Title: Escape-prevention arrow

Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     1. Field of the Invention 
     The present invention relates to an arrow used for bow. More particularly, the arrow of the present invention is able to prevent prey from escaping after hitting the prey. 
     2. Description of the Related Art 
     A bow has many functions, and was initially used as a hunting tool in the past; besides being used for hunting, the bow has become a very popular sports. In recent years, upon demand, the bows have also been developed to a variety of types, such as recurve bows, and crossbows and so on. In order to meet the needs of users in various fields, many manufacturers have successively developed better bows, arrows, and accessories. 
     Currently, science and technology have advanced considerably, but there still are many people using bows for hunting. The main reason is that the regulations have strict restrictions on firearms, and bows are also easy to reload and quiet; for a hunter, the bow is an effective hunting tool second only to firearms. However, from the perspective of the animal welfare, the legitimacy of the bow as a hunting tool is far less than that of firearms, and the reason is that the bow is less efficient in killing prey than firearms; for example, when an arrow hits a non-critical part of an animal, the animal may escape with the arrow stuck on the body, and in this case, the animal may not die in a short time but is unable to live normally, and it causes the animal to die in painful ways such as starvation, chronic inflammation, infection, or severe illness. 
     Although the hunting regulations of many countries already require the minimum weight of hunting bow to increase the efficiency of killing prey and reduce the possibility of prolonging the pain of animal, there are still some shortcomings. The reason is that the arrow causes insufficient destructive power compared with firearm when hitting the animal but missing the critical part of the animal, and the above-mentioned hunting manner is unable to consume a lot of animal&#39;s physical strength, so the animal still has physical strength to escape. Therefore, the key problem to be solved for bow hunting is to reduce the possibility that the animal hit by arrow may escape, so as to make the hunter have enough time to knife the animal hit by the arrow. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention uses an arrow body, a hook and a restraining wire to form an arrow, and after the arrow body hits the animal, the hook is able to hook a tree, so that the animal is restrained from escaping and the hunter may have enough time to knife the animal, thereby quickly killing the animal to reduce its pain. As a result, the problem that the killing efficiency of bow is insufficient can be solved. 
     In order to achieve the above objective and effect, the present invention provides an escape-prevention arrow including an arrow body, a hook and a restraining wire. The arrow body has two ends and a buckling part, and the two ends are an arrow tail and an arrowhead respectively. The buckling part is disposed near the arrowhead. The hook is disposed on the buckling part, and the hook is separated from the arrow body when being impacted. The restraining wire is connected between the hook and the arrow body. 
     According to an embodiment, the arrowhead includes a reverse hook disposed thereon. 
     According to an embodiment, the hook is a multi-anchor hook and includes at least two hooking parts.

     Please refer to  FIGS. 1 and 2 , which show an escape-prevention arrow including an arrow body  1 , a hook  2  and a restraining wire  3 . The arrow body  1  has two ends and a buckling part  14 , and the two ends are an arrow tail  11  and an arrowhead  12  respectively; the arrowhead includes a reverse hook  13  disposed thereon. The buckling part  14  is disposed near the arrowhead  12 . The hook  2  is disposed on the buckling part  14 , and the hook  2  is separated from the arrow body  1  when being impacted. The restraining wire  3  is connected between the hook  2  and the arrow body  1 . 
     Continuing the above content, the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail in following paragraphs. Before in use, the hook  2  of the present invention should be set on the arrow body  1  and adjacent to the arrowhead  12 , for example, the hook  2  is set on a buckling part  14 . The hook  2  should not be set too firmly, so as to prevent the hook  2  from being unable to separate from the arrow body  1  when the hook  2  impacts the animal  100 . In this embodiment, for example, the hook  2  can have a C-shaped buckle configured to buckle with the buckling part  14 , and an end of the restraining wire  3  is fixed on the arrow tail  11 , and the whole hook  2  is closely attached to a side of the arrow body  1 . After the preparation is complete, the user can shoot the escape-prevention arrow of the present invention by a bow. As shown in  FIG. 3 , when a hunter uses the escape-prevention arrow of the present invention to shoot the prey, the arrowhead  12  penetrates into a body of the animal  100 ; in this case, because the hook  2  and the arrowhead  12  are not on the same axis, the hook  2  can impact the animal  100 . Next, as shown in  FIG. 4 , the hook  2  is separated from the arrow body  1  because of impacting the animal  100 ; hunting grounds are mostly located in forest areas with a lot of trees, so that the hook  2  is quite easy to fall on and entangle with a tree after being separated from the arrow body  1 , as shown in  FIG. 5 . Even if the hook  2  does not fall on a tree in the beginning, the restraining wire  3  connected between the hook  2  and the arrow body  1  can pull the hook  2  to easily hook with surrounding tree after the animal  100  is slightly moved. At this time, the arrow body  1  stuck on the body of the animal  100  and the hook  2  entangled with the tree can restrain an action range of the animal  100  by the length of the restraining wire  3 , so that the animal  100  can be stopped from escaping and the hunter can have enough time to overtake the animal  100  to knife and kill. 
     According to the above contents, when the hunter uses the escape-prevention arrow of the present invention, the animal  100  being hit can be prevented from escaping, and the hunter can have enough time to knife the animal  100 , so as to quickly kill the animal  100  to reduce its pain and greatly increase the killing efficiency of the bow hunting, thereby completely solving the conventional problems. Therefore, the present invention indeed has novelty and non-obviousness. 
     Furthermore, because the weight of the hook  2  and the restraining wire  3  is generally lower than that of the arrow body  1  and the size of the hook  2  and the restraining wire  3  is also small, even the hook  2  is separated from the arrow body  1  during flight, and the hook  2  may not affect stability of the arrow body  1  during flight. 
     Furthermore, the arrowhead  12  includes a reverse hook  13  disposed thereon, the configuration of the reverse hook  13  can reduce the probability of the arrow body  1  being detached from the animal  100 . 
     Furthermore, a type of the hook  2  is provided in an embodiment, the hook  2  can be a multi-anchor hook and includes at least two hooking parts  2 , and the structure of the multi-anchor hook is easier to hook a tree, and it is quite difficult to detach the multi-anchor hook after being hooked. Furthermore, the hook  2  having at least two hooking part can hook a tree stably. According to the type of animal to be hunted and the environment, the hook  2  with three, four or more hooking parts can be selected for use, for example, the hook  2  with three hooking parts is taken as an example in this embodiment. 
     The present invention disclosed herein has been described by means of specific embodiments. However, numerous modifications, variations and enhancements can be made thereto by those skilled in the an without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure set forth in the claims.
