est-ce que c'est une vis sans fin, une vis à ressort, un auget ? mes dictionnaires me proposent les 3, et comme je n'ai pas de contexte... toujours mon catalogue.
merci à tous les bricoleurs du dimanche !

vis transporteuse ou trépan ( tarière)


Explanation:
C'est soit un instrument pour forer (trépan, tarière), soit une vis type sans fin pour transporter.
Forage pétrolier : on parle de cuiller, tarière (selon GDT et Dictionnaire des Sciences et Techniques du Pétrole).
Vis transporter, voir les deux références que je donne.
Il y a un troisième sens, celui de "vrille".
