Helicodesign (Japan) is designing a flower screw named "Fa―head", which utilizes the curve, contour and arc structures of a petal and applies the rules of the nature to create a unique head shape along with a function to suppress loosening and deformation incurred by fastening.
The screw design was conceived by president Yamamura of Helicodesign, but it was actually inspired by a three-year-old girl. Back in 2015, the three-year-old girl came by Yamamura who was designing a screw shape and said, "Daddy's screws are not cute! Flowers screws are cute!" His daughter's words motivated him to start digging into the possibility of producing flower screws. The cold rolling engineer drew hundreds of screw models with forgeability in his mind and finally arrived at the birth of "Fa―head" screw.
"Fa―head" is still in the process of refining design and evolving, but its added value already precedes performance.
