Abstract: In a vehicle seat, a base frame is provided at a back side of a cushion pad to support the cushion pad, and an outer covering is configured to cover a front side of the cushion pad and fixed to the base frame. The outer covering includes a first portion. A receptacle hole is provided at the front side of a cushion pad. An actuator is configured to move the first portion to a first position in which part of the first portion is located inside the receptacle hole, and to a second position farther away from the base frame than the first position. An elastic member is provided in the receptacle hole, connected to the part of the first portion, and configured to bias the first portion toward the base frame.

Abstract: Provided is a vertical pulverizing apparatus capable of suppressing abrasion of throat vanes (40) and elongating their abrasion resistant lives to thereby increase working efficiency. The vertical pulverizing apparatus is characterized in that: a throat (4) is provided between a housing (32) and a pulverizing table (2) and has an annular flow channel which is surrounded by a throat inner peripheral wall (41) and a throat outer peripheral wall (42) and which is partitioned by a large number of throat vanes (40); and a slope part (43a, 43b) extending diagonally downward from an inner peripheral wall surface of the housing (32) toward a top end of the throat outer peripheral wall (42) and a horizontal part (44) extending from a bottom end of the slope part (43b) continuously to the top end of the throat outer peripheral wall (42) are provided so that top end surfaces (40a) of the throat vanes (40) and a top surface of the horizontal part (44) can be set at the same height.
