US 4,957,095 A · Archery bow stabilizer and embedded arrowhead remover

Abstract

A combination archery bow stabilizer and embedded arrowhead extractor having an elongated shaft with an enlarged head at one end and an elongated weight having a central bore extending therethrough in which the shaft is inserted in one direction for use as a stabilizer with the opposite end of the shaft extending from the weight and threaded for mounting in a bow mounting socket. When used as an embedded arrowhead extractor the shaft is reversed in the weight bore. The bore diameter at one end is large enough for the shaft head to slide therethrough to impact against an internal radial shoulder in the weight. The opposite end of the shaft includes a threaded internal bore for coupling to an arrowhead stem whereby reciprocating sliding motion of the weight against the shaft head functions as a slide hammer to remove the embedded arrowhead. A mounting socket in the shaft enlarged head enables additional accessories to be mounted to the bow in series with the stabilizer utilizing a single bow mounting socket.

Dependent claims

An archery bow stabilizer and embedded arrowhead extractor comprising:

an elongated shaft having an enlarged head at one end thereof;
a weight surrounding said shaft and having a bore extending longitudinally therethrough, said bore having a first portion with a diameter larger than said shaft and smaller than said enlarged head and a second portion with a diameter larger than the enlarged head to enable said head to slide through said second portion, a radial shoulder being formed at the merger of said bore portions;
said shaft having a mounting end opposite from said enlarged head, said mounting end including means for mounting said shaft to said archery bow and means for coupling said mounting end to an arrowhead;
said shaft being positioned in said bore in a first direction with the enlarged head engaging one end of said weight and the mounting end of said shaft projecting from the opposite end of said weight a predetermined distance for mounting said shaft to said bow for use as a bow stabilizer;
and
said shaft being positioned in said bore in a second direction opposite said first direction with the enlarged head slidable in said bore second portion, said shaft mounting end being coupled to an embedded arrowhead whereby reciprocating motion of said weight impacting said shoulder against said enlarged head removes said arrowhead.
