Inertia tripod synchronization system

Abstract

An inertia tripod member is adapted to be coupled to a rotating member of an archery bow. The inertia tripod member includes a central body portion offset from the rotating member. A synchronization leg extends out from the central body portion and is coupled to the rotating member for synchronizing rotation of the inertia tripod member with rotation of the rotating member. An inertia thrust leg extends out from the central body portion and is spaced apart from the synchronization leg for increasing catapulting forces and bow speed during each shot of the archery bow.

1 . An inertia tripod member adapted to be coupled to a rotating member of an archery bow, said inertia tripod member comprising: 
 a central body portion offset from the rotating member;    a synchronization leg extending out from said central body portion and coupled to the rotating member for synchronizing rotation of said inertia tripod member with rotation of the rotating member; and    an inertia thrust leg extending out from said central body portion and spaced apart from said synchronization leg for increasing catapulting forces and bow speed during each shot of the archery bow.    
   
   
       2 . An inertia tripod member as set forth in  claim 1  wherein said synchronization leg includes a damping member for dampening vibration and noise during each shot of the archery bow.  
   
   
       3 . An inertia tripod member as set forth in  claim 2  wherein said central body portion includes a bearing housing.  
   
   
       4 . An inertia tripod member as set forth in  claim 3  including a ball bearing received within said bearing housing.  
   
   
       5 . An inertia tripod member as set forth in  claim 1  wherein said inertia thrust leg includes an inertial disc weight fixedly secured thereto.  
   
   
       6 . An inertia tripod member as set forth in  claim 1  wherein said inertia thrust leg is generally J-shaped.  
   
   
       7 . An inertia tripod member as set forth in  claim 1  including a damping arm pad fixedly secured to said cam synchronization leg for dampening vibration at full draw of the archery bow.  
   
   
       8 . An inertia tripod member as set forth in  claim 7  wherein said damping arm pad is formed from an elastomeric material.  
   
   
       9 . An inertia tripod member for an archery bow having a rotating member, said inertia tripod member comprising: 
 a central body portion adapted to be coupled to the rotating member; and    an inertia thrust leg extending out from said central body portion, said inertia thrust leg having an inertial disc weight fixedly secured thereto for increasing catapulting forces and bow speed during each shot of the archery bow.    
   
   
       10 . An inertia tripod member as set forth in  claim 9  wherein said inertia thrust leg has a predetermined geometry configured to increase catapulting forces and bow speed.  
   
   
       11 . An inertia tripod member as set forth in  claim 10  wherein said inertia thrust leg is generally J-shaped.  
   
   
       12 . An inertia tripod member as set forth in  claim 9  including a radius moment defined by a distance between a center of said inertial disc weight and a center of said central body portion.  
   
   
       13 . An inertia tripod member adapted to be coupled to a rotating member of an archery bow, said inertia tripod member comprising: 
 a central body portion;    a synchronization leg extending out from said central body portion and coupled to the rotating member for synchronizing rotation of said inertia tripod member with rotation of the rotating member;    a draw length adjustable leg extending out from said central body portion and spaced apart from said synchronization leg for limiting rotation of the rotating member at full draw of the archery bow; and    an inertia thrust leg extending out from said central body portion and spaced apart from said synchronization and draw length adjustable legs for increasing catapulting forces and bow speed during each shot of the bow.    
   
   
       14 . An inertia tripod member as set forth in  claim 13  wherein said draw length adjustable leg includes a plurality of spaced apart threaded holes.  
   
   
       15 . An inertia tripod member as set forth in  claim 14  including a draw stop rubber pad selectively received within one of said plurality of spaced apart threaded holes for defining full draw of the archery bow.  
   
   
       16 . An inertia tripod member as set forth in  claim 13  wherein said inertia thrust leg includes an inertial disc weight fixedly secured thereto.  
   
   
       17 . An inertia tripod member as set forth in  claim 13  wherein said inertia thrust leg is generally J-shaped.  
   
   
       18 . An inertia tripod member as set forth in  claim 13  including a damping arm pad fixedly secured to said cam synchronization leg for dampening vibration at full draw of the archery bow.  
   
   
       19 . An inertia tripod member as set forth in  claim 18  wherein said damping arm pad is formed from an elastomeric material.
