Vehicle pop-up hood apparatus

A vehicle pop-up hood apparatus, comprising:

• a hood that closes an opening part at an outer part of a vehicle body;
• a hood lock mechanism that fixes a substantially middle part in a vehicle width direction of the hood to the vehicle body;
• a support mechanism having a movable block that supports the hood lock mechanism and a base block that is fixed to the vehicle body and that supports the movable block such that the movable block is movable upward and downward;
• an actuator that displaces the movable block upward in a case where a predetermined condition is satisfied;
• and
• a pair of auxiliary support parts that support side edge parts on both sides in the vehicle width direction of the hood from below when the hood is displaced upward by an operation of the actuator,
• wherein each of the auxiliary support parts comprises:
• a load reception block that is capable of supporting the side edge part of the hood from below;
• a biasing member that biases the load reception block upward;
• and
• a displacement regulation member that regulates an upward displacement from an initial position of the load reception block against a biasing force of the biasing member, and
• the movable block and the displacement regulation member are interlocked by an interlock part that displaces the displacement regulation member in a regulation release direction in response to an upward displacement of the movable block by the actuator.
