuration to afford oscillation within said coupler portion of said base;
- and
- (e) a compression assembly to adjust the pressure applied to said elastomeric member, whereby vibration is absorbed by said elastomeric member.
3 more elements
A vibration dampener, comprising
- (a) a cylindrical sleeve containing a chamber,
- (b) an elastomeric member arranged in said chamber, and
- (c) a compression assembly to adjust a pressure applied to said elastomeric member, said compression assembly including an adjustment tube which rotates and axially compresses said elastomeric member to press said elastomeric member radially against an inner surface of said sleeve to a selected degree, whereby vibration is absorbed by said elastomeric member.
