Definitions

  • the invention relates to a crossbow with a shaft, wherein a firing direction of an arrow or bolt is parallel to a central longitudinal axis of the shaft, and a bow attached to the shaft and a bow connecting the bow ends, the tendon is attached directly to the bow ends and before the stretching of the bow extends straight between the bow ends.
  • US5720268 A describes a crossbow having a shaft with a firing direction of an arrow or bolt parallel to a central longitudinal axis of the shaft and a bow attached to the shaft and a bow connecting the bow ends, the string extending straight between the bow ends prior to cocking the crossbow wherein the arch has a substantially rigid bridge connected to the shaft and two elastic limbs. However, the tendon is not attached directly to the bow ends in this crossbow.
  • the invention thus relates to a so-called Matcharmbrust, which is specified by a sports regulations, that the tendon is attached directly to the bow ends. It follows inevitably that the string extends straight before clamping the sheet between the bow ends.
  • compound crossbows but in which the tendon over pulleys at the ends of the bow attacks, so that in compound crossbows completely different and matchbar breasts not comparable lifting and force relationships in terms of bow and tendon are present.
  • the invention thus deals exclusively with so-called matcharm breasts, in which the tendon connects the bow ends with each other, is attached directly to the bow ends and extending straight before clamping the crossbow between the bow ends.
  • a generic crossbow is to be improved with respect to their shooting behavior.
  • a crossbow with a shaft wherein a firing direction of an arrow or arc is parallel to a central longitudinal axis of the shaft, and provided on the shaft bow and a bow connecting the bow ends provided, the tendon is attached directly to the bow ends and extends in a straight line between the bow ends before tightening the bow
  • the bow has a connected to the shaft, substantially rigid bridge and two elastic limbs, wherein at each free end of the bridge in each case a limb is attached, the limbs at least in the area their attachment to the free ends of the bridge at an angle between 20 ° and 50 °, in particular between 35 ° and 40 °, are arranged to the central longitudinal axis of the shaft and wherein the limbs in the straight state of the chord at an angle between 20 ° and 50 ° , in particular between 35 ° and 40 °, arranged to the central longitudinal axis of the shaft are.
  • the tendon when releasing the shot in the initial phase undergoes the highest acceleration, with limbs by their special arrangement according to the invention symmetrically to the left and right and, in contrast to conventional crossbows, only slightly forward move.
  • the vibrations are almost canceled out by the movement of the arc in the middle, that is, on the shaft of the crossbow. Since the maximum acceleration of the bolt or bullet occurs in the initial phase of the shot by the arrangement according to the invention, the bolt has already left the guideway of the shaft and thus the shaft itself, as the limbs continue to move forward in the course of their relaxation and their final position to reach.
  • the bolt has already left the guideway of the shaft before the limbs reach the end position.
  • vibrations during the weft development ie from the release of the shot until the bolt leaves the guideway of the shaft, can be reduced by about 50% compared to conventional crossbows.
  • the crossbow according to the invention thereby makes it possible to deliver much more precise shots.
  • the arch of the crossbow is not completely relaxed, since the tendon is still pulled into its rectilinear shape.
  • the limbs can thereby still be slightly curved, yet they extend over their entire length in the angle according to the invention, or within the angular range according to the invention, in particular within an angular range of 5 °. If the limbs are arranged on the bridge, for example, at an angle of 35 °, the limbs extend over their entire length in an angular range between 30 ° and 35 ° to the central longitudinal axis.
  • the advantages of the invention are realized in a special way, that is, a movement of the limbs after the triggering of the shot is substantially laterally and stronger vibrations when reaching the final position of the limbs only occur when the bolt Guideway of the shaft has already left.
  • the limbs in the relaxed state are substantially rectilinear.
  • the relaxed state of the limbs is meant a state in which the limbs are completely relaxed, so no force is applied to the bow ends by the tendon.
  • Such a design of the limbs facilitates their production, for example, carbon fiber material.
  • a thickness of the limbs reduced from the area of attachment to the bridge to the bow end.
  • the bridge is designed as a curved carrier, wherein a concave side of the carrier has in the firing direction.
  • the carrier is provided with extending perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the shaft lightening holes.
  • a cross-section of the carrier from the shaft decreases in the direction of the limbs.
  • an elastic intermediate layer in particular a damping foil, is arranged between the limbs and the free ends of the carrier.
  • the limbs are formed of carbon material.
  • a crossbow 10 is shown, which is designed as a so-called Matcharmbrust.
  • a so-called match crossbow must be in accordance with the rules applicable to matcharm breasts have a bow 12, at the ends of a tendon 14 is attached directly.
  • compound crossbows according to the rules for Matcharm breasts is not allowed to attach 12 pulleys at the ends of the sheet and then to guide the tendon on these pulleys.
  • the sheet 12 is mounted on a shaft 16 shown only schematically.
  • the shaft 16 has a guide rail, not shown, for a bolt, also not shown.
  • a bolt also not shown.
  • the locking of the tendon 14 on the shaft 16 is released via a trigger mechanism, also not shown, and the bolt is accelerated by means of the tendon 14 along the track on the shaft 16 and leaves the shaft 16 in the longitudinal direction, in Fig. 1 So in a direction to the top left.
  • the bow 12 has two limbs 18, 20.
  • the limbs 18, 20 are identical to each other. With a first end, the limbs 18, 20 are attached to a bridge 22, which in turn is centrally connected to the shaft 16. At their respective free end, the limbs 18, 20 are connected to the tendon 14.
  • the bridge 22, in contrast to the limbs 18, 20 is substantially rigid and consists of a metal support which is provided at its two ends with receptacles 26 for the limbs.
  • the receptacles 26 are adapted to the cross section of the limbs 18, 20.
  • a cross section of the bridge 22 is reduced from the shaft 16 in the direction of the receptacles 26 to. This cross-sectional reduction is achieved in that a width of the bridge 22 decreases towards the receptacles, a height of the bridge 22, however, remains unchanged.
  • the width of the bridge 22 is measured parallel to the central longitudinal axis 32 of the shaft 16.
  • the bridge 22 is also provided with holes 28, wherein a diameter of the holes from the shaft 16 in the direction of the receptacles 26 decreases towards.
  • the bridge 22 is connected by bolts with the shaft 16. In its center, the bridge 22 has a circular cylinder section-shaped guide 30, which forms part of a guideway for a bolt.
  • Fig. 2 shows the crossbow 10 of the Fig. 1 from above. From this perspective, it can be clearly seen that the bridge 22 is formed as a curved support whose concave side in the launching direction, in Fig. 2 So up, shows.
  • the limbs 18, 20 have a decreasing thickness, with a respective thicker end connected to the seats 26 at the free ends of the bridge 22 and the thickness towards the free end of the limbs 18, 20 decreased.
  • the limbs are advantageously made of carbon material.
  • limbs 18 in the unstressed state of the crossbow is shown to be substantially rectilinear.
  • the limbs 18, 20 are located in the in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 illustrated unstressed state of the crossbow while not completely relaxed state, since the tendon 14 is slightly stretched and runs straight. Nevertheless, the limbs 18, 20 are substantially rectilinear. It is within the scope of the invention, however, quite possible to provide a certain curvature of the limbs 18, 20 in the unstressed state of the crossbow.
  • the limbs 18, 20 are arranged to a central longitudinal axis 32 of the shaft 16 at an angle ⁇ , which is about 40 ° in the illustrated embodiment.
  • This angle ⁇ can according to the invention be between 20 ° and 50 ° and in particular between 35 ° and 40 ° to the central longitudinal axis 32 of the shaft.
  • Fig. 3 schematically the arc 12 with the limbs 18, 20 and the bridge 22 is shown. With solid lines of the unstressed state of the sheet 12 is shown, as he also with reference to Fig. 1 and 2 was explained.
  • the limbs 18, 20 are substantially rectilinear in the unstressed state of the crossbow, and also the chord 14 runs in a straight line in the unstressed state of the crossbow and connects the two free ends of the limbs 18, 20.
  • Fig. 3 In addition, two further states of the sheet 12 are shown. In dashed lines, an intermediate state of the arms 18, 20 and the tendon 14 is shown and in dash-dotted lines, the fully tensioned state of the limbs 18, 20 and the tendon 14 is shown.
  • the bridge 22 is, as stated, substantially rigid and therefore does not change its position even with fully stretched crossbow.
