Abstract
A driver bit adapted to engage in a recess of a recessed screw which recess is defined as a coaxial superimposition of two equilaterally triangular and cylindrical recesses each having arcuate vertices and arranged with a phase shift of 60.degree. about a center axis of the recessed screw to provide six engagable grooves and six driven vanes. The driver bit includes six driving vanes and six valleys, with each driving vane being shaped in conformity with each groove in the recess of the recessed screw, and with each valley being interposed between adjacent driving vanes and shaped in conformity with each driven vane in the recess of the recessed screw.

A driver bit adapted to engage in a recess of a recessed screw, the recess being defined as a coaxial superimposition of two equilaterally-triangular and cylindrical recesses each having arcuate vertices and arranged with a phase shift of 60.degree. about a center axis of the recessed screw to provide six engagable grooves and six driven vanes, the driver bit comprising:
- a shank member having a driving portion extending therefrom, the driving portion including six driving vanes and six valleys, wherein each driving vane is shaped in conformity with a groove in the screw recess, with each valley being interposed between adjacent driving vanes and shaped in conformity with the driven vanes in the screw recess, and wherein over at least the distal half of the driving portion, the cross-sectional area of each driving vane is larger than the cross-sectional area of the adjacent valleys.
