Arrow ringed broadhead

Abstract

An arrow broadhead tip having a plurality of .Iadd.triangular .Iaddend.razor sharp blades .Iadd.with cutting edges .Iaddend.spaced equidistant around the circumference of the tip's shaft portion all of which are connected .[.on their outer razor sharp edge.]. .Iadd.at points spaced between the hypotenuse and their cutting edges .Iaddend.by a razor sharp ring of steel. When the arrow is shot or propelled from a bow at a hunting target it hits the skin or hide of the target animal and cleanly cuts a hole into it with a diameter larger than the arrow shaft's diameter thereby providing a means for the animal to profusely bleed to death unimpeded by loose skin or hide closing the hole or the arrow shaft itself plugging the hole it helped create.

We claim: .[.1. An arrow broadhead tip comprising: 
     
        snap ring groove..]. .Iadd.2.  An arrow broadhead tip comprising in combination the following components: a shaft, a conical tip, a plurality of triangular blades, and a ring blade, said triangular blades each having a substantially right triangular configuration with a hypotenuse side, a second longest side having a cutting edge and a shortest side, said shaft having a plurality of blade grooves which traverse the length of said shaft, said hypotenuse sides of said blades removably fitted into said grooves, said hypotenuse sides having rectangular voids that extend upwardly from said shaft to any point before or below said cutting edges of said second longest side, said ring blade encircling said shaft and tightly fitted into said rectangular voids at a circumferential portion, said ring blade having at a forward edge a sharpened portion, said conical tip fitted onto said shaft at a front or forwardmost portion of said shaft. .Iaddend. .Iadd.3. The broadhead tip of claim 2 wherein said shaft is tapered to a smaller diameter at said front portion. .Iaddend. .Iadd.4. The broadhead tip of claim 2 wherein said shaft has at a terminal rear portion a threaded section. .Iaddend. .Iadd.5. The broadhead tip of claim 2 wherein said blade grooves are located and spaced equidistant from each other around a circumference of said shaft. .Iaddend. .Iadd.6. The broadhead tip of claim 2 wherein there are three grooves in said shaft spaced about 120 degrees apart. .Iaddend. .Iadd.7. The broadhead tip of claim 2 wherein said second longest side having said cutting edge located at the upper outer portion of each triangular blade, said hypotenuse being 
     
     
        at a lower-inner portion of each triangular blade. .Iaddend. .Iadd.8.  The broadhead tip of claim 2 wherein said second longest side has a slight inward curvature. .Iaddend. .Iadd.9. The broadhead tip of claim 2 wherein said rectangular voids extend up to about midway from the distance of the hypotenuse to the junction of said second longest side and said shortest side. .Iaddend. .Iadd.10. The broadhead tip of claim 2 which has a rectangular portion containing a grooved section which overlaps rear corners of each triangular blade. .Iaddend. .Iadd.11. The broadhead tip of claim 2 wherein said ring blade has a hollow cylindrical shape of length substantially equal to the widths of said rectangular voids so as to fit tightly therein. .Iaddend. .Iadd.12. The broadhead tip of claim 2 wherein measured from said shaft at a shaft location encircled by said ring blade, said ring blade has a radius smaller than the distance of the cutting edges of any of said second longest sides from the shaft at said shaft location. .Iaddend. .Iadd.13. The broadhead tip of claim 2 wherein said hypotenuse sides of said triangular blades are connected via their rectangular voids by said ring blade, said ring blade also encircling said shaft. .Iaddend. .Iadd.14. The broadhead tip of claim 2 wherein said cutting edges define outermost portions of said broadhead tip, said ring blade being smaller in diameter than said outermost portions. .Iaddend.
