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.

Assignee:

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

International Classification:

F42B 6/04

US Classification:

473578

Abstract:

The present invention is directed to a shaft and arrow system. The shaft and arrow system includes a hybrid structure that may include two concentric tubes. A first of the two concentric tubes may comprise an outer shell or jacket of thin-walled metal alloy. A second of the two concentric tubes may include an inner core of thin-walled fiber reinforced polymer. The two concentric tubes may be bonded together by a suitable adhesive such as epoxy or urethane. The shaft may have a reduced diameter as compared to conventional arrow shafts, and the shaft may be receptive of a variety of inserts, points, nocks, and other components. Some inserts may be completely recessed within a first end of the shaft.

Easton Technical Products, Inc. - Salt Lake City UT

International Classification:

F42B 6/04

US Classification:

473578

Abstract:

An arrow shaft comprising a first shaft portion and a second shaft portion is disclosed. The second shaft portion of the arrow shaft may have a larger outer diameter than the first shaft portion. The arrow shaft may also comprise a transition portion between the first shaft portion and the second shaft portion. An arrow comprising an arrow shaft, a first shaft portion, a second shaft portion, a nock, and a point is also disclosed. The first shaft portion of the arrow may comprise a lengthwise segment of the arrow shaft terminating at an end of the arrow shaft adjacent to the arrow nock. The second shaft portion of the arrow may comprise a lengthwise segment of the arrow shaft terminating at an end of the arrow shaft adjacent to the arrow point.
