Abstract

A unit for fastening a bowstring of a throwing device the containing a first pulley mounted with a possibility of rotation about the axis of rotation of the first pulley and having the first and the second peripheral surfaces, the second pulley mounted with a possibility of rotation about the axis of rotation of the second pulley, spaced apart from the axis of rotation of the first pulley and having the first and the second peripheral surfaces, a bowstring for throwing a projectile having one end fixed to the first pulley, and other end fixed to the second pulley so the bowstring for throwing a projectile is, at least, partly wrapping the first peripheral surfaces of the first and the second pulleys, the first tension bowstring having one end fixed to the axis of rotation of the first pulley, and other end fixed to the second pulley so the first tension bowstring is, at least, partly wrapping the second peripheral surface of the second pulley, the second tension bowstring having one end fixed to the axis of rotation of the second pulley, and the other end fixed to the first pulley, so the second tension bowstring is, at least, partly wrapping the second peripheral surface of the first pulley and intersects the first tension bowstring, thus when rendering the throwing device in the cocked position the bowstring for throwing a projectile intersects the first and the second tension bowstrings.

Claims

1. A unit for fastening a bowstring of a throwing device, containing:

a first pulley mounted for rotation on an axis of rotation of the first pulley having a first and a second essentially cylindrical peripheral surfaces,

a second pulley mounted for rotation on an axis of rotation of the second pulley, spaced apart from the axis of rotation of the first pulley, having a first and a second essentially cylindrical peripheral surfaces,

a bowstring for throwing a projectile,

wherein the bowstring for throwing a projectile has a one end fixed to the first pulley, and an other end fixed to the second pulley so the bowstring for throwing a projectile is, at least, partly wrapping the first essentially cylindrical peripheral surfaces of the first and the second pulleys,

a first tension bowstring,

a second tension bowstring,

a first element for fastening the first tension bowstring, mounted on the axis of rotation of the first pulley, the first element for fastening the first tension bowstring being a separated element, independent from the first pulley, the first tension bowstring fastening to it at a distance from the axis of rotation of the first pulley, and

a second element for fastening the second tension bowstring, mounted on the axis of rotation of the second pulley, the second element for fastening the second tension bowstring being a separated element, independent from the second pulley, the second tension bowstring fastening to it at a distance from the axis of rotation of the second pulley,

wherein the first tension bowstring has a one end fixed to the first element for fastening the first tension bowstring, and an other end fixed to the second pulley so the first tension bowstring is, at least, partly wrapping the second peripheral surface of the second pulley,

the second tension bowstring has a one end fixed to the second element for fastening the second tension bowstring, and an other end fixed to the first pulley so the second tension bowstring is, at least, partly wrapping the second peripheral surface of the first pulley and intersects the first tension bowstring, and
