Abstract
Different types of screws are conventionally designed to be used to fix together different materials. For example, different screws are designed for fixing timber, including hardwood and softwood, chipboard, laminated sheeting such as plywood, various metals including aluminium and mild steel, masonry, fibre cement sheets, particleboard, and polymers including acrylic and polycarbonate sheets. Embodiments of the present invention provide a multipurpose screw that may be used with multiple different materials. The screw comprises: a head having a tool engaging formation, a self-drilling drill tip, and a shank extending between the head and the drill tip. The shank includes a threaded portion and an unthreaded portion. The threaded portion includes a major thread extending from the drill tip. The ratio between the major diameter of the major thread and the pitch of the major thread is from 1.2 to 2.4. The threaded portion includes a secondary or low thread extending from the drill tip to define with the major thread a high/low thread which does not extend along the shank for as far as the major thread. The major thread is formed with a series of swarf indents defining at least one swarf channel.
Claims (3)
1. A multipurpose screw comprising: a head having a tool engaging formation, a self-drilling drill tip, and 5 a shank extending between the head and the drill tip, and including a threaded portion and an unthreaded portion, the threaded portion including a major thread extending from the drill tip, wherein the ratio between the major diameter of the major thread and the pitch of the major thread is from 1.2 to 2.4, wherein the threaded portion includes a secondary or low thread extending from 10 the drill tip to define with the major thread a high/low thread which does not extend along the shank for as far as the major thread, and wherein the major thread is formed with a series of swarf indents defining at least one swarf channel. 15
2. A multipurpose screw according to claim 1, wherein the drill tip is configured to drill through various types of metals.
3. A multipurpose screw according to claim 2, wherein the drill tip includes a tip end having a chamfer with an included angle of between 80 and
