A vehicle hood hinge includes: a lower hinge configured to be fixed to a vehicle body; an upper hinge configured to be fixed to, and supported by, a hood so as to be movable relative to the lower hinge, the hood being configured to open or close an opening formed in an upper surface of the vehicle body; a link mechanism linking the lower hinge with the upper hinge; and a load receiving member configured to support a load of the hood, wherein the link mechanism is configured to switch between pivoting to cause the hood to be pivoted about an axis through the lower hinge and lifting to lift the hood, and the load receiving member is configured to receive, on a front-rear side thereof, the load of the hood lifted through the lifting, to restrict the hood from lowering.

Provided is a vehicle latch device including a latch body capable of being lifted up in a state of latching a striker provided to a hood of a vehicle; a position holder that holds a position of the latch body on a vehicle body side during a normal time; and an actuator that is interposed between the latch body and the position holder and lifts up the latch body at a time of pop-up. On the position holder, a striker releaser is disposed which releases a latched state of the striker latched by a latch of a latch mechanism provided to the latch body.

A hinge for a vehicle hood is provided. The hinge includes a hinge lower fixed to a vehicle body, and a hinge upper fixed to the hood and rotatably supported relative to the hinge lower. The hinge upper includes a first member rotatably supported relative to the hinge lower, and a second member fixed to the hood and relatively movable relative to the first member. The hinge further includes a first lock configured to be engageable with the first member to restrict rotation of the first member relative to the hinge lower. The first member and the second member are integrally rotatable relative to the hinge lower in a normal operation of opening and closing the hood. When the hood is caused to pop up, the first lock engages with the first member and the second member is relatively movable relative to the first member.

An abrasive grain-milling unit and a friction grain-milling unit are located on upper and lower portions of a pedestal, respectively. The friction grain-milling unit includes a grain feed trough to which a milled grain discharge trough of the abrasive grain milling unit is connected. A two-way grain feed trough and change-over valve is located above the abrasive grain-milling unit and is capable of selectively feeding grains either directly to the friction grain-milling unit or to the friction grain-milling unit via the abrasive grain-milling unit.
