US 9,752,843 B2 · Bow with adjustable handle

Abstract

A versatile hunting bow with a circular rotatable handle mounted on a circular frame of the riser of the bow. The riser is skeletonized and has an asymmetrical shape. The archers can rotate and adjust the orientation of the handle to their natural wrist position. The outer wall of the circular handle has a series of parallel thread cuts that match with the thread cuts on the inner wall of the circular frame of the riser. Two limbs are connected and secured to the riser through limb bolts. When limb bolts are tightened, the geometry of the riser and the arrangement of the limbs create tensions that slightly distort the shape of the riser. The distortion prevents the thread cuts from moving along each other. Thus, the handle is no longer able to rotate when the limb bolts are tightened and the handle is locked.

A bow for shooting an arrow, the arrow having a line of travel in a forward direction, said bow comprising:

a circular frame substantially perpendicular to the line of travel;
a handle rotatably mounted within said circular frame;
a first arm connected to the circular frame;
a second arm connected to the circular frame;
a string connected to said first and second arms, wherein said string when pulled causes said first and second arms to flex sufficiently to cause said circular frame to become distorted to prevent rotation of said handle;
and,
whereby said rotating handle is locked and unlocked by the distortion to the circular frame caused by the amount of tension applied to said string.
