Abstract
A charging structure of a combustible gas and an oxidizer gas includes a container for containing the combustible and oxidizer gases therein. The container has a charging port for charging the combustible and oxidizer gases. The charging structure also includes a sealing member for sealing the charging port and a separating member for substantially separating the combustible gas and the oxidizer gas at least in the vicinity of the charging port during a predetermined time period beginning, from a time point after charging of the combustible and oxidizer gases into the container through the charging port to a time point when the charging port is sealed by the sealing member. The separating member defines a flow path such that the combustible gas and the oxidizer gas are not substantially mixed therein during the predetermined time period in such a case where one of the combustible and oxidizer gases is first charged and thereafter the other of the combustible and oxidizer gases is charged.
