A primary formed part for transmitting operating torques is disclosed. The primary formed part has a helical structure featuring at least one helical profile with a helix that spirals around a screw axis.

First claim

1 - 15 . (canceled)

16 . A primary formed part for transmitting operating torques comprising a helical structure featuring at least one helical profile with a helix that spirals around a screw axis.

17 . The primary formed part according to claim 16 , wherein the helical structure comprises at least two equi-directional helical profiles that are offset relative to one another in the axial direction and have the same spiraling direction.

18 . The primary formed part according to claim 16 , wherein the helical structure comprise at least two oppositely directed helical profiles with different spiraling directions.

19 . The primary formed part according to claim 16 , wherein the wall thickness of at least one helical profile of the helical structure is essentially constant with respect to the screw axis.

20 . The primary formed part according to claim 16 , wherein the wall thickness of at least one helical profile of the helical structure converges toward the screw axis.

21 . The primary formed part according to claim 16 , wherein the wall thickness of at least one helical profile of the helical structure diverges from the screw axis.

22 . The primary formed part according to claim 16 , wherein at least one material cross section of at least one helical profile includes the screw axis.

23 . The primary formed part according to claim 16 , wherein the helix of at least one helical profile includes an angle amounting to at least 1° and no more than 89° with the screw axis.

24 . The primary formed part according to claim 23 , wherein the helix of at least one helical profile includes an angle amounting to at least 30° and no more than 60° with the screw axis.

25 . The primary formed part according to claim 16 , further comprising at least one outer wall that particularly is plane, wherein the helical structure is connected to said outer wall from the inside of the primary formed part.

26 . The primary formed part according to claim 16 , further comprising a rib arrangement having at least one rib that particularly is plane and includes an angle in the range of 10° and no more than 80° with the screw axis.

27 . The primary formed part according to claim 26 , further comprising a rib arrangement having at least one rib that particularly is plane and includes an angle in the range of 25° and no more than 65° with the screw axis.

28 . The primary formed part according to claim 16 which is free of undercuts in a removal direction extending perpendicular to the screw axis.

29 . The primary formed part according to claim 16 , further comprising fiber-reinforced and/or expanded plastic, particularly a thermoplastic polymer and/or a thermosetting polymer, and/or metal, especially a light metal alloy, that particularly is expanded.

30 . The primary formed part according to claim 16 , further comprising fiber-reinforced formed part.

31 . The primary formed part according to claim 16 , further comprising an expanded plastic formed part.

32 . The primary formed part according to claim 16 , further comprising an expanded light metal alloy part.

33 . The primary formed part according to claim 16 further comprising at least one bearing surface in the form of a rotatable support on its face for manually applying operating torques around the screw axis.

34 . The primary formed part according to claim 16 further comprising at least one bearing surface in the form of at least one lever arm for manually applying operating torques around the screw axis.

35 . The primary formed part according to claim 16 further comprising at least one bearing surface in the form of at least one connecting flange on its face for manually applying operating torques around the screw axis.
