Can anyone tell me what one of these is called?

I have a dresser on which two of these have snapped causing the legs to break off. Can anyone tell me what they're called and suggest somewhere I can get replacements from?

Ta!!

'leg fixing plate'
If they keep breaking a dowel might work better.

You don't give dimensions but a heavy duty fixing may work better.

In all fairness this is the first time it's broken in three years. I suspect someone has been dragging the dresser around instead of lifting it and moving it so more likely to be abuse than wear and tear.

This is a better view of it.

Brass plate is 3mm thick and measures 40mm in diamater. Threaded shaft is 25mm long and non-threaded shaft is 15mm long. I'm guessing it's M10 thread.

Would prefer to find a direct replacement as there's already a large hole drilled out in the centre of the leg so dowelling isn't necessarily going to be that sound.

Simple to make if you have access to a metal working machine shop.

I'm assuming you'd need the skills to work with metal to produce such a thing too?
