Abstract

A recessed screw has a recess formed in the head of screw, with the recess being defined as a superimposition of two equilaterally-triangular recesses each having vertices shaped arcuate and arranged coaxially with a phase shift of 60.degree. around the screw axis. The recess thus has alternating six grooves and six driven vanes having side walls extending parallel with the axis, and an inner ridge of vane is a conically curved sticking wall inwardly slanted towards a bottom of the recess. A cross-sectional area of groove is larger than that of each vane. A driver bit has six driving vanes in conformity with the grooves and six valleys each interposed between the adjacent driving vanes and corresponding to the driven vanes in the recess, such that a biting action appears between the recess and bit, the driving vanes can be strengthened, and any conventional bit for Torx screws can be used with the recessed screw.
