Assignee:

Jas. D. Easton, Inc. - Van Nuys CA

International Classification:

F42B 6/04

US Classification:

473578

Abstract:

The invention involves an arrow system having a shaft having a first end and an insert receptive of a standard point, the insert being disposed completely within the first end of the shaft. An insert installation tool may be used as part of the invention to facilitate insertion of the insert into the first end of the shaft. The invention further includes a reduced diameter hunting arrow shaft that maintains sufficient spine and weight characteristics. The reduced diameter hunting arrow shaft is receptive of standard or non-standard internal components for increasing arrow penetration and shot accuracy. Still further, the invention includes an arrow tip assembly including a male insert and a female point to assist in aligning points with arrow shafts.

Filed:

Appl. No.:

11/247753

Inventors:

Jacob C. Smith - Salt Lake City UT, US
Kenny R. Giles - West Valley City UT, US
Teddy D. Palomaki - Park City UT, US

Assignee:

Jas. D. Easton, Inc. - Van Nuys CA

International Classification:

F42B 6/04

US Classification:

473582

Abstract:

The present specification describes novel arrow inserts and arrow systems that may be used for archery. One aspect of the novel arrow inserts relates to two or more separated contact portions or fit rings. The use of at least two fit rings contacting an inside diameter of an arrow shaft at a spaced interval provides better alignment of the arrow insert, and thus an arrow point, with the arrow shaft. The novel arrow inserts may be formed with a lip to limit insertion into the arrow shaft, or without a lip. Inserts without a lip may allow the insert to be fully inserted into the arrow shaft. The inserts may be sized to fit snugly into any arrow shaft, including reduced diameter hunter arrows described herein. The inserts may also be sized to accommodate standard arrow point assemblies, half-out arrow point assemblies, or smaller diameter arrow point assemblies.

International Classification:

E21C 35/18

US Classification:

299113, 299111

Abstract:

In one aspect of the present invention, a degradation assembly comprises an inverted conical face formed in a top end of a metal body tapering towards a central axis of the metal body. A base end of a carbide bolster is adapted to be brazed to the top end of the metal body within the inverted conical face. At least one protrusion is formed in the inverted conical face and is adapted to control a braze thickness between the face and the base end.
