ABSTRACT:
A double break-off screw fastener is described, which conceals its mode of fastening by means of a "dummy" free-floating middle shaft. The inventive screw contains three sections, a threaded section which does the actual fastening; a middle shaft section which helps to internally fasten the threaded section before breaking-off; and an outer head section which breaks from the middle shaft, thus leaving the middle shaft in a free-floating state. To the outer observer, the middle shaft is free turning giving the impression of a fastening screw. In reality, however, it is nothing more than a dummy member, which carefully conceals the well hidden internal screw thread.
