Abstract

A screw nail includes a nail shaft portion extending along one direction, and a head portion whose diameter is enlarged along other direction orthogonal to an extension direction. A sharp tip end portion is formed on one end side of the nail shaft portion, and the head portion is formed at an end portion on the other end side. The nail shaft portion is formed with a screw thread, and the head portion is formed with an engaging portion capable of engaging with a rotary tool. A convex portion protruding along an axis direction of the nail shaft portion is formed on an end surface of the head portion. A concave portion that is concave with respect to the convex portion is formed between the convex portion and the engaging portion. A virtual plane specified by vertexes of the convex portion is a plane orthogonal to the axis direction.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A screw nail, comprising:
a nail shaft portion extending along one direction; and
a head portion, the diameter of the head portion being enlarged along other direction orthogonal to an extension direction of the nail shaft portion,
wherein a sharp tip end portion is formed on one end side of the nail shaft portion along the extension direction, and the head portion is formed at an end portion on the other end side,
wherein the nail shaft portion is formed with a screw thread between the tip end portion and the head portion, and the head portion is formed with an engaging portion capable of engaging with a rotary tool,
wherein a convex portion protruding along an axis direction of the nail shaft portion is formed on an end surface of the head portion on an opposite side to a side from which the nail shaft portion protrudes,
wherein a concave portion that is concave with respect to the convex portion along the axis direction of the nail shaft portion is formed between the convex portion and the engaging portion and wherein the concave portion is formed outside the convex portion with respect to a radial direction of the head portion, and
wherein a virtual plane specified by vertexes of the convex portion is a plane orthogonal to the axis direction of the nail shaft portion.

2. The screw nail according to claim 1 , wherein the convex portion is continuous in a circumferential direction of the head portion up to a region beyond a half region divided by an arbitrary center line on the end surface of the head portion, and a virtual plane tangent to a vertex of the convex portion that is continuous beyond the half region of the end surface is orthogonal to the axis direction of the nail shaft portion.

3. A screw nail, comprising;
a nail shaft portion extending along one direction; and
a head portion, the diameter of the head portion being enlarged along other direction orthogonal to an extension direction of the nail shaft portion,
wherein a sharp tip end portion is formed on one end side of the nail shaft portion along the extension direction, and the head portion is formed at an end portion on the other end side,
wherein the nail shaft portion is formed with a screw thread between the tip end portion and the head portion, and the head portion is formed with an engaging portion capable of engaging with a rotary tool,
wherein at least three convex portions protruding along an axis direction of the nail shaft portion are formed on an end surface of the head portion on an opposite side to a side from which the nail shaft portion protrudes, at least one convex portion is located on one of half regions divided by an arbitrary center line and the remaining convex portions are located on the other of the half regions on the end surface of the head portion,
wherein a concave portion that is concave with respect to the convex portion along the axis direction of the nail shaft portion is formed between the convex portion and the engaging portion, and
wherein a virtual plane tangent to vertexes of the at least three convex portions is orthogonal to the axis direction of the nail shaft portion.

4. The screw nail according to claim 3 , wherein the concave portion is formed inside the convex portion with respect to a radial direction of the head portion.

5. The screw nail according to claim 4 , wherein the engaging portion is configured by a hole whose opening having at least three vertexes is exposed on the end surface of the head portion, and
wherein the convex portion is provided at a position corresponding to a side between respective vertexes of the engaging portion.

6. The screw nail according to claim 5 , wherein the convex portion is located on a circumcircle passing through each vertex of the engaging portion.

7. The screw nail according to claim 4 , wherein the engaging portion is configured by a hole whose opening having at least three vertexes is exposed on the end surface of the head portion, and
wherein the convex portion is located outside a circumcircle passing through each vertex of the engaging portion.

8. A screw nail, comprising;
a nail shaft portion extending along one direction; and
a head portion, the diameter of the head portion being enlarged along other direction orthogonal to an extension direction of the nail shaft portion,
wherein a sharp tip end portion is formed on one end side of the nail shaft portion along the extension direction, and the head portion is formed at an end portion on the other end side,
wherein the nail shaft portion is formed with a screw thread between the tip end portion and the head portion, and the head portion is formed with an engaging portion capable of engaging with a rotary tool,
wherein a convex portion protruding along an axis direction of the nail shaft portion is formed on an end surface of the head portion on an opposite side to a side from which the nail shaft portion protrudes, and wherein the convex portions is located on both one and the other of half regions divided by an arbitrary center line, on the end surface of the head portion, the convex portion located on one or both one and the other of the half regions of the end surface extends along the end surface of the head portion,
wherein a concave portion that is concave with respect to the convex portion along the axis direction of the nail shaft portion is formed between the convex portion and the engaging portion,
wherein a virtual plane specified by vertexes of the convex portion is a plane orthogonal to the axis direction of the nail shaft portion,
and a virtual plane tangent to a vertex of the convex portion located on both one side and the other side of the half regions of the end surface is orthogonal to the axis direction of the nail shaft portion.
