Abstract

A bow includes: a bow body; a first string cam provided on one end of the bow body to be rotatable, one end of a string being fixed to the first string cam; a first small diameter cam rotated with the first string cam, one end of a cable being wound on the first small diameter cam; a first large diameter cam rotated with the first string cam, one end of a cable being wound on the first large diameter cam; a second string cam provided on the other end of the bow body to be rotatable, the other end of the string being fixed to the second string cam; a second small diameter cam rotated with the second string cam, the other end of the cable being wound on the second small diameter cam; and a second large diameter cam rotated with the second string cam, the other end of the cable being wound on the second large diameter cam.

Claims (29)

1. A bow, comprising:

a bow body without having a limb;

a first string cam that is provided on one end of the bow body so as to be rotatable, one end of a string being fixed to the first string cam;

a first small diameter cam that is rotated in conjunction with the first string cam, one end side of a first cable being wound on the first small diameter cam;

a first large diameter cam that is rotated in conjunction with the first string cam, one end side of a second cable being wound on the first large diameter cam;

a second string cam that is provided on the other end of the bow body so as to be rotatable, the other end of the string being fixed to the second string cam;

a second small diameter cam that is rotated in conjunction with the second string cam, the other end side of the second cable being wound on the second small diameter cam; and

a second large diameter cam that is rotated in conjunction with the second string cam, the other end side of the first cable being wound on the second large diameter cam, wherein

the first cable and the second cable are elastically deformable,

the first cable and the second cable are deformed when a string is pulled, the first string cam and the second string cam are rotated, and the first small diameter cam, the second large diameter cam, the first large diameter cam and the second small diameter cam are rotated in conjunction with the first string cam and the second string cam, and

the first small diameter cam, the second large diameter cam, the first large diameter cam and the second small diameter cam are rotated and the first string cam and the second string cam are rotated when the string is released to shoot an arrow knocked on the string by an elastomeric force generated when the first cable and the second cable are elastically deformed.

2. The bow according to claim 1 , wherein

the bow body is arranged forward of the first small diameter cam, the first large diameter cam, the second small diameter cam and the second large diameter cam, and

the bow body has a pulley on which the first cable and the second cable are wound.

3. The bow according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a first shaft provided on one end of the bow body for rotatably supporting the first string cam, the first small diameter cam and the first large diameter cam,

a second shaft provided on the other end of the bow body for rotatably supporting the second string cam, the second small diameter cam and the second large diameter cam,

a first bobbin housed in a first cavity formed in the first small diameter cam, the first shaft being inserted into the first bobbin,

a second bobbin housed in a second cavity formed in the second large diameter cam, the second shaft being inserted into the second bobbin,

a third bobbin housed in a third cavity formed in the first large diameter cam, the first shaft being inserted into the third bobbin, and

a fourth bobbin housed in a fourth cavity formed in the second small diameter cam, the second shaft being inserted into the fourth bobbin, wherein

the first cable is wound on the first bobbin and the second bobbin multiple times, and

the second cable is wound on the third bobbin and the fourth bobbin multiple times.

4. The bow according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a grip having a connection pin, wherein

a bearing for rotatably holding the connection pin is inserted in the bow body, and

the bow body has a long hole penetrating through a gravity center of the bow body.

5. The bow according to claim 4 , wherein

the connection pin is arranged on a center axis of an arrow when the arrow is knocked on the string.
