  • Patent number: 5171117
    Abstract: A recessed drive socket in a fastener or the like, is driven by a mating, drive tool received within the socket. The socket cavity has a multilobular cross-section defined by an alternating annular series of adjacent socket flutes and socket lobes extending parallel along a general central axis from an entrance opening into the cavity circumscribed by a peripheral support collar. Each socket lobe is truncated by a guide surface inclined from the opening at a radially outer edge of an adjacent socket flute into the cavity to form a tool clearance recess portion of the guide surface which defines the radial outer edge of the adjacent flute.
