Abstract
Fastening plug (10) made of plastic for fastening in a corresponding bore, especially for fastening furniture hardware on furniture, with an elongate stem portion (14) which can be releasably fastened on the associated hardware piece, from whose outer circumferential surface a number of annular projections (16) offset lengthwise on the stem having a triangular cross section tapering outwardly, each forming a knife-edge-like holding burr (18). The outside diameter of the holding burr is greater than the diameter of the corresponding bore, while the stem portion (14) has between the first annular projection (16) on the hardware end and the end facing the hardware a neck (20) whose diameter is smaller than the diameter of the corresponding bore. A spacer ring (22) is provided which extends past the neck (20) when the fastening plug (10) is in the intended mounting position on the hardware and supports the bottom of the hardware, and which is removable from the fastening plug (10) which remains in the corresponding bore after the hardware has been released from the fastening plug.
