Self-Tapping Or Thread-Forming Screw

US Patent:
4104446, Aug 1, 1978
Filed:
Sep 14, 1976
Appl. No.:
5/723329
Inventors:
Lawrence D. Johnson - Rockford IL
Assignee:
Keystone Consolidated Industries, Inc. - Peoria IL
International Classification:
B21H 302, B21H 310
US Classification:
428585
Abstract:
An improved self-tapping or thread-forming screw where the thread configuration on the screw end swages or forms the thread in an object to be threaded rather than cutting and removing a portion of the material of the object. The screw is provided with a threaded shank terminating in a tapered thread-forming end having four equi-spaced flattened surfaces separated by four threaded lobes or corners, and each corner is provided with a leading flattened surface in place of a portion of the radius to provide a partially threaded relief area in addition to the full relief areas formed by the flattened sides.
