Abstract
An arrowhead case and arrowhead wrench. Both the arrowhead case and the arrowhead wrench include rib members. The rib members grippingly engage a shaft of an arrowhead between its blades and maintain the arrowhead in a predetermined position.
Claims6
A protective case for arrowheads, each arrowhead having a central shank, a plurality of radially-extending blades and a tip, comprising, in combination:
- a base adapted to receive said arrowheads, said base having
- a bottom wall,
- a side wall, defining a rim,
- an internal wall dividing said base into arrowhead compartments, and
- two pairs of opposed rib members within each of said compartments, each rib being disposed at approximately 90.degree. to adjacent ribs and terminating in an inner edge to grippingly engage said shank of said arrowhead between said blades, whereby said arrowhead is retained within said compartment, isolated from other arrowheads in the case thereby avoiding dulling of said tip and said blades;
- and
- a cover adapted to receive and enclose said base and the arrowheads therein, said cover including
- an offset peripheral portion defining an interior ledge, said rim of said base abutting said interior ledge when the case is closed to resist a compressing force applied to said case, and
- a transverse rib which is aligned and abuts said internal dividing wall, thereby further increasing the resistance of the case to compression forces.
6 more elements
A wrench for use with an arrowhead having a central shank and a plurality radially-extending blades comprising, in combination:
- a cylindrical housing of substantially square cross section having two pairs of opposing rib members attached to the walls of said housing and terminating in an inner edge to grippingly engage said shank of said arrowhead between said blades, whereby a torsional force manually applied to said housing is transferred to said arrowhead retained within said housing.
