ABSTRACT:
The improved assembly includes an archery bow to which a connector and stabilizer sub-assembly are releasably secured. The sub-assembly features a connector having inner and outer concentric tubular sleeves with a spring therebetween biasing the outer sleeve toward an annular rim at the end of the inner sleeve which is adjacent to the stabilizer. Spaced bearings are disposed in an annular array in openings in the inner sleeve adjacent the end towards which the outer sleeve is biased. When the outer sleeve is retracted against the spring bias, the bearings can be moved into pockets defined in the outer sleeve by a nut on the free end of a bolt extending from one end of the stabilizer into the inner sleeve so that the nut can move past the bearings. When the outer sleeve is then allowed to be spring biased into its resting position against the inner sleeve rim, the bearings are forced radially inwardly by an annular shelf or detent of the outer sleeve to trap the nut behind the bearings and thus hold the stabilizer against the connector. Thereafter when the connector is tightened against the stabilizer, the outer sleeve cannot be retracted because of the wedging action of the nut and detent against the bearings. Accordingly, locking of the stabilizer and connector together and unlocking them is simple, rapid and positive.
