Abstract: A fastener has a head and a shank with two ends. One of the ends includes the head while the other includes a pilot point. Also, the shank includes a threaded portion adjacent to the pilot point. A pair of recesses are formed 180.degree. from one another on the point and threaded portion. The recesses extend from the end of the point through at least a first full thread.
Abstract: A threaded fastener has an eccentric tip with a smooth portion, a threaded portion and a cleaning recess formed into the threaded portion of the tip. The recess and tip are formed in the heading operation prior to rolling the threads onto the shank which provides better thread quality.
Abstract: A fastener has a head and a shank with two ends. One of the ends includes the head while the other includes a dog tip point. Also, the shank includes a threaded portion adjacent to the dog tip point. A pair of recesses are formed 180.degree. from one another flush with the point and on the threaded portion. The recesses are continuous with the point and extend through at least a first full thread.

Abstract: A threaded fastener has an eccentric tip with a smooth portion and a threaded portion. The smooth portion when viewed in side elevation defines an edge on a curve with an arcuate slope and the tip threaded portion is coincident with the shank to provide a threaded fastener which substantially eliminates axial and angular misalignment.
