Abstract
An arrowhead assembly and a method for assembling an arrowhead are provided. The arrowhead of the disclosure is secured to an inside portion of the arrow shaft and the outside portion of the arrow shaft. In some embodiments the arrow tip threads into an insert that is secured within the tip of the arrowhead. Also, in some embodiments, a sleeve extends over the end of the arrow shaft and is radially compressed onto the shaft.
Claims22
An arrowhead assembly comprising:
- a sleeve constructed to extend over and clamp concentrically around an arrow shaft;
- an arrow point including:
- a tip, a shaft, the shaft having a first portion configured to be secured to an inside of the arrow shaft, and a second portion fitted to the sleeve;
- and
- a collar constructed to concentrically compress the sleeve against the arrow shaft, wherein the collar is positioned over and around the first portion of the arrow point shaft.
2 more elements
A method of assembling an arrowhead including:
- connecting an arrow tip to an inside hollow portion of an arrow shaft and compressing a shaft sleeve around the outside of the arrow shaft, wherein the step of compressing a shaft sleeve around the outside of the arrow shaft includes threading a compression collet around the shaft sleeve.
An arrowhead assembly comprising:
- a plurality of blades spaced around an arrow shaft, wherein the arrowhead assembly is configured to be secured axially to the inside of an arrow shaft and radially to an outside of the arrow shaft;
- an arrow tip, the arrow tip including an arrow point, the arrow point being connected to an arrow tip shaft, the arrow tip shaft having a larger diameter portion and a smaller diameter portion;
- an insert, the insert being configured to be fixed within an end of the arrow shaft and connected to the larger diameter portion of the arrow tip shaft;
- a sleeve, the sleeve including a first end configured to abut the arrow point and a second end that extends over the insert and the arrow shaft;
- and
- a compression collar configured to be threaded onto a second end of the sleeve to compress the sleeve onto the outside surface of the arrow shaft.

An arrowhead assembly comprising:
- a sleeve constructed to extend over and clamp concentrically around an arrow shaft;
- an arrow point including:
- a tip, a shaft, the shaft having a first portion configured to be secured to an inside of the arrow shaft, and a second portion fitted to the sleeve;
- a collar constructed to concentrically compress the sleeve against the arrow shaft, wherein rotation of the collar with respect to the sleeve increases the inward pressure exerted on the arrow shaft;
- and
- a pivot blade, the pivot blade being pivotally connected to the sleeve.
