Abstract: A grille shutter is fixed to a radiator grille at end portions of the grille shutter in the vehicle right-left direction. A restriction mechanism includes a restriction member provided to the radiator grille and a restriction member abutting portion provided to an intermediate portion of the grille shutter in the vehicle right-left direction. The restriction mechanism restricts the intermediate portion of the grille shutter from moving toward the vehicle rear side relative to the radiator grille. The restriction member is configured to be movable toward the vehicle rear side relative to the restriction member abutting portion.

Abstract: A method for producing an aluminum bar includes at least one machining step in which an aluminum bar-shaped work is machined while supplying a machining fluid containing oil to produce a machined aluminum bar-work, and a cleaning step in which the machined aluminum bar-shaped work is cleaned using a cleaning fluid to produce a cleaned machined aluminum bar-shaped work. The cleaning step is performed so that the oil contained in the machining fluid remains on a surface of the cleaned machined aluminum bar-shaped work in a range of 5 ?g/cm2 to 20 ?g/cm2.

Abstract: A production method of an aluminum bar includes a surface pressing step of pressing a surface of an aluminum bar with pressure rollers. A pressing force of the pressure rollers in the surface processing step is set within a range of 1.5 Fc to 4.0 Fc, where, in a relationship between a pressing force of the pressure rollers to the aluminum bar and a straightness of the aluminum bar, when a boundary point at which a section where the straightness of the aluminum bar improves as the pressing force of the pressure rollers increases shifts to a section where the straightness does not change as the pressing force of the pressure rollers increases is a straightness saturation point, and the pressing force of the pressure rollers at the straightness saturation point is “Fc”.

Abstract: Frozen instant cooking noodles having a cross-sectional void space percent of 40 to 80% which are capable of uniformly thawing by heat in a very short time to provide a fully cooked noodles having good texture for eating are produced by subjecting noodles to .alpha. conversion so as to control a yield of the noodles within the range of 200 to 280%, quickly cooling the .alpha. converted noodles in cold water at 0.degree. to 5.degree. C., arranging individual strings of the noodle at random to form a noodle lump and freezing the lump.
