Improved bow body and bow thereof

Abstract

A bow body ( 8 ) comprising a frame provided with a grip ( 12 ), the frame having a first and second arm ( 16, 20 ) which extend from said grip ( 12 ) towards a first and a second end ( 24, 28 ) respectively, said ends ( 24, 28 ) being fitted with attachments ( 32 ) for associable limbs ( 36 ) suitable for supporting a string. The frame comprises at least one pocket or lightening ( 40 ) positioned on at least one of said arms ( 16, 20 ). Advantageously, the bow body ( 8 ) comprises at least one insert ( 44 ), applied to close the pocket ( 40 ) so as to form a wind bracing for the pocket, the insert ( 44 ) constituting a stiffening of the frame at the point of the pocket ( 40 ).

         4 . Body of a bow ( 4 ) according to any of the previous claims, wherein the insert ( 44 ) is in the shape of a cheek at partially overlapping the pocket ( 40 ) so as to cover it, the cheek being attached to at least a stop wall ( 56 ) adjacent to the pocket ( 40 ) by means of gluing and/or welding. 
     
     
         5 . Bow body ( 4 ) according to any of the previous claims, wherein said insert ( 44 ) in turn has lightening apertures. 
     
     
         6 . Bow body ( 4 ) according to any of the previous claims, wherein said pockets ( 40 ) or lightenings are through apertures of the frame of the bow body frame ( 8 ). 
     
     
         7 . Bow body ( 4 ) according to any of the previous claims, wherein the bow body ( 8 ) is made at least partially in metallic material and/or lightweight alloy. 
     
     
         8 . Bow body ( 4 ) according to any of the previous claims, wherein the inserts ( 44 ) are made in polymer, metallic materials and/or in carbon. 
     
     
         9 . Bow body ( 4 ) according to any of the previous claims, wherein the inserts ( 44 ) identify closed spaces with said pockets, and wherein inside said closed volumes vibration damper means ( 60 ) are housed. 
     
     
         10 . Bow body ( 4 ) according to any of the previous claims, wherein the inserts ( 44 ) are made by means of closed hollow bodies ( 64 ) inside which vibration damper means ( 60 ) are housed. 
     
     
         11 . Bow body ( 4 ) according to  claim 9  or  10 , wherein said vibration damper means ( 60 ) are mechanical and/or electronic and/or hydraulic systems of inertial damping, so as to stabilise the bow ( 4 ) and dampen the vibrations of the same. 
     
     
         12 . Bow body ( 4 ) according to,  claim 9 ,  10  or  11 , wherein said vibration damper means ( 60 ) comprise a damper fluid which fills the spaces made in the pockets ( 40 ) at least partially. 
     
     
         13 . Bow body ( 4 ) according to any of the previous claims, wherein at least one pocket ( 40 ) or lightening is positioned on a portion of the bow body ( 8 ) which supports the grip ( 12 ).
