Abstract
A magazine has an elongated carrier strip ( ) which carries several fastening elements ( ) arranged one behind the other. For each fastening element ( ), the carrier strip ( ) has several receiving surfaces, each receiving surfaces being formed by a support surfaces ( ) having an opening ( ) and by two side members ( ) whose end parts are connected to each other and which jointly form a passage ( ). The diameter of the opening ( ) and of the passage ( ) essentially match the diameter of the shaft ( ) of the fastening element ( ). Extending from the circumference of the opening ( ), there are at least two slits ( ) which divide the circumferential area of the opening ( ) into two circular ring segments that can be pivoted downwardly into the interior of the magazine.
