Abstract:
A magazine comprising a magazine tape adapted to store screws to be fed to a screwdriver, which screws can be pressed out successively by the screwdriver and screwed into the intended objects, and a guide for the magazine tape, the magazine tape comprising a web having a pair of opposed longitudinal edges and a flange extending along each edge, the flanges each comprising a cross-member which, together, form an I-shaped profile with the web; and the guide comprising spaced apart opposed guide members defining a guide slot, the space between the spaced apart opposed guide members being such that the flanges lie outside of the guide members when the magazine tape is inserted in the guide slot, to thereby secure the carrier tape from disengaging from the guide slots when the screws are pressed out of the carrier tape.
