Abstract

The present disclosure provides a threaded fastener having a hybrid self- drilling tip or drill tip. The fastener includes a head, a shank connected to and extending from the head, a helical thread formation extending radially outwardly from part of the shank, and a self-drilling tip including a first tapered tip portion and a second tapered tip portion. The first tapered tip portion is connected at a first end to the shank and at a second end to the second tapered tip portion, and the second tapered tip portion terminates in a pointed end. The outer diameters of both tapered portions taper radially inwardly moving in the direction of the pointed end, which renders the fastener suitable for attachment to wood as well as for fastening two metal objects to one another. The two tapered portions form different angles to the longitudinal axis of the fastener. The first tapered portion forms an angle of about 5 degrees with the longitudinal axis.

Claims (6)

CLAIMS The invention is claimed as follows:
1. A threaded fastener comprising: 5 a head; a shank integrally connected to and extending from the head; a helical thread formation integrally connected to and extending radially outwardly from part of the shank; and a self-drilling tip integrally connected to and extending from the shank, the self- 10 drilling tip including: (a) a first tapered tip portion; and (b) a second tapered tip portion, the first tapered tip portion connected at a first end to the shank and at a second end to the second tapered tip portion, the second tapered tip portion terminating in a pointed wherein the first tapered tip portion has an outer diameter that decreases moving 15 along a longitudinal axis of the self-drilling tip in a direction toward the pointed end from the first end of the first tapered portion to the second end of the first tapered portion, whereby a surface of the first tapered tip portion at the outer diameter of the first tapered tip portion forms an angle A with the longitudinal axis; the second tapered tip portion has an outer diameter that decreases moving 20 along the longitudinal axis in a direction toward the pointed end from the first tapered portion to the pointed end, whereby a surface of the second tapered tip portion at the outer diameter of the second tapered tip portion forms an angle B with the longitudinal axis; and A is different to B and is about 5 degrees.
2. The threaded fastener of Claim 1, wherein the self-drilling tip includes a plurality of flutes.
3. The threaded fastener of Claim 1 or Claim 2, wherein B is about 30 to 32.5 30 degrees.
4. The threaded fastener of Claim 1 or Claim 2, wherein B is about 35 to 37.5 degrees.
5. The threaded fastener of Claim 1 or Claim 2, wherein B is about 60 to 65 5 degrees.
6. The threaded fastener of Claim 1, the threaded fastener being substantially as hereinbefore described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
