ABSTRACT:
By modifying a shape of a head part of a screw, an inserting performance when a punching operation is carried out, a fastening performance when the screw is seated, and a finishing process upon completion of fastening against a member to be fastened are improved.
A seat surface of the head part is formed in an inverse truncated conical shape with its outer circumference being a curved concave surface and the upper surface of the head part is formed with a spherical concave surface. The head part is provided with a plurality of spot facing projections extending from the seat surface of the small diameter part at the lower portion of the head part adjacent to the screw shaft part along the curved concave surface of the seat surface in a longitudinal direction. The upper surface of the head part formed in the spherical concave surface is provided with chamfered portions in which an opening edge of the engaging groove of a cross-shaped hole is cut in a conical shape.
