Abstract: The invention relates to a countersunk head screw comprising a cylindrical shaft (2) and an essentially conical countersunk head (4) comprising at least two edges (15) on the lower side. Said countersunk head screw is characterized in that the edges each mark an end of a partial surface (10) located on the lower side, each of the partial surfaces lying on a non-concave separate surface of revolution.
Abstract: A thread cutting screw to be screwed into a predrilled hole in concrete, masonry, or the like is characterized in that the relationship between the load bearing thread surface AOn of the loaded thread flank, which surface is standardized to the load bearing thread length he and cut into the wall of the predrilled hole, and the nominal diameter db of the predrilled hole is as follows
AOn=k {square root over (db)}
wherein k is a constant of which the value is 1<k≦2.5.
