Benefits of technology

[0029]The object of the invention is to eliminate bowstring oscillation and suppress vibration and noise in an archery bow following the release of an arrow. This preferred embodiment mounts to both the traditional front stabilizer hole found on every bow and the rear stabilizer hole that is becoming more common on a number of bows being manufactured today.
[0030]The device is mounted to the riser and adjusted so that the gas spring is pre-loading the elastomeric polymer component slightly against bowstring when the bow is at rest. The gas spring provides a controlled deceleration rather than an abrupt stop. This action of the gas spring saves on wear and tear of the bowstring and reduces hand shock more effectively than a solid mounted stop.

Problems solved by technology

The patent recites that this device causes bowstring vibration and attendant noise to immediately cease.

Embodiment Construction

[0037]FIG. 1 shows a device for suppressing bowstring vibrations mounted to the riser 1 in the front side 7 of riser 1. The base 11 is fastened to the riser 1 using a fastener 10. The rod 12 runs parallel to the fastener 10 and in the direction of bowstring 4. Rod 12 is sized to receive sliding member 13 which holds gas spring body 20. Sliding member 13 can rotate on rod 12 so as to center the elastomeric polymer component 30 on the bowstring 4. When adjusting the overall length of the device the elastomeric polymer component 30 should at least be set to a net fit against bowstring 4 with the gas spring piston rod 25 fully extended out of the gas spring body 20. It may also however be adjusted so that there is a slight pre-loading of force against the bowstring 4. When the desired placement of the device is reached, the set screw 14 on sliding member 13 can be tightened to prevent unwanted movement. The cable guide rod, cables, and other bow accessories are left out of the views as ...

Abstract

A gas charged spring supporting an elastomeric component and mounted to the archery bow riser. The gas charged spring applies a force against bowstring with the elastomeric component when bow is at a state of rest. Following the release of an arrow from its fully drawn position the device will decelerate the bowstring to a stop to suppress vibration and noise in the archery bow.
