Abstract

Disclosed herein is an arrow for hunting. The arrow includes an arrow shaft having a predetermined length and including a nock on one end and a shaft threaded part in the other end. A plurality of feathers is positioned to be adjacent to the nock of the arrow shaft. A connector includes a connecting threaded part fastened to the shaft threaded part, a stopper, and a penetration threaded part. An arrowhead is connected to the connector in such a way as to be opposite to the connecting threaded part. A penetration rotary unit has a threaded part to be fastened to the penetration threaded part of the connector, is shorter than the penetration threaded part, and has wings. A spring is positioned between the stopper and the penetration rotary unit, and provides a restoring force to bias the penetration rotary unit toward the arrowhead.

Claims

1. An arrow for hunting, comprising:

an arrow shaft having a predetermined length, and including;

a nock provided on a first end of the arrow shaft such that a bowstring of a bow is inserted into the nock; and

a shaft threaded part provided in a second end of the arrow shaft and having threads;

a plurality of feathers positioned to be adjacent to the nock of the arrow shaft, and provided along an outer circumference of the arrow shaft at regular intervals, each of the feathers having a shape of a plate which protrudes from a surface of the arrow shaft;

a connector including;

a connecting threaded part fastened to the shaft threaded part of the arrow shaft in a threaded manner;

a stopper extending from the connecting threaded part, and having a diameter larger than that of the connecting threaded part to be in contact with an end of the arrow shaft; and

,

a penetration threaded part extending from the stopper in a direction opposite to the connecting threaded part, and having a diameter smaller than that of the stopper, with threads formed on an outer circumference of the penetration threaded part;

an arrowhead connected to the connector in such a way as to be opposite to the connecting threaded part, and having a sharp tip;

a penetration rotary unit having on an inner circumference thereof a threaded part to be fastened to the penetration threaded part of the connector in a threaded manner, having a length shorter than that of the penetration threaded part, and having on an outer circumference thereof wings arranged at regular intervals, each of the wings having a shape of a triangular plate which is sharp at a tip thereof; and

,

a spring positioned between the stopper and the penetration rotary unit, and providing a restoring force to bias the penetration rotary unit toward the arrowhead.

2. The arrow as set forth in claim 1, wherein an entire portion of the penetration rotary unit is made of metal, or plastic is prepared for a cylindrical body of the penetration rotary unit and metal is prepared for the wings such that the penetration rotary unit is formed through injection molding, or the penetration rotary unit is formed through powder injection molding (PIM) using metal powder.

3. The arrow as set forth in claim 1, wherein the threads of the penetration threaded part and the threaded part provided on the inner circumference of the penetration rotary unit are formed into one of a double-thread screw to a five-thread screw.

4. The arrow as set forth in claim 1, wherein a longitudinal central line of each of the wings of the penetration rotary unit is inclined relative to a longitudinal central line of the penetration rotary unit, and each of the wings has a section which is curved in an arc shape.

5. The arrow as set forth in claim 4, wherein the threads of the penetration threaded part and the threaded part provided on the inner circumference of the penetration rotary unit are formed into one of a double-thread screw to a five-thread screw.

6. The arrow as set forth in claim 4, wherein an entire portion of the penetration rotary unit is made of metal, or plastic is prepared for a cylindrical body of the penetration rotary unit and metal is prepared for the wings such that the penetration rotary unit is formed through injection molding, or the penetration rotary unit is formed through powder injection molding (PIM) using metal powder.

7. The arrow as set forth in claim 6, wherein the threads of the penetration threaded part and the threaded part provided on the inner circumference of the penetration rotary unit are formed into one of a double-thread screw to a five-thread screw.

8. The arrow as set forth in claim 4, wherein a longitudinal central line of each of the feathers is inclined relative to a longitudinal central line of the arrow shaft, so that air resistance affects the feathers while the arrow shaft is flying, thus allowing the arrow shaft to rotate when flying.

9. The arrow as set forth in claim 8, wherein an entire portion of the penetration rotary unit is made of metal, or plastic is prepared for a cylindrical body of the penetration rotary unit and metal is prepared for the wings such that the penetration rotary unit is formed through injection molding, or the penetration rotary unit is formed through powder injection molding (PIM) using metal powder.

10. The arrow as set forth in claim 8, wherein the threads of the penetration threaded part and the threaded part provided on the inner circumference of the penetration rotary unit are formed into one of a double-thread screw to a five-thread screw.

11. The arrow as set forth in claim 1, wherein a longitudinal central line of each of the feathers is inclined relative to a longitudinal central line of the arrow shaft, so that air resistance affects the feathers while the arrow shaft is flying, thus allowing the arrow shaft to rotate when flying.

12. The arrow as set forth in claim 11, wherein an entire portion of the penetration rotary unit is made of metal, or plastic is prepared for a cylindrical body of the penetration rotary unit and metal is prepared for the wings such that the penetration rotary unit is formed through injection molding, or the penetration rotary unit is formed through powder injection molding (PIM) using metal powder.

13. The arrow as set forth in claim 11, wherein the threads of the penetration threaded part and the threaded part provided on the inner circumference of the penetration rotary unit are formed into one of a double-thread screw to a five-thread screw.
