Abstract
Abstract An archery bow stabilizer having a weighting element and an elongated telescopically adjustable support for supporting the weighting element in selective spaced relationship with a bow, the support comprising an elongated round member slidably fitted into tubular member, the round member having a short cylindrical element eccentrically pivoted on the end thereof and nicely fitting the bore of the other member whereby the eccentrically pivoted cylindrical member locks the telescoping members in adjusted position when one member is rotated relative to the other and readily releases the members when the one is rotated oppositely relative to the other.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
96 words
An adjustable stabilizer for an archery bow comprising two elongated support members, one of which is hollow and the other being slidably entered therein in slip fit relationship for telescopic adjustment of the overall length of both members, weighting means of sufficient mass to provide inertial resistance for stabilizing a bow against movement at the outer end of one of said members, means at the outer end of the other member for connecting it to a bow, and means on the inner end of said other member for locking said support members in any adjusted position.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
96 words
An adjustable stabilizer for an archery bow comprising two elongated support members, one of which is hollow and the other being slidably entered therein in slip fit relationship for telescopic adjustment of the overall length of both members, weighting means of sufficient mass to provide inertial resistance for stabilizing a bow against movement at the outer end of one of said members, means at the outer end of the other member for connecting it to a bow, and means on the inner end of said other member for locking said support members in any adjusted position.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
38 words
An adjustable stabilizer as set forth in claim 1 in which both elongated support members are lengths of lightweight tubing, one being smaller in diameter than the other and being entered into the other in slip fit relationship.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
89 words
An adjustable stabilizer as set forth in claim 1 in which one of the elongated support members has a round axial bore, in which the other elongated member is round and slidably entered into said bore, in which said locking means comprises a locking member pivotally mounted on the inner end of said other member on an eccentrically positioned pivot, and in which said locking member has an arcuate surface portion of substantially the same radius as said round axial bore contiguous with a wall portion of said bore.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
52 words
An adjustable stabilizer as set forth in claim 3 in which said locking member is cylindrical in form, has a slip fit in said axial bore, and has an eccentric longitudinal bore therethrough which receives a pivot pin positioned eccentrically in and projecting from the inner end of said other support member.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
92 words
An adjustable stabilizer as set forth in claim 1 in which one of the elongated support members has a round axial bore and the other is round and entered into the bore in slip fit relationship, in which said locking means comprises a cylindrical member eccentrically pivoted on the inner end of said other member, in which said cylindrical member slidably fits in said axial bore, and in which said cylindrical member is provided with circumferentially extending means thereon to increase the friction between said cylinder and the wall of said bore.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
40 words
An adjustable stabilizer as set forth in claim 5 in which said circumferentially extending means for increasing friction between said cylindrical member and the wall of said bore comprises an annulus of elastic resilient material stretched over the cylindrical member.
