Abstract

A plug for fixing to hollow and to solid building materials has a plug body having a plurality of longitudinally extending expansible limbs that are expansible by screwing in of an expansion screw, the expansible limbs having a rear end and a leading end, a sleeve-shaped plug end which joins the expansible limbs with one another at the rear end and is formed so that the expansion screw is insertable through the plug end, a sleeve-shaped plug tip which joins the expansible sleeves with one another at the leading end and which is formed so that the expansion screw is screwable into the plug tip, and a stretchable material which joins the expansible limbs with one another circumferentially and which is pierced by several helically arranged slots.

Claims (9)

1. A plug for fixing to hollow and to solid building materials, comprising a plug body having a plurality of longitudinally extending expansible limbs that are expansible by screwing in of an expansion screw, said expansible limbs having a rear end and a leading end; a sleeve-shaped plug end which joins said expansible limbs with one another at said rear end and is formed so that the expansion screw is insertable through said plug end; a sleeve-shaped plug tip which joins said expansible limbs with one another at said leading end and which is formed so that the expansion screw is screwable into said plug tip; and a stretchable material which joins said expansible limbs with one another circumferentially and which is pierced by several helically arranged slots.

2. A plug as defined in claim 1 , wherein said plug end has a larger transverse dimension than in a region of said expansible limbs of said plug body and then said plug tip.

3. A plug as defined in claim 1 ; and further comprising at least two opposing anti-rotation ribs extending in a longitudinal direction and having a saw-tooth construction over a part of the length of said anti-rotation ribs, said anti-rotation ribs being arranged on an outer circumference of said plug body.

4. A plug as defined in claim 1 , wherein said plug tip has non-rectilinear slots formed so that one arm of said slots is inclined in a direction of a lid of a thread of the expansion screw and another arm is inclined in an opposite direction.

5. A plug as defined in claim 1 , wherein said plug body has a screw channel provided for the expansion screw and having inside said plug tip a cross-section other than a circular cross-section.

6. A plug as defined in claim 1 , wherein said plug body has a screw channel which in a region of said plug tip has a flat cross-section.

7. A plug as defined in claim 6 , wherein said screw channel of said plug body is slot-shaped.

8. A plug as defined in claim 7 , wherein said screw channel of said plug body is formed by two intersecting slots.

9. A plug as defined in claim 1 , wherein said plug tip has two opposing slots running in a longitudinal direction of said plug body and having a base spaced from a screw channel provided in said plug body for the expansion screw.
