Apparatus for mounting accessory to archery bow

An adjustable stabilizer assembly for an archery bow, comprising:

• a first coupling member having a first longitudinal axis;
• a first threaded system for securing the first coupling member to a handle of an archery bow, said first threaded system being arranged to allow said first coupling member to be adjusted about said first longitudinal axis when loosened, and to fix said first coupling member against rotation about said first longitudinal axis when tightened;
• a second coupling member having a second longitudinal axis;
• a second threaded system for securing said first and second coupling members together, said second threaded system being arranged to allow said first and second coupling members to be adjusted about an axis perpendicular to said first and second longitudinal axes when loosened, and to fix said first and second coupling members together when tightened;
• and
• an elongated stabilizer secured to said second coupling member and extending along said second longitudinal axis;
• wherein a projection extends from one of said first and second coupling members into a slot formed between two side portions of the other of said first and second coupling members, said second threaded system extends through aligned bores in said projection and said side portions, and said second threaded system is arranged to cause said two side portions to squeeze against said projection to fix said first and second coupling members against rotation relative to each other when tightened;
• wherein said second threaded system comprises male and female threaded members inserted into said aligned bores from opposite sides;
• wherein said aligned bores in said side portions comprise countersunk bores to allow heads of said threaded members to be at least partially contained within respective outer profiles of the side portions;
• and
• further comprising a first rotation preventing structure formed in an outer surface of said female threaded member, and a second rotation preventing structure formed in one of the side portions, said first and second rotation preventing structures cooperating to maintain said female threaded member in a fixed angular position relative to said one side portion.

An archery bow, comprising:

• a bow handle having a threaded bore in a front side thereof;
• an elongated stabilizer for balancing and stabilizing the bow;
• and
• an adjustable apparatus for mounting the stabilizer to the front side of the bow and allowing the stabilizer to be angularly adjusted in a side-to-side direction and in an up-and-down direction to a selected position in front of the bow to balance and stabilize the bow, said apparatus comprising:
• a first coupling member having a first longitudinal axis;
• a first threaded system for securing the first coupling member to the threaded bore in the front side of the handle, said first threaded system being arranged to allow said first coupling member to be adjusted about said first longitudinal axis when loosened, and to fix said first coupling member against rotation about said first longitudinal axis when tightened;
• a second coupling member having a second longitudinal axis;
• a second threaded system for securing said first and second coupling members together, said second threaded system being arranged to allow said first and second coupling members to be adjusted about an axis perpendicular to said first and second longitudinal axes when loosened, and to fix said first and second coupling members together when tightened;
• and
• said elongated stabilizer secured to said second coupling member and extending along said second longitudinal axis;
• wherein a projection extends from one of said first and second coupling members into a slot formed between two side portions of the other of said first and second coupling members, said second threaded system extends through aligned bores in said projection and said side portions, and said second threaded system is arranged to cause said two side portions to squeeze against said projection to fix said first and second coupling members against rotation relative to each other when tightened;
• wherein said second threaded system comprises male and female threaded members inserted into said aligned bores from opposite sides;
• wherein said aligned bores in said side portions comprise countersunk bores to allow heads of said threaded members to be at least partially contained within respective outer profiles of the side portions;
• and
• further comprising a first rotation preventing structure formed in an outer surface of said female threaded member, and a second rotation preventing structure formed in one of the side portions, said first and second rotation preventing structures cooperating to maintain said female threaded member in a fixed angular position relative to said one side portion.
