Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cam device of the type specified in the preamble of claim 1.
  • the cam which forms the rear arrow section, is relatively easily detachably attached to the layer-by-layer wound yarn.
  • the yarn package is additionally coated with a metal ring at a point measured by the shooter on the tendon, which is clamped in a force-fitting and form-fitting manner using suitable pliers.
  • a nocking point for picking up arrows in hunting and sports bows which consists of two essentially cylindrical shell elements with a semicircular cross section.
  • the shell elements encompass the tendon of the arch in a form-fitting manner and have two radially projecting annular projections which are arranged at a distance from one another.
  • the half-shells are fastened to the bowstring with several spools of thread, which act on extensions of the shell elements which are present next to the roots.
  • the present invention has for its object to improve the marksmanship in a device of the type mentioned.
  • the invention includes the knowledge that in the solution according to the prior art the nocking point when the arch is extended due to its extension in the longitudinal direction and also its axial flexibility - in particular when engaging in a region of the tendon which is deflected obliquely to the longitudinal direction - is no longer completely with the channel-shaped base of the cam is in mechanical contact. This creates an undesirable clamping effect of the cam at the nock point, which is associated with the occurrence of moments which impair accuracy.
  • a ball joint which consists of a joint socket receiving a ball head, enables a power transmission without problem without the formation of tilting moments even if the axes of the joint parts are at an angle to one another in the event of a load. This is possible because, even when the ball head is rotated, there is always a full-surface operative contact between a socket formed as a spherical cap and the ball head.
  • the cam of the nocking device for arrows of hunting or sports bows consists of an essentially cylindrical shaft, the end of which is turned away from the arrow is provided with a fork-shaped spherical cap having two cam wings.
  • the associated nock point consists of a ball which is attached to the bowstring in such a way that the bowstring penetrates the ball essentially in the center.
  • the ball is dimensioned so that it can be pivoted within the spherical cap.
  • the cam shaft has an axially extending blind bore and a collar at its end on the calotte side.
  • the shaft of the arrows used for shooting can be easily connected to the cam shaft of the cam by pushing it up to the collar. It is also favorable for a secure connection between the cam and arrow to design the cam shaft as a solid cylinder with a constant diameter or offset in one step.
  • the shaft of the cam is advantageously conically tapered in the direction of the arrow. At its arrow-side end, it has a cylindrical pin which is surrounded by a plurality of spring elements which form an annular space between itself and the pin, into which the arrow shaft is inserted.
  • the nocking point ball has a bore which is provided with a thread.
  • the ball can be easily screwed onto a yarn package, which is arranged in the desired position of the nock point on the bowstring. If the winding length is chosen larger than the diameter of the nocking point ball, the nocking point ball can be brought into the optimal position by simply turning it if the bow has been in use for a long time.
  • the contact pressure created by screwing on between the yarn package and ball or yarn package and tendon is favorable for secure positioning of the nocking point.
  • the bore in the ball is chamfered on both sides.
  • the nock point ball is fastened in the desired position by limiting elements arranged on the right and left of the tendon.
  • Yarn wraps are particularly suitable as delimiting elements because their sufficient elasticity means that they mechanically do not attack the bowstring and can be easily arranged close to the nock point ball.
  • the nock point ball can be composed of two substantially identical ball halves.
  • several connecting elements are arranged on the inner sides of the ball halves.
  • they consist of a pin with an associated bore of a suitable diameter.
  • the ball halves are connected by plugging them together, the Using an adhesive further improves the strength of the plug connection for the nock point ball, which is mechanically highly stressed.
  • nock point balls made of a plastic joining the two ball halves by - crowned - connecting elements designed as push buttons is particularly favorable.
  • the ball halves are easy to manufacture by injection molding and are easy to handle when they are put together.
  • the position of the ball 5 forming the nock point within the spherical cap 3 of the cam 1 shown in a schematically illustrated partial section with the bow relaxed and with the bow tensioned.
  • the spherical cap 3 is delimited on two sides by elastic cam wings 4 of the same design.
  • the Nockhoffl 4 have on their inside a locking means in the form of an inwardly facing retaining lug 18. As a result, the Nock Vietnamese-ball 5 is held in a favorable manner within the spherical cap 3 when the bow is brought into the required position by the shooter in preparation for a shot .
  • the cam 1 consists of a cylindrical shaft 2, on the end of which is opposite the arrow, the spherical cap 3 is arranged. Shaft 2 and spherical cap 3 are separated from one another by a collar 21.
  • the shaft 2 has an axial blind bore 17 in the interior.
  • the cam 1 can be attached to the arrow shaft in an axially exactly aligned manner.
  • the cam 1 is shown schematically as a partial section or longitudinal section.
  • the ball 5 used as the nocking point is shown in FIG. 5 in two different views, firstly as a view from the front and secondly as a longitudinal section along the line A ... A.
  • the ball 5 has a central through hole 10 which is provided with a chamfer 11 at both ends.
  • the bowstring is guided through the bore 10, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the bore 10 is provided with a suitable thread 9. This makes it possible in a simple manner to screw the nocking point ball 5 onto a yarn package arranged on the bowstring in the area of the desired nocking point.
  • the nocking point ball consists of two substantially identical spherical halves 6, which are formed by using a plurality of connecting elements consisting of pins 13 and correspondingly designed bores 14 and arranged on the inner sides 19 of the spherical halves 6 be put together to the nock point.
  • the pin is preferably slightly convex in cross-section, so that in cooperation with the appropriately designed bore, a snap-like snap action is created.
  • the two representations according to FIG. 6 show the divisible embodiment on the one hand in a side view and on the other in a top view of the dividing surface.
  • FIG. 7 shows, in a longitudinal section through a one-piece nock point ball 5 in schematic form, the position of the threaded bore 10 with respect to that on the bowstring 7 located yarn package 8, on which the Nock Vietnamese ball 5 has been applied by a screwing operation. Since the length of the winding 8 (if required) is chosen to be greater than the length of the bore 10, the position of the nocking point ball 5 can be adapted to the optimal firing conditions for the arrows by simple twisting, if necessary also during a competition.
  • FIG. 8 shows the view on the inside 19 of a ball half 6, into which the bowstring 7 with the corresponding yarn packages 12 has been inserted before being joined together with the other ball half.
  • the diameter of the hole created after joining is smaller than the outer diameter of the yarn package 12, so that the axial mobility of the nock point ball is blocked by the surface pressure which arises in the region of the chamfer 11.
  • the chamfer 11 advantageously serves to limit the mechanical load on the bowstring 7 in the area of the nocking point when the bow is tensioned.
  • cams 1 with differently designed cam shafts 2 are shown schematically as Partial section or side view shown.
  • the cam shaft 2 according to FIG. 9 consists of a cylindrical solid material, to which, at the end facing away from the arrow, the spherical cap 3 with its two cam wings 4, which have latching means 18, is connected via a collar 21.
  • the arrow shaft (not shown), which is formed at the end as a hollow cylinder, is pushed onto the cam shaft 2 as far as possible against the collar 21.
  • the shape of the cam shaft 2 shown in FIG. 10 is suitable for improved axial alignment between the cam 1 and the arrow.
  • the shaft 2 is conical and has at its arrow-side end a cylindrical pin 15 which is separated by an annular space 20 from a plurality of axially extending and evenly distributed spring elements 16.
  • the hollow cylindrical arrow shaft is pushed onto the pin 15 and additionally fixed by the spring elements 16.
  • the cam 1 shown in FIG. 11 as a side view has a cylindrical shaft 2 of reduced diameter, onto which a hollow cylindrical arrow shaft can be pushed as far as the section of the shaft 2 which has a larger diameter.
  • the large contact surface resulting from the reduction of the diameter is advantageous for an exact positioning of the cam 1 in the arrow shaft.
  • FIG. 12 shows a schematic front view of the cam 1 in the direction of the arrow.
  • This contact surface is smaller than the total surface of a corresponding spherical section with the same diameter.
  • the cam 1 and the cam point 5 are made of plastic, the cam in particular being made from polycarbonate (PC) and the cam point from polyoxymethylene (POM).
  • PC polycarbonate
  • POM polyoxymethylene
