Une autre possibilité serait slotbout qui implique une tête ronde qui se visse sur une tige carrée. :-) Je n'ai pas le dessin sous les yeux. Dommage !

lag bolt or lag screw; coach screw; anchor bolt

There are so many names for this, just take your pick! Lag bolt or lag screw seems to be the most common but the OTUA Lexique de construction gives a nice definition w/ schema and includes the translation 'anchor bolt.' The Dassault-Aviation Lexique is usually helpful. However, in this case, they seem to be the only one using 'coach screw' for "tire-fond."

Peer comment(s):

agree Tony M : I think that 'coach screw' is probably the best term, that's certainly what the ones I've seen in our local DIY shop are; of course, these would almost certainly be some form of screw, and not bolt.

coach bolt, carriage bolt - A fastener for heavy timber sections with a head that is rounded on top and enlarged underneath to a square section, enabling it to grip the wood without turning as the nut is tightened.
[Soctt/Penguin Dict of Bldg]

tire-fond, tirefond - Tige filetée à son extrémité [bolt], ou longue vis [screw], dont la tête est celle d'un boulon, ou un anneau [ring bolt, hook bolt] ...GB: hook bolt, coach bolt

All you need to do now is determine which variety (bolt, screw) your "tire-fond" is!
