  • Publication number: 20170266794
    Abstract: A drive element is described for transmitting a torque to a threaded insert sleeve. A holder has a drive profile in which along a longitudinal axis of the drive element a drive tool for transmitting a torque from the drive tool to the drive element can be received. The longitudinal axis passes through the center of the drive profile and corresponds to a rotation axis of the drive element about which the drive element rotates when transmitting the torque from the drive tool to the drive element. An axial connecting section has an outer surface for forming a connection to the threaded insert sleeve that is one or more of a materially bonded, form-fitting and force-fitting connection. Via the outer surface, when a connection to a threaded insert sleeve is formed, a torque can be transmitted from the drive element to the threaded insert sleeve.

  • Patent number: 8449235
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a threaded insert having an internal and external thread which have different thread pitches or the same thread pitch, wherein the threaded insert is wound from a profile strip which, on the one side thereof, is pre-shaped with the profile of the external thread, and on the other side thereof, is pre-shaped with the profile of the internal thread, and to a threaded insert which is generated by means of said method.

  • Patent number: 5674035
    Abstract: A thread forming screw for concrete, masonry, rock, or similar material. The size ratios of various portions of the screw are defined to reduce thread engagement which, in turn, reduces screw-in torque. A burr in the screw's thread includes bow-shaped cutting teeth to facilitate screw-in.
