Abstract

A screw bit body which allows for efficient torque force application onto a socket fastener. The screw bit body includes a plurality of laterally-bracing sidewalls, a first base, and a second base. The laterally-bracing sidewalls are radially distributed about a rotation axis of the screw bit body with each further including a first lateral edge, a second lateral edge, a bracing surface, and an engagement cavity. The engagement cavity creates a gripping point to prevent slippage in between the screw bit body and the socket fastener. The engagement cavity traverses normal and into the concave surface and the convex surface. The engagement cavity includes an angled driving portion and a concave portion. The angled driving portion is positioned adjacent to the first lateral edge with the concave portion being positioned opposite to the first lateral edge, across the angled driving portion.

Claims (26)

1. A multi-directional driver bit comprising:

at least one screw bit body;

the screw bit body comprising a plurality of laterally-bracing sidewalls, a first base and a second base;

each of the plurality of laterally-bracing sidewalls comprising a first lateral edge, a second lateral edge, a bracing surface and an engagement cavity, the first lateral edge and the second lateral edge being positioned opposite to each other across the bracing surface, the engagement cavity traversing normal and into the bracing surface, the engagement cavity traversing into the at least one screw bit body from the first base towards the second base, the engagement cavity comprising an angled driving portion and a concave portion, the angled driving portion being positioned adjacent to the first lateral edge, the angled driving portion being positioned in between the first lateral edge and the concave portion, a first end of the angled driving portion being positioned coincident with the first lateral edge, a second end of the angled driving portion being positioned adjacent to the concave portion, the bracing surface being flat, the angled driving portion being flat;

the plurality of laterally-bracing sidewalls being radially positioned about a rotation axis of the at least one screw bit body;

the bracing surface of an arbitrary laterally-bracing sidewall among the plurality of laterally-bracing sidewalls being angularly offset from the angled driving portion of an adjacent laterally-bracing sidewall among the plurality of laterally-bracing sidewalls by an obtuse angle so as to, in conjunction with a corresponding lateral edge, create a sharp gripping tooth; and

wherein the engagement cavity tapers from the first base to the second base.

2. The multi-directional driver bit as claimed in claim 1 comprises:

an attachment body;

an engagement bore;

the attachment body being centrally positioned around and along the rotation axis;

the attachment body being connected adjacent to the second base; and

the engagement bore traversing into the attachment body along the rotation axis, opposite the screw bit body.

3. The multi-directional driver bit as claimed in claim 1 comprises:

an attachment body;

the attachment body being centrally positioned around and along the rotation axis; and

the attachment body being connected adjacent to the second base.

4. The multi-directional driver bit as claimed in claim 1 comprises:

an attachment body;

the at least one screw bit body comprises a first screw bit body and a second screw bit body;

the attachment body being centrally positioned around and along the rotation axis of the first screw bit body;

the attachment body being connected adjacent to the second base of the first screw bit body;

the second screw bit body being concentrically positioned with the first screw bit body;

the second screw bit body being positioned adjacent to the attachment body, opposite the first screw bit body;

the attachment body being connected adjacent to the second base of the second screw bit body; and

the first screw bit body and the second screw bit body being identical about a central sagittal plane of the attachment body.
