  • Patent number: 5370104
    Abstract: A new and improved archery bow stabilizer apparatus includes a housing; a threaded connector for connecting the housing to the bow; a rigid lead weight retained in the housing; a helical spring, retained in the housing and located between a wall of the housing and the rigid weight; and a quantity of liquid oil retained in the housing. The liquid, the rigid weight, and the spring work in conjunction with each other to absorb and damp torque and vibrations from the bow when a projectile is shot. Preferably, the housing is cylindrically shaped, the rigid weight is cylindrically shaped, and the rigid weight operates in the housing as a piston in a cylinder. A portion of the damping action takes place as a portion of the damping liquid squeezes between an inner wall of the housing and an outer surface of the rigid weight when the projectile is shot. A tension-adjusting assembly is attached to an end of the housing for adjusting tension in a spring inside the housing.
