Example

[0082] Referring to FIG. 1, an archery bow, generally shown at 10, includes a handle or riser 12, a grip 14, and limb pockets 16, 18 secured to the riser 12. Although a compound bow is shown in FIG. 1, it is contemplated that the following description is equally applicable to other bows including, but not limited to, cross bows and recurve bows. The bow 10 includes a pair of upper limbs 20, 22 extending between the limb pocket 16 and a rotating member or wheel 24. A pair of lower limbs 26, 28 extends between the limb pocket 18 and a rotating member or cam 30. The wheel 24 and the cam 30 are each rotatably mounted on a respective axle shaft 32, 34. The axle shaft 32 extends between the upper limbs 20, 22, and the axle shaft 34 extends between the lower limbs 26, 28.

[0083] A string 36 extends from a distal end 38 of the upper limbs 20, 22 to a distal end 40 of the lower limbs 26, 28. More specifically, one end of the string 36 extends around the wheel 24 and the other end of the stri...

Abstract

A suspension system is provided for dampening vibrational energy and noise in an archery bow. The suspension system includes an axle shaft. A rotating member is rotatably coupled to the axle shaft and defines a string groove. A string partially extends along the string groove. The string has an over molded portion contacting the string groove for decoupling the string from the string groove to dampen vibrational energy and noise generated during each shot of the archery bow.
