A warming article having a heat generating main body (). The heat generating main body () is composed of a heat generating element () having water vapor generating capability and an air permeable holder () for holding the heat generating element (). The heat generating main body () is configured to expand with heat generation of the heat generating element (). The amount of water vapor generated from the warming article is preferably 1.0 to 100 mg/(cm&#xb7;10 min). The holder () preferably has a water vapor permeability of 1.5 to 10 kg/(m&#xb7;24 hr). The heat generating element () is preferably a sheet molded by papermaking and containing an oxidizable metal, a moisture-retaining agent, and a fibrous material.

Warming tool

A warming device consisting essentially of a heat generating main body comprising a heat generating element and an air-permeable holding member having the heat generating element enclosed therein. The warming device has a receiving part for receiving a part of a body being inserted. The heat generating element comprises a sheet which contains an oxidizable metal, a moisture-retaining agent, and a fibrous material and is prepared by papermaking.

Warming device

A heat-generative, steam generation facial sheet that is planar and is adapted to cover a part or the whole of a wearer's face in intimate contact. It has a planar heat generator capable of generating steam upon contact with oxygen in such a manner that the skin surface temperature reaches 34&#xb0; C. or higher within 120 seconds from the contact with air and the skin surface temperature is maintained at 34&#xb0; C. or higher for at least 5 minutes.

Heat-generative, steam generation sheet for face

A heater comprises a cap formed by joining and fixing together curved peripheries as peripheries of two semi-elliptical heat-generator-containing sheets of generally the same shape. The heat-generator-containing sheet comprises a waterproof inner layer sheet an air-permeable sheet disposed so as to cover the entire surface of the inner layer sheet and a plurality of heat generators interposed between and held by the inner layer sheet and the air-permeable sheet which generate heat when in contact with an air. The heat generators are disposed substantially over the entire surface of the cap The heat-generator-containing sheets are joined and fixed together with the respective inner layer sheets being the inner surface. The heater realizes a simple handling when in use, a small temperature variation, and simple fabrication process.
