Abstract:
1. A plastic anchor to affix a component to a support, comprising a rectangular affixation aperture, a resilient, flange-like head, a hollow shank which subtends an axis and is connected at one end to the head to receive an affixation screw, further resilient detent arms connected to the closed shank end away from the head, the detent arms running obliquely outward toward the head and being fitted at their free ends with a detent shoulder that, in the assembled state, engages a facing edge of the affixation aperture in order to secure the anchor against being pulled out of said aperture, characterized in that at least one arm element is connected to the side of the detent arms facing the shank, said arm element running obliquely inward toward the closed end of the shank, in that a rest surface is integrated into the outside of the shank and is configured near the free end of the arm element approximately transversely to the shank in a manner that the free end of the arm element cooperates with the rest surface when a pullout force is exerted on the assembled anchor.
