Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
In some embodiments, a crossbow comprises a stock, a fire control assembly and a bow portion. In some embodiments, the bow portion comprises a prod, a first limb, a second limb, a first rotatable member and a second rotatable member. The crossbow comprises a drawn orientation wherein the first rotatable member overlaps with the stock. In some embodiments, a reference line oriented orthogonal to a shooting axis intersects the stock and the first rotatable member. In some embodiments, the reference line is parallel to a rotation axis of the first rotatable member.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A crossbow comprising: a stock comprising a structural portion; a fire control assembly attached to the stock; a bow portion attached to the stock, the bow portion comprising a prod, a first limb, a second limb, a bowstring segment, a first rotatable member and a second rotatable member, the bowstring segment arranged to unspool from the first rotatable member and the second rotatable member as the crossbow is drawn; the crossbow comprising a drawn orientation wherein the first rotatable member overlaps with the structural portion of the stock and a portion of the first rotatable member passes through a sidewall of the stock. 2. The crossbow of claim 1 , wherein a reference line oriented orthogonal to a shooting axis intersects the stock and the first rotatable member. 3. The crossbow of claim 1 , wherein the first rotatable member overlaps with the stock. 4. The crossbow of claim 3 , wherein a distance between the first rotatable member and the second rotatable member in the drawn condition is less than a width of the stock. 5. The crossbow of claim 1 , the sidewall comprising an aperture, a portion of the first rotatable member oriented in the aperture. 6. The crossbow of claim 1 , comprising a non-drawn orientation wherein the first rotatable member does not overlap with the stock. 7. The crossbow of claim 1 , the stock comprising a single piece of material. 8. The crossbow of claim 1 , the stock comprising a structural component of the crossbow that receives applied forces from the bow portion at a first location and a second location. 9. The crossbow of claim 8 , the first location comprising an attachment between the prod and the stock. 10. The crossbow of claim 9 , the second location comprising an attachment between the first fire control assembly and the stock. 11. A crossbow comprising: a stock comprising a structural portion, a bow portion comprising a rotatable member and a bowstring segment arranged to unspool from the rotatable member as the crossbow is drawn; wherein the rotatable member overlaps with the structural portion of the stock and a portion of the first rotatable member passes through a sidewall of the stock. 12. The crossbow of claim 11 , wherein a side of the stock defines a plane, and a portion of the rotatable member is oriented in the plane. 13. The crossbow of claim 11 , wherein a side of the stock comprises an aperture, and a portion of the rotatable member is oriented in the aperture. 14. The crossbow of claim 11 , wherein a side of the stock comprises a cavity, and a portion of the rotatable member is oriented in the cavity. 15. The crossbow of claim 11 , wherein a reference line intersects the stock and the rotatable member. 16. The crossbow of claim 15 , wherein the reference line is oriented orthogonal to a shooting axis of the crossbow. 17. The crossbow of claim 15 , wherein the reference line is oriented parallel to a rotation axis of the rotatable member. 18. The crossbow of claim 11 , the stock comprising a single piece of material. 19. The crossbow of claim 11 , the bow portion comprising a limb, the rotatable member supported by the limb.
