Abstract
Abstract An arrow tip for hunting arrows which includes a slotted head or blade mount fitted with a v-shaped deep slot and a v-shaped shallow slot oriented in transverse relationship in the blade mount. A first shaped base blade having a truncated tip and downwardly extending base blade legs is seated in the deep slot and a second shaped top blade, having a sharpened tip and provided with downwardly extending top blade legs, is seated in the shallow slot with the fork of the top blade legs touching the truncated tip of the base blade and the tip of the top blade projecting above the end of the blade mount. In a preferred embodiment, the extending ends of the base and top blade legs are fitted with stabilizing members projecting toward the blade mount shank and designed to bias against an arrow shaft carrying the arrow tip to impart a curvature into the top blade legs and base blade legs.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
157 words
An arrow tip for removable mounting on an arrow shaft, said arrow tip comprising: (a) a generally bullet-shaped blade mount and a threaded shank extending from one end of said blade mount from threadibly connecting said blade mount to the arrow shaft; (b) a first V-shaped slot provided longitudinally in said blade mount; (c) a base blade having a truncated tip and a pair of base blade legs inserted in said first V-shaped slot, said base legs extending from said first V-shaped slot in a selected angular relationship; (d) a second V-shaped slot provided longitudinally in said blade mount, said second V-shaped slot located above said first V-shaped slot and substantially transversely oriented with respect to said first V-shaped slot; and (e) a top blade having a sharpened tip and a pair of top blade legs inserted in said second V-shaped slot, said top blade legs extending from said second V-shaped slot in said selected angular relationship.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
157 words
An arrow tip for removable mounting on an arrow shaft, said arrow tip comprising: (a) a generally bullet-shaped blade mount and a threaded shank extending from one end of said blade mount from threadibly connecting said blade mount to the arrow shaft; (b) a first V-shaped slot provided longitudinally in said blade mount; (c) a base blade having a truncated tip and a pair of base blade legs inserted in said first V-shaped slot, said base legs extending from said first V-shaped slot in a selected angular relationship; (d) a second V-shaped slot provided longitudinally in said blade mount, said second V-shaped slot located above said first V-shaped slot and substantially transversely oriented with respect to said first V-shaped slot; and (e) a top blade having a sharpened tip and a pair of top blade legs inserted in said second V-shaped slot, said top blade legs extending from said second V-shaped slot in said selected angular relationship.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
113 words
The arrow tip of claim 1 further comprising a first stabilizer extending from one of said base blade legs to the arrow shaft; a second stabilizer extending from the other one of said base blade legs to the arrow shaft; a third stabilizer extending from one of said top blade legs to the arrow shaft; and a fourth stabilizer extending from the other one of said top blade legs to the arrow shaft, with the extending ends of said first stabilizer, said second stabilizer, said third stabilizer and said fourth stabilizer biased against the arrow shaft, whereby said base blade legs and said top blade legs are each caused to describe an arc.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
43 words
The arrow top of claim 1 further comprising sharpened base blade faces provided on opposite sides of said base blade and said base blade legs and sharpened top blade faces provided on opposite sides of said top blade and said top blade legs.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
157 words
The arrow tip of claim 1 further comprising: (a) a first stabilizer extending from one of said base blade legs to the arrow shaft; a second stabilizer extending from the other one of said base blade legs to the arrow shaft; a third stabilizer extending from one of said top blade legs to the arrow shaft; and a fourth stabilizer extending from the other one of said top blade legs to the arrow shaft, with the extending ends of said first stabilizer, said second stabilizer, said third stabilizer and said fourth stabilizer biased against the arrow shaft, whereby said base blade legs and said top blade legs are each caused to describe an arc having a concave side; and (b) sharpened base blade faces provided on the concave side of said base blade and said base blade legs and sharpened top blade faces provided on the concave side of said top blade and said top blade legs.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
