Benefits of technology

[0010] Accordingly, the subject invention provides an arrowhead assembly that releases the pad from the arrowhead assembly upon impact with a surface. In this manner, a marking media, such as a scent, is released from the pad and spread onto the surface, as well as dispersed from the pad so that the scent may emanate from the surface as well as the pad. The subject invention may therefore deliver the scent to locations, such as an elevated location in a tree, which the prior art was unable to accomplish. Additionally, the releasing mechanism is disposed at the distal end of the shaft, thereby absorbing a portion of the kinetic energy carried by the arrow at impact to protect the shaft of the arrow from damage.

Problems solved by technology

The risk associated with this method of dropping the scent is that while the hunter is placing the attractor scent, by the very nature of being at the location, the hunter is also leaving their human scent along the way.
Consequently, the force of the impact may damage the shaft of the arrow.

Embodiment Construction

[0023] Referring to the Figures, wherein like numerals indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views, an arrow is shown generally at 20. As shown in FIG. 1, the arrow 20 remotely delivers a marking media to a location, and includes a shaft 22 and an arrowhead assembly 24 attached to the shaft 22. Referring to FIG. 2, the shaft 22 includes a nock end 26, and extends to an opposing distal end 28, with the arrowhead assembly 24 attached to the distal end 28 of the shaft 22. Fletching 30 is attached to the shaft 22 near the nock end 26.

[0024] Referring also to FIG. 3, the arrowhead assembly 24 includes a base 32, which is removably attached to the distal end 28 of the shaft 22. A releasing mechanism 34 is coupled to the base 32 and defines a media reservoir 36, with a pad 38 disposed within the media reservoir 36 and supported by the base 32, thereby enclosing the pad 38 within the reservoir 36. The releasing mechanism 34 is detachable from the base 32 upon impact with a su...

Abstract

An arrow having an arrowhead assembly is disclosed for delivering scent to a remote location. The arrowhead assembly includes a base, a releasing mechanism defining a reservoir and including a cap connected to said base, and a pad disposed within the reservoir. The releasing mechanism releases the pad from within the reservoir upon impact with a surface. The releasing mechanism defines a frangible break-line between the cap and the base to detach the cap from the base, thereby releasing the pad from the reservoir. The pad may include a spike for attaching the pad to a surface upon impact.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION [0001] This application is a continuation-in-part of prior non-provisional patent application Ser. No. 11 / 153,136 filed Jun. 15, 2005, and claims the benefits of U.S. provisional patent application Ser. No. 60 / 708,564 filed on Aug. 16, 2005, the advantages and disclosure of which are hereby incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] The subject invention relates to an arrow having an arrowhead assembly for remotely delivering a scent to a location. [0004] 2. Description of the Prior Art [0005] Many millions of people around the world enjoy the sport of archery. Of these, over four (4) million hunters in the United States alone take to the field each year to hunt big game, i.e., deer, elk, etc. One of the tools of the bow hunter is the use of a marking media, such as a “scent”. The scent can be in the form of a cover scent, e.g., skunk scent, fox urine, etc., meant to mask the scent of the hunte...
