Abstract
The tightening screw of the invention comprises a screw member forming female threads or male threads in a shaft core part, a flange ring fitted to the outer periphery of the screw member to contact with the object to be tightened, an operating ring for feeding a rotational force by fitting oppositely to the flange ring on the outer periphery of the screw member, and a torque transmitting member interposed between the screw member and operating ring for transmitting the rotational force of the operating ring to the screw member, wherein the torque transmitting member comprises a rotation number reduction mechanism for transmitting the rotational force of the operating ring to the screw member by reducing the rotation number and thereby increase the transmitted torque, and a unidirectional torque limiter for cutting off transmission of torque in the tightening direction of the screw member to the object to be tightened at a specific load.
