ABSTRACT:
A screw having a tapered and offset tip with a partial thread prevents cross-threading of the screw when inserted into a nut. The offset tip is a section of a conical frustum. The axis of the conical frustum section is offset from the axis of the shank of the screw. The conical frustum section is defined by those portions of a conical frustum contained within the outer radius of the screw shank. The partial thread is located on the side of the tip facing the direction of offset of the tip.
