Abstract
Abstract Screw device for adjustable interconnecting two elements, such as a wall and a door frame, comprising a screw member to be screwed into one of the elements having a head portion adapted to be engaged by a wrench or similar tool and an externally screw threaded tubular nut member to be screwed into the other element, and which rotatably surrounds the head portion while being maintained against axial displacement, the nut member having a socket for receiving the head portion in spaced relationship to provide access for a tool to selectively rotate the screwhead and the nut for adjustment of the spacing between the elements and to lock the screwhead and the nut against relative movement.

Screw device for adjustable interconnecting two elements comprising: a. an elongated screw member having a screw threaded portion at one end to be screwed into one of said elements and a polygonal bolt head portion adapted to be engaged by a wrench tool at the other end; b. a collar defining the end of the screw threaded portion; c. a cylindrical portion betWeen said collar and the bolt head; d. an externally screw threaded tubular nut member to be screwed into the other one of said elements having a portion rotatably supported on said cylindrical portion and abutting said collar and a portion having an enlarged diameter relative to the screw threaded portion of said screw member surrounding said bolt head portion; e. means for maintaining said tubular nut member against axial displacement on said cylindrical portion while permitting rotative movement thereon; f. the portion of said tubular nut member surrounding said bolt head portion having an enlarged polygonal socket adapted for internal engagement by a wrench tool and to accommodate said bolt head portion in relatively spaced relationship to provide a space permitting access for a wrench tool for selective engagement with either or both of said bolt head portion and said socket; g. the screw threads of said screw member and the screw threads of said nut member having the same pitch.
