Abstract
An archery bow and a limb system for an archery bow includes a distal end piece, a proximal end piece, and a modular working section. The modular working section includes one or more replaceable working section members coupled to the distal end piece and the proximal end piece. The limb system includes working section members comprising various cross-sectional shapes and sizes. The limb system includes various manners of attaching the working section members to the distal end piece and the proximal end piece. The limb system also includes a limb connection system for attaching the working section members directly to the handle riser of an archery bow.
Claims21
A limb system for an archery bow, comprising:
- a proximal end piece attachable to a handle riser of an archery bow;
- a distal end piece, the distal end piece being configured to receive an axle and eccentric wheel;
- and
- a modular working section removably secured to each of the proximal end piece and the distal end piece.
A limb system for an archery bow, comprising:
- a proximal end piece attachable to a handle riser of an archery bow;
- a distal end piece configured for attaching a bow string thereto;
- a modular working section removably secured between the proximal end piece and the distal end piece;
- and
- wherein the modular working section includes a replaceable working section member, the replaceable working section member being at least partially hollow and filled at least partially with liquid.
A limb system for an archery bow, comprising:
- a proximal end piece attachable to a handle riser of an archery bow;
- a distal end piece configured for attaching a bow string thereto;
- and
- a modular working section removably secured between to each of the proximal end piece and the distal end piece;
- wherein the modular working section comprises multiple, spaced, replaceable working section members,
- the respective working section members being cross-sectionally tapered in all sectional directions from one end to another to provide differing resistances to bending at various points along the respective lengths of the working section members.
A limb system for an archery bow, comprising:
- a proximal end piece securable to a handle riser of an archery bow, the proximal end piece having at least one cavity;
- a distal end piece;
- a modular working section including at least two working section members having respective proximal and distal ends, the proximal ends of the working sections being insertable into the at least one cavity to connect the respective proximal ends of the working section members to the proximal end piece, the distal ends of the working section members being insertable into and mountable within the distal end piece;
- and
- means for connecting a bow string to the distal end piece.
An archery bow, comprising:
- an elongated handle riser having opposing longitudinal ends, at least one of the ends having at least one longitudinally elongated opening formed longitudinally therein;
- opposing bow limbs coupled to the handle riser, at least one of the bow limbs comprising at least one working section member having opposing longitudinal ends, one of the working section member opposing longitudinal ends being received within the handle riser longitudinal opening, said one bow limb further comprising a distal end piece, the distal end piece being configured to receive an axle and eccentric wheel and the opposing longitudinal end of the working section member;
- and
- a bow string spanning the bow limbs.
An archery bow, comprising:
- a handle riser having a limb connection system;
- opposing bow limbs coupled to the handle riser, at least one of the bow limbs comprising multiple working section members and a distal end piece, the working section members being secured to the handle riser through the limb connection system;
- a bow string coupled to the distal end piece;
- and
- wherein at least one of the working section members is a hollow, replaceable member, the replaceable member being filled at least partially with liquid.
