ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to an improvement of a thread forming screw including driven head, cylindrically formed shanks rolled type thread which has a following flank angle smaller than a progresssive flank angle and is interrupted by plural slot recesses locating in one revolution of the thread and being pretendedly formed as helical slot recesses. One of the recesses is formed by a duly inclined leading edge of an interrupted thread, a nearly perpendicular rearward edge of the one located at its leading side and a flat-like bottom located betweenthere. This configuration of the shank enable it to be easily driven into a workpiece because of the decreasing the engagement between the interrupted screw thread and the female thread formed thereby. And it can prevent the fastener from rotating in such directions that it can loose because the following flanks of the interrupted threads depress the female thread swaged thereby and the materials are deformed, flown and dropped into the recesses nearby in an axial tension and the drops of the material prevent the threads from sliding back along the female thread.
