Embodiment Construction

[0066]FIG. 1, generally at 100, is an exemplary perspective view of an existing polymeric version of a broadhead collar 100. The collar 100 consists of a lower annular portion 102, an intermediate annular portion 104, and an upper annular portion 106. The intermediate annular portion 104 has a smaller relative radius than the lower annular portion and the upper annular portion 106. The upper annular portion 106 has a plurality of slots shown, for example, at 108a, 108b, 108c. In one embodiment, the slots 108a, 108b, 108c extend to an upper portion of the intermediate annular portion 104. A tab 110 is formed between each slot 108a, 108b, 108c. For example, section 110 is shown between slots 108b and 108c.

[0067]Exemplary two-bladed broadheads that the existing collars 100 can be used with can be found, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 6,910,979, which is incorporated herein by reference herein in its entirety. The collar 100 is designed to break on impact. In some embodiments, the exist...

Abstract

Collars are provided for broadheads. In some embodiments, the collars are shock collars with frangible tabs which restrain the blades of an expandable broadhead during flight, stabilizing the flight path of the expandable broadhead. The frangible tabs break off of the shock collar upon impact, allowing the blades of the expandable broadhead to deploy and increase the size of the entrance hole made in the target. In some embodiments, the collars center a ferrule of a broadhead within an insert of an arrow.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to collars for broadheads, also referred to as arrowheads, arrowtips, broadhead arrowheads or broadhead arrowtips. More particularly, embodiments of the present invention relate to blade stabilizing and retaining collars for expandable broadheads which have an in-flight configuration with the blades of the broadhead retracted, and which deploy their blades outwardly upon striking a target to result in a larger entrance opening in the target. Embodiments of the present invention also relate to collars configured to cover an outer portion of a ferrule of a broadhead, which act to center the ferrule within an insert in an arrow body.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Expandable broadheads that utilize a rear deploying expandable blade structure that does not hang up or get stuck in a ferrule slot, while at the same time improving penetration capabilities as well as facilitating arrow removal after...
