ABSTRACT:
A torqueless buss cable positioner for a compound bow, whereby the buss cables are displaced from the bow plane, yet, optimally, the buss cables do not subject the limbs to any force component perpendicular to the bow plane. The present invention provides two mutually spaced apart outboard guidance locations of the buss cables such that the limbs are not subjected to a force component perpendicular to the bow plane. In the preferred embodiment, this feature is provided by the location of the first and second pulley sets. Further, the present invention provides an inboard guidance location of the buss cables between the outboard guidance locations, whereby the buss cables are laterally displaced a sufficient length from the bow plane to get the buss cables out of the way of the arrow at its nocking location. In the preferred embodiment, this feature is provided by the location of the third pulley set. In order for the present invention to function with varying amounts of draw of the bowstring, the outboard and inboard guidances are biasably pivoted to accommodate cam induced travel of the buss cables. In the preferred embodiment, this feature is provided by spring biased first and second pivots of the frame with respect to the bow member.
