Adjustable Archery Arrow Insert
The Adjustable Archery Arrow Insert is a three-piece arrow tip attached to an arrow shaft and includes an arrow tip insert, an arrow tip collar, and an arrow tip. The arrow tip insert is threadably received by the arrow tip collar and is attached to the arrow shaft, where the arrow tip is inserted within, and the arrow tip collar overlaps, the arrow shaft. The arrow by is inserted through the arrow tip collar and attached directly to the arrow tip insert without protruding into the arrow shaft. Sections of the arrow tip insert may be removed to adjust the overall weight of the arrow. The Adjustable Archery Arrow Insert transfers the impact forces of the arrow tip to the arrow tip insert and arrow tip collar, where the forces are transferred over a larger area thereby minimizing the forces on front edge of the arrow shaft.

FIELD OF INVENTIONThe present invention relates generally to archery. The present invention is more particularly, though not exclusively, related to arrow tip inserts utilized to removably attach arrow tips to an arrow shaft.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONAn arrow includes an arrow shaft having a tip, a nock, and fletching. Traditionally, arrow tips are mounted directly to the arrow shaft. Arrow tips have a point with a protruding stud, where the stud is inserted and fixedly attached within the arrow shaft as the point rests on the front edge of the arrow shaft. There are several disadvantages to these traditional arrow tips and their method of attachment. A particular disadvantage of directly mounting the arrow tips to the arrow shafts is that they are typically permanently affixed to the arrow shafts. This inhibits the user from changing between different tips for use on the arrow shaft. Additionally, if the arrow shaft breaks the tip would not be able to be reused with an alternative arrow shaft. Another disadvantage is that the arrow tip delivers a majority of the impact forces to the front edge of the arrow shaft thereby damaging it. Particularly in carbon fiber arrow shafts, the forces of the by on the arrow shaft eventually degrades the epoxy resulting in the fraying of the individual carbon fibers. In order to overcome these disadvantages, arrow tip inserts have been created with varying results.
Arrow tip inserts have been created to overcome the disadvantages of directly mounting an arrow tip to the arrow shaft. Arrow by inserts typically have a body formed with a bore to receive an arrow tip. The body is further formed with a protruding stud to mount the arrow tip insert to the arrow shaft. The bore can be further formed with threads to threadably receive arrow bps. This enables a user to switch arrow tips by unthreading the tip from the insert. Alternative arrow tip inserts are further formed with a circumferential groove on the body adjacent the stud to accept the arrow shaft walls, thereby forming a collar around the arrow shaft walls. The arrow tip stud is inserted into the arrow shaft and the front-edge of the arrow shaft contacts the insert. This arrangement enhances the strength of the connection between the arrow tip insert and the arrow shaft by having the tip of the arrow shaft inserted within the circumferential groove and overlapped by the collar. However, in both cases, the majority of the impact is still absorbed by the front edge of the arrow shaft thereby leading to eventual failure of the front edge arrow of the shaft after periods of use.
An alternative arrow tip insert has been created with the aim to overcome the disadvantages of the arrow tip insert as mentioned above. In this particular prior art embodiment, the arrow tip insert is a cylindrical rod having an internal threaded bore at one end and circumferential grooves formed on the exterior of the cylindrical rod adjacent the opposite end. The cylindrical rod is dimensioned to be fully inserted and enclosed within the arrow shaft and fixedly attached. The arrow tip having a point formed with a stud, the stud having a threaded portion, is threadably received by the internal threaded bore of the arrow tip insert. As the arrow tip is threaded onto the arrow tip insert, the stud contacts the side wails and the point contacts the front edge of the arrow shaft. Although the arrow tip is removable, the majority of the impact forces from the arrow tip remains concentrated on the front edge of the arrow shaft. Although the disadvantages of the traditional arrow tip and arrow shaft have been addressed by the prior art, the prior art has failed to create a solution to overcome all of the disadvantages.
In light of the above, it would be advantageous to provide an arrow with an arrow tip, arrow tip insert, and arrow tip collar having the ability to dampen the impact of the arrow tip to the front edge of the arrow shaft. It would further be advantageous to provide an arrow tip with the ability to be removably attached to an arrow shaft. It would further be advantageous to provide an arrow tip removably attached to an arrow shaft in which the arrow tip does not protrude within the bore of the arrow shaft, completely removing the arrow tip from being inserted into the bore of the arrow shaft.
SUMMERY OF THE INVENTIONThe Adjustable Archery Arrow Insert is utilized on an arrow having an arrow tip to transfer the impact forces experienced by the arrow tip to the Adjustable Archery Arrow Insert, wherein the Adjustable Archery Arrow Insert transfers the force over a larger area thereby dampening the force experienced by the front edge of the arrow shaft, The Adjustable Archery Arrow Insert includes a three piece arrow tip having an arrow tip insert, an arrow tip collar, and an arrow tip. The arrow tip insert is fixedly attached to the arrow shaft bore by the use of adhesives. The arrow tip collar is mechanically coupled to the arrow tip insert. The arrow tip is fitted within the collar and attached directly to the arrow tip insert, wherein the forces experienced by the arrow tip are absorbed by the arrow tip insert and dispersed to the collar and the arrow shaft. Furthermore, the arrow tip is located completely outside of the arrow shaft and does not protrude within the arrow shaft bore.
The weight of the Adjustable Archery Arrow Insert is adjustable to meet the specifications desired of an arrow. The arrow tip insert is constructed with a plurality of circumferential grooves spaced evenly apart. The section defined between each circumferential groove has a predetermined weight and may be removed from the arrow tip insert to control the weight of the arrow by insert and the overall weight of the Adjustable Archery Arrow Shaft. Furthermore, the three pieces of the Archery Arrow Shaft Insert are interchangeable with alternative versions of the three pieces of the Archery Arrow Shaft Insert which may be constructed lighter or heavier, This allows another degree of weight adjustability.
The Adjustable Archery Arrow Insert of the present invention provides an arrow tip attached directly to an arrow tip insert which removes and locates the arrow tip outside of the arrow shaft, eliminating direct contact of the arrow tip with the front edge and walls of the arrow shaft. This allows the arrow tip to transfer all the impact forces to the arrow tip insert which subsequently transfers the forces to the collar and arrow shaft, minimizing the amount of force absorbed by the front edge of the arrow shaft.
The nature, objects, and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent to those skilled in the art after considering the following detailed description in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which like reference numerals designate like parts throughout, and wherein:

The arrow tip 120 is removably attached to the arrow tip insert 130 through the use of threads, allowing the removal of arrow tip 120 from the arrow tip insert 130. However, it is contemplated that the use of a friction fit or adhesive may be used for a permanent attachment. The assembled arrow tip 120 and arrow tip insert 130 is slid through the arrow tip collar 110 whereby the arrow tip insert 130 is threaded into the arrow tip collar 110. The arrow tip insert 130 is then inserted into the internal bore 103 of the arrow shaft 102 and fixedly attached. Alternatively, before attaching the arrow tip 120 to the arrow tip insert 130, the arrow tip insert 130 may be slid through the arrow tip collar 110 whereby the arrow tip insert 130 is threaded into the arrow tip collar 110. The arrow tip insert 130 is then inserted into the internal bore 103 of the arrow shaft 102 and fixedly attached. Subsequently, the arrow tip 120 may then be removably attached to the arrow tip insert 130 through the use of threads, allowing the removal of arrow tip 120 from the arrow by insert 130 in circumstances where it is desirous to switch the arrow tip 120 to an alternative arrow tip 120.
Referring now to
Further, the weight of the arrow tip insert 130 may be adjusted by breaking off portions of the cylindrical stud 135 at each circumferential groove 136 upon the application of a predetermined force. Each section of the cylindrical stud 135 between two circumferential grooves 136 are predetermined to have a certain weight, for example each section may weigh between 1.0 grain and 3.0 grains. This allows the precise weight control of the arrow tip insert 130 by removing as much or as lithe of the cylindrical stud 135 as desired. Additionally, the interior bore 142 may be filled with a material to add additional weight to the arrow tip insert 130. By varying the weight of the arrow tip insert 130, a user may adjust the weight of the Adjustable Archery Arrow Insert 101 and ultimately the arrow 100. Additionally, the adhesive used to attach the arrow tip insert 130 to the arrow shaft 102 allows the insert 130 to be removed thus allowing the arrow tip insert 130 to be interchangeable for an alternative arrow tip insert 130 having a different weight, allowing the Adjustable Archery Arrow Insert 101 an additional degree of weight adjustability.

The arrow tip 120 is threadably attached to the arrow tip insert 130 through the use of threads, allowing the tip 120 to be removed from the arrow tip insert 130 and collar 120. The external threads 128 of the arrow tip 120 is threadably received by the internal threads 138 of the arrow tip insert 130 forming an arrow tip with an elongated insert. The mechanically coupled arrow tip 120 and arrow tip insert 130 is slid through the collar 110 where the external threads 132 of the arrow tip insert 130 is threadably received by the internal threads 118 of the collar 110. The cylindrical stud 135 of arrow tip insert 120 is inserted into the internal bore 103 of the arrow shaft 102 and fixedly attached by the use of adhesives, It is contemplated that other methods of attachment may be used. The arrow shaft 102 is inserted within an annular channel 117 created by the second bore 116 of the collar 110 and the cylindrical stud 135, confining the arrow shaft 102 between the body 112 of collar 110 and the cylindrical stud 135 of the arrow tip insert 130. Further, the front edge of the arrow shaft 102 comes into contact with the ledge 113.
Alternatively, before attaching the arrow tip 120 to the arrow tip insert 130, the arrow tip insert 130 may be slid through the arrow tip collar 110 whereby the arrow tip insert 130 is threaded into the arrow tip collar 110. The external threads 132 of the arrow tip insert 130 is threadably received by the internal threads 118 of the collar 110, The cylindrical stud 135 of arrow tip insert 120 is inserted into the internal bore 103 of the arrow shaft 102 and fixedly attached by the use of adhesives, The arrow shaft 102 is inserted within the gap created by the second bore 116 of the collar 110, confining the arrow shaft 102 between the body 112 of collar 110 and the cylindrical stud 135 of the arrow tip insert 130, The arrow tip 120 may then be removably attached to the arrow tip insert 130. The external threads 128 of the arrow tip 120 is threadably received by the internal threads 138 of the arrow tip insert 130, allowing the removal of arrow tip 120 from the arrow tip insert 130 in circumstances where it is desirous to switch the arrow tip 120 to an alternative arrow tip 120.
Due to the fact that the arrow tip 110 is mechanically coupled to the arrow by insert 130 and not to the arrow tip collar 110, the axial forces experienced by the arrow tip 120 is transferred to the arrow tip insert 130 which is transferred to arrow shaft 102 as a shear force. The arrow by insert 130 also transfers force to the collar 110 which transfers the force to the front edge of the arrow shaft 102 as a compressive force. The anchored surface between the cylindrical stud 135 and the arrow shaft 102 provides a large surface area in which the shear force is distributed. This allows the distribution of the axial force from the arrow tip 120 as shear forces to a larger area, minimizing the force absorbed by any one particular point. By dispersing the force of impact across a larger area, the front-edge impact is minimized. The collar 110 also provides lateral support for the arrow tip 110.
In an alternative embodiment, the arrow tip collar 110 is further elongated to allow the formation of an elongated secondary bore 116, the secondary bore 116 having uniform diameter 117 sized to closely fit around the exterior of the arrow shaft 102. This allows the arrow tip collar 110 to enclose a larger portion of the arrow shaft 102. In the alternative embodiment, the cylindrical stud 135 of arrow tip insert 130 is formed with a taper tapering from a larger diameter adjacent the stud head 132 to the smaller diameter 144 at the opposite end. The taper angle of the cylindrical stud 135 is minimal allowing the arrow tip insert 130 to be inserted into the arrow shaft bore 103 a predetermined distance before the taper of the cylindrical stud 135 creates an interference fit with the arrow shaft 103.
The complete insertion of the arrow tip insert 130 with the cylindrical stud 135 having the taper is designed to slightly expand the arrow shaft 102, However, because the arrow tip collar 110 is placed over the arrow shaft 102, the arrow shaft 102 does not expand to the point where the physical integrity of the arrow shaft 102 is compromised. The arrow tip collar 110 maintains the size of the arrow shaft 102 within ideal tolerances to maintain its structural integrity. However, slight expansion of the arrow shaft 102 due to the arrow tip insert 130 compresses the arrow shaft walls 102 between the secondary bore 116 of the arrow tip collar 110 and the exterior of the cylindrical stud 135, anchoring the assembly onto the arrow shaft 102.
The arrow tip 120 is threadably received by the arrow tip insert 130, with the base 124 contacting the front edge of the arrow tip collar body 112. Due to the fact that the arrow tip 110 is mechanically coupled to the arrow tip insert 130 and not to the arrow tip collar 110, the axial forces experienced by the arrow tip 120 is transferred to the arrow tip insert 130 which is then transferred to arrow shaft 102 as a shear force. The arrow tip insert 130 transfers minimal forces to the collar 110 which transfers the force to the front edge of the arrow shaft 102 as a compressive force. The anchored surface between the cylindrical stud 135 and the arrow shaft 102 provides a large surface area in which the shear force is distributed. This allows the distribution of the axial force from the arrow tip 120 as shear forces to a larger area, minimizing the force absorbed by any one particular point. By dispersing the force of impact across a larger area, the front-edge impact is minimized. The collar 110 also provides lateral support for the arrow tip 110.

Further, the weight of the arrow tip insert 210 may be adjusted by breaking off portions of the cylindrical stud 118 at each circumferential groove 230 upon the application of a predetermined force. Each section of the cylindrical stud 218 between two circumferential grooves 230 are predetermined to have a certain weight, This allows the precise weight control of the arrow tip insert 130 by removing as much or as little of the cylindrical stud 118 as desired. By varying the weight of the arrow tip insert 210, a user may adjust the weight of the Adjustable Archery Arrow Insert 201 and ultimately the arrow 100. Additionally, the adhesive used to attach the arrow tip insert 210 to the arrow shaft 102 allows the arrow tip insert 210 to be removed thus allowing the arrow tip insert 210 to be interchangeable for an alternative arrow tip insert 210 having a different weight, allowing the Adjustable Archery Arrow Insert 201 an additional degree of weight adjustability.

The threaded bore 252 corresponds to the external threads 228 of the arrow tip insert 210, allowing the arrow tip collar 240 to threadably receive arrow tip insert 210. The diameter 250 of the first internal bore 248 allows the arrow tip insert 210 to pass without obstruction to the threaded bore 252.
The arrow tip 270 has a point 272 with a base 274 with diameter 275. Extending from the base 274 is a cylindrical stud 278 having diameter 225 and formed with a circumferential groove 280 with diameter 281. Diameter 279 of cylindrical stud 278 is smaller than diameter 275 of base 274 thereby creating a shoulder 276 between the transition from the base 274 to the cylindrical stud 278. Further formed on the cylindrical stud 278, adjacent the circumferential groove 280 opposite point 272, are threads 282 corresponding to the threaded bore 224 of the arrow shaft insert 210. The first internal bore 248 and threaded bore 252 of the collar 240 is dimensioned larger than the cylindrical stud 278 creating a slight clearance between the parts and prevents the cylindrical stud 278 from damaging the threads of threaded bore 252 of the collar 210, where the diameters 250 and 254 is larger than diameter 225.
