Abstract

A support device or fastener comprised of a shank having a threaded end adapted to be driven into a member for securing the shank within the member and having a support end. Said fastener has substantially the same functionality as a common screw eye or cup hook but its support end is configured to fit snugly into and align precisely with a cavity which is in the shape of a rectangular prism so that the support end itself constitutes a precision torquing protrusion capable of being driven by a lag driver having a collared tool end. <IMAGE>

Description

DRIVEABLE SCREW EYE OR HOOK This invention relates to power driven screw eye or screw hook fasteners.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,207,404 issued on May 4, 1993 to Reinhard discloses various screws and mounting devices having a conventional drive formation formed on the support end of the device. While such fastening devices are indeed capable of being driven in by a power or hand tool, because of their torquing protrusions or cavities they are relatively expensive to manufacture. Furthermore, because of the small size of conventional drive formations relative to the overall size of such fasteners, significant wobble may occur while attempting to drive the fastener at an angle or into hard materials, necessitating the drilling of pilot holes to insure accurate installation of the fastener.
The present invention is an improvement in the construction of screw eye or hook type fasteners in that the support end of the fastener itself forms a drive formation capable of being held in precise alignment with and driven by a lag driver such as shown in U.S. Pat. No.
4,727,731 issued Feb. 16, 1988 to Onofrio.
Because of their unique shape, the fasteners of the present invention are capable of being driven rapidly and accurately by said lag driver, even into hard material or at an angle and in areas of close clearances, without the requirement of first drilling pilot holes.
The present invention contemplates screw-type fasteners having the same functionality when installed as common screw eyes and cup hooks but including sides which are straight and parallel over a portion of their length rather than curved so that the fastener can be held in precise alignment with and driven by a lag driver having a collared tool end.
The object of the invention is to provide rapid and accurate power-assisted or manual insertion of said fasteners into wood, plastic, metal, or other material at any angle to the surface of the material greater than forty degrees without the necessity of first drilling a pilot hole or impact-starting the fastener.
A specific embodiment of the invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawing in which: Figure 1 is a perspective view of a screw eye type fastener embodying this invention; and Figure 2 is a perspective view of a screw hook type fastener embodying this invention.
With reference to Figure 1 there is shown a screw eye type fastener. Said fastener has a threaded end 3 which is configured to be threaded into, upon rotation, a surface or member for securing shank portion 4 therewithin. Shank portion 4 is configured to a support member having sides 1 and 2 which are straight and parallel to each other over a portion of their length.
The centerline of threaded end 3 is in the same plane as and equidistant from the extended centerlines of the straight portions of sides 1 and 2 of the support member.
Figure 2 shows a screw hook type fastener which is identical to the screw eye type fastener of Figure 1 except that side 5 is truncated to give the support member of said fastener the shape and functionality of an open hook.

Claims (1)

1 A support device, comprising a shank having first and second ends, said first end being threadably adaptable to be driven into a member for securing said shank therewithin; and support means for supporting an associated device, said support means extending away from and integral with said second end of said shank and constituting over a portion of its length a torquing section approximately in the shape of a rectangular prism aligned with the longitudinal axis of said shank.
