BOLT

Abstract In a bolt of the present invention, a guide portion (116) having a small diameter is formed at the distal end of a shaft portion (15) and ridge (31) having an inverted direction screw configuration relative to the ridge (30) formed on a constant diameter portion (115) is formed. When the bolt (1) is inserted obliquely into a nut (100) and the ridge (31) gets into engagement with a female screw portion (105) of the nut (100), an effect of floating the bolt (1) is generated, and the bolt 1 cannot be driven into the nut 100 unless it is set in an appropriate tightening posture. Consequently, biting and seizing of the bolt 1 to the nut 100 can be prevented securely. If the ridge (31) is formed into a double threaded screw having an inverted direction screw configuration, the effect can be further intensified.
Full Text TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a bolt, and more particularly
to a bolt formed to prevent itself from biting and seizing to a
female screw member.
BACKGROUND ART
Conventionally, there has been proposed a so-called biting
preventing bolt which when it is inserted obliquely into a female
screw member of a nut or the like, allows the bolt to be threaded
smoothly into the female screw member without any biting by guiding
its own posture with a guide portion formed on its shaft portion
appropriately. Although ordinary bolts have a shaft portion having
a substantially constant diameter, such a biting preventive bolt
is provided with a small diameter or a tapered guide portion at
the front end of the shaft portion so that when the guide portion
comes into contact with the peripheral face of a screw hole in the
female screw member, the posture of the bolt is guided properly.
For example, the Patent Document 1 has disclosed a bolt in which
a constant diameter column portion having a small diameter is formed
at the front end of the shaft portion and complete ridge is formed
on this constant diameter column portion, and further the outside
diameter of the constant diameter column portion is almost equal
to a minimum value of the inside diameter of the female screw. In
cases of the bolt 'having- sucISSi;iaffi«lig:feJaaae>-:when the' feolt is inserted
obliquely into the female screw, e&erfroraplete ridge of the constant
diameter column portion can cateh up the ridge of the* -female screw,
and if it is continued to be tightened as it is, the screw portions
can properly- emfatfeHwith esetn-r-O^tee^aioaf a- lead.'

EFFECTS OP THE INVENTION
In the bolt according to the preseafe invention, the guide
portion having a smaller diameter than the constant diameter
portion of the proximal end aide is foMBei5-OR.. tfctoe --froast end side
of the shaft, and the ridge formed on this guide portion is formed

driven into the female screw member when it is tilted, the bolt
is never driven into the female screw member in an inappropriate
condition. Therefore, biting and seizing of the bolt can be
prevented securely.

Further, the effects can .bf.- ijitfijiaif led by fiormiag the ridge on

We Claims:-
[1] A bolt having a head portion and a shaft portion on which a ridge is f formed, the bolt being adapted to be tighatened into a female screw member such as a nut, wherein
the shaft portion is comprised of a constant diameter portion having a constant diameter formed on the proximal end side and a guide portion formed on a front end side thereof and having a smaller diameter than the constant diameter portion,

the ridge

formed on the guide portion being formed in an inverted

direction screw configuration with respect to the ridge formed on
the constant diameter portion.
[2] The bolt according to Claim 1 wherein the ridge formed on the
guide portion is formed into a double threaded screw having an
inverted direction screw configuration.
[3] The bolt according to Claim 1 or 2 wherein non threaded portion
having no ridge is formed into a predetermined range between the constant diameter portion and the, guide portion of the shaft
portion.
