Abstract
The anti-theft fastener has a shearing head, a shaft and a fastening element. The shearing head has at least one shearing tab. The shaft is threaded and connected the shearing head. The fastening element is mounted around the shearing head and has an outer surface having a countersink and at least one shearing recess. The countersink is formed in the outer surface around the connecting hole. The at least one shearing recess is formed in countersink, and corresponds to the at least one shearing tab, and each shearing recess has at least one shearing surface, whereby the at least one shearing tab is broken off by the shearing surface of the fastening element.
Claims17
An anti-theft fastener comprising:
- at least one shearing head, and each one of the at least one shearing head having
- an inner surface;
- a mounting tube being formed on and protruding from the inner surface of the shearing head and having an annular surface;
- and
- at least one shearing tab being formed on the shearing head;
- and
- a shaft being threaded and connected with the at least one shearing head and having
- at least one shearing end, and each one of the at least one shearing end being connected with the mounting tube of one of the at least one shearing head;
- and
- at least one fastening element, and each one of the at least one fastening element being mounted around the mounting tube of one of the at least one shearing head and having
- a connecting hole being formed through the fastening element around the mounting tube of the corresponding shearing head;
- an outer surface having
- a countersink being formed in the outer surface around the connecting hole;
- an abutting surface being formed in the countersink around the connecting hole;
- and
- at least one shearing recess being formed in the abutting surface, corresponding to the at least one shearing tab on the corresponding shearing head, and each one of the at least one shearing recess having at least one shearing surface, whereby the at least one shearing tab on the corresponding shearing head is broken off by the at least one shearing surface abutting the at least one shearing surface on the corresponding shearing head.
