Drain bolt configured to be forcibly withdrawn
View Patent ↗A drain bolt configured to be forcibly withdrawn from an oil tank. The drain bolt includes a fastening screw section integrally formed on one side of a head and an elastic screw section coupled to the distal end of the fastening screw section. The elastic screw section formed of a soft material has extension threads continuous to threads of the fastening screw section. The color of the elastic screw section is distinguishable from the color of the fastening screw section. The elastic screw section can be separated from a female thread portion of the oil tank due to force applied by a user or a mechanic. Even when the fastening screw section is separated from the female thread portion of the oil tank, the sealing ability between the drain bolt and the female thread portion is maintained due to the elastic screw section remaining in the meshed position.
1. A drain bolt configured to be forcibly withdrawn, comprising:
a fastening screw section integrally formed on one side of a head; and
an elastic screw section coupled to a distal end of the fastening screw section, the elastic screw section having extension threads continuous to threads of the fastening screw section and being formed of a soft material,
wherein a color of the elastic screw section is distinguishable from a color of the fastening screw section.
2. The drain bolt according to claim 1 , wherein the fastening screw section has a fastening groove in a distal end thereof, and the elastic screw section has a fitting portion protruding from one side thereof, the fitting portion being able to be fixedly fitted into the fastening groove, wherein the fastening groove comprises a hexagonal groove and the fitting portion comprises a hexagonal column such that the fastening groove and the fitting portion are unable to rotate from each other when coupled to each other.
3. The drain bolt according to claim 2 , wherein the fastening groove has a catch groove formed in an inner surface thereof, and the fitting portion has a catch projection formed on an outer surface thereof to correspond to the catch groove, such that the elastic screw section is fixedly coupled to the fastening screw section due to fastening force between the catch groove and the catch projection.
4. The drain bolt according to claim 1 , further comprising a magnetic member fixedly fitted into a magnet recess formed in a distal end of the elastic screw section, wherein the magnet recess has a fastening projection on an inner surface thereof and the magnetic member has a fastening groove in an outer surface thereto to correspond to the fastening projection, such that the magnetic member is fixedly coupled to the elastic screw section due to fastening force between the fastening projection and the fastening groove.
5. The drain bolt according to claim 4 , wherein the elastic screw section has a trapping recess in the distal end thereof.
6. The drain bolt according to claim 1 , wherein the head has a decoration recess in an outer surface thereof,
the drain bolt further comprising a light decorative member fitted into the decoration recess of the head.
