Gyro-kinetic hydraulic bow stabilizer
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     This invention related to hydraulic bow stabilizers which are used to minimize archery bow vibration and reduce reflex response error. 
     DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART 
     Since its inception archery has been as demanding to man as man has been to archery. In the pioneering days of the sport, it was most difficult to maintain a consistent group of arrows or execute the perfect shot at smaller game at long distance. Eventually, with the ingenuity of man, the first bow stabilizers appeared. Through the years they developed to finer level giving one greater satisfaction until modern technology took hold. In most recent years, compound bow design has developed into state of the art, incorporating space age materials from limb to limb. Exotic materials can be found in everything, from the bow string to the arrows themselves. This has given rise to a marked increase in bow speed. Bow stabilizers, one small leap, can continue to improve to stay abreast of modern technology. 
     In the prior art, referring to U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,615,327 and 4,660,538, although they are of fine resilient and inertial design respectively, they may not be enough to dissipate the non-typical energy of current high speed bows. Referring to U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,150,819; 4,570,608; 4,632,228; 4,893,606; 4,982,719; 4,986,018 and 5,044,351, here again, we have quality examples of engineering and dedication to the art. The one existing commonalty, between the above mentioned, being main stream hydraulic theory, all function in a uniform lateral shock absorbing action. The small internal complexity of some of these units, including those that are fixed along the tube wall, may not absorb any energy other then the pre-stated lateral force. 
     One prior art acknowledgment has been made in recognition of non lateral forces exerted by a bow. A fine incorporation of hydraulics and the use of external counter weights, at the sacrifice of compactness. 
     With engineering, including pressurized non linear secondary hydraulic action, this can be done inside the stabilizer. Through experimentation, one can develop a system that reacts to forces from all directions. 
     Small prior art units may not have enough mass to overcome the power of a performance bow. Units with enough mass may be rather lengthy (a disadvantage in the field) and have limited appeal to many archers. The advantages of pure linear stabilizers are greatly reduced with current bow speeds exceeding 300+ F.P.S. A multi functional stabilizer is unquestionably in order. 
     SUMMARY OF INVENTION 
     In this invention, a primary objective is to develop counter firing non-linear stabilization in series with conventional hydraulic stabilization, to make available a hydraulically suspended device in an enclosed capsule housing. The result would be the transference of kinetic energy in a gyroscopic manner. 
     Another objective of the invention, is the incorporation of a preferred specially designed chamber allowing the use of four hydraulic ports. They in turn, exit viscous fluid under pressure against the walls of a capsulated housing. As a unit, the chamber incorporates a calculated tension spring, two energy absorbing low durometer pistons, a retaining ring and retaining screws. The above being acted upon in a linear hydraulic method, produces counter firing hydraulic action. 
     Another objective of the invention, is the reduction of size with increased sensitivity. We can dramatically reduce the preferred unit to approximately four inches or less, making it ultra compact. Bow force is absorbed omni-directionally with no need for the typical extended lateral movement, making a stabilizer excessively long. 
     Another objective of the invention, is the usage of a special mounting bolt. Having a wide flat base, it is secured to the mounting cap rigidly to aid in the transfer of energy evenly across the stabilizer.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     Directed to FIG. 1, the reference numeral 10 designates a state of the art compound bow. The bow 10 is constructed of a riser 11, a composite upper limb 12, a composite lower limb 13, an upper eccentric wheel 14, a lower eccentric wheel 15, and a string 16. The string 16, of exotic material, through guided channels connects the eccentric wheels 14 and 15. The stabilizer, generally referred to as numeral 19, is threaded into the bow riser 11 typically located at the mounting bolt 18. When an archer draws back and releases the string 16, an arrow 17 is launched in a forward direction; to the right of the page. During this operation, the eccentric wheels 14 and 15 release energy in a specifically timed manner. Unlike a conventional bow whose power curve is proportional. The bow energy is stored in the composite limbs 12 and 13 and released instantaneously, unlike a conventional bow where energy transfer is slower. 
     All bow force cannot be absorbed by the arrow 17, in turn, it must be dissipated by an archers hand or a mounted stabilizer. Obviously, the first is not acceptable with a high caliber bow, this would not lead to consistent accuracy. Choosing the later, the stabilizer 19 must be rigidly mounted to the bow 10, to smoothly transfer stored energy. 
     FIG. 2 Shows us an external view of the stabilizer 19 along with bolt 18, which evenly distributes bow energy. The stabilizer 19, in its preferred form, is cylindrical in shape. Also shown here are mounting cap 22 and end cap 23, assembled together at opposite ends of a cylindrical tube 21. Together these elements comprise eighty percent or more of the overall length. This gives the stabilizer 19 great strength and added density across the circumference. 
     Directing attention to FIG. 3, we take a cross-sectional look at the stabilizers cylindrical outer shell, the capsule housing 20. The structure comprised of a hollow cylindrical tube 21, rigidly secured at both ends by the mounting cap 22 and end cap 23. We can better see the mounting bolt 18 constructed of metal secured to the mounting cap 22 by several fasteners 24, also constructed of metal. 
     FIG. 4 Shows us a completed quadraulic unit 25 which acts as a piston within a piston, giving us a multiple of hydraulic events. The development of the system begins with the chamber 26, which in its preferred form is constructed of dense metal, cylindrical in design. Half way the length, equidistant across the outer periphery, four tuned ports 27 exist through the chamber 26. The ports 27 terminate into a measured hollowed cavity 28, on center, parallel the length of the chamber 26. 
     In one end of the chamber 26, a piston 29, having one end diameter, or a piston head diameter, larger than that of the central portion, is inserted. A tension spring 30, whose bias is determined, follows in the cylindrically hollow cavity 28. Opposing a second piston 31 is inserted, capped by a retaining ring 32, secured to the chamber 26 by fastening screws 33. The pistons 29 and 31, in preferred form, are made from durometer measured polymer which perform a quiet, sealed, pressurizing operation. 
     Directing attention to FIG. 5, we see the cross-sectional workings of the gyro-kinetic stabilizer 19. Enclosed within the cylindrical tube 21, secured by mounting cap 22 and end cap 23, is situated the quadraulic unit 25 with viscous fluid 34. Also shown is mounting bolt 18 secured by fasteners 24. 
     When a bow 10 such as in FIG. 1, is fired, stored energy is transferred into the stabilizer 19. This in turn, activates the weighed quadraulic unit 25 into a lateral motion, left and right of page. The viscous fluid 34 which occupies most of the internal remaining space of the stabilizer 19, also occupies the hollow cavity 28 and tuned ports 27. Upon the transfer of energy, the initial response is that of a conventional lateral hydraulic stabilizer. 
     Making contact with either cap 22 or 23, the pistons 29 or 31 eject a viscous fluid 34 under pressure through tuned ports 27, cycling a four stage hydraulic event. 
     The first stage hydraulic event is the lateral transfer of the quadraulic unit 25 through the viscous fluid 34 of stabilizer 19. 
     The second stage hydraulic event is the lateral transfer of viscous fluid 34 through the hollow cavity 28 of the quadraulic unit 25. 
     The third stage hydraulic event is the pressurized ejection of viscous fluid 34 through fifty percent of the tuned ports 27. In their preferred form, they are situated in plane around the outer periphery of the chamber 26, ninety degrees to the other ports. 
     The fourth stage hydraulic event is the pressurized ejection of viscous fluid 34, through the remaining ports 27, existing on a different plane, counter balancing the quadraulic unit 25. 
     The summation of the ejected viscous fluid 34 in the third and fourth stage hydraulic events, create a lifting of the quadraulic unit 25. Depending on the direction of kinetic energy, the lifting becomes gyroscopic in nature self biasing pressure against the inner cylindrical tube 21 wall. The interior of the cylindrical tube 21 being slightly larger than the external diameter of the chamber 26. 
     The ports 27, not only aide in stabilization, they also act as buffered sound absorbers, constantly transferring fluid under pressure, counter to the lateral movements supporting the quadraulic unit 25. 
     To further aide in sound and energy absorption, incorporated is the use of durometer measured polymer pistons 29 and 31. Absorbing initial shock when contacting caps 22 and 23, they are separated by a tension spring 30. This spring 30, has a calculated biasing action in that the load rate is slower than the rate of release. This makes response time to opposing force almost immediate. Securing these components in the chamber 26 is a retaining ring 32 and fastening screws 33. 
     The ergonomical design of the stabilizer 19 as shown, leads to compact, extremely efficient, progressive multi-point stabilization. No sacrifice has been made to strength and integrity. 
     Although the present invention is disclosed in its preferred embodiment, it should not limit the scope of the invention as many modifications would come forth and thus the true scope should be determined with the following claims rather than solely by illustration.
