  • Patent number: 5730020
    Abstract: An apparatus for straightening arrowheads is designed to be used to straighten bent arrowheads so that the arrowheads, once straightened, may later be used in archery activities. To straighten a bent arrowhead, one removes or retracts any blades of the arrowhead (if possible) and attaches the arrowhead to a rotatable shaft. The rotatable shaft is free to rotate through the shaft aperture in the shaft housing, and the shaft housing is attached to the base of the device. To straighten the arrowhead, one applies pressure to the high side of the tip end of the arrowhead and, if desired, rotates the rotatable shaft so that the pressure is evenly applied to the high side of the tip end. The apparatus employs a pressure screw and a pressure band to effectively apply pressure to the arrowhead.
