Abstract
The invention relates to an expansible fixing plug ( ), which is manufactured as a two-material fixing plug from a relatively soft and a relatively hard plastics material. To achieve a low insertion torque of an expansion screw as the expansible fixing plug ( ) is expanded, yet nevertheless a high anchoring force, the invention proposes constructing from the relatively hard plastics material expansion fingers ( ), having cross-sectional areas increasing in size in the direction towards the leading end of the expansible fixing plug ( ), which expansion fingers are embedded in expansion tongues ( ) of the relatively soft plastics material having a cross-section corresponding to a circular segment, the expansion tongues ( ) being connected with one another by dilatation zones ( ). (FIG. ).
