Saw tooth screw
A saw tooth screw provides a screw thread divided into a first and a second thread sections. A plurality of slots, inclined with respect to a shank axial line, are disposed on each thread of the first thread section for dividing the thread into a plurality of thread segments, wherein each of the thread segment has a first inclined surface and a second inclined surface on two ends thereof; the first inclined surface is parallel to the second inclined surface. The thread of the second thread section is formed of a saw-tooth-shape by having recesses extending from a shank to an outer edge of the thread for debris of object to exit through the slots, thereby reducing the screwing torsion and increasing the screwing rotation speed.
1. A saw tooth screw comprising:
a head;
a shank with a shank axial line longitudinally extending from said head;
a first thread section, and
a second thread section, wherein, said first thread section spirally extends from said head along the shank axial line of said shank to said second thread section;
each thread of said first and said second thread sections having an upper flank and a lower flank disposed opposing thereto; said thread in said first thread section being interrupted by a plurality of slots inclined with respect to said shank axial line by an angle which divide said thread into thread segments; each of said thread segments having a first inclined surface parallel to a second inclined surface; said thread in said second thread section forming a plurality of recesses depressed on said upper and said lower flanks, which radially extend from said shank to an outer edge of said thread.
2. The screw as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said recesses on said upper flank and said bottom flank are arranged offset with each other for forming an undulated cutting edge.
3. The screw as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said recesses on said upper flank and said bottom flank are arranged opposing to each other for forming a tooth-shaped cutting edge.
