Abstract

A magazine body (2) with a plurality of radial magazine chambers (3) by insertion in an axial fastening device (20) with chamber inlets (4) is made to coincide with a medium passage opening (30) and with outlets (5) is made to coincide with a connecting opening (33) of a suction head (17), so that the medium occurs in uninterrupted manner at the inlets (4). The suction head (17) evacuates all the magazine chambers (3) and then filled via the passage (30) from a medium supply (12) and against a medium retaining device (36). With the ejection of the filled magazine chambers (33) the inlets and outlets (4, 5) are closed in medium-tight manner by stripping from closure parts (8, 9).
