Abstract

A screw with a flat drilling end comprises a cylinder ( 1 ) with a thread ( 11 ) wrapped around and a flat drill portion ( 2 ) longitudinally extended from a distal end of the cylinder ( 1 ); a maximum thickness (T) of a transversal cross section of the flat drill portion ( 2 ) being less than a half of the maximum width (D) of the transversal cross section of the flat drill portion ( 2 ); the maximum width (D) of the transversal cross section of the flat drill portion ( 2 ) being smaller than an outer diameter of the thread ( 11 ) of the cylinder ( 1 ); the width and thickness of the transversal cross section of the flat dill portion ( 2 ) being reduced to a point tip end of the flat drill portion ( 2 ). Two opposite lateral sides form as sharp knife blades.

Claims (8)

1. A screw with a flat drilling end comprising:

a cylinder ( 1 ) having a drill end and a thread ( 11 ) wrapped around the cylinder ( 1 );

a flat drill portion ( 2 ) formed to the cylinder ( 1 ) along to the drill end of the cylinder ( 1 ) with a predetermined length;

wherein a thickness (T) of the flat drill portion ( 2 ) is less than a half of a width D of the flat drill portion ( 2 );

wherein the flat drill portion ( 2 ) has an arcuate portion formed on a top thereof and connected with the thread ( 11 );

wherein two opposite lateral surfaces of the flat drill portion ( 2 ) are two outward convex curved planes (b 1 ), (b 2 ) respectively, the two outward convex curved planes (b 1 ), (b 2 ) of the flat drill portion ( 2 ) connect with two planes (a 1 ), (a 2 ) respectively, wherein the two planes (a 1 ), (a 2 ) converge towards one another between two tilted lateral sides (c 1 )(c 2 ) in a direction of a point tip, and the two planes (a 1 ), (a 2 ) are parallel between the two outward convex curved planes (b 1 ), (b 2 ), wherein the two tilted lateral sides (c 1 ), (c 2 ) extend to a point tip end ( 3 ) of the flat drill portion ( 2 ) so as to form two sharp knife blades ( 21 ) respectively, a width of the tilted lateral side (c 1 ) decreases from a first end of the tilted lateral side (c 1 ) adjacent to the thread ( 11 ) to a second end of the tilted lateral side (c 1 ) connected with the point tip end ( 3 ), and a width of the tilted lateral side (c 2 ) decreases from a first end of the tilted lateral side (c 2 ) adjacent to the thread ( 11 ) to a second end of the tilted lateral side (c 2 ) connected with the point tip end ( 3 );

wherein the width (D) of the flat drill portion ( 2 ) is more than a diameter (d 1 ) of the cylinder ( 1 );

wherein the cylinder ( 1 ) is one-piece formed with the thread ( 11 ) and the flat drill portion ( 2 ).
