Abstract
Among the connectors between the cartridge and the gas consumption device, one of the connectors has a plurality of positioning teeth protruding from the outer circumferential surface formed at intervals in the circumferential direction around the axis. A plurality of positioning grooves having groove widths corresponding to circumferential tooth widths of the positioning teeth are formed at intervals in the circumferential direction of the inner peripheral surface of the other connector. The inner peripheral surface of the other connector is further formed with a rotation groove in which the positioning teeth that have passed through the positioning groove rotate around the axis. A stopper is formed in the rotation groove to which one positioning tooth comes into contact so as to limit rotation of the cartridge at a predetermined rotation angle.
