That is, the fuel gas is supplied to the nozzle 6
When ejected from the ejector section 6a and passes through the ejector section 6a, it is mixed with the air sucked from the intake port 7 by the ejector effect in the mixing section 8 to become a combustible fuel gas. This combustible combustion gas is supplied to the combustion chamber 9. The combustion chamber 9 includes a catalyst body 10 made of a noble metal such as platinum, an ignition device 11, and an exhaust port 12. The ignition device 11 generates a spark by operating the operation unit 4,
The combustible combustion gas is ignited.

Further, the catalytic combustion heating section 3 is accommodated in a frame 15 provided between the outer cloth 13 and the inner cloth 14 of the glove 1.

Therefore, the fuel gas ejected from the nozzle 6 becomes a combustible gas mixed with the air in the mixing section 8 and is ignited in the combustion chamber 9. Therefore, a flame of the combustible gas is formed downstream of the catalyst body 10. The flame heats the catalyst body 10. Thus, the catalyst body 1
When the temperature of 0 rises and reaches the activation temperature of the catalyst body 10, the catalyst body 10 starts catalytic combustion. When entering the catalytic combustion, the flame is extinguished because all the combustible gas mixture is consumed in the catalytic combustion. By this catalytic combustion, the temperature of the outer periphery of the catalytic combustion heating unit 3 is controlled between 100 and 150 ° C. The heat generated by the catalytic combustion heating unit 3 is conducted from the exhaust passage 16 to each unit. The heat conductor 17 and the heat conduction plate 20 conduct heat as a whole.
