Abstract
Abstract A torque ring adjustably secured at a selected point to an archery bow. A tuning bar has one end thereof universally adjustably secured to the torque ring and has a weight adjustably mounted thereon. The tuning bar is resiliently flexible for oscillation with the weight in any selected plane with respect to the plane of the bow, under shock transmitted from the bow to the torque ring.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
96 words
A tuning and stabilizing attachment for an archery bow, said attachment comprising in combination, mounting means adapted to be secured at a selected point to a bow, a torque ring supported by said mounting means, a resiliently flexible tuning bar secured at one end thereof to said torque ring, a weight carried by said bar for oscillation therewith under shock transmitted to said ring from the bow and universally adjustable means securing said tuning bar to said torque ring whereby the bar may oscillate in a selected angular plane relative to the plane of the ring.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
96 words
A tuning and stabilizing attachment for an archery bow, said attachment comprising in combination, mounting means adapted to be secured at a selected point to a bow, a torque ring supported by said mounting means, a resiliently flexible tuning bar secured at one end thereof to said torque ring, a weight carried by said bar for oscillation therewith under shock transmitted to said ring from the bow and universally adjustable means securing said tuning bar to said torque ring whereby the bar may oscillate in a selected angular plane relative to the plane of the ring.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
35 words
The device as defined in claim 1, wherein said universally adjustable means are securable to said torque ring so as to dispose said tuning bar with said weight selectively inside and outside the torque ring.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
25 words
The device as defined in claim 1, together with means securing said weight to said tuning bar at a selected point longitudinally of the bar.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim

The device as defined in claim 1, wherein said torque ring is adjustable circumferentially in said mounting means whereby to vary the circumferential distance of the secured end of said tuning bar from the mounting means.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
The device as defined in claim 1, wherein said tuning bar is adjustable at selected points about the circumference of said ring.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
80 words
A tuning and stabilizing attachment for an archery bow, said attachment comprising in combination, mounting means adapted to be secured at a selected point to a bow, a torque ring supported by said mounting means, a resiliently flexible tuning bar secured at one end thereof to said torque ring, a weight carried by said bar for oscillation therewith under shock transmitted to said ring from the bow and means securing said weight selectively concentrically and eccentrically to said tuning bar.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
80 words
A tuning and stabilizing attachment for an archery bow, said attachment comprising in combination, mounting means adapted to be secured at a selected point to a bow, a torque ring supported by said mounting means, a resiliently flexible tuning bar secured at one end thereof to said torque ring, a weight carried by said bar for oscillation therewith under shock transmitted to said ring from the bow and means securing said weight selectively concentrically and eccentrically to said tuning bar.
