Broadhead

Claim 2

An arrowhead comprising: a ferrule having a conical body with a tip on the forward end of the ferrule, a planar slot in the ferrule extending rearward from the tip of the ferrule into the conical body; a flat primary blade securely fixed to the outside of the conical body, the primary blade lying in a plane substantially perpendicular to that of the planar slot and extending forward well beyong the ferrule tip, the primary blade having an opening in the portion of the primary blade which projects beyong the ferrule tip; a flat auxiliary blade having a forward portion thereof positioned within the planar slot and rearwardly directed tips, the forward portion extending forward beyond the ferrule tip and terminating in a point located within the primary blade opening; and means on the ferrule located on the opposite sides of the conical body substantially in the same plane as the slot for receiving the rearwardly directed tips of the auxiliary blade.

Claim 3

An arrowhead as recited in claim 1 wherein the means located on the ferrule are holes.

Claim 4

An arrowhead as set forth in claim 2 wherein said flat auxiliary blade further comprises a pair of fastening members, one of which is positioned within each of said holes.

Claim 5

An arrowhead as set forth in claim 2 wherein each of said pair of holes is circular, the centers of said circular holes being coplanar with said planar slot.

Claim 6

An arrowhead as recited in claim 2 wherein the holes are circular holes.

Claim 7

An arrowhead as recited in claim 2 wherein the conical body has a bore for receiving one end of an arrow shaft.

Claim 8

An arrowhead as set forth in claim 1 wherein said flat auxiliary blade is substantially thinner than said flat primary blade.

Claim 9

An arrowhead as set forth in claim 1 wherein said primary blade is brazed on the outside of said conical body.

Claim 10

An arrowhead comprising: a ferrule having a conical body with a rounded tip on the forward end of said ferrule, a planar slot in said ferrule extending rearward from the forward end of said ferrule into said conical body, and a pair of circular holes located on opposite sides of said conical body, the center of said circular holes being coplanar with said planar slot; a flat primary blade securely brazed on the outside of said conical body, said main blade lying in a plane substantially perpendicular to that of said planar slot, and extending forward well beyond said rounded tip, said primary blade having an opening in the portion of said main blade which projects beyond said rounded tip; and a flat auxiliary blade having a forward portion thereof positioned within said planar slot, said forward portion extending forward beyond said rounded tip and terminating in a pointed tip located within said primary blade opening, said auxiliary blade having a pair of fastening members, one of which is adapted to fit in each of said circular holes.

Claim 11

An arrowhead comprising: a ferrule having a conical body with a rounded tip on the forward end of said ferrule, a planar slot in said ferrule extending rearward from the forward end of said ferrule into said conical body, and a pair of circular holes located on opposite sides of said conical body, the center of said circular holes being coplanar with said planar slot; a flat primary blade securely brazed on the outside of said conical body, said main blade lying in a plane substantially perpendicular to that of said planar slot, and extending forward well beyond said rounded tip, said primary blade having an opening in the portion of said main blade which projects beyond said rounded tip; and a flat auxiliary blade having a forward portion thereof positioned within said planar slot, said forward portion extending forward beyond said rounded tip and terminating in a pointed tip located within said primary blade opening, said auxiliary blade having a pair of fastening members, one of which is adapted to fit in each of said circular holes.

Claim 12

An arrowhead comprising: a ferrule having a conical body with a rounded tip on the forward end of said ferrule, a planar slot in said ferrule extending rearward from the forward end of said ferrule into said conical body, and a pair of circular holes located on opposite sides of said conical body, the center of said circular holes being coplanar with said planar slot; a flat primary blade securely brazed on the outside of said conical body, said main blade lying in a plane substantially perpendicular to that of said planar slot, and extending forward well beyond said rounded tip, said primary blade having an opening in the portion of said main blade which projects beyond said rounded tip; and a flat auxiliary blade having a forward portion thereof positioned within said planar slot, said forward portion extending forward beyond said rounded tip and terminating in a pointed tip located within said primary blade opening, said auxiliary blade having a pair of fastening members, one of which is adapted to fit in each of said circular holes.

Claim 13

An arrowhead comprising: a ferrule having a conical body with a rounded tip on the forward end of said ferrule, a planar slot in said ferrule extending rearward from the forward end of said ferrule into said conical body, and a pair of circular holes located on opposite sides of said conical body, the center of said circular holes being coplanar with said planar slot; a flat primary blade securely brazed on the outside of said conical body, said main blade lying in a plane substantially perpendicular to that of said planar slot, and extending forward well beyond said rounded tip, said primary blade having an opening in the portion of said main blade which projects beyond said rounded tip; and a flat auxiliary blade having a forward portion thereof positioned within said planar slot, said forward portion extending forward beyond said rounded tip and terminating in a pointed tip located within said primary blade opening, said auxiliary blade having a pair of fastening members, one of which is adapted to fit in each of said circular holes.
