Archery bow with laterally adjustable limb pocket

Abstract

In an archery bow, variations in the alignment between the limbs and the handle due to manufacturing tolerances or the preferences of an archer are accommodated with a laterally adjustable limb pocket having an elongated feature extending across the pocket. The feature permits at least a portion of the pocket to move from side to side on the handle. The feature is a ridge having a dovetail cross-section for engaging a dovetail slot in the end of the handle. Alternatively, the feature is a hole elongated in a side to side direction across the pocket. The hole receives an internally threaded bushing for locating the pocket while permitting rotation of the pocket about a pivot. For a pair of holes elongated in a side to side direction, the position of the pocket relative to the handle is controlled either by opposed setscrews or by an adjustment screw threaded into the handle.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
