Patent attributes
The invention relates to a bow or prod of a crossbow, said prod having a spring limbs connected with a crosspiece and a working rotatable elements guiding a bowstring and/or cable, and the bowstring and/or the cable, wherein the working rotatable elements guiding the bowstring and/or the cable are located at both ends of the spring limbs, respectively. In one embodiment of the prod, the rear ends of the spring limbs (2) are fastened to both rear ends of the crosspiece (1) by the holders (9) fastened rotatably on the pivots (7a), and the working rotatable elements (3) guiding the bowstring (6) are rotatably fastened to the rear ends of the crosspiece (1) and coaxially with said holders (9), said bowstring (6) is fastened at the fastening point (5) with its for receiving the rear working to the first front end of the crosspiece (1), and similarly with its second end to the second opposite front end of the crosspiece (1). The bowstring (6) runs from its for receiving the rear working through first front working rotatable element (8) guiding the bowstring (6), located on the same side of the prod, and connected coaxially by the pivot (7b) with the holder (9) of the for receiving the rear working of the first spring limb (2), towards the first rear working rotatable element (3) guiding the bowstring (6), located on the same side of the prod, and next towards the second rear working rotatable element (3) guiding the bowstring (6), located on the opposite side of the prod, and further towards the second front working rotatable element (8) guiding the bowstring (6) and connected coaxially with the holder (9) of the front end of the second spring limb (2), and further passing over said second front working rotatable element (8) guiding the bowstring (6), it ends its course at the second front end of the crosspiece (1) with its second end fastened at the fastening point (5). The bowstring (6) runs passes over all the working rotatable elements (3, 8) guiding the bowstring (6).
