Abstract
Insert-outsert devices and methods of using those devices to attach an arrowhead to an arrow shaft. The insert-outsert device can be inserted into an arrow shaft, and a threaded end of an arrowhead can be screwed through a hollow threaded portion of the outsert and into the insert. The device structurally reinforces the arrow at a region of connection between the arrow shaft and arrowhead, reducing the likelihood that the arrow shaft will buckle or break under the axial and/or bending forces exerted when an arrow strikes a target.
Claims30
A device for attaching an arrowhead to an arrow shaft, comprising:
- an outsert comprising a hollow threaded portion;
- and
- a cylindrical insert comprising a hollow portion.
A method for manufacturing a device for attaching an arrowhead to an arrow shaft, comprising:
- injection molding a polymer into an outsert comprising a hollow threaded portion, a first hollow cylindrical portion on a first side of the hollow threaded portion, and a second hollow cylindrical portion on a second side of the hollow threaded portion,
- wherein the injection-molded polymer forms a cylindrical insert bonded to an interior of the second hollow cylindrical portion of the outsert.
A method for attaching an arrowhead to an arrow shaft, comprising:
- inserting a cylindrical insert into the arrow shaft;
- inserting the arrow shaft into a first hollow cylindrical portion of an outsert;
- inserting the arrowhead into a second hollow cylindrical portion of the outsert;
- screwing a threaded portion of the arrowhead into a hollow threaded portion of the outsert.
A method for attaching an arrowhead to an arrow shaft, comprising:
- inserting the arrow shaft into a first hollow cylindrical portion of an outsert, the first hollow cylindrical portion of the outsert containing an injection-molded polymer insert;
- inserting the arrowhead into a second hollow cylindrical portion of the outsert;
- and
- screwing a threaded portion of the arrowhead into a hollow threaded portion of the outsert.
