Abstract
An archery bow includes a cam assembly having a component projecting or extending beyond a periphery of the cam assembly of the archery bow to enable an archer to set the archery bow upright on a support surface. For example, the component can be affixed to one or more elements of the cam assembly (e.g., a cam, a module, etc.) and can displace the cam assembly a distance from the support surface when the archery bow is disposed upright on the support surface.
Claims18
An archery bow, comprising:
- a riser having an upper portion and a lower portion;
- an upper limb coupled to the upper portion of the riser;
- a lower limb coupled to the lower portion of the riser;
- a bowstring extending between the upper limb and the lower limb;
- a cable;
- an upper cam assembly;
- and
- a lower cam assembly, comprising:
- a rotatable member rotatably coupled to the lower limb;
- and
- a component affixed to the rotatable member, the component comprising:
- a body portion protruding beyond a periphery defined by the rotatable member;
- and
- an elastomeric material coupled to the body portion, the elastomeric material forming a surface configured to contact a support surface when the archery bow is placed upright on the support surface, the body portion defining a recess configured to at least partially receive the elastomeric material.
11 more elements
An archery bow, comprising:
- a riser having a handle portion;
- a limb coupled to the riser, a surface of the limb defining a first plane;
- a bowstring;
- and
- a cam assembly, comprising:
- a rotatable member rotatably coupled to the limb, the rotatable member defining a bowstring groove;
- a first component configured to engage a cable when the bowstring is drawn by an archer;
- and
- a second component affixed to the rotatable member and wholly disposed on a first side of a second plane formed within the bowstring groove, the second component forming an engagement surface configured to contact a support surface while the archery bow is disposed upright on the support surface, the second component and the handle portion wholly disposed on opposing sides of the first plane when the archery bow is in a brace state.
6 more elements
A component for an archery bow, comprising:
- a body configured to be affixed to or integrally formed with a rotatable member of an archery bow, the body defining a portion protruding beyond a periphery defined by the rotatable member, the body having a thickness that is equal to or greater than a distance the portion protrudes beyond the periphery, the body defining a circumferential groove;
- and
- an elastomeric material at least partially received within the circumferential groove, the elastomeric material positioned to contact a support surface while the archery bow is disposed upright on the support surface.
