Abstract: A fastener magazine of, e. g. an electric screwdriver into which connected fasteners
of various girths can be loaded to improve the versatility. A fastener magazine
(5) of a fastening machine has therein a press plate (9) of spring-pressing type
opposed to feed pawl (8) of a fastener feed mechanism. The pressing plate (9) is
disposed at a height at which the connecting belt (B) of the connected screws (S)
is placed and presses the shafts of the connected screws (S) against the wall face
of the feed pawl (8) side. The connecting belt (B) is placed on the top face of the
pressing plate (9) and supported. The fastener passage is so broad that even
thick fasteners can be loaded, and therefore screws of various girths can be held
at predetermined heights. Since the connected screws (S) are pressed against the
wall face of the feed pawl (8) side, the engagement between the feed pawl (8) and
the connected screws (S) is stable, and resultantly the reliability of screw feed is
improved.

Abstract: Provided is an improved pressure-type flow rate control apparatus that can control
the flow rate of a fluid with great precision using an empirical formula. The empirical
formula can provide values that closely fit with the actual flow rates of a compressible
fluid under non-critical conditions. 
     The improved pressure-type flow rate control apparatus can control the flow rate of
fluid passing through an orifice  4  to a target flow rate with accuracy and at a high speed.
The empirical formula for the compressible fluid under non-critical conditions (sub-sonic)
is expressed as Qc = KP 2   m (P 1  - P 2 ) n  and the flow rate of fluid passing through orifice  4  is
calculated by:
 Qc = KP 2   m (P 1  - P 2 ) n   
   (K is a proportional constant; and m and n are constants) 
   so that the flow rate of fluid passing through the orifice  4  can be controlled to the
target flow rate with high precision at a high speed. 
     Also provided is an improved pressure-type flow rate control apparatus in which a
pressure ratio P 2 /P 1  = r, obtained from an upstream pressure P 1  and a downstream pressure
P 2  is constantly compared with a critical value rc, and under critical conditions (r ≤ r c ), the
flow rate is calculated by :
 Qc = KP 1 . 
Under non-critical conditions (r > r c ), the flow rate is calculated by Qc = KP 2   m (P 1  - P 2 ) n , so
that the flow rate is controlled to the target flow rate with accuracy at a high speed
depending upon the conditions of fluid.
