Definitions
- the present invention pertains to a screw with a head shaped in a top-cut oval cone which spreads'out downwardly and which has a round top surface and also has an oval circumference with a slightly longer diameter than that of said circle.
- the top surface is planed into a circle and the longer diameter part of the original oval top surface is made into a slow arc slope toward the upper edge of the top-cut oval cone which is planed off.
- the object of the present invention is to provide, in combination with a driver, a new and improved head construction which overcomes the objections inherent in the wood and machine screws heretofore used and possesses the following outstanding advantages, namely, presents a neater and more ornamental appear'ance than the slotted and hexagonal heads heretofore used, can be fit in a socket-type screw driver smoothly and securely, and can be driven at higher speed and tightened to the desired degree with far less efforts and attention than ordinary screws and without any danger of the head becoming disfigured or the adjacent surfaces marred, and can be manufactured by high speed production methods at lower costs than ordinary screws.
- FIG. 1 is a plan view of the oval screw according to the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is a corresponding elevation.
- FIG. 3 is a side view and FIG. 4 is a front view to show the state that the socket-type screw driver is put on the screw head.
- FIGS. v1-3 -reference numeral 1 denotes a screw body and the numeral 2 a screw head.
- the screw head 2 is made into a top-cut oval cone which is narrowed upward. Its top surface 3 is made into a circle with edge having been planed off.
- the diameter of said circle corresponds to the shorter diameter of the top surface 3 of said top-cut oval cone, whereby the longer diameter part of the original oval top surface protrudes slightly from the circumference of the circle.
- Such protruded part is made into a slow arc slope 4 toward the upper edge of the top-cut oval cone.
- the screw can be easily screwed in by putting a socket-type screw driver 5, which fits the slope of the top-cut oval cone, onto the screw head 2 as seen in FIG. 4 and by turning said screw driver.
- the slope of the top-cut oval cone offers resistance to the inner surface of the socket of the screw driver 5 thus driving the screw.
- the side of the screw head 2 is of the shape of a topcut oval cone which is narrowed upward, and yet the upper edge of the screw head 2 is planed off into an arc slope shape, due to which the screw driver 5 can be easily put on the screw head 2 and can be guided by said slope so as to engage with the screw head 2 smoothly and securely.
- the socket of the screw driver 5 is shaped in such a way as it has gaps 7'and 8 respec- I tively between the top surface 3 of the screw head 2 and the inner surface of the socket and between the edge of the socket and the object 6 to be screwed.
- the angle a of the slope of the screw head 2 is about 6 from a perpendicular line at the lower edge of the screw head 2.
- the top surface 3 of the screw head 2 is shaped into a circle with planed edge and yet the circle is succeeded by the slope at the larger diameter part of the top-cut oval cone via the slow arc slope 4, whereby the screw head 2 as a whole'gives the illusion as if it were a complete circle. Therefore, the screw head after having been applied to the object to be screwed gives a very good appearance as if it were the round head of a rivet. 7
- top surface 3 of the screw head 2 is round as described above and the edge of the circle to be succeeded by the larger diameter part of the top-cut oval cone is shaped into the slow arc slope 4 and yet is planed off more than that to be succeeded by the shorter diameter part.
- the present invention has such advantage as it is possible to produce a screw being very simple in structure and yet excellent in both appearance and function.
- a screw threaded fastening element comprising:
- a tool engaging head having coaxially arranged upper and lowersurfaces and an inclined side portion connecting said upper and lower surfaces and adapted to engage a tool, said upper surface being smaller than said lower surface, said lower surface being fiat and connected to said threaded shank portion at an end of said shank portion, said upper surface having a circular cross section, said lower surface having an elliptical cross section having a majoraxis and a minor axis, said inclined side portion tapering upwardly from said elliptical lower surface to said circular upper surface and having a .3 v 4 varying radius of curvature, said radius of curvacal lower surface. ture being a minimum value at the intersection of 2.
