Abstract
A cut-on-contact broadhead having a ferrule and a plurality of deployable blades pivotally coupled to the ferrule. The ferrule includes a plurality of recesses, and at least one protrusion extending away from a surface of one or more of the plurality of recesses. Each of the plurality of blades includes a tip, an impact region, a first cutting edge, and a second cutting edge. During flight, the blades are in a fully retracted configuration forming a chisel tip having cutting edges defined at least in part by the first cutting edge of each blade. Upon impact, the plurality of blades are deployed into a swept-back configuration whereby the second cutting edges expand the bore initiated by the chisel tip.
Claims46
A broadhead, comprising a ferrule comprising:
- a distal end;
- a plurality of recesses extending proximally from proximate the distal end;
- and
- at least one protrusion extending away from a surface of at least one of the plurality of recesses;
- wherein, an outer edge of the at least one protrusion is configured as a cutting edge.
A broadhead, comprising:
- a ferrule comprising:
- a distal end;
- a plurality of recesses extending proximally from proximate the distal end;
- at least one protrusion extending away from a surface of at least one of the plurality of recesses;
- and
- a plurality of channels extending proximally from proximate the distal end, wherein each channel is disposed between adjacent recesses;
- and
- a plurality of deployable blades, wherein at least a portion of each blade is disposed within and is pivotally coupled to one of the plurality of channels, each blade comprising:
- a tip;
- an impact region;
- a first cutting edge extending from the tip to proximate the impact region;
- and
- a second cutting edge extending from the tip to proximate the channel to which the blade is pivotally coupled.
