Certain embodiments of the present disclosure describe a fitting for attaching a cable to a bow. The cable attachment fitting attaches near a cam to provide an offset between the cam of the bow and a cable attached at the cable attachment fitting.
Claims20
An archery bow assembly, comprising:
- a. an archery bow limb extending to a limb tip;
- b. a rotatable element pivotally mounted to said limb tip on a pivot axis;
- c. a cable arrangement including a yoke extending from a joint toward said rotatable element, wherein said yoke includes a first cable and a second cable diverging from said joint to opposing sides of said rotatable element;
- d. at least one cable attachment fitting arranged on one side of said rotatable element, said fitting defining a guide surface spaced on an opposite side of said limb tip from said rotatable element and parallel to said rotatable element, wherein said guide surface defines a radial offset length from said pivot axis;
- and,
- e. wherein at least one of said first cable and said second cable is received on and carried by said guide surface to hold said cable away from and parallel to said rotatable element for the radial offset length of said attachment fitting.
3 more elements
An archery bow assembly comprising:
- a. a riser having opposing ends;
- b. a pair of limbs extending from one end of said riser, each limb extending to a limb tip;
- c. a rotatable element pivotally mounted between said limb tips on a pivot axis;
- d. a cable arrangement extending to said rotatable element;
- e. said cable arrangement including a yoke extending from a joint toward said rotatable element, wherein said yoke includes a first cable and a second cable diverging to opposing sides of said rotatable element;
- f. a pair of cable attachment fittings arranged on opposing sides of said rotatable element, each attachment fitting defining a guide surface spaced on an opposite side of said limb from said rotatable element and parallel to said rotatable element, wherein each guide surface defines a radial offset length from said pivot axis;
- g. each fitting defining a limb tip opening which straddles a limb tip;
- and,
- h. wherein said first cable and said second cable are received on and carried by a guide surface of a respective attachment fitting so that said cables are held away from and parallel to said rotatable element for the radial offset length of said attachment fittings.

An archery bow assembly comprising:
- a. a riser having opposing ends;
- b. at least one limb extending from an end of said riser to a limb tip;
- c. a rotatable element pivotally mounted to said limb tip on an axle defining a pivot axis;
- d. a cable arrangement extending to said rotatable element;
- e. said cable arrangement including a yoke extending from a joint toward said rotatable element, wherein said yoke includes a first cable and a second cable diverging to opposing sides of said rotatable element;
- f. first and second attachment fittings arranged on opposing sides of said rotatable element, each attachment fitting defining a radial offset length from the pivot axis;
- and,
- g. wherein the first cable and second cable extend to and contact said first and second attachment fittings at points spaced from the pivot axis by the radial offset length of each attachment fitting.
