Archery bow with skidproof handle grip

Abstract

An archery bow includes a bow body, a first grip pad and a second grip pad. The bow body has a handle portion and a first through hole transversely defined in the handle portion. Each of the first and second grip pads is integrally formed of a resilient plastics material. Specifically, the first grip pad has an inner surface and an outer skidproof surface at opposite sides thereof, and is formed on the inner surface with a positioning stud detachably press-fit in the first through hole from one side of the handle portion. The second grip pad has an inner surface and an outer skidproof surface at opposite sides thereof, and is formed on the inner surface with a receptacle detachably press-fit in the first through hole from the opposite side of the handle portion so as to engage with the positioning stud of the first grip pad.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An archery bow comprising:
 a bow body having a handle portion and a first through hole transversely defined in the handle portion;   a first grip pad integrally formed of a resilient plastics material, having an inner surface and an outer skidproof surface at opposite sides thereof, and being formed on the inner surface with a positioning stud detachably press-fit in the first through hole from one side of the handle portion; and   a second grip pad integrally formed of a resilient plastics material, having an inner surface and an outer skidproof surface at opposite sides thereof, and being formed on the inner surface with a receptacle detachably press-fit in the first through hole from the opposite side of the handle portion so as to engage with the positioning stud of the first grip pad.   
     
     
         2 . An archery bow as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the bow body includes a riser and a pair of limbs extending outwardly from the opposite ends of the riser; and the riser is provided with said handle portion thereon. 
     
     
         3 . An archery bow as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the first grip pad is formed with a plurality of bumps thereon to form the outer skidproof surface. 
     
     
         4 . An archery bow as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the resilient plastics material from which the first grip pad is made is rubber. 
     
     
         5 . An archery bow as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the first grip pad is contoured by longitudinal and lateral symmetry; and the second grip pad has a profile substantially identical to that of the first grip pad. 
     
     
         6 . An archery bow as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the first and second grip pads are both substantially elliptic. 
     
     
         7 . An archery bow as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the positioning stud of the first grip pad is substantially cylindrical; the receptacle of the second grip pad has a substantially cylindrical recess for receipt of the positioning stud of the first grip pad; and the second grip pad is formed with a plurality of axially extending ribs on an inner wall surface of the cylindrical recess in the receptacle to grip the positioning stud of the first grip pad. 
     
     
         8 . An archery bow as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the bow body further has a second through hole transversely defined in the handle portion; the first grip pad is further formed on the inner surface with a receptacle detachably press-fit in the second through hole from one side of the handle portion; and
 the second grip pad is further formed on the inner surface with a positioning stud detachably press-fit in the second through hole from the opposite side of the handle portion for engagement with the first grip pad.   
     
     
         9 . An archery bow as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the positioning stud of the first grip pad is substantially cylindrical; the receptacle of the second grip pad has a substantially cylindrical recess for receipt of the positioning stud of the first grip; and the second grip pad is formed with a plurality of axially extending ribs on an inner wall surface of the cylindrical recess in the receptacle to grip the positioning stud of the first grip pad.
