  • Patent number: 10837743
    Abstract: An arrow head having two different movable blades with at least one blade interchangeably mounted in a pivotal or a fixed position with respect to a blade carrying body and a second blade that moves between a flight position and an impact position. A shaft is used to retain a corresponding blade in a pivotal or a fixed position with respect to a blade carrying body. When the blade is pivotally mounted, a bias force of a retaining member is preferably selected so that each blade remains in a normally closed position during flight of the arrow head and can quickly move to a fully open position upon impact or when a sufficient opening force is applied to the arrow head.

  • 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.
