Abstract
A structure of a screw is provided, including a shank extending downward from a screw head. The shank has an outer circumferential surface on which a thread extending spirally around is formed. The shank has a lower end forming a tapering tail section. The thread does not extend into the tapering tail section. The tapering tail section is provided with at least one rib raised on a surface thereof. The rib has an edge that is made in a wavy-toothed form so as to improve the capability of the screw for cutting and chip removal and also to reduce a screw-in torque of a screwing operation of the screw to thereby achieve an effect of saving labor and time in conducting an operation and also to prevent the occurrence of defects of wood cracking to enhance the quality of an operation conducted with the screw.
Description
(a) TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates generally to a structure of a screw, and more particularly to a screw structure that improves cutting and chip removal capability of a screw and also helps reduce the magnitude of torque required for a screwing operation of the screw to thereby achieve an effect of saving labor and time for the operation, and also to help prevent cracking of wood to enhance quality of an operation conducted with the screw.


(b) DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART

Wood screws are generally used in wooden work pieces for connection. The wood screws have a capability of drilling a hole in a wood material and at the same tapping the hole so as to allow for quick connection of the wooden work pieces.


As shown in FIGS. 1 and 1A, a conventional screw 1 comprises a screw head 11 and a shank 12 extending downward from the screw head 11. The shank 12 has an outer circumferential surface on which an external thread 13 is formed in a spirally surrounding form. A lower end of the shank 12 forms a tapering tail section 14. To improve the capability of the screw 1 for wood cutting and chip removal, ribs 15 are formed as being raised from the circumferential surface of the shank 12 between turns of the thread 13 so that with such an arrangement of the ribs 15, the performance of the screw 1 in respect of cutting and chip removal is improved.


Although such a screw 1 is effective in improving the operation of the screw 1 in screwing and cutting, it is still a challenge of the screw manufacturers to provide a structure of a screw 1 that effectively protects a wooden work piece from cracking during an operation that the screw 1 is screwed, through drilling and cutting, into the wooden work piece and reduces a friction-induced torque in screwing and thus helps smoothly remove of wood chips.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a solution that overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art that a wooden work piece may readily crack, due to excessive pressure applied thereto caused by the prior art screw, so as to damage the structural strength of the wooden work piece and a fastening effect desired to be achieved with the screw.


The technical solution that is adopted in the present invention to achieve the above objective is a structure of a screw, which comprises a shank extending downward from a screw head. The shank has an outer circumferential surface on which a thread extending spirally around is formed. The shank has a lower end forming a tapering tail section. The thread does not extend into the tapering tail section. The tapering tail section is provided with at least one rib raised on a surface thereof and the rib has an edge that is made in a wavy-toothed form.


An efficacy that the above-described technical solution of the present invention may achieve is that the tapering tail section of the screw is formed with at least one rib raised on a surface thereof and the rib has an edge that is made in a wavy-toothed form, in order to improve a cutting and chip removal capability of the screw and also to reduce a screw-in torque of a screwing operation of the screw to thereby achieve an effect of saving labor and time in conducting an operation, wherein the unique arrangement of the edge provides an effect of cutting, chipping, and destructing wood fibers and also prevents the occurrence of defects of wood cracking to enhance the quality of an operation conducted with the screw.


Another efficacy that the above-described technical solution of the present invention may achieve is that the rib can be alternatively made as a dot-form rib through arrangement of dot bumps, wherein the dots that form the dot-form rib can be of a circular arc form or a pyramidal form, wherein the unique arrangement of the edge provides an effect of cutting, chipping, and destructing wood fibers to thereby improve a cutting and chip removal capability of the screw and also to reduce a screw-in torque of a screwing operation of the screw and thus achieve an effect of saving labor and time in conducting an operation and also to prevent the occurrence of defects of wood cracking to enhance the quality of an operation conducted with the screw.


The foregoing objectives and summary provide only a brief introduction to the present invention. To fully appreciate these and other objects of the present invention as well as the invention itself, all of which will become apparent to those skilled in the art, the following detailed description of the invention and the claims should be read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
