Abstract

A screw with double notches includes a head portion, a shank portion extended outward from the head portion, a threaded section spirally surrounded on the shank portion. Wherein, a raw section on the shank portion is provided with a cambered surface formed integral with the shank portion in cross-section, and a notched section relative to the raw section has two cutting notches separately depressed into the shank portion and disposed near an end of the shank portion, thereby forming a protrudent part between the two cutting notches. By means of the cooperation of the cutting notches and the raw section, the cutting capability and the removal of debris are increased so that a fastened object is prevented from split. Thereby, the drilling speed is promoted, and the effort to rotate the screw is lessened. While the supporting strength of the screw is improved, the screw does not break easily while screwing.

Claims

1. A screw with double notches comprising:

a head portion,

a shank portion extended outward from said head portion;

said shank portion including a drilling portion formed at one end thereof, opposite to said head portion, a drilling tip disposed at a distal end of said drilling portion, and an axis defined along a center of said shank portion;

wherein, at least a part of said shank portion is cross-sectionally divided into a raw section and a notched section disposed relatively to said raw section;

said raw section being provided with cambered surface formed integrally said shank portion in cross-section, said notched section having two cutting notches each arcuately depressed into said shank portion along one said cambered surface at opposing sides of a protrudent part extending axially therebetween;

said cutting notches being disposed near an end of said shank portion; and

a threaded section spirally surrounded on said shank portion.

2. The screw as claimed in claim 1, wherein, at least one debris-extruding slot is extendedly formed on said shank portion and defined between said notched section and said head portion.

3. The screw as claimed in claim 2, wherein, said cutting notches have different lengths.

4. The screw as claimed in claim 2, wherein, the cutting notches are merely disposed on said drilling portion.

5. The screw as claimed in claim 2, wherein, an area of said notched section is larger than an area of said raw section.

6. The screw as claimed in claim 2, wherein, said cutting notches are disposed parallel to said central axis of said shank portion.

7. The screw as claimed in claim 2, wherein, said cutting notches are disposed inclined to said central axis of said shank portion.

8. The screw as claimed in claim 1, wherein, said cutting notches have different lengths.

9. The screw as claimed in claim 1, wherein, the cutting notches are merely disposed on said drilling portion.

10. The screw as claimed in claim 1, wherein, an area of said notched section is larger than an area of said raw section.

11. The screw as claimed in claim 1, wherein, said cutting notches are disposed parallel to said central axis of said shank portion.

12. The screw as claimed in claim 1, wherein, said cutting notches are disposed inclined to said central axis of said shank portion.

13. The screw as claimed in claim 1, wherein, said cutting notches are extended from said drilling portion throughout said shank portion but short of said head portion.
