The present invention relates to screws; and in particular to a screw with winding ribs thereon for cutting dregs in drilling and compressing the dregs therein so that the dregs expose out after screwing.
Screws are used to fix one object to another one. The design of the screw is based on the materials and characteristics of the materials.
However, in screwing, material features of the screw, such as hardness, density and textures of the materials, will induce the problems such that in drilling, the dregs from drilling left on outer side of the wall of the object to be drilled so as to deteriorate the appearance of the object to be drilled. To improve such problem, ribs, such as block-form ribs, linear ribs, arc ribs, sharp ribs and others, are developed to prevent the problem of the dregs on the outer side of the object to be drilled. However, all the prior arts are not perfect.
To improve above mentioned problem of the prior art, the present invention provides a new screw which can cause that the dregs in screwing are compressed into the object so as to tighten the screw to the object to be drilled and no dregs expose out.
To achieve above objective, the present invention provides a screw capable of cutting dregs and compressing dregs in an object to be drilled, comprising: a tapered head with a larger upper end and a small lower end; at least one rib being formed on and winds around the tapered area of the head; wherein each of the rib is formed by an outer wall with a first slope with respect to an outer wall of a tapered surface of the head and an inner wall with a second slope with respect to an outer wall of the tapered surface of the head; the connection of the inner wall and outer wall is formed as a sharp knife portion; a Y axis is defined as an axis parallel to an axis of the head and the stem of the screw and an X axis is an axis vertical to the X axis; outer wall is in the right upper area divided by the X axis and the Y axis, and the inner wall is in the left upper area divided by the X axis and the Y axis; and the knife is a spiral knife winding around the tapered surface of the head.
Furthermore, preferable there are at least two ribs. Moreover, each rib winds around the tapered surface of the head with an angle being equal to or larger than 360 degrees.
Therefore, by above mentioned structure, in screwing, the ribs around the head will cut the dregs in drilling of the screw and then the dregs will be compressed by the head and then are pressed by the head into the object to be drilled so as to increase the tightness of the screws to the object to be drilled. Furthermore the outer side of the object is clean. The screw is tightly engaged to the object to be drilled.
In order that those skilled in the art can further understand the present invention, a description will be provided in the following in details. However, these descriptions and the appended drawings are only used to cause those skilled in the art to understand the objects, features, and characteristics of the present invention, but not to be used to confine the scope and spirit of the present invention defined in the appended claims.
With reference to
Each of the ribs 2, 3 is formed by an outer wall 21, 31 with a slope A with respect to an outer wall of the tapered surface of the head and an inner wall 22, 32 with a slope B with respect to an outer wall of the tapered surface of the head. The connection of the inner wall 22,32 and outer wall 21,31 is formed as a sharp knife portion C. In this embodiment, a Y axis is defined as an axis parallel to an axis of the head and the stem of the screw and an X axis is an axis vertical to the X axis. As illustrated in the drawings, the outer wall 21,31 is in the right upper area divided by the X axis and the Y axis, and the inner wall 22,32 is in the left upper area divided by the X axis and the Y axis. The knife C is a spiral knife winding around the tapered surface of the head.
By above mentioned structure, in screwing, the ribs around the head will cut the dregs in drilling of the screw and then the dregs will be compressed by the head and then are pressed by the head into the object to be drilled so as to increase the tightness of the screws to the object to be drilled. Furthermore the outer side of the object is clean. The screw is tightly engaged to the object to be drilled.
The present invention is thus described, it will be obvious that the same may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and all such modifications as would be obvious to one skilled in the art are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims.
