Abstract

A screw with a pointed end includes a head, a shank, and a conical end portion formed in a lower portion of the shank. The conical end portion has a drill thread and an incomplete securing thread. The drill thread extends upward from a pointed end of the conical end portion to an upper end of the conical end portion. The incomplete securing thread has its lower end connected to the drill thread so that cut waste may not be hampered by the incomplete securing thread when the screw begins to move into a wooden object and cut and drill a hole therein. Then cut waste may smoothly move out of the wooden object so as not to let it split or tear, with operating twisting force diminished and securing force enhanced.

Claims

1. A screw with a pointed end comprising a head, a shank, and a conical end portion:

Said head having a slot for a hand tool to fit therein and rotate said screw;

Said shank having complete securing threads on a substantial portion of said shank;

Said conical end portion provided with a incomplete secure thread and a plurality of drill threads, said incomplete secure thread extending downward from under said complete securing threads and having a function of securing with an object, said incomplete securing thread having its lower end not connected to said drill threads and forming a waste wood bits passageway between itself and said drill threads, said drill threads having a comparatively long length and having a function of drilling, said drill threads extending upward from or from near the pointed end to a point a little above an upper end of said conical end portion, said drill threads in advance cutting and drilling in an object for forming a drilling hole, said incomplete securing thread located just between said drill threads so that incomplete securing thread may not obstruct cut waste wooden bits and said drill threads may cut smoothly, said incomplete securing thread having a function of prime securing with the object and maintaining said screw in a straight position, said screw not causing an wooden object to split or tear.

2. The screw with a pointed end as claimed in claim 1, wherein said incomplete securing thread is positioned between two drill threads and connected to said drill threads to form a waste passageway for exhausting cut waste smoothly.
