A screw, especially for wood, has a knurled region (10) with two sets (11A, 11B) of ribs (11) that are offset from each other by an azimuth angle. For example, the two sets of ribs extend towards each other from opposite ends (10A, 10B) of the knurled region (10) and are intertwined only in an overlap region (12) that is at the middle of the knurled region.

In order to prevent wood fringes at the edge of a hole from a countersunk screw (1), the screw-head (2) is provided with a tapering underside and inclined milling-ribs (8) on the tapering underside. Each milling-rib (8) has a planar front-side (15) delimited by smoothly curved convex milling-edge (17) for milling the material during countersinking of the screw-head (2).

A screw includes a head and a shank extending from the head and defining a longitudinal axis. A thread is provided on the shank. The head includes a top portion and a cone portion located between the top portion and the shank. A plurality of recesses is provided in a peripheral surface of the cone portion and spaced in a circumferential direction of the cone portion. Each recess includes first and second side edges opposite to each other in the circumferential direction and an upper edge connecting the first and second side edges. The first side edge features a maximum recess depth greater than a maximum recess depth of the second side edge. The top edge extending in the circumferential direction of the cone portion is partially arranged between the top portion and the first side edge of an adjacent recess in the longitudinal axis direction.

A screw includes a head having a top face and a conical bottom surface, a shank, and thread convolutions. A chip guiding channel is recessedly formed on the conical bottom surface. On the conical bottom surface are spirally disposed a cutting portion which has a plurality cutting units sequentially arranged in a spiral manner, thereby allowing the chip guiding channel to be surrounded by the cutting units along a spiral track. The spiral arrangement of the cutting units assists the head in cutting fibers of a workpiece which are wound around the head into small chips in a continuous and spiral severing manner to reduce drilling torque and resistance, and the spirally-defined chip guiding channel also facilitates a smooth removal of the chips, thereby allowing the head to fit level with a top surface of the workpiece and increasing a fastening effect.

A threaded fastener includes a head, a shank extending from the head, and a. cone portion. The head includes a top portion and an annular side wall extending downwardly from a periphery of the top portion. The cone portion is formed between the shank and the top portion and has a peripheral surface tapering from the top portion to the shank. An annular groove is created between the annular side wall and the cone portion for development of an accommodating space with an opening downward in a bottom of the head. The annular groove is surrounded by an inner surface of the annular side wall, the peripheral surface of the cone portion, and a bottom wall of the top portion connected between the annular side wall and the cone portion.

A screw includes a head and a shank extending from the head and defining a longitudinal axis. A thread is provided on the shank. The head includes a top portion and a cone portion located between the top portion and the shank. A plurality of recesses is provided in a peripheral surface of the cone portion and spaced in a circumferential direction of the cone portion. Each recess includes first and second side edges opposite to each other in the circumferential direction and an upper edge connecting the first and second side edges. The first side edge features a maximum recess depth greater than a maximum recess depth of the second side edge. The top edge extending in the circumferential direction of the cone portion is partially arranged between the top portion and the first side edge of an adjacent recess in the longitudinal axis direction.

A method of constructing a building comprising the steps of attaching a first panel to a second panel. The first panel is one of a single plenum panel and a multi-plenum panel and the second panel is one of a single plenum panel and a multi-plenum panel.

A screw includes: a head end, a shank and a tapered end, the head end including a tool engaging part, the head end located at one end of the shank and the tapered end located at an opposite end of the shank, wherein a thread is formed along the shank, the thread begins on the tapered end, extends onto the shank and terminates at a set location short of the head end, the thread being a right-hand thread and having a peripheral edge, at least a first helical portion of the peripheral edge includes a plurality of notches and a second helical portion of the thread lacks any notches, wherein the first helical portion is closer to the tapered end than the second helical portion, wherein the head includes an underside formed by a frustoconical part with a plurality of nibs. The head may also include an outer ledge.

The invention relates to a screw having a screw head and a screw shank, wherein the screw shank is provided at least partially with a thread, characterized in that a periphery of the screw head is provided with a plurality of riblike protrusions protruding in a radial direction.

A low energy wood screw that may be inserted quickly and using less energy than conventional screws. In various embodiments, the screw may include a countersunk head having a recess for accommodating a driving tool, a tapered neck, a plurality of crown ribs extending over the head and neck, a lubricating coating, main threads with a large thread lead, and lower threads having an asymmetrical profile and extending onto a gimlet point.
