CRIME PREVENTION SEAT
FOR USE WITH A CRIME PREVENTION SCREW
This is a divisional patent application of Application No. 0207391.4 filed on 28 March 2002 (publication no. GB 2379961A).
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the invention
The present invention relates to a crime prevention screw that after the screw is tightened in desired places, a recessed portion, such as square socket, hexagon socket, cross socket and slot, formed on a screw head is covered and hence drawing-out of the screw with the intention of prank and crime can be prevented, an embedding material of a screw head for embedding in a recessed portion of the crime prevention screw, a screwuse crime prevention seat for preventing the crime prevention screw from being drawn out using tools such as pincers and pliers, and a crime prevention screw set composed of their combination.
Description of the related art
A screw of the conventional art is constituted so that a screw head is formed on a base end of a screw main body where a spiral groove is formed on its outer peripheral surface. Such a screw has heads of various shapes.
Example of a machine screw are a flat fillister head screw, a round head screw, an oval fillister head screw, a pan head screw, a binding head screw, a truss head screw, a countersunk fillister head screw and an oval head screw.
These screw heads are formed with recessed portions composed of sockets or grooves such as a square socket, a hexagon socket, a cross socket and a slot for engaging an end por ion of a tool such as a square spanner and a driver and rotating the screws.
Another example is a bolt having a hexagonal head (screw head) which is one kind of a screw, and this bolt head (screw head) is formed with such a recessed portion.
In addition, conventionally a flat seat having a doughnut shape viewed from too which is fitted into a screw main body and is received by the screw head is used for the above screws.
These screws are used in various fields. For
example, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a number plate 2 is attached to a car body 1 of an automobile A by using screws 3, 3. In this case, conventionally screws 31, 31 having a hexagonal head that the surface of the hexagonal head is formed with a cross socket, or circle fillister head screws are generally used.
Further, a car stereo and a car navigation device which are provided in a root of the automobile A are similarly fixed by countersunk head screws.
In addition, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4(a), for example, a metal-made crime prevention grid P is generally attached to an outside of a window W of a house for crime-prevention countermeasure. Lattice main bodies 4, and upper and lower later_' r.aterials 5 and 6 of tr,e metal grid B are assembled and fixed also by using screws 3. In this ca e, as shown ir rig. 4(b), coup ersa?k head screws 32 that a cress socks- is orec cr their screw heads, circle -illis -r he_c screws or pan head screT.vs, rot short, are used. Moreover, as shown in Figs. 4(a) and 4(b), also in th- case where the grid ? is attached to the outsit_ c- the T,4;'2 rod.; i, Or._ grip P is _ixed to a sash 7 that an end portion of a stay 6 of the grid P is formed integrally Edith a window rail by using slightly larger screws 3 such as countersunk head screeds or pan head screws.
When the number plate 2 is attached to the car body 1 and the grid P is attached to the outside of the window W by using the above-mentioned various screws 3 of the conventional art, the following problems arise.
More concretely, even if the number plate 2 is attached to the car body 1 by using the screws 3 (for example, the screws 31, 31) of the conventional art, the screws 3 (31) can be drawn out by using a tool such as a plus driver or a small spanner. For this reason, when or after a car is stolen, the number plate 2 is easily removed or easily replaced by another one.
When the number plate 2 is removed or replaced by another stolen number plate, it is difficult to find the stolen car. For this reason, the case that stolen high- grade cars are exported abruptly increases in many places. Moreover, cases of stealing, robbery and kidnap using stolen cars with feigned number plates occurred frequently in times past. Further, the case that screws which fix a car stereo and a car navigation device to the automobile A are loosened and these devices are stolen are inreas fig. As mentioned above, when the lattice main bodies 4, arc' t:r.e,op-r and lc;; er stays 5, 6 a-e fixed by Vising the screws 3 (_2) or the con-e.tional arc a. the grid P is attach_c to he sash 7 b,- sin_ the screws 3 of the con/etio.nal art, thes- scre-;s 3 (32j, 3 are drawn out on the outside of a house so that the lattice main bodies 4 and th- enire grid P call be re=..o-vred easily. In particular, inhabitants consider that the crime prevent on is sufficient because the grid is attached to the outside of the window W. so that they frequently leave the window W open and unlocked. For this reason, the case that a thief removes the grid R easily and opens a screen 9 and the window glasses 10, 11 and intrudes through the window W into the house and infringes stealing and felonious crime occurs frequently. At.
In the light of the fact that the screw can be remove easily as one reason which easily causes the above cases, the inventors of the invention have proceeded to develop a new screw which cannot be easily removed after it is once tightened. As a result of their enthusiasm examination, finally they have devised a crime prevention screw which cannot be loosened or removed even by using a tool such as a driver or a square bar spanner after the screw is once tightened, a screw head embedding material which can be used for not only this crime prevention screw but also screws conventionally in the market, and a screw-use crime prevention seat which prevents a screw head from being pinched and being rotated through a tool such as pincers or a spanner.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In is an ObJ eat of the present invention which has been finished through such a prehistory to provide a chine pr=V-n or- sore;: that a ter the sore, is ticater.e in predetermined places, a. e,edaing material is eb_d_ in a recessed. portico cc...posed Of a square socket, a..e':agon socke, a cross socket or a slot formed on a screw head so that the screw can be prevented from being -'awn out w th t;.e inte..tion o many- pranks and malignant crimes. Example of such crimes are car stealing through removal of a Comber plate of an automobile, resale and export of stolen automobiles, stealing and robbery or kidnapping using a stolen car, stealing of a car stereo and a car navigation device in an automobile, intrusion of a thief and a public enemy through a window into a house by means of drawing out of screws for fixing a grid to the window or screws for attaching a grid to a sash of the window.
Further, it is an object of the present invention to provide an embedding material of a screw head which embeds in screw heads of various screws including such a crime prevention screw and is capable of fixing the screws so as to prevent the screws from being drawn out.
Furthermore, it is an another object of the invention to provide a screwuse crime prevention seat which can prevent a prank that the screw head is pinched by pincers or pliers to be loosened and drawn out (in the case where such prank cannot be prevented by even using the crime prevention screw and the embedding material) and the above-mentioned crimes derived from this prank.
Further, it is still another object of the invention to provide a crime prevention screw set composed of the crime prevention screw and the embedding material or a crime prevention screw set composed of the crime prevention screw and the embedding material andthe screw-use crime prevention seat.
r. crime prevention screw of the preset. ir.ven_ion from G -' rst aspe t w- ch is on- ,_...ea-.s tc solve the above problems, is chara-.erize in.--t _ recessed portion which is composed of a square socket, a hexagon socket, a CEQSS socket Cal -. slot for e-. _gir.g and rotating an end portion of a tool such as a square bar spanner or a driver is omed on a screw head, and a recessed engagement portion is formed or. a partial place of an inner wall of the recessed portion such that one of an expanded portion formed by buckling a part of an embedding material for embedding in the recessed portion and a protrusion to which a force is applied to the side of the embedding material for embedding in the recessed portion comes into the engagement portion, whereby the embedding material is prevented from coming off.
The basic technical idea of the crime prevention screw of the present invention is characterized in that after the screw is tightened, an embedding material is embedded in a socket or a groove such as a square socket, a hexagon socket, a cross socket or a slot so as not to loosen and remove the screw using a tool such as a square bar spanner or a driver. However, only when the embedding material simply embeds in the socket or the groove, the embedding material easily comes off or is drawn out forcibly by catching it through an end of the tool such as a driver. For this reason, the inventors have finished the crime prevention screw in combination with a plurality of techniques for preventing the embedding material from coming off.
Tts one example is the crime prevention screw of the first aspect. The crime prevention screw is a n-_2cgism that a screw:,:-i r2- C-.. take a c. ime-prevention - -so-- s simplif en.. . .h- S:^^ or the groove s:-2:-1 as a stare so_'e., a hexago- socks, s cross so_ke.

In the present invention, before the explanation about how to embed a.d fix the e...oedding material in/io the recessed portion formed on the screw head of the crime prevention screw of the first aspect, the embedding material to be used in the first aspect will be simply explained.
In the present invention, the most suitable examples of the embedding material to be used for the crime prevention screw of the first aspect are the following two kinds of embedding materials. One is an embedding material which has a size and a shape such that it can fitted into the recessed portion of the screw head of the crime prevention screw in a state that its one portion remains outside and is formed by a soft material such that at least its end portion is buckled easily.
This embedding material is embedded into the recessed portion by tapping the portion extended from the recessed portion using a hammer or the like until this portion is flush with the screw head and buckling the end portion.
The other one is an embedding material which has a size such that it can just fitted into the recessed portion and has a vicinity portion including the end of its side surface to which a force directing outward is applied and is formed with a protrusion facing sideways ^-t -ts egg ooriD-i.
In the present invention, the crime prevention sir_; -, me rs' -s?^- s cor.situte so that _ so:: .^ :: -c =. -- a At - ? of he inn- ,ial o- t.-. r-:_ssed portion a.-; c: po__i cr.

prevented from coming out of the recessed portion.
T.s 'or the most suitable place of the inner wall of the recessed portion where the engagement portion is provided, the inward end portion of the inner wall is the most suitable, and it is the most suitable that the engagement portion is formed slightly wide to be slightly higher than the inward end portion. This is because the buckled and expanded portion of the above-mentioned former embedding material easily come into and is engaged with the recessed portion and the applied force of the abovementioned latter embedding material acts the most efficiently.
In addition, in the case where, for example, the recessed portion is a hexagon socket, as to the engagement portion is formed wide along its entire periphery or a part of the engagement portion is formed wide is not necessarily limited. However, the former state is the most suitable because the engagement due to the buckling and the protrusion should be desirably carried out securely.
The shape of the engagement portion is not particularly limited as long as the buckled portion and the protrusion come into the engagement portion easily and they do not comes out of it. It is necessary to pr^i-. rd a shape such ha. the recessed portion is not cracked and is deformed or broken when the screw is tic- Ones' by Opel-. -ad score bar sca.ne or a derive' -- In- ,-^ e---; - 's i _ _ _ _. _. _!.. i _ _ _.

In the present invention, a crime prevention screw of the second aspect is characterized in that a recessed portion which is composed of a square socket, a hexagon socket, a cross socket or a slot for engaging and rotating an end portion of a tool such as a square bar spanner or a driver is formed on a screw head, and a recessed engagement portion where its inside is wider than an entrance is formed on a bottom portion of the recessed portion such that one of a protrusion formed at an end of an embedding material for embedding in the recessed portion and one end portion of a connecting member for connecting the embedding material to the screw head comes into the engagement portion, whereby the embedding material is prevented from coming off.
In the present invention, the crime prevention screw of the first aspect is constituted so that the engagement portion is formed on the side wall of the recessed portion, but the crime prevention screw of the second aspect is constituted so that the engagement portion is formed on the bottom of the recessed portion.
The above-mentioned contents are directly applied to the othe-- portions.

One is an embedding material that a protrusion, which has a size with an allowance such that it is pushed into the engagement portion formed on the bottom of the recessed portion and is easily buckled, is formed at an end portion of an embedding material main body having a shape such that it can be just embedded in the recessed portion of the crime prevention screw. The protrusion is formed by a soft metal material such as lead, copper, zinc, aluminum or tin, or alloy mainly containing one kind or plural kinds of them.
The other one is an embedding material which is composed of two members: an embedding material main body; and a connecting member. The embedding material main body has a shape such that it can be just embedded in the recessed portion of the crime prevention screw and is formed with a recessed engagement portion, which is opposed to the engagement portion of the crime prevention screw, on its lower surface. The connecting member has a size with an allowance such that it is pushed into both the engagement portions and is formed by a soft metal material, which is easily buckled, such as lead, copper, zinc, aluminum or tin, or alloy mainly containing one kind or plural kinds of them.
The former embedding material which is in the state tha. its pro-rusicn is pushed into ine engagement portion formed on the- bottom of the crime prevention screw is a?_: be a Her '2 the e..b-:l'.--n Material rater b,dv _.. Is. ; . t:_ _: _ _.c _ result, the protrusion is buckled in t:-!_ engagement portion to be expanded sideways, and the em'oedding Material Min 'code -s fixed s-- rely i: to a-.-._ on- Of it.
As for the latter embedding material, in the state Gina one end portion of the connecting me.,ber is put into the engagement portion of the embedding material main body, the other end of the- connecting member is pushed into the recessed engagement portion of the crime prevention screw, and the embedding material main body is tapped by a hammer until it is flush with the surface of the screw head. As a result, both ends of the protrusion are buckled in both the engagement portions so as to be expanded sideways and engaged with them so that the embedding material main body is fixed securely so as not to come out of it.
As to which embedding material is used, it depends upon the size of the crime prevention screw and the height of the screw head. The former embedding material is suitable for the case of a comparatively small screw, and the latter embedding material is suitable for the cases of a comparatively large crime prevention screw and a crime prevention screw that the screw head is comparatively high.
The inside of the engagement portion is wider than its entrance so that the soft metal material is buckled in the engagement portion of the crime prevention screw of the second aspect. The shape of the engagement portion is r.o par icularly limited as ions as the shape can prevent the above-mentioned coming-off. For example, Ah S iamb A.-.

screws having such an engagement portion are a machine screw, a set screw, a square screw, an embedded screw, a bolt and a wood screw, and one of them can be selected.
The machine screw is a small screw which is threaded into a tapped hole. Examples of the machine screw having various screw head shapes are a flat fillister head screw, a round head screw, an oval fillister head screw, a pan head screw, a binding head screw, a truss head screw, a flat countersunk head screw and an oval head screw. The square screw is a screw having square spiral groove and thread. The bolt is a screw corresponding to a nut, and in the present invention the bolt the above- mentioned recessed portion should be formed on the screw head of the bolt. However, in the case where a bolt having a hexagonal screw head is used, a screw-use crime prevention seat, mentioned later, should be used so as to prevent the bolt from being loosened and being removed by a spanner.
The respective recessed portions of the crime prevention screw of the first aspect having such a shape are formed by cutting by means of a tool such as a special gullet cutting edge or a tap or an automatic machine having the cutting edge of these tools at the manufacturing step. Hcwever, a screw in the market can be finished throw r! sac- a process.

Even if the square bar spanner or the d-e- canno be used, in the case here the screw head o- the crime prevention screw has a shape such that the screw head can be pinched by a tool such as pincers or pliers, namely, a shape with comparatively less roundness like a flat fillister head screw, an oval fillister head screw or a pan head screw or in the case of a high set screw with a hexagon socket, these screws can be pinched and rotated by the tool. For this reason, it is desirable that the crime prevention screws having the screw heads of such shapes are changed so as to have a shape such that the screw heads hardly pinched by the tool such as pincers or pliers.
Therefore, as one of its countermeasures, a fourth aspect of the present invention specifies that the screw head of the crime prevention screw of the firs. or second aspect has a curved surface shape such the the screw head is hardly pinched by a pinching tool such as pincers. Namely, the entire screw head has roundness like a round head screw or has an almost flat shape like a flat countersunk head screw.
There will be explained below the embedding material of the present invention.

When the embedding material main body is formed by the comparatively hard metal material, even if the embedding material is broken or chipped or by the end of the driver, it is not influenced at all. When the embedding material main body is formed by the material which is the same as the material of the crime prevention screw, the embedded portion is hardly recognized and the appearance becomes good.
The above-mentioned embedding material is buckled so as not to come off, but the embedding material of the present invention is not limited to this engagement structure.
One example of such an embedding material is an embedding material according to a seventh aspect of the present invention.
An embedding material of a screw head according to the seventh aspect (hereinafter, the embedding material) for embedding in the recessed portion, for pushing a tool thereinto, composed of a square socket, a hexagon socket, a cross socket or a slot and formed on the screw head of the varic s crime prevention screw is characterized in t.._t tr:e e.. beddir!g r-.a'cerial has a space and a size such ! , . that it can be pressed into the recessed portion and an - : :-; _ . _...i.:, i_. . i _. _ _ _ O _! ._ _. it -:--_.:.--c- -.i^- c:::-. ins: .- eng---.e::- per ice. c:..

The embedding Material embeds in the recessed portionand the protrusion formed on the end portion on the side wall of the embedding material is pushed into the engagement portion so that the embedding material are prevented from coming off.
This embedding material is roughly classified into two types.
One of them is an embedding material such that four side edges of a metal spring plate are bent downward so as to have a shape corresponding to the inner wall of the recessed portion and the lower end edges is slightly bent outward, preferably obliquely upper outward and when the embedding material is put into the recessed portion, the protrusion as the slightly bent portion is engaged with the engagement portion of the crime prevention screw with a force is applied to the protrusion. The center surface of the embedding material embeds in the recessed portion, and this embedding material corresponds to the crime prevention screw having a large recessed portion due to a problem of figuration. The surface portion at least should not be protruded from the recessed portion.
The other one is a resin-made embedding material and this em_dtin m'erial also has the anproxima ely same shape and function as those of the above-mentioned --be^. no.;- e al f^rr=c by t..e mesa sprung c'--e.

There will be explained below an embedding material of a screw head according to an eighth aspect of the present invention.
In the present invention, an embedding material of a screw head according to the eighth aspect (hereinafter, the embedding material) is characterized inthat the embedding material is a material for embedding in the recessed portion, for pushing a tool thereinto, composed of a square socket, a hexagon socket, a cross socket or a slot and has a shape and a size such that it can embed in the recessed portion through tapping or pressurizing-into and a suitable portion of its side wall is formed with rags or burrs for preventing the embedding material from coming off.
This embedding material is different from the above-mentioned embedding materials and can correspond also to screws of the conventional art in the market.
This embedding material has a shape such that it can be just fitted into the recessed portion formed on the screw head such as a square socket, a hexagon socket, a cross socket or a slot and is made of hard metal such as iron, stainless or sure- steel. Its side sir ace is formed with rags or burrs.

The burrs are substitutes for the rags and are formed sideways on a peripheral edge of the end portion of the embedding material.
Such an embedding material is convenient and economical because it can convert various screws conventionally in the market into crime prevention screws.
The above explanation referred to that when the screw head of the crime prevention screw is formed into a round shape, it is hardly pinched by a tool such as pincers or pliers. It is originally desirable that the shape of the screw head can be selected freely according to attaching places, and a shape such that the screw head can be pinched easily by pincers or pliers is occasionally required.
In order to cope with such a case, the present invention according to a ninth aspect is constituted so that even if such a screw is used, the tightened screw is prevented from being loosened or being drawn out by using a crime prevention seat.
A screw-use crime prevention seat of the ninth aspect (hereinafter, the crime prevention seat) having a doughnut strap_ viewed from top suc'.r t'. at the crime prevention seat is fitted into the screw main body of the Or m- Best n'iQn s-e-: according Lo On- Cat- he first :--C,.i-'-. -it - -s Is =..

This crime prevention seat corresponding to a shape and a size of the screw head to be used is prepared. t is desirable that an outer peripheral portion of the rise portion is formed by a round tilted surface like a screw head of a round head screw and its height is about the same as a height of the screw head. A lower step portion surrounded by the rise portion has the approximately same diameter as an outer peripheral diameter of the screw head, and its center is formed with a hole fort inserting the main body of the screw thereinto.
When this crime prevention seat is used, the seat prevents the screw head from being pinched by the tool such as pincers or pliers. Further, even if the crime prevention seat is tried to be pinched by the tool, it cannot be pinched due to slipping. Moreover, the crime prevention seat is tried to be pinched forcibly, only the seat is rotated idly so that the crime prevention screw is not loosen or drawn out. For this reason, the screw cannot be drawn out mockingly or with the intention of crimes. As a result, the crime prevention seat is not required for the screw such as a round head screw having a shape such that its screw head is hardly pinched by the tools.
This crime prevention seat is used together with the crime preTe-.'ior. scr_ and the eredd-ng material of the present invention so as to display its: function.

If the various screws including the above-mentioned crime prevention screws and the embedding materials are not combined as sets correspondingly, they are not convenient and are hardly sold. This is applied also to the crime prevention seat.
For this reason, in a tenth aspect, theinventors allows also a crime prevention screw set, which is composed of combinations of the crime prevention screw according to one of the first through fourth aspects or the other various screws, the embedding material of a screw head according to one of the fifth through eighth aspects and/or the screw-use crime prevention seat according to the ninth aspect, to cover the present invention.
In the present invention, as for various screws, various screws conventionally in the market can be used suitably.
