Abstract:
Crossbow bowstring positioning systems are provided. In one aspect of the invention a crossbow bowstring positioning system has a crank housing supporting an axle and positioning a first connector at a front facing surface of the crank housing, a length of rope connected between two separated points on the axle; a bowstring connector joined to the length of rope and connectable to a bowstring of the crossbow, a mounting having a buffer tube mount mountable to a buffer tube of a crossbow; and a crank operable to rotate the axle to control an extent to which the rope is wound onto the axle and a position of the bowstring connector relative to the axle. The crank housing and mounting can be readily assembled in a small space and an efficient manner while providing paths through which a force experienced by the axle during use can be resisted.

Claim (Index 5):
A crossbow bowstring positioning system comprising:\n a crank housing supporting an axle and positioning a first connector at a front facing surface of the crank housing; a length of rope controllably windable from two separated points on the axle as the axle is rotated; a bowstring connector joined to the length of rope and connectable to a bowstring of the crossbow; a mounting having a buffer tube mount mountable to a buffer tube of a crossbow; a first connector at a front facing surface of the crank housing adapted to engage a second connector at a back facing surface of the mounting; a crank operable to rotate the axle to control an extent to which the rope is wound onto the axle and a distance between the axle and the bowstring connector connected to the bowstring; wherein at least one of the first connector and the second connector has a post and the other of the first connector and the second connector has walls defining a post receiving area into which the post can be inserted to engage the post along a first portion of the length of the walls; wherein the housing is in contact with a second portion of the length of the walls separate from the first portion; and wherein a first portion of a force exerted by a bowstring can be resisted through the engagement between the post and the first portion of the length of the walls and wherein a second portion of the force can be resisted through contact between the housing and the second portion of the length of the walls.
