Abstract: A method of manufacture of footwear and the footwear comprising the steps of providing a last with an upper thereon, providing a mold insert on the bottom of the last, providing a mold having a mold cavity for a tread sole, disposing the last and upper against the mold with the mold insert disposed within the mold cavity, forming a sole in the mold cavity having a depression therein in the shape of the mold insert, providing an insole with a first portion in the shape of the depression and a second portion substantially in the shape of the sole and securing the first portion of the insole in the depression. The tread sole and insole are formed of materials preferably having different physical properties. The tread sole can include one of tongues and grooves and the insole would then have the other of tongues and grooves, said tongues and grooves mating with each other.

Abstract: A compound archery bow includes a traveling vibration dampener for dampening bowstring oscillation and the vibration dampener is mounted in an opening in a bumper stem connected to a cable saver and the cable saver and the vibration dampener move together

Abstract: The method of the present invention comprises inserting a moldable slug having a plurality of longitudinally oriented resin impregnated predominantly glass fiber filaments into a bow limb profiling mold. The mold consists of two halves, the first half containing a female cavity and a second half having a matching fitted male section. The cavity receives a pre-determined volume and weight of continuous longitudinal fibrous reinforcement material and plastic resin matrix material. Heat and pressure are applied during initial curing and the uncured end is removed. The slug is then finally cured and the slug is severed to form a right limb portion and a left limb portion.

Abstract: A safety shoe includes an upper, a steel toe, an outsole and a partial insole tuck for preventing rearward movement of the steel toe.

Abstract: A traveling bowstring vibration dampener for use in a compound bow is moveable in response to the draw and release of the bowstring.

Abstract: A crossbow includes having no let-off cams permits storage of more energy than a conventional compound crossbow.

Abstract: A cam is eccentrically journaled at one end of a compound archery bow and a pulley is journaled at the other end of the bow. A cable passes around the pulley to form a bowstring section and a second cable section, both sections forming a dual feed single cam compound bow. The amount of feed out to both ends of the bowstring is approximately the same. One embodiment of the cam provides a large radius cam groove and a smaller radius cam groove which are designed to synchronize the rate of cable feed out at both ends of the bowstring section during the drawing operation. An anchor cable is provided to tie the two limbs of the bow together during the flexing of the bow.

Abstract: Footwear including a molded shell for enveloping the wearer's foot and wherein an integral web platform is molded with the shell. The bottom of the shell and the web platform is cemented to the outsole and then the web portion is stitched to the outsole.

Abstract: A foldable archery bow has a center section and two flexible arms extending in substantially opposite directions, describing a bow plane, and a separation interface disposed in the center section and positioned to allow the bow to be separated into two separate sections. At least one latching connector is attached to a first point on one of the flexible arms, and is adapted, when the flexible arm to which it is attached is substantially flexed, to latch at a second point on the same side of the separation interface as the first point. By drawing the bow, which flexes the flexible arms, and latching the latching connector, all tension is released from the bow string or strings, and all forces thereby removed from the separation interface. The separation interface, normally fastened in a closed position, may then be unfastened and separated, allowing the bow to divide into the two separate sections forming a smaller package than in the assembled aspect.

Abstract: Improved cushioned footwear of the type in which, in the past, nails, such as heel nails, gang nails and/or heel seat nails extended into the heel area of the footwear and/or in which, in the past, such footwear included a rigid shank which extended into the heel area, is formed with an opening in the heel area. The heel plug of a cushioning element is placed in the opening. The apparatus for forming the opening is also disclosed.

Abstract: The method of the present invention comprises inserting a moldable slug having a plurality of longitudinally oriented resin impregnated predominantly glass fiber filaments into a bow limb profiling mold. The mold consists of two halves, the first half containing two female cavities and a second half having two matching fitted male sections. Each cavity receives a predetermined volume and weight of continuous longitudinal fibrous reinforcement material and plastic resin matrix material. Heat and pressure are applied during initial curing and the uncured end is removed. The slug is then finally cured.
