Patent ID: 7360313

Claim:
A geared archery bow sight apparatus, comprising: (a) a mounting frame member having a first linear slot, a second linear slot in spaced relation parallel to the first linear slot, an enlarged aperture sized to receive a convex fixed gear member therein, and an arcuate recess with a stepped ledge sized to receive a screw head therein; (b) a linear slide member with first and second bushings slidably received in the first linear slot of the mounting frame member, and a third bushing slidably received in the second linear slot, the linear slide member with an elongated transverse aperture extending between the first and second bushings, and a plurality of apertures sized to receive a suitable fastening means therethrough; (c) an articulated cam member with an first aperture sized to receive a pivot arm therethrough, the articulated cam member further having a cam bushing extending therefrom near a second end, the cam bushing sized to be closely received in the elongated transverse aperture extending between the first and second bushings extending through the linear slide member, the articulated cam member further having a rotatable geared sprocket extending therefrom, the rotatable geared sprocket sized to engage the fixed teeth of the convex fixed gear member secured within the enlarged aperture in the mounting frame member, and a pin extending from near the first end of the articulated cam member; (d) a cylindrical handle connected to the geared sprocket through the articulated cam member, the cylindrical handle having an arcuate recess positioned to adjustably receive a locking knob therethrough, the cylindrical handle further having a knurled portion extending about the outer periphery of the cylindrical handle, with indicia located on an unknurled portion of the outer periphery of the cylindrical handle to align with the pin extending from the second end of the articulated cam member; (e) an optical mounting bracket secured to the linear slide member; and (f) a cylindrical bow site housing adjustably connected to the optical mounting bracket, the cylindrical bow site housing with a fiber optic bow sight centrally mounted therein; wherein rotation of the cylindrical handle, rotates the geared sprocket in relation to the convex fixed gear member, which biases the articulated cam member to slidably bias the linear slide member and the optical mounting bracket, to bias the circular bow sight housing to align the fiber optic sight in relation to the distance to a remote target.
