Screw member with biting features
A screw member having a loosening prevention function is provided to improve a fastening power and a relative strength in thread connection. With an arrangement to provide a first crest portion and a second crest portion at the opposite ends of a thread point, a first screw member generates a loosening prevention effect due to elastic deformation of the first crest portion and the second crest portion, with the entire thread flank from the base portion to the point brought into contact with a second screw member on the both surfaces of the thread flanks. With this arrangement, a strong fastening power can be obtained, and a clamping force applied to the thread is distributed over the thread, thereby enabling improvement in the relative strength in thread connection.
