  • Patent number: 9377269
    Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus for mounting a sidebar to an archery bow having at least one interlocking coupling. Each interlocking coupling includes a male mating element, a female mating element, and a fastener that connects the male element to the female mating element. The male mating element has a plurality of protrusion points and is connectable to the sidebar. The female mating element has a substantially cylindrical aperture defined by a plurality of arcuate recesses and is connectable to the archery bow. The plurality of protrusion points on the male mating element engage the plurality of arcuate recesses on the female mating element to provide rotational adjustment about an axis. There may be thirty-six arcuate recesses of the female mating element. The plurality of protrusion points of the male mating element may be a factor of three.

  • Patent number: 9032947
    Abstract: The apparatus for mounting at least one dampener and/or stabilizer to an archery bow to absorb shock and vibration realized by an archer upon the release of the archery bow. The present invention provides an elongated support structure releasably connectable to the at least one dampener and/or stabilizer. A releasable fastener is connected to one end of the support structure, and the releasable fastener is releasably connectable to the archery bow such that the support structure is extendible in a cantilevered position relative to the archery bow.

  • Patent number: 8869785
    Abstract: A stop bracket apparatus for an archery bow having a cable for launching an arrow wherein said cable is moveable between a drawn position, wherein said arrow is ready to be released, and an undrawn position, wherein said arrow has already been released. The stop bracket apparatus includes a support structure that is releasably connectable to the archery bow. An energy absorbing element is connected to the support structure for absorbing residual energy in the support structure, the archery bow, and the cable when in the undrawn position. A bumper element is releasably connected to the support structure, and the bumper element is engageable with the cable when the cable is in the undrawn position for stopping the cable from advancing toward the archery bow. A weighting element may be connected to the support structure for properly weighting and absorbing energy from the archery bow.
