A storage box includes a wall including: a packaging member; and a heat transfer body and a cold storage agent that are stored in the packaging member. The cold storage agent is disposed closer to an outer surface of the storage box than the heat transfer body is. Consequently, a chill from the cold storage agent spreads over the heat transfer body, and the chill is transferred to an inside of the storage box through the heat transfer body. Thus, a temperature can be more homogeneously maintained in the storage box.

Storage box

A thermally insulated container includes a container main body having a storage section and an opening, a lid body that covers the opening of the container main body, and an inner box stored in the storage section. The lid body has a convex portion arranged along a periphery of the opening of the container main body and protruding toward an inside of the storage section when the lid body covers the opening. The convex portion faces the inner box, with a gap between the convex portion and the inner box when the lid body covers the opening.

A catalytic combustion apparatus comprises a combustor , a fuel tank , a valve , and an ignition device . The combustor further comprises a gas nozzle , an air intake/ejector , a mixing chamber , a firing chamber , an ignition plug , a combustion chamber , a catalyst for combustion housed inside the combustion chamber , and an exhaust port . The mixing chamber is made into a straight cylindrical passage, a cylindrical firing chamber is provided in parallel to the mixing chamber so that an opening on the side of the firing chamber communicates with the combustion chamber , a burner port is disposed on the boundary between the mixing chamber and the firing chamber , and the burner is configured with a catalytic net . With this configuration, a flame is formed on the upstream side of the catalyst for combustion , the catalyst for combustion is heated by the heat of the flame to a catalytic combustion enabling temperature thus also effecting catalytic combustion on the catalytic net . The flame spontaneously disappears, and the catalyst for combustion commences catalytic combustion. As catalytic combustion can be effected without fail even when the combustion chamber is configured into a low profile, the thickness of the catalytic body can be reduced without reducing the combustion characteristics, thereby enabling reduction in the height of the burner and providing a downsized and thin catalytic combustion apparatus.

Catalyst combustion device

A catalytic combustion heating device 3 for generating heat by oxidation reaction of fuel gas stored in a fuel tank 24 and air in a combustion unit 29 is installed in a mount 4 provided in a jacket 1. The mount 4 is fastened to the waist of the body wearing the jacket 1 by a holding band 9, and the load applied on the shoulders through the jacket is lessened and comfort is improved. Thus, a warming jacket capable of warming the body comfortably is obtained.

Warming jacket

A delivery warmer comprises a catalytic combustion heat generating device, a container accommodating cooked food, and a container casing accommodating the container. In the catalytic combustion heat generating device, a fuel tank stores liquefied fuel gas. A nozzle section gasifies and injects the liquefied fuel gas. A combustion section introduces gas mixture of the gasified fuel gas and air, and causes a catalytic reaction for burning the gas mixture. An igniter ignites the gas mixture and commences the catalytic reaction. Thus, heat generated from the catalytic combustion heat device is used to warm the container accommodated in the container casing. The cooked food is kept warm and tasty for a long time.
