A retractable vehicle seat in which a seat main body disposed on a vehicle floor is flipped up laterally, so as to be retracted in a vehicle interior side wall of which the upper portion is inwardly inclined, may include a connection mechanism that is configured to rotatably connect the seat main body to a support stand. The connection mechanism includes a four-link mechanism having a stationary link integral with the support stand, an intermediate link integral with the seat main body, and a first link and a second link that connect these two links. The second link is configured to increase an angle between the first link and the intermediate link as the seat main body is flipped up.

A gear change control system of an automatic transmission, includes: a shift member, including a shaft portion having a selection axis oriented in a selecting direction, and a pair of arm portions formed on the shaft portion and projecting therefrom; shift rail members, having rail shaft portions, and having a shift axis oriented in a shifting direction; shift fork portions, formed on the rail shaft portions; shift lug members, formed on the rail shaft portions and including pillar-shaped portions. The arm portions swing about the selection axis to apply a pressure in the shifting direction from one side of the pillar-shaped portion by one of the arm portions to cause the shift fork portion to make a shifting operation, and to apply a pressure in the shifting direction from the other side of the pillar-shaped portion by the other arm portion to make a shift withdrawing operation.

Gear change control system of automatic transmission

A gear change control system of an automatic transmission, include: a shift member, including a shaft portion which is disposed in such a manner that a selection axis thereof is oriented in a selecting direction and including an arm portion; shift fork portions, operable to make gear shifts of gears; shift rail members, connected to the sift fork portions and arranged in such a manner that shift axes thereof are oriented in a shifting direction; and shift lug members, projecting from the shift rail members and including pillar-shaped portions. The arm portion swings about the selection axis to apply a pressure in the shifting direction from one side of the pillar-shaped portion so as to cause the shift fork portion to perform a shift making operation, and to apply a pressure in the shifting direction from the other side of the pillar-shaped portion so as to cause the shift fork portion to perform a shift withdrawing operation.

An apparatus for filtering a liquid, includes supplying a starting liquid from a container to a passage of a pipe-like filter set in a filter casing, passing the starting liquid through the passage of the filter thereby to produce the filtrate, sending back the unfiltered liquid to the container, and back washing the filter by means of a hydraulic pressure device having a piston movable in a cylinder in such a manner that the filtrate is moved by the piston of the hydraulic device.

A process for gas dissolution which uses a vessel, a portion wall made of ceramic material for dividing the vessel into a first chamber and a second chamber, a first inlet of the vessel for introducing a liquid into the first chamber, a second inlet of the vessel for introducing a pressurized gas into the second chamber, and a discharge port of the vessel for discharging the liquid from the first chamber.
