As shown in FIG. 3, when the first lid portion 44 is attached to the main body 43 and the second lid portion 57 is closed as shown by the solid line, the sleeve 68 comes into contact with the seal member 62 and stops. There is. Therefore, the inner 60 and the outer A2 are blocked by the second lid portion 57.

The heat of the hot water C1 is transferred to the air in the accommodation chamber 51 via the inner cylinder portion 46 and the sub-bottom portion 48. The air in the containment chamber 51 rises toward the inside 60 as the temperature rises. In the present embodiment, the wet tissue 65 is provided in the range (area) where the heating body accommodating portion 42 is provided and in the accommodating chamber 51 in the vertical direction of the main body 43, specifically, the height direction of the main body 43.

For example, a disposable body warmer or a microwave oven body warmer can be used as one that generates heat without supplying electric power. A disposable body warmer is a non-woven fabric bag or a paper bag containing iron powder that oxidizes and generates heat in the air. A microwave oven body warmer is a body warmer in which a gel-like heat insulating material is enclosed in a container and heated in a microwave oven when used. Further, the shape of the container 11 when viewed in a plan view may be a substantially circular shape, a substantially elliptical shape, or the like, instead of the substantially quadrangular shape. Further, when the power source for supplying electric power to the electric heating coil is a DC power source, the DC power source can be provided in the container 11 or can be detachably provided to the container 11. The DC power source may be either a secondary battery or a primary battery.
