A bread baking machine of the invention has a gasket for sealing and a magnetic metal fitting A constituting a locking means, both provided on a container cover which opens and closes an opening above a lid container placed in an outer cover for storing supplementary ingredient of bread and for entering it automatically. The bread baking machine can thus lock the lid container and the container cover while keeping the gasket depressed against a sealing surface. Since this structure ensures the gasket to seal a space between the lid container and the container cover, it can prevent dew condensation and thermal deformation of components due to leakage of hot steam.

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.

A vertical-type clothes press, in which clothes such as pants or the like held between a fixed board and a movable board can be pressed for smoothing or creasing, includes a mount base, a fixed board vertically mounted thereon and having a heater, a movable board having a hollow structure for hot-pressing clothes held between itself and the fixed board, a hinge mechanism which rotatably connects the lower ends of the fixed board and the movable board and mounts the movable board openably and closably on the fixed board opposite to each other, a lock mechanism for holding the movable board against the fixed board, a press sheet having one end attached to the connection between the fixed board and the movable board and rotatably provided between the movable board and the fixed board, reinforcements provided along the side end faces of the press sheet in a vertical direction, and a bias device provided on the opposite side of the hinge mechanism for pulling clothes or the like held between the fixed board and the movable board in a direction away from the hinge mechanism. A shift of the centroid becomes small when the movable board is open. Thus, the fixed board can be stably installed in a vertical direction, and a shift in position for the clothes to be pressed is prevented. Further, an operation for putting the clothes in order becomes easy and the clothes are equally smoothed and pressed.
