A compression mold includes punch and cavity components fabricated from initially flat sheets of relatively thin metal. The sheets of each component are shaped, assembled and joined to provide box-like components defining mating mold surfaces yielding molded parts which may be straight or laterally and/or vertically curved. The hollow interior of the two components allows for the circulation therethrough of an appropriate heat transfer medium to permit molding of either thermosetting or thermoplastic compounds.

Method of making a fabricated sheet metal compression mold

A copound bow having low-rotation cams includes an improved anchor member adapted to releasably attach one end of both a bowstring and tension cable to each cam. The cams are formed with a main body or lobe joined to a secondary body or lobe and configured to provide an elongated throat therebetween with a planar cable/bowstring track or groove about the cam periphery. The opposed walls of the cam throat are configured to transversely or laterally receive the anchor member while precluding any longitudinal or radial displacement thereof as tension is applied to the cam member by the engaging ends of the bowstring and tension cable.
