Compound bow with torque eliminators and tension cable deflectors

In a compound bow including a frame, a pair of limbs carried by said frame, a pair of eccentric pulleys carried by said limbs and positioned adjacent the free ends thereof, a first tension cable mounted to a first one of said eccentric pulleys, a second tension cable mounted to a second one of said eccentric pulleys, and a bowstring mounted at opposite ends thereof to said eccentric pulleys, the improvement wherein said eccentric pulleys mount the bowstring and the first and second tension cables, wherein said eccentric pulleys are substantially circular in cross-section and have circumferentially disposed substantially circular symmetrically spaced grooves for receipt of mounting means whereby said bowstring and said tension cables are mounted thereto, each of said pulleys having three grooves which are substantially uniform in diameter and having four holes substantially symmetrically spaced about the margin thereof, one of which serves as a pivot to said limbs, and wherein a first passageway interconnects a first outer one of said grooves to an inner one of said grooves and wherein a second passageway interconnects a second one of said grooves to one of said holes, said passageways converging by passing substantially along the diameter of said eccentric pulleys whereby torque in said improved compound bow is reduced.
