An expansion plug fastening assembly (15, 115) for fastening a hardware element (13, 113), in particular a runner for drawers, to a hole (11, 111), comprises an expansion plug casing (10, 110) which fits into the hole. The casing (10, 110) comprises an axial housing (16, 17, 116, 117) axially rotatably housing the shank (24, 25, 124, 125) of a pin (22, 122) for fastening the hardware element. At least one first segment of the shank (25, 125) has an axis (23) eccentric with respect to the head (18, 118) to permit adjustment of the position of the hardware element in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the pin on rotation of the pin. The shank advantageously also comprises a second segment (24, 124) coaxial to the head and the housing comprising a first (17, 117) and a second portion (16, 116) receiving the first (25, 125) and the second segment (24, 124) respectively. The first portion and second portion being extended in two orthogonal directions radial to the casing of the expansion plug so that, upon rotation of the pin, each segment (24, 25, 124, 125) moves in the direction of extension of its respective portion of the housing.
An expansion plug fastening assembly for fastening a hardware element, in particular a runner for drawers, to a hole in a surface, comprising an expansion plug casing which fits into the hole, the casing internally comprising an axial housing rotatably supporting therein the shank of a pin, said pin having a head facing out from the housing for fastening engagement with the hardware element, and means for guiding the head in a direction transverse to the axis of said pin, including at least a first segment of the shank having an axis eccentric with respect to said head to effect adjustment of the position of the hardware element in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the pin upon rotation of the pin;
