Abstract
A feed device for fastening elements with low length-to-diameter ratio has a hollow clamp into which individual fastening elements are inserted through a feed channel. The clamp has an internal pocket for pre-positioning a fastening element. A piston moves through the feed channel to engage the fastening element and to open the clamp to release the fastening element for further movement by the piston.
