  • Patent number: 11703074
    Abstract: The invention relates to a screw (1), having a shank (3) which is provided with a thread (2) with at least one asymmetrical thread turn (4) with a plurality of windings, wherein the thread has an external diameter (Da), a core diameter (Dk) and a thread pitch (P), wherein the thread turn (4) has thread flanks (7, 8) with a flank angle (phi), wherein the thread flanks (7, 8) have a load-bearing flank (7) and a counter-flank (8) which abut one another directly or indirectly in a thread bottom (9) and at a thread tip (10), and wherein a flank angle (phiL) of the load-bearing flank (7) is smaller than a flank angle (phiG) of the counter-flank (8). The flank angle (phiL) of the load-bearing flank is at least 25°, preferably from 25° to 35°, in particular 30°, and the flank angle (phiG) of the counter-flank is at least 40°, preferably from 40° to 60°, in particular 50°, wherein the flank angle (phi) is from at least 65° to at most 95°.

  • Patent number: 10274002
    Abstract: A thread-forming screw comprising, at least in part, a shaft (1.1) provided with a screw thread (2) and further comprising a screw tip (1.2) at one end of the shaft (1.1), wherein the shaft (1.1) comprises a thread-forming screw-threaded portion (4) that extends away from the screw tip (1.2) and an adjoining load-bearing screw-threaded portion (3), wherein the load-bearing screw-threaded portion (3) has a round cross-section, characterized in that the load-bearing screw-threaded portion (3) displays, in the direction away from the screw tip (1.2), an increase d in a flank diameter DF and/or an outside diameter DA of the screw thread at a gradient of from 1:50 to 1:500 based on a length LG of the load-bearing screw-threaded portion (3), preferably at a gradient DA or DF to LG of from 1:100 to 1:400, wherein the increase d in the flank diameter DF and/or the outside diameter DA remains constant over the length LG of the load-bearing portion.

  • Patent number: 10232558
    Abstract: The invention relates to a component (1) having a fastening region (2) for a threaded connection, wherein the component has a surface (3) having fiber material (5) embedded and integrated into a matrix (4) in at least one layer, wherein the fiber material has a fiber course substantially parallel to the surface, wherein the surface has a fastening opening (6) having a center axis (7) arranged at an angle to the surface and wherein the fastening opening is provided for an internal thread (8). In the region of the fastening opening, the fiber material lying parallel to the surface is deflected, starting from the surface, in such a way that the fiber course of the fiber material after the deflection is at an angle to the surface that approaches the direction of the center axis. Furthermore, a tube (9) is formed by means of the deflected fiber material. The invention further relates to a molded part and to a fastening part for such components.
