Benefits of technology

The cable guide system described in this patent reduces friction between the cable and the system, which helps to prevent wear and tear on the cable. Additionally, the system allows for a second cable to be extended through a separate space, minimizing interference between the two cables. The elongate rail of the system can rotate to further improve the movement of the cable. Finally, the cable guide system includes a stopper to prevent cable vibration and premature wear on the cable.

Problems solved by technology

As a moving component, the cable slide over time can wear (particularly at areas of the cable slide that contact the cables), leading to abrasion or other damage to the cables.
Moreover, the sliding movement of the cable slide along the cable guard bar can cause wear to both the cable slide and the cable guard bar, and can undesirably complicate the assembly.
Further still, the cable slide can create unwanted friction between the cable slide and the cables, and the cable slide and the cable guide rod, thereby impacting on the effectiveness at which the archer draws and releases the bowstring.

Embodiment Construction

[0033]The present invention provides a cable guide system for an archery bow. The cable guide system (also referred to herein as a cable guide when assembled) can have an elongate rail connectable to a cable guard bar of the archery bow, such that a space is formed between the elongate rail and the cable guard bar. A cable of the archery bow is extendable through the space and is moveable around the space as a bowstring of the archery bow is drawn and released.

[0034]It will be appreciated that, in one example, the cable guide can be in a kit form, such as a plurality of components that can be assembled to an archery bow having a cable guide bar, such as compound archery bow. Alternatively, the cable guide can be a component integral with the archery bow.

[0035]The space is an area in which the cable can extend through during use. The space can be created by the positioning of the elongate rail relative to the cable guard bar. The width of the space (which can be determined by the dis...

Abstract

The invention provides a cable guide system for an archery bow. The cable guide system comprises an elongate rail connectable to a cable guard bar of the archery bow, such that a space is formed between the elongate rail and the cable guard bar. A cable of the archery bow is extendable through the space and is moveable around the space as a bowstring of the archery bow is drawn and released.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The invention relates to a cable guide system and, in one form, a cable guide system for an archery bow having a cable guide bar, such as a compound archery bow, or the like.BACKGROUND ART[0002]Compound archery bows are designed to reduce the force required to hold a bowstring at a drawn position, hence allowing an archer more time to aim with less muscular stress. To achieve this, most compound archery bows use cams or elliptical wheels on one or both ends of limbs of the compound archery bow to control the draw force on a bowstring and bend the limbs as the bowstring is drawn. Typically two power cables extend from each cam or elliptical wheel towards an opposing cam or elliptical wheel. Compound archery bows typically also include a cable guard bar to hold the cables away from the path of travel of the bowstring and the arrow propelled by the bowstring as the bowstring is drawn and released.[0003]The cable guard bar can include a cable slide. The cables move ...
