Claim:
1. A device for storing and supplying lancets for obtaining bodily fluids, comprising: a lancet storage unit, having a plurality of needle-shaped lancets, a lancet magazine, which comprises a drive unit, which moves a selected lancet for carrying out a piercing process from a rest position into a piercing position in a piercing direction, and a retraction unit, which moves the selected lancet from the piercing position into the rest position in a retraction direction thereof after the piercing process has been carried out, the retraction unit being connected to the lancet storage unit and being displaceable as a whole with respect thereto, wherein the drive unit is attached to one spring element and loaded with a spring force by means of said one spring element, so as to move the drive unit and the retraction unit along the piercing direction and the retraction direction, wherein the drive unit is fixed with respect to the retraction unit by a first clip connection which connects the drive unit to the retraction unit rigidly along the piercing direction and the retraction direction, and through said first clip connection the drive unit is able to drive the entire forward and backward movement of the retraction unit and the selected lancet, and wherein the first clip connection is configured for twisting the drive unit with respect to the retraction unit about a longitudinal axis, extending in the piercing direction, of the lancet magazine, wherein by said twisting the next lancet is selected.
