Cruciform with pivotable bow assembly

A cross bow having a cross bow frame and a bow assembly. A bow handle of the bow assembly has a launch deck surface and an aperture below the launch deck surface. The cross-bow frame has a launch deck surface and a coupling rod below the launch deck surface. The coupling rod is sized to mate with the bore, and the coupling rod is coaxial and concentric with the bore. The bow handle is axially coupled to the cross bow frame by a coupling rod, and the bow assembly has a first position for shooting a projectile and a second position for storage or transportation. In the first position and the second position, any suitable device can be used to lock the angular orientation between the bow assembly and the cross bow frame, such as a pin, a plunger, a spring, a pawl, etc. 一种具有十字弓框架和弓组件的十字弓。弓组件的弓把具有发射甲板表面和位于发射甲板表面下方的孔。十字弓框架具有发射甲板表面和位于发射甲板表面下方的联接杆。联接杆的尺寸适于与孔配合，并且联接杆与孔同轴且同心。弓把通过联接杆轴向联接到十字弓框架，弓组件具有用于射击投射体的第一位置和用于存放或运输的第二位置。在第一位置和第二位置，可以使用任何合适的装置来锁定弓组件和十字弓框架之间的角度定向，例如销、柱塞、弹簧、棘爪等。
