Quick-detachable multi-purpose accessory mounting platform

Abstract

Accessories may be mounted using a quick-detachable multi-purpose accessory mounting platform. The platform may include one or more clamps to receive an object, such as a firearm. The platform also may include at least one recessed mounting pad, at least one rear shelf, and other surfaces to provide different mounting points for accessories.

1 . An arrowhead assembly comprising:
 a connector element having a first radius adapted to connect to a forward end of a shaft;   an arrowhead body flexibly connected to the connector element;   the arrowhead body including a center portion and a plurality of blades each extending from the center portion;   the blades extending radially to a blade radius greater than the first radius of the connector element;   a ball and socket mechanism connecting the connector element and the arrowhead body;   wherein the arrowhead body and the connector element are adapted to flex about a flex point, and wherein the arrowhead body has a neutral point aft of the flex point;   wherein each of the blades has a rear portion extending aft of the flex point; and   wherein the arrowhead body includes a plurality of blades.   
     
     
         2 . The arrowhead assembly of  claim 1  wherein the connector element has a threaded element adapted to be threadably received by the shaft. 
     
     
         3 . The arrowhead assembly of  claim 1  wherein the connector element defines a socket and the arrowhead body includes a ball. 
     
     
         4 . The arrowhead assembly of  claim 1  wherein the arrowhead body includes a central base connected to the connector element, and each of the blades has a forward portion connected to the base, and an aft portion spaced apart from the aft portions of the other blades to define an aft space aft of the base. 
     
     
         5 . The arrowhead assembly of  claim 4  wherein the connector element is received in the aft space. 
     
     
         6 . The arrowhead assembly of  claim 5  wherein the aft portions of the blades are laterally spaced apart from the connector element. 
     
     
         7 . The arrowhead assembly of  claim 1  further comprising an immobilizer defining a first surface adapted to contact the shaft, and having a second surface contacting a portion of the arrowhead body. 
     
     
         8 . The arrowhead assembly of  claim 7  wherein the immobilizer is removably attached to the arrowhead body. 
     
     
         9 . The arrowhead assembly of  claim 7  wherein the immobilizer defines a central aperture closely receiving the shaft. 
     
     
         10 . The arrowhead assembly of  claim 7  wherein the immobilizer has a planar form oriented perpendicularly to an axis defined by the shaft. 
     
     
         11 . The arrowhead assembly of  claim 7  wherein the immobilizer is adapted to fall away from the arrowhead body when an arrow including the arrowhead body is launched. 
     
     
         12 . The arrowhead assembly of  claim 7  wherein the immobilizer is a tube. 
     
     
         13 . The arrowhead assembly of  claim 7  wherein the arrowhead body is further adapted to roll about a flex point. 
     
     
         14 . The arrowhead assembly of  claim 13  wherein the arrowhead body has a plurality of blades, and each of the blades incorporates designed asymmetry to induce rolling of the arrowhead body with respect to the shaft.
