Patent number: 5099819Abstract: An improved compound bow having a rigid lightweight, high strength central portion which connects the opposed inner ends of the bow limbs and includes spaced apart, centrally offset tubular risers. The riser offsetting provides a sight window which extends over the entire space intermediate the limbs. The tubular risers are preferably made of lightweight extruded material to impart strength while maintaining reduced weight and fabrication costs. The riser is affixed to the bow limbs through limb boots and the riser may carry a laterally extending suppport platform. The platform is constructed to rigidly support either a right or left handed grip, a draw cable guard and if desired an arrow rest and a target sight. The components may be of modular construction to permit the compound bow to be readily assembled into a length suitable for a right or left handed individual archer.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 1989Date of Patent: March 31, 1992Assignee: Bear Archery Inc.Inventors: Gary L. Simonds, Thomas P. Jennings

Patent number: 4693228Abstract: A crossbow includes a trigger mechanism providing positive setting or cocking and release of a drawn bowstring. As the bowstring is drawn, it is pulled rearwardly into a trigger assembly slot to momentarily rearwardly deflect and ride over a spring-urged string catch member. Deflection of the catch member in turn urges displacement of a safety element into locking engagement with a pivotal sear. A nose on the locked sear normally abuts the catch member to preclude its release of a bowstring cocked therebehind. Following manual displacement of the safety to an off position, squeezing of a trigger pivotally moves the sear nose clear of the catch member to permit the cocked bowstring to forwardly deflect and pass over the catch member as the bowstring leaves the trigger assembly and propels an arrow engaged thereby.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 1986Date of Patent: September 15, 1987Assignee: Kidde Recreation Products, Inc.Inventors: Gary Simonds, Thomas P. Jennings, Henry Gallops

Patent number: 4562824Abstract: A compound bow includes a single, integrated cam assembly supported by the bow handle and having separate, adjacent cam elements receiving string cable segments and power cable segments from the bow limb tips. All the cam elements are fixedly disposed relative one another and are mounted for arcuate displacement as a unit. The plurality of cam elements and attendant bow structure are disposed in a manner resulting in shortened limb tip travel for a given bowstring displacement. The draw length of the bow is readily altered without dismantling the bow cable components and without any tools by removing and relocating end portions of the power cables in selected ones of a plurality of retainer pockets in the cable assembly and further draw length modification is obtainable, without changing the bow peak draw weight, through interchangable power cable cams.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 1984Date of Patent: January 7, 1986Assignee: Kidde Recreation Products, Inc.Inventor: Thomas P. Jennings

Patent number: 4561413Abstract: A compound bow is provided with a hanger assembly for attaching wheels or cams and power cables to both bow limb tips and includes a pair of hanger members removably engageable with the distal portions of two split limb portions on each bow limb without the need for separate fastener members. A pair of side walls on each hanger member provide four laterally spaced apart points supporting a transverse axle adjacent each limb tip on the belly side of the limb. The axles in turn support the wheels or cams and respective ends of the power cables with the tension applied by the strung cables providing the sole force retaining each hanger assembly in place.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 1984Date of Patent: December 31, 1985Assignee: Kidde Recreation Products, Inc.Inventor: Thomas P. Jennings
