Patent ID: 8534273

Claim:
A stabilizer assembly adapted for quick connection to and disconnection from an archery bow, the stabilizer assembly comprising: a mounting base being generally cup-shaped and including a rear wall adapted for connection to the archery bow, and a continuous side wall that extends from the rear wall to form an internal space, and; a stabilizer body having a connecting section that includes an external tapered thread; an expandable locking member having an internal tapered thread that engages the external tapered thread of the connecting section to thereby cause the locking member to expand when the connecting section is screwed into the locking member to thereby releasably connect the stabilizer body to the mounting base when the locking member is expanded; and an axially extending groove on one of the locking member and the mounting base and an axially extending projection on the other of the locking member and the mounting base for engaging the groove to thereby prevent unwanted rotation between the locking member and the mounting base when the connecting section is screwed into the locking member.
