Abstract

In order to simplify the structure of the cartridge and reduce the structural size in a cartridge with a plurality of C-shaped ligature clips, with a housing accommodating ligature clips arranged in a row one behind the other and parallel to one another, with a transport element, which can be slid forward and back relative to the housing in the direction of the row and which when sliding forward and back relative to the housing causes at least one ligature clip to advance towards a discharge end of the cartridge, it is proposed that the ligature clips each have two legs connected by means of a bridge section and are divided by a longitudinal slit into two adjacent sections, which are connected to one another in the region of the free ends of the legs, and that the transport element passes through the ligature clips arranged in a row in the space between the two adjacent sections of the ligature clips.
