"CRACK-PROOF SCREW"
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to screws, and in particular to a crack-
proof screw which includes a rod thread, expanding threads and drilling
threads.
The screw of the present invention can drill an object quickly with less force
and
achieve the object of the crack-proof.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Many design ways are used in designs of screws, such as single
section, double sections, single thread, double threads, single diameter,
double
diameters, single pitch angle, double pitch angles, etc. All these designs
present
different effects in use of screws, such as the effects of drilling speeds,
dregs
removing, and retaining.
In the design of the screws, the designs of screws are based on
the characters of the material and the object to be drilled. Generally, screws
are
made of different material, such as woods, plastics, metals, compound
materials,
etc. For a screw screwing into a wood, due to the property of the wood, it is
often
that the wood will crack. Thus it is necessary to have screws which have the
property of crack proof.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The object of the present invention is to provide a crack-proof screw
which includes a rod thread, expanding threads and drilling threads. The screw
of
the present invention can drill an object quickly with less force and achieve
the
object of the crack-proof.
To achieve above object, the present invention provides a crack-proof
screw comprising: a head having a lateral surface which is formed with an
axial
annular outer ring at an upper side thereof; an upper annular area of the
annular
outer ring being a flat ring portion and a lower annular area of the annular
outer ring
being a ratchet tooth area; a lower side of the lateral surface of the head
being
formed with ratchet teeth; a rod having a first end extending from the head
and
having a rod thread near the head and expanding threads far away from the
head;
each expanding thread encircled through an angle smaller than 360 degrees; the

screwing direction of the expanding thread being identical to or different
from that of
the rod thread; an angle A being defined an angle between an upper side of
each
expanding thread and a line vertical to a surface of the rod; an angle B being

defined an angle between an lower side of each expanding thread and a line
vertical to a surface of the rod; the angle B being greater than the angle A
and the
summation of the angle B and angel A being equal to or greater than 90
degrees;
and a tapered tail extending from a second end of the head; the expanding
threads
on the rod being near the tapered tail; the tapered tail having two drilling
threads;
each drilling thread can be extended to or not extended to the tip end of the
tapered
tail.

The various objects and advantages of the present invention will be
more readily understood from the following detailed description when read in
conjunction with the appended drawing.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Fig. 1 shows the structure of the present invention.
Fig. 2 is a cross sectional view viewed from the line 2-2 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a schematic view showing the angles relations of the upper
side and the lower side of the expanding thread.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
In order that those skilled in the art can further understand the present
invention, a description will be provided in the following in details.
However, these
descriptions and the appended drawings are only used to cause those skilled in
the
art to understand the objects, features, and characteristics of the present
invention,
but not to be used to confine the scope and spirit of the present invention
defined in
the appended claims.
Referring to Fig. 1, the embodiment of the present invention is
illustrated. The crack-proof screw of the present invention includes the
following
elements.
A head 1 has a lateral surface which is formed with an axial annular
outer ring at an upper side thereof. An upper annular area of the annular
outer ring
is a flat ring portion 12 and a lower annular area of the annular outer ring
is a
3

CA 02708419 2016-08-25
ratchet tooth area 13. A lower side of the lateral surface of the head 1 is
formed
with ratchet teeth 14. However, within the scope of the present invention, the
head
1 may have other form which is not used to confine the scope of the present
invention.
A rod 10 has a first end extending from the head 1 and has a rod
thread 12 near the head 1 and expanding threads 3 far away from the head 1.
Each expanding thread 3 is encircled through an angle smaller than
360 degrees. The screwing direction of the expanding thread 3 is identical to
or
different from that of the rod thread 12. An angle A is defined as an angle
between
an upper side 3A of each expanding thread 3 and a line vertical to a surface
of the
rod 10. An angle B is defined as an angle between a lower side 3B of each
expanding thread 3 and a line vertical to a surface of the rod 10. In that,
the angle
B is greater than the angle A and the summation of the angle B and angel A is
equal to or greater than 90 degrees.
A tapered tail 11 extends from a second end of the rod 10. The
expanding threads 3 on the rod 10 are near the tapered tail 11. The tapered
tail 11
has two drilling threads 4. Each drilling thread 4 can be extended to or not
extended to the tip end 110 of the tapered tail 11.
Thus, by the structure of the present invention, the designs of the rod
thread 12, the expanding threads 3 and the drilling threads 4, the screw of
the
present invention can drill an object quickly with less force and achieve the
object of
the crack-proof.

CA 02708419 2010-06-21
The present invention is thus described, it will be obvious that the
same may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as a
departure from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and all such
modifications as would be obvious to one skilled in the art are intended to be
included within the scope of the following claims.
