Abstract: A toggle fixing with two obliquely arranged compression elements which enter into engagement with a screw thread of a screw passed through a screw hole and provide triangular support for the screw. A tension element absorbs compressive forces of the compression elements.

Abstract: A toggle fixing having a crosspiece and a strip which is pivotally connected to the crosspiece via a flexible portion. The crosspiece is formed with a detent with which the crosspiece, on insertion through a through-hole in a plasterboard panel, is supported against a toothing of the strip.

Abstract: A toggle fixing for fixing to a panel which is accessible only from one side. The toggle fixing has a crosspiece and a strip which is flexible and, as a result, pivotally connected to the crosspiece and on which a sleeve is displaceable in the direction of the crosspiece. The sleeve is provided with a screw hole, so that a screw cannot be pushed through but rather needs to be screwed through the sleeve in order that it can be screwed into the crosspiece. The sleeve relieves the crosspiece of an axial force of the screw.

Abstract: A toggle fixing for fixing an article to a thin-walled component, having a crosspiece for engaging behind the component, which crosspiece has an opening for receiving a screw. Connected to the crosspiece there is an elongated strip having a displaceable sleeve which has a screw hole for passage of the screw. The sleeve has an engagement element for threaded engagement of a screw in order that the latter does not unintentionally tilt the crosspiece during mounting. In order to provide quick insertion of a screw, the engagement element has a manipulating element such that the engagement element is movable radially outwards relative to the longitudinal axis, and the engagement element is manipulatable from a rear side of the sleeve emote from the crosspiece.

Abstract: The invention relates to a toggle fixing for fixing an article to a thin-walled building component, having a crosspiece, which has an opening for receiving a screw, and having a strip which is connected to the crosspiece and serves for holding and positioning the crosspiece during mounting. In order also to be able to use such a fixing in a solid building material, the invention proposes that the crosspiece have a screw channel parallel to the crosspiece longitudinal axis (L1).

Abstract: The invention relates to a toggle fixing for fixing an article to a thin-walled building component. The toggle fixing comprises a crosspiece and a strip. The crosspiece is elongated, with an opening for receiving a screw. The strip for holding and positioning the crosspiece is joined to the crosspiece and extends along a strip longitudinal axis (L3). According to the invention, there is arranged on the strip an elongated grip element which projects from the strip at an angle with respect to the strip longitudinal axis (L3).

Abstract: A toggle fixing for fixing an article to a thin-walled building component. The toggle fixing includes a crosspiece and a strip which is connected to the crosspiece and serves for holding the crosspiece during mounting. An opening for receiving a screw is formed centrally on the crosspiece, the opening extending along an opening longitudinal axis (LÖ). In order that screws of which the external diameter (DA) is smaller than the internal diameter (DK) of the opening can also be fixed to the crosspiece it is proposed that there be arranged on the crosspiece at least one counterbearing element having a spacing (AW) from the opening longitudinal axis (LÖ) that is less than half the internal diameter (DK) of the opening.

Abstract: The invention relates to an expansible fixing plug having two limbs arranged opposite one another, from which there project in opposite circumferential directions, alternately, expansion elements which are hook-shaped in a side view. In order to improve guidance of an expander screw, the invention proposes that expansion elements in a front portion of an expansion region be connected in pairs by extensible and tearable connectors, which extend on a slant relative to the longitudinal direction of the fixing plug.

Abstract: The invention relates to an expansible fixing plug having limbs extending in a longitudinal direction of the fixing plug, from which limbs expansion elements project in opposite circumferential directions. The invention proposes constructing the expansion elements in the shape of hooks and so as to extend between one another with a spacing so that they connect the limbs by means of interlocking connections which come into effect after flexion or torsion of the expansible fixing plug or after buckling out of the limbs. The buckling, flexural and torsional strength of the fixing plug is increased.

Abstract: The invention relates to an expansible fixing plug (1) having two expansion limbs (4), which are expansible by introduction of a screw (not shown). To increase stability, it is proposed according to the invention to join the expansion limbs (4) in the peripheral region by angular connectors (7) which are integral with the expansion limbs (4). The connectors (7) are angled or curved in two notional planes relative to the expansible fixing plug (1); they can thus easily stretch and do not impede the expansion of the expansion limbs (4) to any appreciable extent.

Abstract: The invention relates to a connection element (1) for connecting constructional components (2, 3) or the like mechanically, consisting of two coupling halves (4, 5) arranged to be brought into engagement, each of which is arranged to be fastened by means of screws (6) or the like to the constructional components (2, 3) to be connected. In order to make a connection element (1) of such a kind highly stable and simple to install, the invention proposes that each of the coupling halves (4, 5) comprise a tubular part (7, 8), which tubular parts have different cross-sections and can be inserted one into the other, and that the tubular parts (7, 8) be arranged at an angle with respect to the contact faces (16) of the constructional components (2, 3).

Abstract: The invention relates to an expansible fixing plug having a fixing plug sleeve and an expander screw (10). The invention proposes to align the rear (in the direction of screwing-in) flank (20) of a screw thread (18) of the expander screw (10) at a shallow angle of about 9° relative to the axial direction of the expander screw (10) and to construct the screw thread (18) with a large thread pitch. In the event of the expander screw (10) being subjected to stress in the pull-out direction, the rear flank (20) acts in the manner of expander cones arranged one behind the other axially and expands the fixing plug sleeve. The expansible fixing plug exhibits subsequent expansion behaviour in the event of the drilled hole's becoming wider.
