Abstract
This invention relates to a loader particularly for a tacking machine. The loader according to the invention comprises a drum having a cylindrical side wall provided with a helical slot for receiving the shanks of the tacks of a flexible tack strip wound onto the drum. The drum is mounted onto an idle pivot pin within a housing space defined between two half-box shaped bodies connected to one another. Said half-box bodies further define an outlet mouth for the tack strip which mouth is aligned with the magazine inlet of the machine, while the axis of the pivot pin is perpendicular to those of the magazine and the firing nose.
