Abstract: A seating apparatus for a vehicle, in which a seat cushion supported on the vehicle body by a link member can be flipped up toward the front of the vehicle from a use position and which includes a locking mechanism that operates only when the seat cushion is acted upon by an inertial force greater than a predetermined force in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, to temporarily prevent the seat cushion from flipping up. The locking mechanism includes a locking plate supported on the seat cushion and rockable in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle between a normal position and a rocked position, and a spring for urging the locking plate toward the normal position. The locking plate locks the seat cushion to the link member when it is moved inertially to the rocked position against the force of the spring, to prevent the seat cushion from flipping up, and the locking plate unlocks the seat cushion when it is located in the normal position.

Abstract: In a slide type circular saw, slide bars extending parallel to each other in a front-rear direction are slidably supported by bearing parts provided in first and second holding portions. The bearing part included in the first holding portion is press-fitted therein, while the bearing part included in the second holding portion is loosely inserted therein, and the second holding portion includes a pressing member which is configured to press the bearing part of the second holding portion against an inner surface of the second holding portion in a direction perpendicular to a plane which contains axes of the slide bars.

Abstract: A guard member for a rotary blade of a tabletop cutting machine is attached with a fixing device. The fixing device may be loosened, for example, during a maintenance operation. The fixing device can be prevented from falling out of the table cutting machine through the use of a fall-out preventing device.

Abstract: The heat conductivity of an aluminum composite material containing a fibrous carbon material is enhanced. In order to realize this, a spark plasma sintered body having a fibrous carbon material compounded in a metal matrix powder of aluminum or the like is fabricated. At the time of fabrication, an aluminum powder serving as a matrix mother material is compounded with an Al alloy powder such as an Al-12Si powder having a melting point lower than the sintering temperature of the mother material. During the process of sintering the aluminum powder, the Al alloy powder is melted, whereby the heat conductivity between the aluminum powder particles and between the aluminum powder particle and the fibrous carbon material is improved.

In order to realize this, a fibrous carbon material made of fine tube form structures constituted with single-layer or multiple-layer graphene is present to form a plurality of layers within a substrate made from a spark plasma sintered body of a metal powder, a mixed powder of a metal and ceramics, or a ceramic powder. The fibrous carbon material constituting each layer is made of a mixture obtained by mixing a small amount of a small diameter fiber 2 having an average diameter of 100 nm or less with a large diameter fiber 1 having an average diameter of 500 nm to 100 ?m.

Abstract: A device for mounting a cover of a cutting blade to a riving knife may have an engaging member for releasably engaging at least a part of the riving knife from both sides, in a direction of thickness of the riving knife. The engaging member is manually operable without any additional tools. A device for mounting a riving knife to a table saw may include a manually operable lock member and a biasing member.
