Claim:
A press-set threaded screw, comprising: a screw body, having: a body flange; at least one anti-spinout member extending from the body flange; a neck portion axially extending from the body flange; and a threaded member axially extending away from the neck portion, the threaded member in a non-installed condition having first and second displacement portions each having a main thread portion, the first and second displacement portions separated by a first slot, the first displacement portion further divided into first and second sub-portions and the second displacement portion further divided into third and fourth sub-portions by a second slot which is oriented substantially perpendicular to the first slot, the perpendicular orientation of the first and second slots permitting the first, second, third and fourth sub-portions to continuously taper from a threaded member first end to a threaded member second end, such that the threaded member is formed in a frusto-conical shape between the threaded member first and second ends; and a pin frictionally received in a bore created through both the body flange and the neck portion in a screw non-installed condition, the pin axially aligned to be slidably inserted into the first slot whereby the pin oppositely displaces the first and second displacement portions away from each other.
