BROAD HEAD ARROWHEAD
Abstract
A broad head arrowhead having two substantially flat, opposite
surfaces converging toward a point; the surfaces being separated by
a tapered cylinder in the center of the arrowhead for the reception
of a shaft; a first side of the one flat surface extending beyond a
first side of the second flat surface and a second side of the
second flat surface extending beyond the second side of the first
flat surface providing air pressures for causing rotation and
stability.

Claims
The invention claimed is:
1. A broad head arrowhead comprising:
first and second flat surfaces tapering to a common point, each of
said flat surfaces having two tapering cutting edges, each of said
first and second surfaces has one edge extending beyond an edge of
the other said first and second surfaces; and
a tapered cylinder separating said first and second surfaces.
Description
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a broad head arrowhead and more
particularly to a broad head arrowhead utilizing four cutting edges
on two converging flat surfaces.
According to the invention, a broad head arrowhead is provided
having two converging flat surfaces resulting in a broad head with
four cutting edges and essentially two blades. This unique
construction results in a stabilizing spin to the arrow as it
passes from the bow to the target. It also presents maximum cutting
with minimum resistance at the target, itself, which is especially
important in hunting game.
An object of the present invention is the provision of a broad head
arrowhead having a minimum of resistance to travel and penetration,
together with maximum stability.
Yet another object of the invention is the provision of a broad
head arrowhead which is inexpensive to manufacture and extremely
effective in use.
Other objects and many of the attendant advantages of this
invention will be readily appreciated as the same becomes better
understood by reference to the following detailed description when
considered in connection with the accompanying drawing in which
like reference numerals designate like parts throughout the FIGS
thereof and wherein:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the preferred embodiment of the
invention;
FIG. 2 is a top view of the embodiment of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a end view of the embodiment of FIG. 1; and
FIG. 4 is a side view of the embodiment of FIG. 1.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
Referring to FIG. 1, the broad head arrowhead of the present
invention is shown having a top surface 8 and a bottom surface 9
converging toward a point 10. Top surface 8 has one edge 11
extending beyond bottom surface 9 and bottom surface 9 has one edge
12 extending beyond top surface 8. Top surface 8 and bottom surface
9 are separated by a tapered cylinder 16 for the reception of an
arrow shaft therein.
Referring to FIG. 2, edge 12 of bottom member 9 is shown extending
beyond top member 8 and edge 11 of top member 8 is shown extending
beyond edge 18 of bottom member 9.
Referring to FIG. 3, an end view is shown with tapered bore 16 for
the reception of an arrow shaft therein. Shown also are sides 13
and 14 of tapered cylinder 16. Surfaces 19 and 21, due to their
tapers and convergence, create air pressures causing rotation of
the arrow in flight.
Referring to FIG. 4, a side view is shown showing side 13, top
member 8, bottom member 9, and point 10.
OPERATION
Referring now to all of the FIGS of the drawing, in operation it
can be seen that outside surfaces of members 8 and 9 will present a
minimum of resistance to the air while providing four cutting
edges. The extensions of edges 11 and 12 beyond bottom surfaces 9
and 8, respectively, set up air pressures which result in a
rotation of the arrow in flight and, at the same time, lend
stability due to the flat surfaces separating the cutting edges.
This construction allows the arrow to be utilized with lighter bows
and has the advantage that all edges can be sharpened, when
required.
It should be understood, of course, that the foregoing disclosure
relates to only a preferred embodiment of the invention and that it
is intended to cover all changes and modifications of the example
of the invention herein chosen for the purposes of the disclosure
which do not constitute departures from the spirit and scope of the
invention.
