Patent ID: 10598469

Abstract:
The present invention comprises a novel broadhead generally consisting of a means to attach said broad-head to an arrow shaft, a ferrule with longitudinal slots for recessed blades and a perpendicular circular indentation to hold an o-ring, a tip to provide aerodynamic flight and a cutting surface, pivoting forward deploying blades, and a delayed deployment mechanism designed to trigger deployment of the blades after the broadhead has entered the target. An o-ring may be positioned on the ferrule to hold the blades in the recessed position until deployment is triggered by the delayed deployment mechanism. In preferred embodiments, the design of the pivot point and the slots in the ferrule only allow the blades to deploy to a position slightly greater than perpendicular to the ferrule. Also in preferred embodiments, the blades are fully recessed and will remain so until the broadhead has entered the target.
