Patent ID: 10001155

Abstract:
The invention relates to an expansible fixing plug (1) which consists of at least two different plastics materials, having a main body (2) made of the first plastics material, which is at least partly encased by a casing (3) made of the second plastics material. The main body (2) has an expansion region (5), which extends along a longitudinal axis (L) between a sleeve (6) and an insertion sleeve (4) forming the rear end of the expansible fixing plug (1), in which expansion region there are arranged at least two expansion tongues (11, 12) which are separated from one another by a first slot (13), the first slot (13) being at least partly filled in the expansion region (5) by a casing element (21) of the casing (3). In order to obtain an expansible fixing plug (1) having improved expansion behavior, it is proposed that on at least one expansion tongue (11, 12) there be arranged a local weakened position (17) as predetermined bending point.
