Cam Extension Draw Stop

Abstract

In some embodiments, an archery bow comprises a riser, a first limb and a second limb. A first rotatable member is supported by the first limb and a second rotatable member supported by the second limb. The first rotatable member comprises a cam track and a draw stop. The draw stop comprises a cavity. A bowstring extends between the first rotatable member and the second rotatable member. A power cable is arranged to be taken up by the cam track as the bow is drawn. The bow comprises a drawn orientation and the draw stop contacts the power cable in the drawn orientation.

1 . An archery bow comprising:
 a riser;   a first limb and a second limb;   a first rotatable member supported by said first limb and a second rotatable member supported by said second limb, said first rotatable member comprising a cam track and a draw stop, said draw stop comprising a cavity;   a bowstring extending between said first rotatable member and said second rotatable member; and   a power cable arranged to be taken up by said cam track as said bow is drawn;   wherein said bow comprises a drawn orientation, said draw stop contacting said power cable in said drawn orientation.   
     
     
         2 . The archery bow of  claim 1 , wherein said draw stop contacts said power cable at a location that is spaced apart from said cam track. 
     
     
         3 . The archery bow of  claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of said power cable is oriented in said cavity in said drawn orientation. 
     
     
         4 . The archery bow of  claim 1 , wherein said cavity comprises an arcuate surface that defines a central longitudinal axis of said cavity. 
     
     
         5 . The archery bow of  claim 4 , wherein said central longitudinal axis is collinear with a central axis of a terminal portion of said cam track. 
     
     
         6 . The archery bow of  claim 1 , wherein said draw stop comprises a concave surface that defines said cavity, said concave surface contacting said power cable in said drawn orientation. 
     
     
         7 . The archery bow of  claim 1 , wherein said rotatable member comprises structure located on a first side of said power cable, said draw stop comprising a flange located on a second side of said power cable. 
     
     
         8 . The archery bow of  claim 7 , said flange comprising a fastener head. 
     
     
         9 . The archery bow of  claim 1 , said draw stop comprising a spacer and a fastener attaching said spacer to said draw stop. 
     
     
         10 . The archery bow of  claim 9 , wherein said spacer is frustoconical. 
     
     
         11 . The archery bow of  claim 9 , wherein said spacer surrounds a stem of said fastener. 
     
     
         12 . The archery bow of  claim 9 , wherein said spacer defines a recess, a head of said fastener oriented in said recess. 
     
     
         13 . The archery bow of  claim 1 , wherein said draw stop comprises a cantilever structure. 
     
     
         14 . The archery bow of  claim 1 , said first rotatable member comprising a module arranged to be detached from said first rotatable member, said module comprising said draw stop. 
     
     
         15 . The archery bow of  claim 14 , said module further comprising a portion of said cam track. 
     
     
         16 . The archery bow of  claim 1 , said draw stop comprising a fastener that does not attach to another portion of said first rotatable member. 
     
     
         17 . An archery bow comprising:
 a riser;   at least one limb supported by said riser;   at least one rotatable member supported by said limb, said rotatable member comprising a cam portion defining a cam track, said cam portion comprising a draw stop, said draw stop defining a cavity; and   a power cable arranged to be taken up on said cam track;   wherein said archery bow comprises a drawn orientation, said draw stop contacting said power cable in said drawn orientation.   
     
     
         18 . The archery bow of  claim 17 , wherein at least a portion of said power cable is oriented in said cavity. 
     
     
         19 . The archery bow of  claim 17 , wherein said cam portion comprises a removable portion, said removable portion comprising said draw stop.
