Abstract: A magazine strip that is fed to a drive-in device via a chute extending at an angle to the drive-in direction is disclosed. A deflector consisting of tongues is provided at the outlet end of the magazine guide, which deflector deflects the magazine strip away from the straight-ahead direction and directs the magazine strip quasi upward such that the magazine strip either extends perpendicularly to the drive-in direction or even back in parallel with the insertion chute, depending on the extent of the deflection. In order that the magazine strip follows this motion, the magazine strip has hinges, the axes of which extend transversely to the longitudinal direction of the magazine strip, and thus, at an angle to the screws located in the retainers of the magazine strip.
