Abstract

A screw comprises a head and a rod extended downward from the head. The rod has a tip at a distal end and a round thread spirally extended upward from the tip. The round thread is an asymmetric thread and has serrated cutting edges extended upward from the tip and formed along a circumference in a desired distance. The rod also has a cutting thread with a plurality of spiral cutting edges spirally extended upward from the tip in the same spiral direction as that of the round thread. When the screw is screwed into a workpiece, the asymmetric thread can effectively reduce resistance of screwing. Further, the serrated cutting edges and the cutting thread of the invention can increase the cutting effect. Thereby, the screw of the invention enables the user to fasten workpieces faster with less effort.

Claims

1. A screw, comprising:

a head including a wrench notch at the top to be wrenched by a screwdriver; and

a cylinder rod which is extended from the head, including a tip at a distal end and a round thread spirally extended upward from the tip, the round thread being an asymmetry thread and including serrated cutting edges extended from the tip and formed along a circumference in a desired distance, the rod further including a cutting thread with a plurality of spiral cutting edges extended upward from the tip in the same spiral direction as that of the round thread, wherein the spiral cutting edges respectively have a spiral angle steeper than that of the round thread and intersect the round thread by at least two thread pitches, and wherein the cutting thread has an outer diameter smaller than that of the round thread.

2. The screw according to claim 1, wherein the asymmetric thread includes a first angle of 30 degrees and a second angle of 10 degrees.
