Abstract: A separating device separating fastening elements from a container comprises a transfer channel for transferring fastening elements in a transfer direction, the transfer channel having a separating section; a stop element, having a blocking position, in which the stop element projects into the separating section, blocking the channel for the fastening element, such that one fastening element rests against the stop element in a waiting position, and an onward transfer position, in which the stop element allows movement of the fastening element in the transfer direction to a standby position; and a retention element, having a retaining position, in which the retention element projects into the separating section, blocking the channel for the fastening element, such that the fastening element rests against the retention element in the standby position, and a release position, in which the retention element allows fastening element movement in the transfer direction beyond the separating section.

Abstract: A separating device for separating a fastening element from a fastening element strip is provided, having a receptacle, in which the fastening element is received, wherein the fastening element defines a fastening direction, in which the fastening element is provided for being driven into an underlying surface; a transfer channel for transfer of the fastening element strip in a transfer direction, wherein the transfer channel has a separating section; a stop element, which has a stop position, in which the stop element projects into the transfer channel and forms a stop for the fastening element in the transfer direction when the fastening element is arranged in the separating section; and a passage position, in which the stop element is arranged outside the transfer channel and allows movement of the fastening element beyond the separating section in the transfer direction.

Abstract: The invention relates to an application unit for an application device, in particular an application gun for applying gel-like and/or paste-like compositions, having an output unit for dispensing the compositions, a connection element, such as a cover, for connecting the output unit to the main body of the application device, and a closure element, wherein the closure element is rotatable around an axis of rotation with respect to the connection element and the output unit for fastening the output unit on the connection element and for detaching the output unit from the connection element, wherein a lifting unit is formed and arranged in such a way that the output unit is lifted by a rotation of the closure element.

Abstract: A holding device (10) for a fastening element (51) includes at least two gripping elements (20a, 20b) each having a clamping jaw (21, 22) provided thereon, with the clamping jaws (21, 22) engaging, in their support position (19), a shaft (52) of the fastening element (51), and with at least one clamping jaw (21, 22) having, at its free end (27) adjacent to another clamping jaw (21, 22), a recess (23, 24) for the fastening element (51) and a defining an axis (A), and a pivot element (25) for pivotally supporting at least of the clamping jaws (21, 22) on a respective griping element (20a, 20b) and having a pivot axis (S) extending substantially axial to the axis (A) defined by the recess (23, 24) of the at least one clamping jaw.
