Artur Fischer, a German inventor, is known for inventing the plastic dowel, also known as the “Fischer dowel”, in 1958. This small invention revolutionized the construction industry by providing a simple and effective solution for attaching objects to walls made of concrete, brick or other solid materials.
The Fischer dowel consists of a small plastic cylinder with wings on the outside that expand when inserted into a drilled hole in the wall. This creates a firm and secure anchor for screws, nails or any other type of fastening.
This innovation has changed the home improvement and construction industry forever by making it much easier and safer to attach objects to walls. Fischer also has numerous other inventions and patents that underline his role as one of the most important German inventors of the 20th century.
