A lower side of the round disk 11 is connected to an upper end of the lower tapered portion of the head 1. A lower side of the round disk unconnected to the tapered portion is formed as an annular ring as illustrated in Figs. 4 and 6.

The annular ring of the round disk 11 of the head 1 is formed with a plurality of inclined protrusion 12. The recesses between the protrusions 12 are arranged along un-radial paths. These recesses may be straight lines (referring to Fig. 6) or cambered (referring to Fig. 4).

A periphery of the lower tapered portion of the head 1 is formed with at 5 least one knife sheets 3 which extended from the annular ring of the round disk 11 of the head 1 to the stem 2. Furthermore, the knife sheets 3 are extended to a distance L of the stem 2. The direction of the knife sheet 3 is inclined to the axis of the lower tapered portion of the head 1. The knife edge of the knife sheet 3 may be straight (referring to Figs. 1 to 3, 5, 7, 20 12 and 16) or inwardly cambered (referring to Figs. 15 and 18) or outwardly cambered (referring to Figs. 14, 17 and 19). Two sides of the knife edge of the knife sheet 3 may be formed with cut planes (referring to Fig. 20). The direction of the knife edges of the knife sheet 3 can be non-radial (referring to Figs. 1 to 12), or radial (referring to Figs. 13 to 20).

With reference to Figs. 3 and 4, an lower surface of each protrusion of the annular ring of the head 1 is parallel to the upper surface of the round disk 11. The recesses between the protrusions 12 of the annular ring of the head 1 are not radially arranged and are cambered; and the knife edges of the knife sheets 3 are not radially arranged and are cambered.
