Patents by Inventor Kirk L. Wendelburg

Kirk L. Wendelburg has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11022399
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to an inertial dampener for archery bows. The inertial dampener has a plurality of inertial pads disposed around a grip shaft and a plate contained within a riser beam and cavity therein. The plate is surrounded by inertial pads on both the posterior and anterior sides, so as to absorb longitudinal shock forces following release of the bow string. The shaft is surrounded by an inertia sleeve pad so as to absorb lateral and vertical forces following release of the bow string.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10166107
    Abstract: A femoral stem for use in hip replacement surgery, specifically hip replacement surgery in dogs and similar animals but also inclusive to implants used in humans. More particularly, the invention is directed to a femoral stem that includes a lateral bolt or post that protrudes through the cortex or wall of bone opposite the neck of the femoral stem. The lateral bolt or post reduces the occurrence of subsidence in implanted femoral stems. The lateral bolt or post provides an anchor point on the cortex or wall of bone as opposed to relying solely on the compression of the femoral stem against the wall of the bony canal of the femur being implanted.

  • Patent number: 10126091
    Abstract: A zero torque riser for an archery bow that provides an hemispherical pivoting connection between a hand grip and a riser body by using a ball and socket connection. A spherical head is variably mounted in a spherical socket on a hand grip. The spherical head is mounted on a variable position peg on the riser body.
