US Patent 11852454 Broadhead blade gravity lock and inertia release apparatus and method

A broadhead blade gravity lock and inertia release apparatus and method consists of a. support structure with a locking pin channel. A blade is attached with the support structure such that the blade is movable from a first position to a second position. A pressure device is connected with the blade where the pressure device is configured to apply pressure to the blade. A locking pin is located in the locking pin channel where the locking pin is free to move toward and away from the blade within the locking pin channel and where the locking pin is configured to releasably connect with the blade such that when the blade is connected with the locking pin the blade is held in the first position by the pressure on the blade and where compressive force on the blade releases the blade from the locking pin such that the pressure device then pressures the blade to the second position and where, when connection with the blade is removed, the locking pin is free to move away from the blade within the locking pin channel.
