Jan C. riff/I1 Patented Feb. 27, 1945 ARROWHEAD Jean C. Trittin and Jeano Orlando, Salt Lake City, Utah Application September 14, 1943, Serial No. 502,290

4 Claims.

Our invention relates to points or arrow heads and has for its object to provide a new and high: ly eificient arrow head or point for hunting purposes.

A further object is to provide a simplified, economically constructed arrow head which due to its specific form will minimize and prevent any planing or air current deflection and will be more accurate to shoot and at the same time more deadly when it strikes the game. This type of point or head may also become a great beneficial factor in target shooting due to the fact that its dihedral form so cuts the air that greater accuracy can be obtained than with any other type of arrow head now in use.

A still further object is to provide an arrow head which will have greater penetrating qualities and which when passing through flesh will cutaway four strips of flesh in such a form that it will be impossible for the surrounding flesh around the wound to close over and stop hemorrhage, thus any hit in the body of an animal will be a sure kill, which will be of great benefit to wildlife conservation as there will be no injured animals such as deer to get away from the hunter and die without anyone finding them.

A still further object is to provide an arrow head which will be made of two identical pieces of material adhered together by suitable means to form the finished head.

These and many other objects we accomplish with the device illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which similar numerals and letters of reference indicate like parts throughout the several views and as described in the specification forming a part of this application and pointed out in the appended claims.

In'the drawing in which we have shown our arrow head,

Figure 1 is a side view thereof;

Figure 2 is a face view of Figure 1 Figure 3 is an end View of the head looking at it from the end in which the shaft is inserted.

Figure 4 is a view of one-half of the head showing that face against which the other half abuts when they are secured together to make the finished head.

Figure 5 illustrates the shape of the hole left after the arrow has passed through the animal or target.

In the drawing we have shown our head as A, the arrow shaft being shown as B, with the main body thereof cut away. As this head may be used with any kind of shaft and feathering we have shown only the head. The head A is made of two identical halves, 5 and 6. Each half is alike and consists of a pointed strip or blank of metal pressed and formed so that the two edges are bent to form parallel tapered sidewalls or fianges'8 and 9, converging at a point 1, I

and medially of the head there is a tapered groove [0 into which the end of the arrow shaft fits when the arrow head is formed by the two halves and mounted on the shaft. The fiat surfaces ll and I2 between the flanges 8 and 9 and the tapered groove Ii] areabutted together when the two halves are finished and secured together by suitable means such as spot welding, or other suitable means. Should some other means of securing be preferred in case the head is made of a suitable material for such method we feel that these should be within the spirit of our invention and the scope of our appended claims. When the two halves are stamped out they will be set in a suitable frame and welded so that the fiat surfaces H and I2 of one half engage the like surface of the other half thus forming the finished head which when so finished has two outer tapered and-pointed flat surfaces 14 and i5 spaced apart by a central web l6 and l! and .the central conical tapered bore l8. The webs l6 and I! made by the flat surfaces H and I2 when they are secured face to face.

In Figure '3 small letters, a b, c. and d illustrate the tapered grooves which are filled with flesh when the arrow is shot into an' animal and the shape of the hole left is that shown in Fi ure 5.

Having thus described our invention we desire to secure by LettersPatent and claim:

1. 'An arrow head having a tapered shaft bore and having four cutting edges tapering from the rear to a common striking point having two opposed fiat surfaces spaced by central webs extending out from the tapered bore.

2. An arrow head comprising a tapered bore,

tapered flat plane surfaces tapering toward a common striking point, on diametrically opposite sides of said bore, and webs supporting the flat surfaces and spacing their rear broad end from the bore.

3. An arrow head comprising a tapered bore; tapering webs extending from the bore; and tapered flat surfaces at right angles to said webs with their striking point spaced ahead of the point of the bore.

4. An arrow head composed of like halves formed with a tapered groove medially of each half and tapered flanges spaced from each side of the groove area by tapered fiat surfaces, said halves being secured together with the flat surfaces abutting to form a head with opposed tapered plane surfaces on two of its four sides.
