Abstract: A vehicle seat includes a seat cushion having an upward and downward movement mechanism configured to adjust a position of the seat cushion in a range between an upper most position and a lower most position in a seat vertical direction; and a shielding member configured to bend, and shielding a lower side of the seat cushion. The shielding member includes: an upper section disposed at a lower surface side of the seat cushion; a middle section disposed at a lower side of the upper section, provided with an inducing portion serving as a trigger for bending of the shielding member, and being configured to follow a movement, in the seat vertical direction, of the seat cushion by changing a bending angle at a bending start point portion that is bent by the inducing portion; and a lower section disposed at a lower side of the middle section.

Abstract: In a cushion skin, left and right side surface skin front portions are fixed to a cushion frame of the seat cushion. The left and right side surface skin rear portions are respectively connected to the left and right side surface skin front portions, and each have a lower extending portion extending downward of the rear portion of the cushion pad. The connecting portion is disposed at the lower side of the rear portion of the cushion pad, and connects the distal end portions of each lower extending portion of the left and right side surface skin rear portions in the seat left-right direction. In each lower extending portion, a front side in the seat front-rear direction expands wider outward in the seat left-right direction than a rear side.

Abstract: A furnace in the invention includes an induction melting furnace housed in an air-tight container which can be pressurized to the desired level of maximum allowable pressure and can be vacuum evacuated to a desired level of pressure; a vacuum melting furnace cover having a vacuum evacuating pipe; and a pressure pouring furnace cover, which has a pressure piping to impress the pouring pressure controlled by a pouring pressure control device onto the inside of the furnace and has a pouring siphon, which has its lower end opened to the bottom part within the induction melting furnace and has its upper end connected to a pouring chamber having a pouring nozzle, penetrated therethrough.
