Ever used one of these?

Artur Fischer, inventor of the plastic wall plug / screw anchor, died Jan 27th aged 96.

Quote:
He also invented [synchronised] flash light photography as he saw an issue with the previously used magnesium flash.

He held over 1100 patents and overtook Thomas Alva Edison, who held 1093 patents. Fischer also held 5867 trade rights.
