Abstract: A crossbow includes a stock, a riser mounted to the stock, left upper and lower mounting brackets attached to the riser, right upper and lower mounting brackets attached to the riser, and cam assemblies respectively mounted to proximal ends of the upper and lower mounting brackets. The crossbow includes first and second limbs respectively attached to distal ends of the left and right upper and lower sides of the riser. A draw string extends between the first and second cam assemblies over the stock and is wrapped around outer surfaces of the cam assemblies. The crossbow includes power cables crossing inside of the stock to form a crossing pattern and traverse a centerline of the stock. The power cables respectively wrap around the cam assemblies through helical take-up journal assemblies extending below each cam assembly, and the power cables respectively connect to opposing limbs at distal ends of the limbs.

Abstract: A mobile device holder comprises a base having an inner side to be affixed to the mobile device. A hub is carried by the base and is rotatable on the base about a rotational axis. A rotational bearing rotatably couples the hub to the base. A ring is carried by the hub and is pivotally coupled to the hub about a pivot axis that is orthogonal to the rotational axis. The ring is rotatable along with the hub on the base. In addition, the ring is pivotable with respect to the hub between at least a retracted position circumscribing the hub, and a deployed position extending at an acute angle with respect to the hub. The hub has an exterior side with indicia thereon.

Abstract: Apparatuses and structures for dampening vibrational energy from a system are disclosed. Particularly, at least one dampening member including an elongated body comprising a resilient, pliable material may be coupled to the base via at least one coupling structure structured for coupling at least a portion of the elongated body of the at least one dampening member to the dampening apparatus. Such a structure or dampening apparatus may be incorporated or attached to an archery system. Specifically, an archery system or an archery accessory component (e.g., a quiver or sight) may include at least one dampening member including a elongated body comprising a resilient, pliable material and at least one coupling structure structured for accepting at least a portion of the elongated body of the at least one dampening member so as to couple the at least one dampening member to the archery bow or component thereof.

Abstract: A pulley arrangement for a compound archery bow (100) that combines the forgiveness and symmetry of a “dual cam” system with the positive draw stop (hard wall), enforced synchronization (or built-in timing) between opposite pulley assemblies, and high let-off associated with “single cam” systems. The pulley rigging (112) includes only a single cable reference anchor to a limb (104, 106). Certain pulleys (108, 110) include rotating module portions (183, 214) effective to change the wrapped lengths of power and control cables (270, 272) to change draw length (LD) while the bow (100) is strung, and at a brace condition with the drawstring (116) under full tension, and without changing the timing of the pulley members (108, 110), or changing the lengths of rigging members (112). Certain embodiments include a resilient element (196) in a positive draw stop (194) to reduce noise as the draw stop (194) engages a rigging element (270).
