Mechanical broadheads with hinged rear blades

摘要

A mechanical broadhead with a set of blades that mechanically activate via a fixed style blade that slides at impact. The blades may deploy inside a cavity of an animal or the blades may deploy outside a cavity of an animal. The blades are slideably secured in a body in accepting slots. The deployable blades may include a ratchet mechanism to lock the deployable blades in one or more positions. The mechanical broadhead maintains a low aerodynamic profile for proper flight via the deployable blades.

主权项

1. A mechanical broadhead for hunting an organism comprising:
a body for penetrating the organism, the body comprising:
a front end opposite a back end;a head extending between the front end and the back end;first and second apertures passing through the head of the body between the front end of the body and the back end of the body; a fixed front blade comprised of a fixed front blade formed of a single unit of material, slideably disposed in the first aperture, the fixed front blade comprising a nose opposite a tail, and a pair cutting edges arranged between the nose and the tail; and a hinged rear blade assembly slideably disposed in the second aperture, the hinged rear blade assembly comprising a pair of blades, each blade of the pair of blades having a nose opposite a tail, and a cutting edge opposite a spine, the cutting edge and the spine arranged between the nose and the tail, and each of the pair of blades is pinned to the fixed front blade; wherein each of the noses of the pair of blades is pivotably coupled with the fixed front blade between the pair of blades, and behind the nose of the fixed front blade and in front of the tail of the fixed front blade; wherein when the fixed front blade contacts the organism, the fixed front blade slideably displaces from a first position to a second position, and displaces the hinged rear blade assembly from a stowed position where each of the pair of blades are adjacent to the body to a deployed position where each of the pair of blades are distal to the body.
