Abstract

A device for processing a belt strap for storing screws, in which the belt strap has a flat, U-shaped cross section that has a periphery that has a ratio of no more than 11:10 relative to the non-flanged belt. A guide device for the belt strap guides and holds the belt strap. The screws can be pressed out from the upper side of the belt strap. The guide device (3) has two guide slits (10) receiving the belt strap (2) in at least the region of the flanges (4), each slit being L-shaped in cross section and each having a contact surface (5) for the underside (6) of the belt (20) and a guide rib (11) extending across the flange (4). A distance (M) of each guide rib (11) from the contact surface (5) has a value greater than the belt thickness (D) and less than a length (Q) of a corner diagonal (12) of the belt strap (2) extending in the U-shaped cross section between the points at which the inner side (7) of the flange (4) intersects the upper side (9) of the belt (20) and one of the outer sides (17) of the belt strap (2) intersects the underside (6) of the belt (2).
