Abstract

A magazine strip for use in a setting power tool includes a carrier strip ( 11 ) for carrying the fastening elements ( 20 ) and formed of a plurality of strip segments ( 12 ) each having a receptacle for a fastening element ( 20 ), and a corresponding plurality of pivot connections ( 14 ) provided between respective adjacent strip segments ( 12 ) for enabling a pivotal movement of the strip segments relative to each other, with pivot axes of the pivot connections extending coaxially with respective fastening elements ( 20 ).

1 . A magazine strip for use in a setting power tool, comprising a plurality of fastening elements ( 20 ); and a carrier strip ( 11 ) for carrying the fastening elements ( 20 ) and formed of a plurality of strip segments ( 12 ) each having a receptacle for a fastening element ( 20 ), and a corresponding plurality of pivot connections ( 14 ) provided between respective adjacent strip segments ( 12 ) for enabling a pivotal movement of the strip segments relative to each other, with pivot axes (Z) of the pivot connections extending coaxially with respective fastening elements ( 20 ). 
   
   
       2 . A magazine strip according to  claim 1 , wherein each fastening element ( 20 ) connects two respective adjacent strip segments ( 12 ) as chain elements. 
   
   
       3 . A magazine strip according to  claim 1 , wherein each strip segment ( 12 ) has a sleeve-shaped first section ( 15 ), a web-shaped second section ( 16 ) projecting radially from the first section ( 15 ), and a third annular section ( 17 ) arranged on the second section ( 16 ) and a ring axis (R) of which extends parallel to a cylinder axis (L) of the first section ( 15 ) and which axially lies outside of a radial projection of the first section ( 15 ). 
   
   
       4 . A magazine strip according to  claim 1 , wherein an annular fourth section ( 18 ) is directly formed on an end of the first section ( 15 ) remote from the third section ( 17 ), the fourth section ( 18 ) having, at least in one region a greater diameter than the first section ( 15 ). 
   
   
       5 . A magazine strip according to  claim 1 , wherein the third section ( 17 ) has, at least in one region, a greater diameter than the first section ( 15 ).
