Abstract
A pendulum sight for archery bows that includes a bow mounting bracket secured to a pendulum support frame and a pendulum pivotally mounted to the pendulum support frame with a pivoting pendulum axle having two axle ends. The improvement includes providing one or more vibration/noise damping elements between moving and or contacting points of the pendulum sight to minimize or eliminate noise generated by the pendulum sight that results from vibrations created by shooting an arrow from a bow to which the pendulum sight is affixed.
Claims4
In a pendulum sight that includes a bow mounting bracket secured to a pendulum support frame and a pendulum pivotally mounted to the pendulum support frame with a pivoting pendulum axle having two axle ends;
- the improvement comprising:
- positioning each of the axle ends of the pivoting pendulum axle into one of two axle end cups secured to the pendulum support frame;
- each axle end cup having an axle receiving cavity formed therein that is partially defined by a cavity bottom surface that has an axle end contact protrusion extending into the axle receiving cavity from the center of the cavity bottom surface, the axle end contact protrusion preventing the end of the pivoting pendulum axle from contacting the cavity bottom surface;
- the two axle end cups providing vibrational damping between the axle ends and the pendulum support frame to minimize noise generated by vibrations resulting from firing an arrow.
