Primary ExaminerLeonidas Vlachos Attorney, Agent, or Firm-Zarley, McKee & Thomte [57] ABSTRACT A sharpening device for sharpening arrowheads, knives and the like comprising a support block having a pair of spaced apart elongated grooves extending downwardly into the upper end thereof. Each of the grooves communicates with an elongated boreformed in the block. A sharpening means such as a file or the like is positioned in each of the bores and is disposed at an angle with respect to the upper end of the support block. The sharpening means are adapted to sharpen the arrowhead or the like upon the arrowhead being inserted downwardly into the groove and moved along the sharpening means. The grooves define a guide means to properly position the arrowhead in the proper attitude with respect to the sharpening means. A modified form of the sharpening device is disclosed and comprises a triangular shaped sharpening means positioned in a channel formed in the upper end of the support block. V
4 Claims, 4 Drawing Figures drawings, in which:
1 SHARPENING DEVICE BACKGROUND or THE INVENTION This invention relates to a sharpening device and more particularly to a sharpening device for sharpening arrowheads, knives, etc. It is frequently necessary to sharpen arrowheads, hunting knives, etc. in the field since the devices become dull during use thereof. Many sharpening devices have been previously designed but none of the previously available sharpening devices are convenient to use in the field or are convenient to carry in the field. Further, the conventional sharpening devices do not include means for properly positioning the arrowhead or knife with respect to the sharpening element so that the proper edge is formed thereon.
Therefore, it is a principal object of the invention to provide an improvedsharpening device.
A further object of the invention is to provide a sharpening device for use in field sharpening arrowheads, knives, etc.
A further object of the invention is to provide a sharpening device which is compact.
A further object of the invention is to provide a sharpening device which permits the sharpening element thereon to be easily replaced.
A further object of the invention is to provide a sharpening device having guide means thereon for properly positioning the member to be sharpened.
A further object of the invention is to provide a sharpening device which is economical in manufacture, durable in use and refined in appearance.
Theseand other objects will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
BRI F DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS This invention consists in the construction, arrangements and combination of the various parts of the device, whereby theobjects contemplated are attained as hereinafter more fully set forth, specifically pointed out in the claims, and illustrated in the accompanying FIG. 1 is a top perspective view of the sharpening device of this invention illustrating the manner in which an arrowhead is sharpened:
FIG. 2 is a sectional view seen along lines 2-2of FIG. 1:
FIG. 3 is an enlarged sectional view similar to FIG. 3 except that the opposite sharpening element is being employed; and f FIG. 4 is a sectional view similar to FIG. 2 except that a modified form of the invention is disclosed.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In FIGS. l-3, the numeral generally refers to the preferred embodiment of this invention. Sharpening device 10 comprises a support block 12 comprised of wood, plastic, etc. A pair of elongated grooves 14 and 16 extend downwardly into the upper end 18 of block 12 as illustrated in FIG. 2. Grooves 14 and 16 communicate with elongated bores and 17 respectively. Groove 14 is defined by a vertically disposed wall 20 and an inclined wall 22. Likewise, groove 16 is defined by a vertically disposed wall 24 and an inclined wall 26.
An elongated sharpening means 128 in the form of a file or the like is positioned in the groove 14 and is maintained against the inclined wall 22 and in the slot 29 by a screw 30 extending inwardly from one side of the block 12 as illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3. An elongated sharpening means 30 is positioned in the groove 16 and is maintained against the inclined wall 26 and in the slot v31 by means of a screw 32 extending inwardly from the other side of the block 12.
The numeral 34 refers generally to an arrowhead which may be sharpened as follows. The arrowhead 34 is first extended downwardly into the groove 16 so that one side of its cutting edge is in engagement with the file 30. The side of the arrowhead is placed in engagement with the wall 24 so that the cutting edge of the arrowhead is disposed at the proper angle with respect to the file 30. The arrowhead 34 is then pulled longitudinally in one direction on the file 26 to sharpen one side of the cutting edge (FIG. 1). When the one side of one cutting edge has been sharpened, the arrowhead 34 is placed in the groove 14 so as to sharpen the other side of the cutting edge as illustrated in FIG. 3. The arrow: head 34 is moved longitudinally in one direction on the file 28 until that side of the cutting edge is sharpened. The arrowhead 34 is then rotated 180 about the rotational axis of theshaft and the sharpening operation continued in both of the grooves 14 and 16 to sharpen the opposite side of the arrowhead. t
In FIG. 4, the numeral 10' generally designates a modified form of the sharpeningdevice. The numeral 36 refers to an elongated channel which is formed in the block 12 and which extends downwardly into the upper surface thereof. A triangular shaped sharpening device in form of a file or the like is positioned in the channel 36 and is referred to generally by the reference numeral 38. Shoulders 40 and 42 extend horizontally into the upper end of the channel 3 6 as seen in FIG. 4. The. arrowhead or knife may be sharpened by simply extending the cutting edge thereofdownwardly into the channel 36 on either side of the file 38 to sharpen the opposite sides of the cutting edges. The shoulders 40 and 42 are provided so that the arrowhead or knife can be placed thereagainst to position the cutting edge of the. knife or arrowhead in the proper attitude withrespect to the file38. The opposite sides of the file 38 should be disposed at approximately 22 with respect to the inner ends ofshoulders 40 and 42.'Likewise, the files 28 and 30 should be disposed at approximately 22 with respect to the walls 20 and 24 respectively.
Thus it can be seen that a compact sharpening device has been provided which efficiently sharpens arrowheads, hunting knives, et'c. The files in the devices are easily replaced as desired. It can therefore be seen that the devices accomplish all of their stated objectives.
l. A sharpening device comprising, a support means having anupper end, and an elongated cavity formed therein extending downwardly thereunto,
an elongated sharpening means in said cavity adapted to sharpen the cutting element of a member extending downwardly into said cavity, said cavity being defined by an elongated groove formed in the upper end of said support means and an elongated bore formed in said support :means below said groove and being in communication therewith, said groove having a vertically disposed wall and an inclined wall, said sharpening means being maintained adjacent said inclined wall, I
maintain said sharpening means in said cavity.
4. The device of claim 1 wherein a second cavity is formed in said support means spaced from the first mentioned cavity, and a second sharpening means in said second cavity, said sharpening means in said cavities being oppositely disposed with respect to each other.
