Abstract: A fastening device in the form of a plug and a screw is adapted for installation in a blind bore of a thick wall or in a through hole in a thin wall. The plug is formed as an elongated body having a central longitudinal hole. The body has inner and outer end portions and two parallel slots extending longitudinally between the end portions to define four legs arranged circumferentially around the body. The legs diverge from the end portions to form an increasing diameter for the body which reaches a maximum at the center of the body. When the plug is inserted into a blind bore the legs are displaced inwardly to reduce the size of the central longitudinal hole so that when the screw is inserted into the plug, the screw will exert force on the legs to press the legs against the wall with strong radial forces.

Abstract: Apparatus for the fire-sealing of a lead-through for at least one cable through a building framework comprising an inner pipe filled with precompressed elastic fire-resistant foam material and an outer pipe surrounding the inner pipe. The apparatus is mounted in a hole in the framework and the two pipes are connected to respective outer walls of the framework. Between the pipes there is a gap admitting relative movement of the pipes. The gap is sealed by the foam material filling the inner pipe and a portion of which extends into the outer pipe and presses against its inner surface.
