Anti-slippage fastener
An anti-slippage fastener that utilizes a plurality of engagement features to prevent slippage and facilitate torque transfer between a torque-tool and the fastener. The fastener includes a shank, a fastener head, and an external threading. The fastener head includes a rotation axis and a plurality of engagement walls; wherein the engagement walls are radially distributed about the rotation axis. Each of the engagement walls includes a first transversal line, a second transversal line, and a partially-circular portion. The first transversal line is terminally connected to the partially-circular portion. The second transversal line is terminally connected to the partially-circular portion, opposite the first transversal line. A center of the partially-circular portion is oriented away from the rotation axis. The shank is concentrically connected to the fastener head to act as the body of the fastener. The external threading is laterally connected along the shank, similar to traditional fasteners.
1. An anti-slippage fastener comprising:
a shank;
a fastener head;
an external threading;
the fastener head comprising a rotation axis and a plurality of engagement walls;
the plurality of engagement walls being radially distributed about the rotation axis;
a cross section for each of the plurality of engagement walls comprising a first transversal line, a second transversal line, and a partially-circular portion;
the first transversal line being terminally connected to the partially-circular portion;
the second transversal line being terminally connected to the partially-circular portion, opposite the first transversal line;
a length of the first transversal line being greater than a length of the second transversal line or less than a length of the second transversal line;
a center of the partially-circular portion being oriented away from the rotation axis;
wherein the fastener head is outwardly extended from the cross section of each of the plurality of engagement walls;
the plurality of engagement walls delineating a tool-receiving cavity;
the shank being concentrically and terminally mounted to the fastener head;
the external threading extending along the shank; and
the external threading being laterally connected to the shank.
2. The anti-slippage fastener as claimed in claim 1 comprising:
the fastener head further comprising a first base and a second base;
the first base and the second base being positioned parallel and opposite to each other across the plurality of engagement walls;
the first base and the second base each being oriented perpendicular to each of the plurality of engagement walls; and
the shank being terminally connected to the second base.
3. The anti-slippage fastener as claimed in claim 1 comprising:
the plurality of engagement walls comprising an arbitrary engagement wall and an adjacent engagement wall; and
the second transversal line of the arbitrary engagement wall being terminally connected to the first transversal line of the adjacent engagement wall, opposite the partially-circular portion of the adjacent engagement wall.
4. The anti-slippage fastener as claimed in claim 1 comprising:
the second transversal line of the arbitrary sidewall being terminally connected to the first transversal line of the adjacent sidewall at a right angle;
wherein a quantity for the plurality of engagement walls is four.
5. The anti-slippage fastener as claimed in claim 1 comprising:
the fastener head further comprising a first base and a second base;
the first base and the second being positioned parallel and opposite to each other across the plurality of engagement walls; and
the shank being terminally connected to the second base.
6. The anti-slippage fastener as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the plurality of engagement walls tapers the tool-receiving cavity from the first base to the second base.
7. The anti-slippage fastener as claimed in claim 5 comprising:
a security pin;
the security pin being concentrically positioned with the rotation axis; and
the security pin being mounted within the tool-receiving cavity.
8. The anti-slippage fastener as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first transversal line and the second transversal line are positioned colinear with each other.
9. The anti-slippage fastener as claimed in claim 1 comprising:
an annular flange;
the annular flange being concentrically positioned with the rotation axis;
the annular flange being positioned adjacent to the fastener head; and
the annular flange being laterally connected to the shank.
10. The anti-slippage fastener as claimed in claim 1 comprising:
the fastener head being laterally delineated by the cross section of each of the plurality of engagement walls.
11. The anti-slippage fastener as claimed in claim 1 comprising:
the fastener head being laterally delineated by the cross section of each of the plurality of engagement walls;
the fastener head further comprising a first base and a second base;
