Torque Reduction System for Archery Bows

Abstract

The torque reduction system provides a means of positioning stabilization elements on or in close proximity to the transverse axis of the archery Bow. More particularly, lightweight masses and/or shock-absorbing elements can be mounted onto the torque reduction system on the axis of or in close proximity to the throat of the archery Bow handle, thereby reducing any lateral torque caused by the archer's grip on the archery Bow handle.

 a) a proximal element with a least one mounting hole,   b) a distal element having a least one slot and configured to receive at least one attachment,   c) a mechanical means to attach said distal and said proximal elements,   said distal and said proximal elements detachably joined forming an assembly where said assembly has a vertical and a horizontal offset between said distal and said proximal elements, and said assembly is configured to be detachably mounted to an archery bow where the axis of the at the least one attachment is in proximity to the transverse axis of the bow.   
     
     
         2 . A device as in  claim 1  where the vertical offset is between 2½ and 4½ inches and preferably 3 inches, and the horizontal offset is between 1 and 3½ inches and preferably 1½ inches.

         4 . A device as in  claim 1  further comprising an archery bow and at least one attachment on the proximal element, which controls the rigidity along the transverse axis of the archery bow which passes through the deepest recess of the handle, by the proximity of the axis of the attachment to the transverse axis of the bow, 
     
     
         5 . A device as in  claim 1  further comprising an archery bow and at least one attachment on the proximal element, which controls the dynamic spine of a launched arrow, by the proximity of the axis of the attachment to the transverse axis of the bow. 
     
     
         6 . A unitary device comprising;
 a) proximal element with a least one mounting hole,   b) a distal element having a least one slot and configured to receive at least one attachment,   where said device has a vertical and a horizontal offset between the distal and proximal elements, and said device is configured to be detachably mounted to an archery bow, where the axis of the at the least one attachment is close to the transverse axis of the bow.   
     
     
         7 . A device as in  claim 6  where the vertical offset is between 2½ and 4½ inches and preferably 3 inches, and the horizontal offset is between 1 and 3½ inches and preferably 1½ inches. 
     
     
         8 . A device as in  claim 7  where the width of the distal and proximal elements are between ½ and 1 inch preferably ¾ inches with a thickness between ¼ and ¾ inches and preferably ½ inch. 
     
     
         9 . A device as in  claim 6  further comprising an archery bow and at least one attachment on the proximal element, which controls the rigidity along the transverse axis of the archery bow which passes through the deepest recess of the handle, by the proximity of the axis of the attachment to the transverse axis of the bow. 
     
     
         10 . A device as in  claim 6  further comprising an archery bow and at least one attachment on the proximal element, which controls the dynamic spine of a launched arrow, by the proximity of the axis of the attachment to the transverse axis of the bow. 
     
     
         11 . A unitary device comprising;
 a) proximal element with a least one mounting hole,   b) a distal element having a least one rib and configured to receive at least one attachment,   where said device has a vertical and a horizontal offset between the distal and proximal elements, and said device is configured to be detachably mounted to an archery bow, where the axis of the at the least one attachment is close to the transverse axis of the bow.   
     
     
         12 . A device as in  claim 11  where the vertical offset is between 2½ and 4½ inches and preferably 3 inches, and the horizontal offset is between 1 and 3½ inches and preferably 1½ inches. 
     
     
         13 . A device as in  claim 12  where the width of the distal and proximal elements are between ½ and 1 inch preferably ¾ inches with a thickness between ¼ and ¾ inches and preferably ½ inch. 
     
     
         14 . A device as in  claim 11  where the device is molded from a plastic resin. 
     
     
         15 . A device in  claim 14  where the plastic resin is a polyimidamide. 
     
     
         16 . A device as in  claim 14  where the plastic resin is a glass filled polyimidamide. 
     
     
         17 . A device as in  claim 14  where the plastic resin is Ultem or a similar material. 
     
     
         18 . A device as in  claim 11  further comprising an archery bow and at least one attachment on the proximal element, which controls the rigidity along the transverse axis of the archery bow which passes through the deepest recess of the handle, by the proximity of the axis of the attachment to the transverse axis of the bow. 
     
     
         19 . A device as in  claim 11  further comprising an archery bow and at least one attachment on the proximal element, which controls the dynamic spine of a launched arrow, by the proximity of the axis of the attachment to the transverse axis of the bow.
