Patent ID: 7713152

Claim:
An arrowhead including: a. a tip; b. a body extending rearwardly from the tip, wherein the arrowhead has a length extending along an axis extending rearwardly through the tip and body; c. at least one blade having: (1) a pivot end pivotally mounted to a pivot on the body, and (2) a cutting length adjacent the pivot, the blade being pivotable between: i. an open state wherein the cutting length of the blade is folded outwardly from the body, and ii. a closed state wherein the cutting length of the blade is folded inwardly to rest closer to the body, d. an actuating member movable along the length of the arrowhead, wherein: (1) movement of the actuating member pivots the blade between the open and closed states, (2) the blade, once in the open state, is fixed in the open state such that forces exerted on the cutting length of the blade cannot pivot the blade into the closed state, whereby the blade may only pivot into the closed state by movement of the actuating member.
