Abstract
The present invention provides a heating apparatus for effectively heating a gas container, and more particularly a liquified gas filled in the gas container. The heating apparatus comprises a mounting base having a first space and a second space, each formed in its inside, and an air fan heater for supplying heated air to the first space of said mounting base. In said mounting base, a first through hole communicating with said first space and second through holes communicating with said second space are formed inside of a mounting area, and third through holes communicating with said second space are formed outside of said mounting area. When a gas container is mounted on the mounting base, the heated air is blasted from said first space onto the bottom face of said gas container through said first through hole, whereby heat is effectively transmitted from the bottom face of the gas container to the liquified gas contents of the gas container.
