Abstract

The invention relates to a fixing element (10) for anchoring in a drilled hole (30, 32) having an undercut (28) in a laminated body (24, 26), for example, laminated glass. The fixing element (10) has an expander cone (14), onto which an expansion ring (16) can be pushed. To be able to compensate for misalignment between the layers (24, 26) of the laminated body (24, 26), the drilled hole (30) in an outer layer (24) is drilled with a larger diameter than in a further layer (26) of the laminated body (24, 26). The invention proposes constructing a washer (18) of the fixing element (10) with an injection opening (22), through which the gap between a threaded shank (12) of the fixing element (10) and the wall of the drilled hole (30) in the outer layer (24) of the laminated body (24, 26) can be filled with a sealing compound (26)2. (FIG. 2).
