Abstract
A fastening system includes a base plate for receiving a fastening plug, the fastening plug having a shank and a head and the base plate includes a conduit for guiding and damping the shank of the plug. The base plate further includes a damping cup that is intended to house the head of the plug and the conduit following compression by the head of the plug, once the fastening plug has been driven through the base plate. The cup and the conduit are designed in such a manner that cooperation between the plug shank and the conduit causes the cup to at least partially cover the head of the plug when the plug is driven through the base plate.
