Abstract
Strips which are to be worked in a forming tool are taken out of a magazine and deposited on a guide at which by means of a finger rod with elastic catchs they are guided to the tool and stepwise advanced through said tool. By means of the programmable driving for the finger rod, this finger rod can execute strokes in any direction and in any different dimensions in order to guide the strips in the forming tool and for displacing them stepwise through the tool. The stripfeeder is of simple construction and it can be programmed for the most different requirements in that only the driving will be correspondingly programmed.
