Further, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 156301/1983 discloses a metal hydride device in which spiral fins are disposed within a tubular metal hydride holding cylinder. From the viewpoint of forming and processing the spiral fins, it is difficult to expect complete contact between the outer periphery of the fins and the inner surface of the metal hydride holding outer tube. Therefore, these spiral fins cannot transfer the heat flow from the wall surface of the metal hydride holding outer tube to the metal hydride by direct heat conduction.
