Abstract
A screw mechanism. The screw mechanism is extended along a central axis and seated in an object, comprising a head, a tail and a threaded shank formed therebetween, wherein the outer diameter of the threaded shank is less than the head. The tail comprises a flexible clasp deformed from a first position to a second position along the direction substantially perpendicular to the central axis when the screw mechanism is fastened into the object along a first direction. When the screw mechanism is moved out from the object opposite to the first direction, the flexible clasp abuts the object at the first position thereby preventing separation from the object.
Claims6
A screw mechanism for joining an object, extended along a central axis, comprising:
- a head;
- a tail, comprising a flexible clasp deformed from a first position to a second position along, the direction substantially perpendicular to the central axis when the screw mechanism is seated in the object in a first direction;
- and
- a threaded shank between the head and the tail, wherein the outer diameter of the threaded shank is smaller than the head,
- wherein the flexible clasp abuts the object at the first position when the screw mechanism is removed from the object opposite to the first direction thereby preventing separation.
