Abstract
A nail includes a head, a shank connected to the head and a plurality of threads defined in an outer periphery of the shank, a tip portion connected to an end of the shank, and a plurality of wings extending from the tip portion. The tip of the tip portion first penetrates through the object and the wings cut through the board and form a plurality of parts in an inner periphery of a hole into which the nail penetrates. The nail penetrates and moves through the object linearly. The threads are engaged with the parts so that the nail is firmly engaged with the board.
Description
- The present invention relates to a nail that includes wings on tip so as to easily cut into object and the split portions made by the separation of the tip and wings are engaged with threads of the nail.
- A
conventional nail 1 is shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 and generally includes ahead 10, ashank 11 connected to thehead 10, a plurality ofthreads 12 on theshank 11, and atip 13 which is located at an end of theshank 11 and opposite to thehead 10. Thethreads 12 are defined spirally in an outer surface of theshank 11. Thethreads 12 can also be replaced by axial ridges as disclosed inFIG. 3 . When thenail 1 penetrates into the board 2, thetip 13 which is a conical tip, makes ahole 20 through the board 2 and the periphery of thehole 20 is torn till theshank 11 is engaged with thehole 20 and the underside of thehead 10 is in contact with the surface of the board 2 as shown inFIG. 2 . - It is noted that the periphery of the
hole 20 is torn and curves outward so that the inner diameter of the torn parts of the inner periphery of thehole 20 is larger than the outer diameter of theshank 11, so that there is gaps between the inner periphery of thehole 20 and the outer diameter of theshank 11. In other words, thenail 1 is not well secured in the board 2 and can be easily pulled out from the board 2. - The present invention intends to provide a nail that is firmly engaged with the inner periphery of the hole through which the nail penetrates.
- The present invention relates to a nail that comprises a head, a shank connected to the head, a plurality of threads defined in an outer periphery of the shank, a tip portion connected to an end of the shank, and a plurality of wings extending from the tip portion. The threads are located between the head and the wings. The nail penetrates through an object and moves linearly. The wings cut through the board and form a plurality of parts in an inner periphery of a hole through which the nail penetrates in the board. The threads are engaged with the parts.
- The primary object of the present invention is to provide a nail that is firmly engaged with the parts cut from the inn periphery the hole through which the nail penetrates.
- The present invention will become more obvious from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings which show, for purposes of illustration only, a preferred embodiment in accordance with the present invention.

-
FIG. 10 shows the board is first cut by the tip of the tip portion of the nail; -
FIG. 11 shows a plurality of parts in the inner periphery of the hole in the board are defined by the wings; -
FIG. 12 shows that two sides of each part inFIG. 11 are further cut by the parts; -
FIG. 13 shows another embodiment of the nail of the present invention; - FIGS. 14 to 16 show continuous actions of the nail in
FIG. 13 penetrates through the board; - FIGS. 17 to 19 show another angle of continuous actions of the nail in
FIG. 13 penetrates through the board; -
FIG. 20 shows the board is first cut by the tip portion of the nail inFIG. 13 ; -
FIG. 21 shows the inner periphery of the hole in the board is cut by the wings of the nail inFIG. 13 ; -
FIG. 22 is a perspective view to show yet another embodiment of the nail of the present invention; -
FIG. 23 is a side view to show the nail of the present invention inFIG. 22 ; -
FIG. 24 is an end view of the nail inFIG. 22 ; -
FIG. 25 shows a further embodiment of the nail of the present invention, and - FIGS. 26 to 28 respectively show three different embodiments of the nail of the present invention.
- Referring to FIGS. 5 to 9, the
nail 3 of the present invention comprises ahead 30, acylindrical shank 31 connected to thehead 30, a plurality ofthreads 34 defined in an outer periphery of theshank 31, a cone-shaped tip portion 33 connected to an end of theshank 31, and a plurality ofwings 32 extending from thetip portion 33. Thethreads 34 are located between thehead 30 and thewings 32, and each of thewings 32 has acutting edge 321. Thetip portion 33 is an elongate flat portion and thewings 32 are located at a distance from atip 330 of thetip portion 33. Thewings 32 extend outward from atip 330 of thetip portion 33 and an outer diameter of two diagonally locatedwings 32 is smaller than an outer diameter of theshank 31. - As shown in FIGS. 6 to 12, when penetrating the nail through a
board 4, thetip 330 of thetip portion 33 first cuts into theboard 4 to form aslot 40 as shown inFIGS. 6 and 10 , and then thewings 32 cut into theboard 4 as shown inFIGS. 7 and 11 . Thewings 32 cut the inner periphery of thehole 41 in the board into fourslits 410 and fourparts 411 which extend downward. Further referring toFIGS. 8 and 12 , thenail 3 is then moved linearly into theboard 4 to let the cone-shaped tip portion 33 penetrate through theboard 4, theslits 410 are further extended by the larger diameter of thetip portion 33 and theshank 31 so as to form twoshort recesses 411′ in two sides of eachpart 411. Thenail 3 is continuously penetrated through theboard 4 linearly and theparts 411 and the insides of therecesses 411′ are engaged with thethreads 34 to firmly grasp thenail 3. It is noted that theparts 411 do not curve outward so that theshank 31 of thenail 3 is snugly engaged with thehole 41. Thisnail 3 ensures that thenail 3 is not easily to be pulled from theboard 4. -
FIG. 13 shows another embodiment of thenail 3 wherein the only difference from that ofFIG. 5 is that the outer diameter of two diagonally locatedwings 32 is larger than an outer diameter of theshank 31. Referring to FIGS. 14 to 21, when penetrating thenail 3 into theboard 4, thewider wings 32 cut the inner periphery of thehole 41 to have fourlong slits 410 between fourparts 411, and the fourparts 411 are engaged with thethreads 34 of thenail 3. - FIGS. 22 to 24 show yet another embodiment of the
nail 3 wherein thetip portion 33 is a cylindrical section with a cone-shaped tip and thewings 32 extend outward from the cylindrical section and an outer diameter of two diagonally locatedwings 32 is larger than an outer diameter of theshank 31.FIG. 25 shows a further embodiment of thenail 3 wherein thewings 32 extend from the tip of thetip portion 33 and an outer diameter of two diagonally locatedwings 32 is larger than an outer diameter of theshank 31. - All the
wings 32 of the previous embodiments each include acutting edge 321 that a downward slope which slopes toward thehead 30 of thenail 3. -
FIGS. 26 and 27 show two embodiments wherein thewings 32cutting edges 321 ofwings 32 each have an upward slope which slopes away from thehead 30. -
FIG. 28 shows that thewings 32 extend continuously from thetip portion 32 and theshank 31 and are connected to an underside of thehead 30. - While we have shown and described the embodiment in accordance with the present invention, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that further embodiments may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
