Patent ID: 7954481

Claim:
A bow with bow string vibration suppressor comprising: a body and a bowstring, said body including a mounting hole extending from the front of said body through to the rear of said body for horizontally affixing a stabilizer, said mounting hole being positioned behind and laterally offset to said bowstring; a hollow barrel forming a tubular sidewall, a proximal extremity, a distal extremity, a substantially cylindrical exterior and a substantially cylindrical central bore defining the barrel's longitudinal axis; a male threaded coupling projecting proximally from said hollow barrel's proximal extremity, said male threaded coupling having a central axis coaxially aligned with said hollow barrel's longitudinal axis; an offset adapter bracket for positioning said hollow barrel immediately behind said bow string, said offset adapter bracket including a male threaded portion threadably affixed to the rear mounting stabilizer hole of said bow and a female threaded portion threadably receiving said male threaded coupling; an elongate shaft having a proximal extremity and a distal extremity, said elongate shaft having an elongate cylindrical shape and positioned within and coaxially aligned with said hollow barrel so as to be telescopically slideable within said hollow barrel to provide an adjustable length for said hollow barrel and elongate shaft combination, said hollow barrel receiving and encapsulating said elongate shaft's proximal extremity, said elongate shaft extending distally beyond the hollow barrel's distal extremity; locking means for locking said elongate shaft to said hollow barrel so as to prevent said elongate shaft from telescopically sliding relative to said hollow barrel; and an elastomeric damper affixed to the distal end of said elongate shaft for engaging and dampening the vibration of said bow string.
