Patent number: 9857153Abstract: A broadhead with dynamic blades that deploy upon impact with an animal includes a body defining an interior area. A pair of trigger blades is rotatably mounted inside the interior area and movable between an initially deployed configuration extending outwardly away from the side wall and a rotated configuration. A pair of dynamic blades is rotatably mounted inside the interior area and movable between a retracted configuration completely inside the interior area and an extended configuration extending outwardly from the body. A ring associated with the body is slidably movable between a flight configuration positioned proximate the front end of the body that prevents the dynamic blades from moving to the deployed configuration and an actuated configuration displaced from the front end that actuates the trigger blades to move the dynamic blades to the extended configuration.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2017Date of Patent: January 2, 2018Inventor: Christopher Redline

Patent number: 9683819Abstract: A broadhead arrowhead having fully retractable blades wherein a plunger of the tip of the arrowhead causes the blades to shear a shear pin and deploy when the arrowhead strikes a target. In an alternative embodiment, the blades are retained in the arrowhead by a friction fit that is overcome to deploy the blades when the arrowhead strikes a target.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2016Date of Patent: June 20, 2017Inventor: Howard Andrew Buchanan

Patent number: 9605933Abstract: An expandable broadhead includes a number of fixed blades cumulating in a point, with each of the fixed blades having a channel for receiving a cammable deployable expansion blade, with the expansion blade having a slot which cooperates with a fixed retaining pin transverse to the channel that cams the deployable blade outwardly when a forward impact shoulder of the deployable blade strikes a target. This moves the blade relative to the fixed retaining pin and thus cams the deployable blade out to an expanded position for maximum blade cutting edge contact to effectuate maximum damage to the target and a quick kill.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2015Date of Patent: March 28, 2017Assignee: FeraDyne Outdoors, LLCInventor: William E. Pedersen

Patent number: RE49938Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure include a mechanical broadhead for use with an archery bow and arrow. In certain arrangements, a broadhead is provided that maintains the cutting blades in a retracted or closed position during flight of the arrow. Upon target contact, the blades expand outwardly from the closed position.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2021Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Bear Archery, Inc.Inventor: Robert Mizek
