Abstract
Rear-deploying mechanical broadheads may be provided having stationary blades that open only through movement of a drive pin/key secured within a slot or chamber in the body of the broadhead. The drive pin/key may act as bleeder blades, thereby forming a mechanical broadhead with bleeder blades. The stationary blades may be pinned to the tip of the broadhead through blade pins, thereby keeping the blades stationary during flight toward a target and lessening the likelihood that the broadhead may be errant in its movement toward a target.
Claims17
A rear-deploying mechanical broadhead comprising:
- a tip coupled to a body, wherein a slot is disposed within the body, the slot having a closed position and an open position, wherein the closed position is located closer in proximity to the tip than the open position;
- stationary blades pinned to the tip;
- and
- a drive key disposed within the slot and not connected to the stationary blades or the tip, wherein the tip has a hollow area wherein the stationary blades rest when the drive key is in the closed position, and
- wherein the drive key pushes the stationary blades open when the drive key moves to the open position.

A rear-deploying mechanical broadhead comprising:
- blades disposed diametrically opposite each other along a longitudinal axis of a body;
- a drive key slot disposed within the body, the slot slidably receiving a free-floating drive key, the drive key having a flat portion that slides up and down within the slot and a round portion that inserts into a drive key slot within the blades;
- and
- a tip coupled to the body, the tip having a hollow area in which the blades rest when the drive key is in a closed position within the drive key slot,
- wherein the blades open and lock in place when the drive key is moved into an open position within the drive key slot.
