Abstract: A fixing element is disclosed for anchoring in solid massive bases, such as, for example, concrete, stone, solid brick, wood or similar which includes a tie bolt provided with an anchoring section having a spiral-shaped surrounding profile at least over a partial area of the longitudinal extension. A head section, which expands in the radial direction in relation to the anchoring section, connects to the anchoring section counter to the direction of mounting. The fixing element also includes a helical spring which can be premounted on the partial area of the anchoring section which is provided with the spiral-shaped profile. The spiral-shaped surrounding profile is formed from at least two axial cone sections which adjoin one another and which have a cover surface which extends in a spiral-shaped manner, the surface widening in the direction of mounting. The cone sections include a pitch which is greater than a pitch of the helical spring.

Abstract: A thread-cutting screwed dowel has an essentially cylindrical, sleevelike dowel body with an axial bore and with a load engagement device disposed in the interior of the dowel body, for example with a female thread. On its outer face, the dowel body is equipped with at least one cutting edge, which extends helically along a majority of the outer face of the dowel body and protrudes radially past it. The helical cutting edge is embodied as a primary cutting edge and wraps around the dowel body over its length in at least three windings. Besides the load engagement device, an additional engagement is provided for transmitting a torque in the interior of the dowel body.
