US12553682 - Archery cam adjuster and associated method

The patent describes an archery cam adjustment assembly that allows for lateral displacement of the cam relative to the limb of an archery bow through a mechanism that can be locked or unlocked. In the unlocked state, the assembly permits free rotation of the axle and movement of the cam support, while the locked state secures the components in place.

Claim 1

1 . An archery bow comprising: a limb assembly comprising at least one limb portion; a cam adjustment assembly configured to couple to the at least one limb assembly, wherein the cam adjustment assembly comprises, an axle extension extending along an axis and configured to traverse the at least one limb portion, the axle extension including a first end, an opposing second end and a central portion, wherein the central portion includes a set of threads, a cam support configured to engage the central portion of the axle extension and move along the axis of the axle extension, a securing member structured to partially accept the axle extension and be moved between a locked and an unlocked state; a plug configured to rotatably engage the securing member and engage the second end of the axle extension; and a cam supported by the cam support and configured to rotate relative to the cam support, wherein in the unlocked state, the plug is enabled to rotate relative to the securing member and the axle extension is enabled to rotate freely relative to the cam support to move the cam support along the axis in order to displace the cam in a lateral direction with respect to the limb portion, and wherein in the locked state, the plug is inhibited from rotating relative to the securing member and the axle extension is inhibited from rotating relative to the cam support. a limb assembly comprising at least one limb portion; a cam adjustment assembly configured to couple to the at least one limb assembly, wherein the cam adjustment assembly comprises, an axle extension extending along an axis and configured to traverse the at least one limb portion, the axle extension including a first end, an opposing second end and a central portion, wherein the central portion includes a set of threads, a cam support configured to engage the central portion of the axle extension and move along the axis of the axle extension, a securing member structured to partially accept the axle extension and be moved between a locked and an unlocked state; a plug configured to rotatably engage the securing member and engage the second end of the axle extension; and an axle extension extending along an axis and configured to traverse the at least one limb portion, the axle extension including a first end, an opposing second end and a central portion, wherein the central portion includes a set of threads, a cam support configured to engage the central portion of the axle extension and move along the axis of the axle extension, a securing member structured to partially accept the axle extension and be moved between a locked and an unlocked state; a plug configured to rotatably engage the securing member and engage the second end of the axle extension; and a cam supported by the cam support and configured to rotate relative to the cam support, wherein in the unlocked state, the plug is enabled to rotate relative to the securing member and the axle extension is enabled to rotate freely relative to the cam support to move the cam support along the axis in order to displace the cam in a lateral direction with respect to the limb portion, and wherein in the locked state, the plug is inhibited from rotating relative to the securing member and the axle extension is inhibited from rotating relative to the cam support.
