Abstract
A screw includes a shank and a threaded section spirally formed on the shank. The threaded section includes threaded units having a length greater than a pitch, each threaded unit including a closed curve having two opposing first curved sections and two opposing second curved sections. Each threaded unit is further provided with two opposing high points each formed between the first curved section and the adjacent second curved section and two opposing low points each formed between the first curved section and the adjacent second curved section. Width of the threaded unit at the high points is the greatest and width of the threaded unit at the low points is the least. The width of the threaded unit is decreased from the high point to the low point.
