Abstract
In a fastening arrangement, where a relatively flat part (8) can be connected with a thicker part (9) by at least one screw (5) and an associated straddling dowel (1), in particular for fastening the front panel (9) or rear wall of drawers on flanges (8) of lateral frames, the flat part has an insertion hole (11, 12) for the straddling dowel (1) to be introduced up to a stop head (7) and to be inserted with its spreader (3) in an opening or blind hole (10) of the thicker part (9). To enable a pre-assembly, the straddling dowel (1) has a stepped neck (6) between its head (7) and the spreader portion (3) to be inserted in the opening (10) or blind hole, which neck has chamfers or a square profile on its outside for the fixed support on adapted countersurfaces (12, 13) of the insertion hole (11, 12).
