Abstract: The sealing apparatus (100) is used in a substantially vertical position by the user, who inserts a magazine pack containing nails into the hopper (101). After unlocking of the hopper (101), the nails slide in the flexible feed tube (10) as far as the front of a feeder for indirect firing, in a buffer guide (102). The user then merely has to actuate a trigger (103) in order to entrain the nails into the support via the feeder. In order to preserve the transparent quality of the tube (10), its effective inner cross section (21) is not circular, but is arranged (23) such that the contact between the lateral wall of the circular head of the nail (1) and the effective inner wall (21) of the tube (10) is not possible on certain portions (22) of the effective inner wall (21).
