Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a two-part sectionalized arrow that can be easily assembled by joining a nock section with a tip section. An insert and a hollow chamber promote a snug fit between the two sections when assembled. A longitudinal shim or strip of coating material is positioned between the interior of the tip section's chamber and the exterior of the nock section's insert, ensuring a snug fit. The invention also provides a method to ensure the assembled arrow is as straight as possible by analyzing the tip section and the nock section, aligning their planes of curvature, and using index marks to minimize the effect of curvature.

Embodiment Construction

[0023]Referring initially to FIG. 1, a sectionalized arrow in accordance with the present invention is shown and is generally designated 10. As shown, the arrow 10 includes a tip section 12 and a nock section 14. Further, the tip section 12 has a fore-end 16 and an aft-end 18. Similarly, the nock section 14 has a fore-end 20 and an aft-end 22.

[0024]In FIG. 2A it will be seen that the tip section 12 is essentially a hollow, tubular-shaped structure that is formed with a chamber 24 inside the aft-end 18 of the tip section 12. Further, the tip section 12 is shown to have an outer diameter “D”, and the chamber 24 is shown to have a diameter “dc”. Similarly, it will be seen in FIG. 2A that, like the tip section 12, the nock section 14 is also essentially a hollow, tubular-shaped structure. The nock section 14, however, is formed with an insert 28 that extends axially from the fore-end 20 of the nock section 14. As shown, the insert 28 has a length “L” and it has an outer surface 30 with ...

Abstract

A sectionalized arrow includes a tubular-shaped tip section and a tubular-shaped nock section. Structurally, the aft-end of the tip section is formed with a chamber, and the fore-end of the tip section is formed with an insert. Essentially, the insert of the nock section and the chamber of the tip section have the same length “L”. A shim or strip of coating is positioned on the insert of the nock section to force contact between the insert and the chamber to establish a snug fit between the tip section and the nock section.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention pertains generally to arrows that are suited for use with man-powered weapons, such as a conventional bow, a compound bow or a crossbow. More particularly, the present invention pertains to arrows that can be assembled, onsite, by the user. The present invention is particularly, but not exclusively, useful as an arrow that can be broken down into sections for ease of transport, and subsequently assembled, as desired, to establish an aerodynamically suitable arrow.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]When so-called “man-powered” weapons, such as a crossbow or a compound bow, are used for hunting or target shooting, a person will usually carry most of the equipment required for participating in these activities. Typically, the primary means of transportation for these activities will be travelling on foot. In most instances, a person will carry the weapon, arrows, spare parts, and tools required to use or service the weapon. Further, for h...
