  • Self-drilling, self-tapping bone screw
    Publication number: 20050021036
    Abstract: A self-drilling, self-tapping bone screw includes a body having a head at one end and a tip defining a generally flat cutting edge at an opposite end. A recess is formed in the head for receiving an end of an insertion tool. A dual lead thread extends radially outwardly from the body in a spiral path from the cutting tip towards the head. The dual lead thread pitch is tapered towards the cutting tip, and transitions to a straight thread towards the head.

  • Non-removable structural threaded fastener with threads of lesser outer diameter than the shank and method of forming same (div. 3)
    Patent number: 6595734
    Abstract: Apparatus and method for forming a pin and nut fastener assembly for temporarily or permanently securing two panels having conventional drilled generally aligned holes into which the assembly is inserted. Weight of the pin and nut is reduced while retaining predetermined industry established strength requirements. The thread section of the pin is reduced along with the mating thread of the nut. The pin may be cold-worked in critical areas.
