Case for broadhead
Abstract
A case for a broadhead includes multiple sides, a bottom, and a lid. The case also includes a surface and multiple receivers. The sides, the bottom, and the lid define an inner volume. The surface is disposed in the inner volume, a distance from the bottom. The receivers are positioned on the surface. The receivers include multiple fingers and an aperture. The fingers are configured to be deformed out of a rest position by a shaft of an arrow as a broadhead coupled on an end of the shaft is inserted into the aperture. The fingers are configured to engage a surface of the broadhead to retain the broadhead in the aperture in response to the shaft being de-coupled from the broadhead and allowing the fingers to return to the rest position.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A case for a broadhead, the case comprising:
a plurality of sides, a bottom, and a lid, wherein the plurality of sides, the bottom, and the lid define an inner volume; a surface disposed in the inner volume, the surface positioned a distance from the bottom; and a plurality of receivers positioned on the surface, the plurality of receivers each comprising a plurality of fingers and an aperture; wherein the plurality of fingers are configured to be deformed out of a rest position by a shaft of an arrow as the shaft is inserted between the plurality of fingers; and wherein the plurality of fingers are configured to engage a surface of the broadhead to retain the broadhead in the aperture.
2 . The case of claim 1 , further comprising:
a resilient member disposed a distance below the aperture, the resilient member configured to abut a tip of the broadhead and bias the broadhead into engagement with the plurality of fingers to retain the broadhead in the aperture.
3 . The case of claim 2 , wherein the resilient member comprises a rubber slug configured to receive the tip of the broadhead.
4 . The case of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of sides, the bottom, and the lid comprise a rigid material.
5 . The case of claim 1 , wherein the aperture is a central aperture, the plurality of receivers each further comprising a pair of slots on a top and bottom of the central aperture configured to receive blades of the broadhead.
6 . The case of claim 5 , wherein the blades of the broadhead are configured to engage sides of the slots to provide a counter-torque to facilitate threading the shaft of the arrow onto or off of the broadhead.
7 . The case of claim 1 , wherein the case is configured to receive, retain, and release the broadhead without requiring a user to touch the broadhead with their hands.
8 . The case of claim 1 , wherein the broadhead comprises a threaded end and the shaft comprises threads, the shaft configured to be coupled or de-couple from the broadhead by threading the shaft onto the broadhead, the shaft configured to bias the plurality of fingers to de-couple from the broadhead as the shaft is inserted between the plurality of fingers.
9 . The case of claim 1 , wherein the lid is hingedly coupled with one of the sides, the lid transitionable between an open position and a closed position.
10 . The case of claim 1 , wherein the broadhead comprises a fixed blade or a pivotal blade configuration.
11 . The case of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of receivers comprise five receivers such that the case is configured to receive and store five broadheads.
12 . A case for an arrowhead, the case comprising:
a housing; a surface positioned within the housing, the surface disposed a distance from a bottom of the housing such that a space is defined between the surface and the bottom of the housing; an aperture formed in the surface, the aperture shaped to receive an arrowhead through the aperture and into the space; and at least one interlocking member disposed at an edge of the aperture; wherein the at least one interlocking member is configured to interlock with the arrowhead to retain the arrowhead in the case, the at least one interlocking member configured to be deformed by insertion or removal of a shaft of an arrow.
13 . The case of claim 12 , wherein the at least one interlocking member comprises a plurality of fingers disposed about the aperture, the plurality of fingers each including a main portion that extends upwards from the surface and a hook portion that extends perpendicularly from an end of the main portion across a portion of the aperture, the hook portion configured to engage a rim of a body of the arrowhead to retain the arrowhead in the case.
14 . The case of claim 13 , wherein the plurality of fingers are configured to be deformed out of a rest position and into an expanded position by insertion of the shaft of the arrow between the plurality of fingers towards the aperture, wherein the plurality of fingers are configured to retain the arrowhead in the case in the rest position and are configured to be deformed into the expanded position to insert or remove the arrowhead from the case.
15 . The case of claim 12 , further comprising:
a resilient member disposed in the space at the bottom of the housing, the resilient member configured to receive an end of the arrowhead and bias the arrowhead upwards into engagement with the at least one interlocking member.
16 . The case of claim 15 , wherein the resilient member comprises a rubber bumper.
17 . The case of claim 12 , wherein the aperture is a first of a plurality of apertures and the at least one interlocking member is a first of a plurality of at least one interlocking members, the plurality of apertures and the plurality of at least one interlocking members configured to receive a plurality of arrowheads to store the plurality of arrowheads within the case.
18 . The case of claim 12 , further comprising a lid, the lid hingedly coupled with the housing and transitionable between an open position and a closed position.
19 . The case of claim 12 , wherein the case is configured to receive, retain, and release the arrowhead without requiring a user to touch the arrowhead with their hands.
20 . A kit, comprising:
an arrowhead; and a case for the arrowhead, the case comprising:
a housing defining an inner volume;
a surface disposed in the inner volume, the surface positioned a distance from a bottom of the case; and
a plurality of fingers disposed about an aperture formed in the surface;
wherein the aperture is configured to receive the arrowhead and the plurality of fingers are configured to engage the arrowhead to retain the arrowhead in the case.Cited by (0)
