PCT No. PCT/GB96/00792 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 3, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 3, 1997 PCT Filed Apr. 2, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO96/31706 PCT Pub. Date Oct. 10, 1996A shearable fastener has a threaded shank (10) adapted for engagement with a threaded bore and a head (12) formed for engagement with a drive tool. The shank (10) is formed with a series of axially separated weakenings (14) defining a series of shear planes, the weakenings (14) being formed such that the applied torque necessary to cause the shank (10) to shear increases progressively from the shear plane (14) furthest from the head (12) to the shear plane (14) nearest the head (12).
