  • Patent number: 11383566
    Abstract: The claimed invention relates to a container assembly for applying grease to the ball of a trailer hitch. Specifically, the grease applicator comprises a lower housing with an upper concave surface and an upper housing with an upper concave surface further comprising at least one aperture. Grease is introduced between the upper concave surface of the lower housing and the upper concave surface of the upper housing such that when the two surfaces are pressed together grease is emitted from the at least one aperture in the upper concave surface.

  • Patent number: 10627197
    Abstract: A mechanical arrowhead or broadhead with pivoting blades that each pivot between an in-flight position and an impact position. One or more blades is each mounted within an opening of a body so that each blade pivots or otherwise moves with respect to the body. A stop element is secured directly to or with respect to the body. In the impact position, each blade contacts the stop element. In the in-flight position, each blade does not contact but rather is arranged or positioned away from the stop element.

  • Publication number: 20190154417
    Abstract: An expandable arrowhead having a blade-carrying body with a slot that houses at least one pivotally mounted blade. Each blade can be pivotally mounted about a shaft. In some embodiments, the shaft is fixed with respect to the body. In some embodiments of this invention, a spring element positively holds one or more blades in a closed position or a retracted position, particularly during extreme forces encountered when launching an arrow from an archery bow, such as a compound archery bow. The spring element of this invention can be used to improve blade opening capabilities of conventional blade-opening arrowheads or broadheads.

  • Publication number: 20190101368
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method for guiding or allowing movement of a line as the line travels along or with respect to a shaft, such as an arrow shaft or any other suitable similar shaft. A slide is movably mounted on an outer surface of the shaft. A body of the slide has a bore, such as a through-bore, to which the line can secured and thus travel, such as when discharging an arrow from an archery bow. A stop can be secured to the shaft and form a projection that can be used to prevent the slide from dismounting from the shaft.

  • Patent number: 8485923
    Abstract: A method for attaching a vane with respect to a shaft of an arrow or a crossbow bolt. The vane is attached to a tube or sleeve that is positionable over an outer surface of the shaft. The sleeve has an inner surface and the shaft has an outer surface. In an attached position of the vane with respect to the shaft, an adhesive is sprayed onto the inner surface or is otherwise positioned between and contacts at least a portion of the inner surface of the sleeve and at least a portion of the outer surface of the shaft.

  • Patent number: 8333369
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for holding a plurality of arrow shafts in alignment for applying a heat-shrinkable sleeve thereto. The apparatus includes a support and an arrow holding assembly for holding more than one arrow shaft relative to the support. An adjuster ring is moveable along the support to hold the sleeves in the desired positions on the shafts. The apparatus and method of this invention allows for consistent positioning of shrinkable sleeves around multiple arrow shafts and simultaneous shrinking of sleeves onto the multiple arrow shafts.

  • Patent number: 8147362
    Abstract: An archery arrowhead having a tip and a body with blade slots that each accept a blade. Each blade having a leading edge and an opposite trailing edge. The leading edge formed by a first cutting surface and a second cutting surface that diverge from each other in a rearward direction from the leading edge to the trailing edge. The first cutting surface and the second cutting surface forming a point, the point offset from a rearward edge of the tip.

  • Patent number: 7963279
    Abstract: An arrow rest that drops away or otherwise moves away from a discharging shaft of an arrow or another projectile. An arrow holder is operable between two support positions and a launch position. A support force is used to keep or maintain the arrow holder in the support position. A movement force can be transferred to the arrow holder for overcoming the support force and moving the arrow rest into a launch position, away from a discharging arrow shaft and the corresponding fletching.

  • Patent number: 7856968
    Abstract: An arrow rest that moves away from a shaft, such as an arrow shaft or a bolt shaft, when the shaft is discharged from a bow, such as an archery bow or a crossbow. An actuator moves between the load position and the discharge position. During movement of the actuator, one or more arms supporting and/or guiding the shaft move away from the shaft, such as to provide clearance for the shaft and/or any corresponding vanes, fletching and/or steering devices.
