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 an additional gripping point to prevent slippage in between the screw bit body and the socket fastener. The engagement cavity traverses normal and into the bracing surface. Additionally, the engagement cavity traverses into the screw bit body from the first base to the second base. The engagement cavity is specifically positioned offset from the first lateral edge by a first distance.

Claims (29)

1. An advanced holding apparatus comprising:

at least one screw bit body;

an attachment body;

the at least one 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 at least one engagement cavity;

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

the first base being flat and oriented perpendicular to the bracing surface of each of the plurality of laterally-bracing sidewalls;

the first lateral edge and the second lateral edge being positioned opposite to each other across the bracing surface;

the at least one engagement cavity extending normal and into the bracing surface;

the at least one engagement cavity extending into the at least one screw bit body from the first base towards the second base;

the at least one engagement cavity being positioned offset from the first lateral edge by a first distance;

the at least one engagement cavity being positioned offset from the second lateral edge by a second distance;

the first distance being equal to the second distance;

an entire cross-section of the at least one engagement cavity being parallel to the first base and the second base;

the entire cross-section of the at least one engagement cavity being a triangular profile;

the triangular profile comprising a plurality of vertexes and a pair of elongated portions;

the pair of elongated portions being interspersed amongst the plurality of vertexes;

each of the pair of elongated portions being a shape selected from the group consisting of: concave and convex;

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

the attachment body being connected adjacent to the second base.

2. The advanced holding apparatus as claimed in claim 1 comprising:

the at least one screw bit body further comprising a plurality of intermittent sidewalls;

the plurality of intermittent sidewalls each being a flat surface;

the plurality of intermittent sidewalls being radially positioned about the rotation axis; and

the plurality of intermittent sidewalls being interspersed amongst the plurality of laterally-bracing sidewalls.

3. The advanced holding apparatus as claimed in claim 1 comprising:

the first base comprising a first base surface;

the first base surface and the bracing surface each being flat; and

the first base surface and the bracing surface being oriented perpendicular to each other.
