AI Technical Summary
Existing insulating screw dowels and fastening elements for soft materials, such as those described in DE 40 41 765 A1, DE 20 2009 011 050 U1, DE 20 2009 016 865 U1, DE 34 41 784 C2, and DE 296 08 334 U1, suffer from low resistance to being pulled out and inadequate sealing against moisture, particularly when used in soft, pressure-resistant insulating materials.
The insulating screw anchor features a shank with a cylindrical outer jacket and a cylindrical insertion hole, having a constant diameter over a central and rear region, with a conical tip for easy insertion and a self-tapping external thread, a contact flange for sealing, and a fine thread for secure retention and moisture resistance.
The design ensures easy screwing into soft materials with a firm hold, prevents pulling out, and provides effective sealing against moisture penetration, allowing for secure and adjustable fastening.

Abstract
Claims
[1] Insulating screw anchor made of plastic for fixing in a soft material in the form of an dam material comprising a shaft (2) with a cylindrical outer shell (3) and a cylindrical insert hole (4), in which an external thread (5) is attached to the outer casing (3), wherein the shaft has a head (14) with a contact flange (16), wherein the shaft (2) of the insulating screw anchor (1) is divided into a tip region (6), a middle region (7) and a rear region (8) which adjoins the head (14), wherein the external thread (5) extends from the rear region (8) of the shaft (2) over the middle region (7) to the tip region (6), wherein the shaft (2) has a constant diameter (D1) in the middle region (7) and in the rear region (8) and the external diameter (D2) of the external thread (5) is constant over the rear region (7) and middle region (8), and the distance between two adjacent thread flanks (11) of the external thread (5) is constant over the entire length of the shaft (2) and the thread flanks (11) over the entire length of the Insulating screw anchors have constant flank angles (12, 13),whereby the insulating screw anchor (1) at white, the screw-in depth can subsequently be changed while retaining a firm hold, wherein the tip region (6), which extends over at least several turns (9, 9') of the external thread (5), is conical, wherein the contact flange (16) is designed to be sealing, and wherein the insert hole (4) has a metric or inch thread (10). [2] Insulating screw anchor according to claim 1, characterized by that the thread (10) extends over at least part of the length of the insert hole (4). [3] Insulating screw anchor according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by that the thread flanks (11) have a lower flank angle (12) of 30°. [4] Insulating screw anchor according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by that the thread flanks (11) have an upper flank angle (13) of 8°. [5] Insulating screw anchor according to one of the preceding claims, characterized bythat the head (14) is provided with a projection (15) with a multiple edge outline. [6] Insulating screw anchor according to claim 5, characterized by that between the contact flange (16) and the beginning of the external thread (5) there is a bulge (17) which tapers conically towards the tip of the shaft (2). [7] Insulating screw anchor according to claim 6, characterized by that the contact flange (16) on the threaded side of the head (14) together with the bulge (17) forms a joint (19). [8] Insulating screw anchor according to claim 7, characterized by that the joint (19) is suitable for accommodating a seal. [9] Insulating screw anchor according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by that the insulating screw anchor is made in one piece.
