Magazine for a power-driven drive-in apparatus for the accommodation of pins or nails or the like

A magazine for a power-driven drive-in apparatus for the accommodation of pins or nails, especially headless nails or pins, comprising a guiding channel the roof wall of which is adapted to assume different heights vis-à-vis the bottom wall for adaptation to the lengths of the pins or nails. A side wall of the guiding channel is formed by at least one longitudinal surface of a lamination which is supported in the upper region of the guiding channel to be capable of limited movement along an axis transverse to the longitudinal axis of the guiding channel and is biased by a spring in a direction towards the other side wall. A lateral covering rail when in a retracted position releases the guiding channel to be charged from the side with its guide designed in such a manner that with the covering rail in the closed position the longitudinal surface of the lamination either lies in close contact against the other side wall or against the upper ends of the nails or pins, and in the partially or entirely opened rearward position the lamination is spaced through a distance from the other side wall.
