Archery Peep and Apparatus Constrictor

Abstract

The archery apparatus constrictor allows a peep sight or other device to be easily served into a bowstring or bow cable without requiring a professional. A user simply splits the bowstring or bow cable strands then inserts the archery apparatus with an associated device, guiding the bowstring in a channel alongside the apparatus. The offset pegs couple the constrictor tightly to the bowstring or bow cable applying minimal stress with minimal resultant wear. The attachment mechanism may be incorporated as a single unit into peep sights, knotting devices, cable weights or other devices of use to an archer or bow hunter. A standalone version may also be used to spread and then constrict cable strands to support other items. Though designed to meet the needs of an archer or bow hunter with regard to a bowstring or bow cable, the described mechanism is scalable for other uses as well.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An apparatus comprising:
 an archery cord constrictor having two parallel outside edges, wherein each of said parallel outside edges having a series of offset alternating projections extending outward from each of said parallel edges, wherein said alternating projections defining a travel path longitudinally along each outside edge for a strand of a bow cord such that said device is positionable between two split strands of the bow cord, said alternating projections being are positioned and configured to deflect one of said two split strands of the bow cord in a wave shape when tension is applied to said archery cord and thus securing said archery cord constrictor between said split strands of said bow cord.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein a peep body defining a peep aperture is positioned between said parallel outside edges. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 2  wherein said peep body is not parallel to said travel path. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein each of said projections is grooved for travel to define said travel path. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said projections extend perpendicular to said parallel edges. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein each of said projections comprise a groove on an inside surface of each of said projections for travel thereon of said bundle. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 6  wherein said groove is U-shaped. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said projections comprise pegs. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 5  wherein said pegs are grooved on an inside surface to define said travel path. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said archery cord constrictor comprises a knotting device having a knotting device body extending between said outside edges. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  9  wherein said knotting device body comprises at least one opening extending through said knotting device body. 
     
     
         12 . An archery bow cord constrictor positioned within an archery bow cord wherein:
 said archery bow cord comprising a plurality of strands forming said archery bow cord,   said archery cord string constrictor comprising two parallel sides comprising a first side and a second side being parallel along of length of each side, wherein said first side defining a first side strand travel path and said second side defining a second side strand travel path, wherein said plurality of strands of said archery bow cord is split at least a first strand of said plurality of strands is positioned in said first side strand travel path and at least a second strand of said plurality of strands is positioned within said second side strand travel path such that said cord string constrictor is positioned between said strands; and   wherein said bow cord constrictor comprising a series of alternating projections extending into each of said first side strand travel path and said second side strand travel path perpendicularly to said length such that each of said first strand and said second strand travel in a wave configuration through said first side strand travel path and said second side strand travel path respectively.   
     
     
         13 . The archery bow cord constrictor of  claim 2  further comprising a peep sight body defining a peep aperture positioned between said two opposite sides. 
     
     
         14 . A peep sight comprising:
 two parallel side edges having a series of offset projections extending outward from said parallel edges, said offset projections each defining a travel path for one bundle of fibers of a split bowstring such that said bundle of fibers travels through said travel path in a wave configuration;   a peep body positioned at least partially between said two parallel side edges, said peep body defining a peep aperture, said peep aperture configured for an archer to look through said peep aperture when said peep site is positioned in said bow string.   
     
     
         15 . The peep sight of  claim 14  where each of said projections comprises a peg. 
     
     
         16 . The peep sight of  claim 14  wherein each of said projections comprises a channel. 
     
     
         17 . The peep sight of  claim 16  wherein each of said channels is U-shaped. 
     
     
         18 . The peep sight of  claim 14  wherein said peep body is round. 
     
     
         19 . The peep sight of  claim 14  wherein said opposing edges comprise legs extending from said peep body.
