Abstract
A helical broadhead for an archery arrow includes a ferrule having a longitudinal axis with a tip end and an arrow end. Aligned forward and rearward slots are located in the ferrule generally parallel to the axis. At least two helical blade assemblies, each with an elongate cutting edge, spiral about the axis from a forward blade tang mounted in one forward slot to a rear tang mounted in a nonaligned, rearward slot. A chiseled tip having a sloping surface aligned with a helical blade assemblies may be attached to the tip end of the broadhead.
Description
- The present invention relates to an archery broadhead, and more particularly, to a broadhead with helical blades having elongate cutting edges which impart spin to the arrow in flight to increase accuracy, penetration and hemorrhaging of the target animal.
- A bow hunter's goal at all times is accurately place a shot in a killing zone of a big game animal with maximum penetration to establish excessive hemorrhaging and ultimately result in a quick kill and successful animal retrieval thereby avoiding excessive tracking efforts, prolonged pain and suffering to be experience by the animal.
- To achieve the hunter's goal, the archery industry has provided faster shooting and more powerful bows with increased percentage of “let off” allowing the hunter to hold the drawn bow longer while aiming. However, with faster and more powerful bows comes problems associated with the accuracy of arrow placement. One aspect to assist in arrow accuracy and stabilization has been the use of offset arrow feather fletching which brings a spin to the arrow to stabilize the arrow during flight and to increase its accuracy.
- Broadheads at the tip end of the arrow cut into the target animal to establish hemorrhaging as they pass through vital organs. These known conventional broadhead blades seriously impede the rotation of the arrow and may in fact cause the arrow to wobble and deflect offline.
- Expandable broadheads have been developed which maintain a narrow, low profile during flight. The expandable broadheads are effective if the hunter makes an ideal shot, including a successful projected shot angle to avoid bones. Bones cause the arrow to deflect and many times break the blade or divert the blade away from intended vital organs. Also, once the expanded broadhead has stopped, the blades tend to fold back to a non-cutting position, at which point the arrow is easily removed by the animal's mouth, running motion, or trail brush. This eliminates further organ damage and prolonged recovery of the wounded animal.
- U.S. Pat. No. 6,319,161 discloses an arrowhead having a plurality of cutting blades with spiral edges to collectively define a generally circular cutting envelope when the arrowhead rotates in flight. However, because the spiral blades have only the leading end locked down to the arrowhead, they appear to be fragile and may easily break upon impact with the target. This is because they lack appropriate strengthening connections between the forward and rearward blade components and are completely mounted within a single slot within the ferrule.
- U.S. Pat. No. 6,663,518 is similar to the '161 helical blade design, but less drastic. The individual blades have a rearwardly located slight airfoil shape which may slightly assist in rotating the blade but offer little assistance in penetration.
- There is a need for a broadhead with helical blades that impart spin to the arrow in flight but have improved strength and mounting characteristics that provide increased penetration into the target animal which results in massive tissue destruction and hemorrhaging without breakage caused by hitting bone structures.
- A helical broadhead for an archery arrow includes a ferrule having a longitudinal axis with a tip end and an arrow end. Aligned forward and rearward slots are located in the ferrule generally parallel to the axis. At least two helical blade assemblies, each with an elongate cutting edge, spiral about the axis from a forward blade tang mounted in one forward slot to a rear tang mounted in a nonaligned, rearward slot. A chiseled tip having a sloping surface aligned with a helical blade assemblies may be attached to the tip end of the broadhead.
- A principle object and advantage of the present invention is that it provides for maximum penetration with a target drawing force to create excessive hemorrhaging caused by the spiraling elongate cutting blades causing a more efficient mortal wound.
- Another object and advantage of the present invention is that it provides for a quick kill, successful retrieval, avoiding prolonged pain and suffering, and permits the avoidance of the long tracking process.
- Another object and advantage of the present invention is that it provides accurate flight pattern caused by aggressive rotating of the broadhead due to the rifling design thereof.
- Another object and advantage of the present invention is that the broadhead is self-penetrating and drawing inwardly which will avoid bone deflection and actually will draw the arrow through the target animal.
- Another object and advantage of the present invention is that it provides for minimal friction with continuous cutting through the spiraling drawing energy action of the broadhead.
- Another object and advantage of the present invention is that the broadhead spiraling or auger rotation effect reduces broadhead energy loss typical with known arrow shaft friction and torque.
- Another object and advantage of the present invention is the improved accuracy in that the broadhead assists the fletching to encourage shaft rotation.
- Another object and advantage of the present invention is that its aerodynamic flight imparted to an arrow due rotation and rifling effects of the broadhead encourages precision, accuracy of the arrow placement, optimum velocity and penetration.
- Another object and advantage of the present invention is that it allows the archer to reduce the bow draw pulling poundage due to increased arrow velocity, accuracy and broadhead penetration.
- Another object and advantage of the present invention is the increased length of the cutting edges of the broadhead while maintaining flight dynamics and optimum penetration without blade breakage of deflection typical of expanding mechanical broadheads.
- Another object and advantage of the present invention is that the broadhead point assists in rotation or spiraling along with penetration by its auger rotating design.
- Another object and advantage of the present invention is that the broadhead forms a large circular profile hole wound for profuse bleeding and exit channel versus the simple slits of a conventional broadhead.
- Another object and advantage of the present invention is that it reduces windage and elevational errors during flight.
- Another object and advantage of the present broadhead is that its blade assemblies have improved strength with cross-connection bridges unlike prior spiral cutting blades.

FIG. 5 is a top plan view of the field tip ofFIG. 4 . - Referring to
FIGS. 1 and 2 , thebroadhead 100 of the present invention generally may be appreciated mounted onarrow 90 by way of threadedinsert 92. Broadhead 100 generally includes atip 105 mounted on theferrule 102 havingblade mounting slots 109 in which is secured theblade assemblies 114 held in place byretention collar 112. - More specifically, broadhead 100 includes a
longitudinal axis 101 running the length thereof. A body orferrule 102 has atip end 103 with a threadedlongitudinal aperture 104 shown inFIG. 3 . A broadhead trocar, point ortip 105 is secured into the threadedaperture 104 by way of the threaded shank boss orshaft 106 threaded into the longitudinal threadedaperture 104 at thetip end 103. - At the
arrow end 107 of theferrule 102 is located a threadedmounting stub 108.Blade mounting slots 109 are suitably located longitudinally and generally parallel with theaxis 101 along the length of theferrule 102. A slot pocket orforward slot portion 110 is located in thetip end 103 and aretention collar 112 is suitably located to close the rear portion of theslots 109. -
Spiraling blade assemblies 114 may be seen inFIGS. 1 through 3 . Eachblade assembly 112 includes an elongate spiralingcutting edge 115 beginning at first orforward blade portion 120whereat mounting tang 121 is located. From this first portion of 120 theblade assembly 114 spirals about theaxes helical portion 122. From there, theblade assembly 114 continues to spiral about the axes to a thirdrear portion 124 whereat amounting tang 126 is located. Extending from theforward portion 120 to the third orrear portion 124 is located a bridge orcross-connection 128 which adds strength and stability to theblade assemblies 114. -
FIG. 3 shows a slightly modifiedbroadhead 100A with many similar components of thebroadhead 100 ofFIGS. 1 and 2 . This embodiment includes ahollow ferrule sleeve 130 that slideably rotates on ferrule 102A.Slip washers 134 are slid over the ferrule body 102A at thetip end 103 andarrow end 107 which holdtangs blade assemblies 114. By this arrangement, the blade assemblies 114 andferrule sleeve 130 are permitted to freely rotate which may be desirable. A number of arrangements allowing free rotation of an arrowhead with respect to an arrow shaft are known in the art, particularly as disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,257,809; 4,175,749; and 4,534,568, all of which are incorporated herein by reference. - A second
broadhead tip embodiment 140 assists inbroadhead 100A rotation aboutaccess 142. The broadhead tip ortrocar 140 has a cut outportion 144 from left to right downwardly to create aslope 146 and a pullingedge 148. By this arrangement, slopingsurface 146 assists in rotation of thebroadhead 100A along with thearrow 90 in the same rotational fashion asblade assemblies 114 as shown in arrow A aboutaxis 142. The pullingedge 148 pulls thetip 140 forward through the animal and through bone as it rotates at great speed, again, assisting theblade assemblies 114. -
FIGS. 4 and 5 show aarchery field tip 150 similarly cut to thebroadhead tip 140.Field tip 150 rotates aboutaxis 152 and has a cut outportion 154 creating aslope 156 and suitably a pullingedge 158 all of which assist in rotation of thefield tip 150 and arrow aboutaxis 152 as shown with arrow B. - The operation of
broadhead 100 may now be appreciated. For assembly, theforward tang 121 ofplate assembly 114 is inserted intoslot pocket 110. Therear tang 126 of theblade assembly 114 is mounted in an adjacent but not aligned rearblade mounting slot 109. Two other blades are similarly assembled after which aretention collar 112 is secured over therear tangs 126. It will be appreciated that the bridgingcross-connection 128 adds strength to theblade assemblies 114 as the bridge rests on top of the ferrule orbody 102. Next the broadhead is inserted into the threadedinsert 92 of thearrow 90 andbroadhead 100 is ready for use. -
FIG. 3 shows a slight variation wherein theferrule sleeve 130 with the captured front andrear tangs blade assemblies 114 are caught and held byslip washers 134 after which the threaded mountingstub 108 of the ferrule 102A may be mounted into the threadedinsert 92. Thereafter thebroadhead 100A is ready for use. -
FIGS. 4 and 5 show afield tip 150 which has similar rotating characteristics asbroadheads field tip 150 is mounted onto anarrow 90 by threading into the threadedinsert 92, thefield tip 150 andarrow 90 may be shot. As the air rushes over thesloping surface 156 of thefield tip 150, thetip 150 and arrow rotate aboutaxis 152 as shown by way of arrow B. Optionally, the pullingedge 158 may be used where desirable to pull thefield tip 150 into the target. - The present invention in the above specification and referenced figures are for illustrative purposes only. The true scope of the present invention may be learned from the following claims as the specification is for illustrative purposes only.
