A stapler includes a press handle, a loading arm for filling a staple stick having a side window thereon, an anvil base and a magazine prefilled with several sticks of staples engaged with the side window of the arm and having an angled spring plate normally braking a staple stick, whereby upon the retraction of a pusher in the arm, the angled spring plate in the magazine will be straightened to release a standby staple stick tensioned by a leaf spring in the magazine to be filled into the loading arm for convenient refilling of staples without uncovering the loading arm.
A fastener machine and fastener supply magazine therefor include a fastener guide in the machine and means for impelling fasteners along the guide to a fastened driving head, while the magazine automatically feeds clips of fasteners to the guide means from a stack of fastener clips contained in the magazine.

An apparatus for controlling gear shifting in an automatic transmission on a motor vehicle has maximum speed range cut-off switch which can manually be turned on and off selectively, the arrangement being such that the setting of a maximum speed range in each of the shift ranges is prohibited by turning on the maximum speed range cut-off switch. When the maximum-speed range cut-off switch is turned off, speed range shifting is automatically performed dependent on the traveling states of the motor vehicle in one of the shift ranges which is selected by the shift lever shifted to a corresponding shift position. When the maximum speed range cut-off switch is turned on, the setting of the maximum speed range is prohibited in each of the shift ranges. In each shift range, speed range shifting is carried out automatically between the lowest-speed range and a speed range which is one range lower than the maximum speed range dependent on the traveling states of the motor vehicle.
For the purpose of loading the magazine of a scalp clip applicator with C-shaped scalp clips, a feed container is provided for accommodating a row of scalp clips and an insert means is arranged on the magazine for connecting the feed container with the magazine such that the scalp clips can be transferred one after the other from the feed container into the magazine.
