Claim 2

A readily disassemblable hunting arrowhead comprising: an elongated collet having a first axial slot communicating with the front end thereof and a second axial slot substantially orthogonal to said first slot and communicating with the rear end thereof, a first substantially triangular blade comprising the tip of the arrowhead and having a rear undercut portion adapted to fit within said first slot, a second substantially triangular blade adapted to fit within said second slot, said first and second blades having portions extending rearwardly of the cutting edges thereof, said rearwardly extending portions of said first and second blades are outward of said collet and inclined radially inwardly and toward the rear end thereof, and means for retaining said blades in a position within said collet including means encompassing said rearwardly extending portions removably engageable upon the rear end of said collet for retaining said blades in place, said means further including a ferrule having its forward inner surface beveled substantially parallel to said incline so as to engage said inclined portions and wedge them inwardly upon being engaged upon said collet.

Claim 3

A readily disassemblable hunting arrow comprising: an elongated collet having a first axial slot communicating with the front end thereof and a second axial slot substantially orthogonal to said first slot and communicating with the rear end thereof, a first substantially triangular blade comprising the tip of the arrowhead and having a rear undercut portion adapted to fit within said first slot, a second substantially triangular blade adapted to fit within said second slot, said first and second blades having portions extending rearwardly of the cutting edges thereof, said second blade comprising a unitary structure including a body portion adapted to ride within said second slot and two side edge portions each extending along the surface of said collet from a point forwardly of said second slot and angling radially outward and rearwardly therefrom, and means for retaining said blades in position within said collet including means encompassing said rearwardly extending portions and removably engageable upon the rear end of said collet for retaining said blades in place, said collet includes a plurality of windsplints each terminating at the most forward point of the side edge portion of said second blade.

Claim 4

A readily disassemblable hunting arrow comprising: an elongated collet having a first axial slot communicating with the front end thereof and a second axial slot substantially orthogonal to said first slot and communicating with the rear end thereof, a first substantially triangular blade comprising the tip of the arrowhead and having a rear undercut portion adapted to fit within said first slot, a second substantially triangular blade adapted to fit within said second slot, said first and second blades having portions extending rearwardly of the cutting edges thereof, said second blade comprising a unitary structure including a body portion adapted to ride within said second slot and two side edge portions each extending along the surface of said collet from a point forwardly of said second slot and angling radially outward and rearwardly therefrom, and means for retaining said blades in position within said collet including means encompassing said rearwardly extending portions and removably engageable upon the rear end of said collet for retaining said blades in place, said collet includes a plurality of windsplints each terminating at the most forward point of the side edge portion of said second blade.

Claim 5

A readily disassemblable hunting arrowhead comprising: a. an elongated collet having a first axial slot communicating with the front end thereof and a second axial slot substantially orthogonal to the first slot and communicating with the rear end thereof; b. a first substantially triangular blade comprising the tip of the arrowhead and having a rear undercut portion adapted to fit within the first slot; c. a second substantially triangular blade adapted to fit within the second slot, the first and second blades having portions extending rearwardly of the cutting edges outward of the collet and inclined radially inwardly and toward the rear end thereof; and, d. a ferrule removably engageably mounted on the rear end of the collet, the ferrule having its forward inner surface beveled substantially parallel to the inclined portions of the blades so as to engage the inclined portions and wedge them inwardly upon being engaged upon the collet.

Claim 6

A readily disassemblable hunting arrowhead comprising: a. an elongated collet having a first axial slot communicating with the front end thereof and a second axial slot substantially orthogonal to the first slot and communicating with the rear end thereof; b. a first substantially triangular blade comprising the tip of the arrowhead and having a rear undercut portion adapted to fit within the first slot; c. a second substantially triangular blade adapted to fit within the second slot, the first and second blades having portions extending rearwardly of the cutting edges outward of the collet and inclined radially inwardly and toward the rear end thereof; and, d. a ferrule removably engageably mounted on the rear end of the collet, the ferrule having its forward inner surface beveled substantially parallel to the inclined portions of the blades so as to engage the inclined portions and wedge them inwardly upon being engaged upon the collet.
