Solution Overview

Problem

Existing archery stabilizer systems lack the ability to be adjusted in any plane and at any angle, limiting their adaptability and performance.

Innovation Solution

An adjustable stabilizer system comprising a bow mount member with a pivoting extension and quick release mechanism, combined with an elbow link member featuring a threaded tap and o-ring, allowing for versatile adjustments through a series of couplers and weights with o-rings, enabling precise positioning in multiple planes and angles.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a traditional fixed stabilizer system is used, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the stabilizer cannot be adjusted in any plane or at any angle, limiting adaptability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadjustability in any plane and angleVSAvoidsystem structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The stabilizer system is divided into multiple independent segments: a bow mount member with quick release mechanism, an elbow link member with pivot joint, and an adjustable stabilizer member. Each segment can be independently adjusted or repositioned, enabling the stabilizer to be configured in any plane and at any angle while maintaining manageable structural complexity through modular design

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates dynamic adjustment capabilities through threaded taps for precise positioning, pivot joints for angular adjustment, and quick release mechanisms for rapid reconfiguration. These dynamic elements allow the stabilizer to adapt to different shooting conditions and preferences without requiring complete system replacement

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Measurement precision

If a fixed stabilizer system is used, then the device is simple to operate, but it cannot provide precise positioning in multiple planes and angles

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepositioning precision in multiple planesVSAvoidadjustment complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system provides preliminary positioning features through threaded taps that allow precise angular adjustment before final tightening. The pivot joints are pre-configured with alignment features and the quick release mechanisms are pre-positioned to guide the user through precise positioning steps, making complex multi-plane adjustment more manageable and accurate

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Object-affected harmful factors

If a traditional stabilizer system is used, then the structure is stable and reliable, but it cannot reduce vibration transfer effectively due to limited adjustability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevibration transferVSAvoidadjustability for vibration control
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system allows changing of critical parameters including the angle of the elbow link member relative to the bow mount, the orientation of the stabilizer member in multiple planes, and the position of weights along the stabilizer axis. These parameter adjustments enable optimization of vibration transfer characteristics by configuring the system to counterbalance specific vibration modes and frequencies

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
