ABSTRACT:
Screwing device which incorporates a screw charger. The device comprises a tube which encloses axially aligned screws and which is capable of being made integral with a maneuvering shaft. The tube comprises, at its free end, rings for blocking the head of a screw and allowing only the threaded part of the screw to protrude. The screw is brought into this position with the aid of an axial thrust shaft which can be maneuvered by the user. For rotationally blocking the screw in the screwing position, the tube comprises at least two longitudinal slots which confer on the free end a certain transverse elasticity permitting a screw to be brought into the screwing position, and ensure that the screw is not driven in rotation and is released when the limit torque is reached.
