CROSSBOW - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240027161 titled 'CROSSBOW

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a crossbow that is designed to shoot a projectile. The crossbow includes a frame with a stock at the rear end, defining a horizontal projectile plane where the projectile axis is positioned. The projectile moves within this plane and along the projectile axis during firing and arming. The projectile is fired from the front end of the frame. The crossbow also includes a drawstring hub that is connected to the ends of a drawstring. The rotation of the drawstring hub is powered by a force applied by flexed limbs. Drawstring guides are attached to the frame to guide the drawstring across the projectile axis between the ends. The drawstring guides include pulley wheels around which the drawstring is guided.

  • The crossbow is configured to shoot a projectile.
  • The frame of the crossbow has a stock at the rear end and defines a horizontal projectile plane.
  • The projectile axis is positioned within the horizontal projectile plane.
  • The projectile moves within the horizontal projectile plane and along the projectile axis during firing and arming.
  • The projectile is fired from the front end of the frame.
  • The crossbow includes a drawstring hub that is connected to the ends of a drawstring.
  • The drawstring hub is powered by a force applied by flexed limbs.
  • Drawstring guides are attached to the frame to guide the drawstring across the projectile axis.
  • The drawstring guides include pulley wheels around which the drawstring is guided.
  • The crossbow frame is detachably coupled via a fastening mechanism.

Potential Applications:

  • Hunting and recreational shooting
  • Military and law enforcement operations
  • Archery competitions and sports

Problems Solved:

  • Provides a mechanism for accurately shooting projectiles with a crossbow.
  • Ensures smooth and controlled movement of the drawstring during firing and arming.
  • Allows for detachable coupling of the crossbow frame for easy assembly and disassembly.

Benefits:

  • Improved accuracy and precision in shooting projectiles.
  • Enhanced safety and control during the firing process.
  • Ease of assembly and disassembly for storage and transportation.


Original Abstract Submitted

a crossbow is configured to shoot a projectile. the crossbow includes a frame having a stock positioned at a rear end, the frame defining a horizontal projectile plane at a top side in which a projectile axis is positioned. the projectile moves within the horizontal projectile plane and along the projectile axis during firing and arming of the crossbow, and the projectile is fired from a front end of the frame. the crossbow further includes a drawstring hub connectable to ends of a drawstring. rotation of the drawstring hub in at least one direction is powered, such as by a force applied by flexed limbs. the crossbow further includes drawstring guides attached to the frame for guiding the drawstring across the projectile axis between the ends of the drawstring. the first and second drawstring guides each include a pulley wheel, wherein the drawstring is guided at least partially around each pulley wheel. a further aspect is a crossbow having a frame comprised of a first frame portion and a second frame portion that are detachably coupled to one another via a fastening mechanism.
