Abstract

The heating garment includes a heat source provided inside the garment and a heat conduction path for transferring the air heated by the heat source from the heat source to the upper side along the back of the garment. By doing this, not only can a portable, light and compact combustor be provided, but the use of this combustor is effective to heat the inside of the garment while fuel is supplied and the amount of heat supplied can be controlled, whereby the inside of the garment Provides a comfortable temperature environment. In addition, a heating suit is made that quickly warms up.

Description

Heating suit

As portable combustors, gas stoves and human warmers using petroleum fuel as energy sources are now widely used. Gas stoves are dangerous because they are open ignition systems and have low heating efficiency because most of the heat energy produced is released into the atmosphere. On the other hand, the human body warmer can not warm the vicinity of the user body.

Therefore, a heating cloth and a heating mat using an electrical battery and clothes or electrical resistance elements dispersed in a mat have been proposed. However, currently available electric batteries have a low energy density by weight and are unable to heat the heating garments and mats for a fairly long time. If the heating suit or mat needs to be heated for a fairly long time with sufficient calories, the battery becomes so bulky and too heavy that the battery can no longer be used as a portable.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 4-347450 (corresponding to U.S. Patent No. 5,282,740) discloses that a petroleum reactor having an energy density much higher than that provided by an electric battery heats a fluid such as water to an appropriate temperature. A heating garment is described that is catalytically burned to provide a temperature for circulating the garment.

As means for heating the inner side of the garment using the heat of combustion, a human body warmer of the kind using alcohol or charcoal and a disposable human warmer of the kind using a chemical reaction between the ferrous metal material and the oxidizing material can now be used. To date, baby stoves using cassettes filled with butane are known as combustors using fuel. Camping stoves are generally referred to as cordless devices because they are not wired and are also used as heat sources for cooking.

In any case, the prior art portable combustors have the problem of being heavy and bulky. Among these, a heating suit including a combustor that uses a fluid such as water as a thermal catalyst and is connected to a medium heated through tubing of a heat source has a problem of being heavy and elastic.

In addition, prior art human warmers have only been able to heat only a portion and not over a large area inside the garment. When a fuel such as alcohol or charcoal is to be filled, the human warmer is inconvenient to use, since the human warmer must be removed from the garment. If the human body warmer is disposable, the warmer is not only reusable, but also has an uncontrollable amount of heat while heating to the desired temperature.

Camping stoves are in the form of combustors integrated with fuel tanks and operating consoles and may not be used to heat the garment, even when installed inside the garment. In addition, since the operating console and the combustor are integrated together, not only is it impossible to control the combustor outside of the garment, but also the calorie control cannot be controlled while the user is wearing the garment.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to use a combustor of the type mentioned above to heat the garment over the entire area and to control the amount of fuel supplied and the amount of heat supplied to create a comfortable temperature distribution inside the garment. To provide a lighter, compact and portable combustor.

The present invention relates to a portable combustor and a heating suit using a combustor, which can be used in high seas and / or cold or at sea where supply of power and / or gas is nearly impossible.

[First Embodiment, FIGS. 1 to 5]

1 and 2, a first embodiment of the present invention is described. 1 and 2 show a heater-integrated portable mat comprising a heating sheet 1 and a heat generating element 4. The heating sheet 1 is formed of a thermally conductive fabric, which may be a woven fabric using aluminum-plated glass spinning, having a high thermal diffusion property, a fabric including carbon fibers, and a metal particle layer dispersed in an elastic resin binder. Or a fabric comprising synthetic spinning, a fabric made of metal fibers, or a woven fabric using metal fibers and fibers other than metal fibers. The heating sheet 1 has a surface after being joined with the insulating fabric 2. This insulating fabric 2 is made of a fiber material having high temperature insulating properties and also a fiber used as a heat insulating material. The heating sheet 1 has one end to which the heat generating element 4 is coupled. This connection is made using a connection screw 3 through which the heating member 1 is firmly sandwiched by the heat generating element 4 and supported by a tight contact. As the heat generating element 4, a gas catalyst combustor 17 including a combustion catalyst 13 and an ignition device 14 is used.

The gas catalyst combustor 17 has the following configuration. The fuel gas container 6 is provided with a gas discharge valve 7 which can be selectively opened and closed by the outlet handle 8, but which is normally biased by the spring 9 to the closed position. When the outlet knob 8 is manually operated to open, the hot fuel gas discharged from the fuel gas container 6 is injected from the fuel injection nozzle 10, and the air is sucked under the influence of the suction force generated by the flow of the injected fuel gas. It flows into the ejector 12 with the air sucked through the port 11.

The ejector 12 has a wall in which a plurality of injection ports 15 are formed, through which the gas mixture of fuel and air is supplied to the combustion catalyst 13. This ejector 12 is housed in a tubular protective housing 16 for protecting the combustion catalyst 13 and the ignition device 14 and the fl combustion catalyst 13.

The operation of the first embodiment of the present invention is described. When the ejector handle 8 is manually operated to open the gas discharge valve 7, fuel gas in the fuel gas container 6 is injected from the gas injection nozzle 10 and sucked through the air inlet port 11. Mixed with to form a combustible air-fuel mixture. At this time, when the ignition device 14 is activated, the air-fuel mixture starts flame combustion and instantly heats the combustion catalyst 13 to a temperature at which catalytic combustion starts. In this way, the heat released by catalytic combustion is uniformly radiated from the tubular protective housing 16 to heat the heat generating element 4. Since the heat generating element is supported in tight contact with the heating sheet 1, the heat released from the heat generating element 4 is reliably transferred to the heating sheet 1. In addition, since the heating sheet 1 is made of a thermally conductive fabric, the heat released from the heat generating element 4 can be efficiently transferred to the entire surface of the heating sheet 1. The heating sheet 1 has a thermally insulating fabric 2 of high temperature insulating properties bonded thereto, so that the amount of heat leaking from the rear of the heating sheet 1 is extremely small.

Thus, the heating sheet 1 can be heated as a whole to be maintained at an appropriate temperature and used as a heating mat. It is to be noted that since this heating mat has a high elasticity, it can be used, for example, to surround the human body.

If the heating sheet 1 is used as part of the garment, as shown in FIG. 3, a heating garment can be made and this heating garment can be made of highland and / or cold or power supply and / or supply of gas. It can be used in seas that can hardly be achieved.

This embodiment of the present invention is a very simple, light and resilient portable heater compared to the prior art structure in which a liquid medium such as water is used to heat the member to be heated, which is joined to the heating source by tubing. Provides an integrated mat

However, as shown in FIG. 4, if the heat generating element 4 is connected to a part of the heating sheet 1 through a heat conductive compound 18 such as a heat conductive compound or heat-grease, increased heat Heater-integrated mats can be obtained that can show efficiency. In other words, heat transfer between the heat generating element 4 and the heating sheet 1 is made efficient, so that the heat released by the heat generating element 4 can be reliably transferred to the heating sheet 1. In such a case, fuel consumption is reduced so that the heater-integrated mat can be used for heating for increased time lengths.

Optionally, a plurality of protrusions 20 are formed on at least one of the mating surfaces of the heat generating element 2 and the heating sheet 1, for example, on the surface of the heat generating element 4 supported in contact with the heating sheet 1. And if the thermally conductive fabric is sandwiched between the plurality of protrusions and twisted around the protrusions 20, the contact surface area between the heat generating element 4 and the heating sheet 1 can be increased, and thus the heat generating element ( The heat of 4) can be efficiently transferred to the heating sheet 1.

[Example 2-FIGS. 6 to 8]

A heater-integrated mat according to a second embodiment of the invention is described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7. The support base 21 for the heat generating element is made of a high thermal conductivity metal such as aluminum or copper and a part of the heating sheet 1 is fixed to the support base in the form of being pinched by the connecting screw 3. The heat generating element 4 is fixed to the support base by a fixing screw 22.

The heater-integrated mat according to the second embodiment of the present invention functions substantially in the same way as the heater-integrated mat according to the embodiment. However, in the second embodiment of the present invention, since the heating sheet 1 is partially fixed to the support base 21 by the connecting screw 3, the heat from the heat generating element 4 depends on the combustion result. Heat released from the uniformly heated tubular protective housing 16 can be transferred to the heating sheet 1 accurately. In addition, the heating sheet 1 is made of a thermally conductive fabric, and as shown in FIG. 7, an insulating fabric 2, such as a fiber, is fixed to the rear surface of the heating sheet 1.

For this reason, the heater-integrated mat according to this embodiment is portable, light and resilient as is the case with the heater-integrated mat according to the rigid embodiment.

According to this embodiment of the present invention, since the heat generating element 4 is supported on the support base 21, the heat generating element 4 can be easily separated so that the heater-integrated mat can be easily repaired.

Referring to FIG. 7, if the mating surface of the formation element 4 and the support base 21 is mirror-polished as indicated by 23, there is no gap between the heat generation element 4 and the support base 21. The contact is improved, and a heating apparatus can be achieved with further improved thermal efficiency.

In any of the first and second embodiments of the present invention, the heat generating element 4 is wound around the heat generating element 4 by the adjacent end of the heating sheet 1 as shown in FIG. It may have a structure. In such a case, the heat released from the heat generating element is hardly released to the outside, so that the total amount of heat can be transferred to the heating sheet 1 substantially, resulting in a heater-integrated mat of significantly high thermal efficiency.

[Example 3-FIGS. 9 and 10]

Referring to FIG. 9 showing a third embodiment of the present invention, reference numeral 25 denotes a heating sheet for warming a human body, which is made of a high thermal conductive thermal conductive material such as metallic foil, metallic net or thermally conductive fabric. Indicates. Thermally conductive fabrics are, for example, natural or synthetic spinning formed from layers of woven fabrics using aluminum-plated glass spinning with high diffusivity, woven fabrics containing carbon fibers, and metallic particles dispersed in a plate-like resin binder. It may be a woven fabric comprising a woven fabric, a woven fabric made of metal fibers or woven fabric using a fiber other than metal fibers and metal fibers. A portion of the heating sheet 25 is coupled with the heat generating element 27 of the combustor 26.

The combustor 26 has the following structure. The fuel gas plug 28 is provided with a gas discharge valve 30 that can be selectively opened and closed by the outlet handle 29. Fuel gas discharged from the fuel gas container 28 in accordance with the operation result of the handle 29 is injected from the fuel injection nozzle 7, the air inlet port (by the influence of the suction force generated by the flow of the injected fuel gas) It flows into the ejector 12 with the air sucked through 32).

Reference numeral 34 denotes a discharge port through which the air-fuel mixture is discharged. Reference numeral 35 denotes an ignition needle for providing a spark when the ignition device 36 is started.

As shown in FIG. 10, the heat insulating layers 37a and 37b are fixed to each opposite surface of the heating sheet 25 to cover all surfaces of the heating sheet. In particular, the heat insulation layer 37b also wraps the heat generating element 27. The heat insulating layers 37a and 37b serve to suppress heat radiation from the heat generating element 27 and the heating sheet 25 so that heat can be efficiently transferred from the heat generating element 27 to the heating sheet 25. do.

The operation of the third embodiment of the invention is set up. When the ejector handle 29 as shown in FIG. 9 is operated to open the gas discharge valve 30, fuel gas in the fuel gas container 28 is injected from the gas injection nozzle 31. As shown in FIG.

This gas flows in the discharger 33 with the air sucked through the air inlet port 32 to provide a combustible air-fuel mixture that is to be injected through the discharge port 34. During this state, when the ignition device 36 is activated, sparks are released from the ignition needle 35 to ignite the air-fuel mixture, causing subsequent combustion. Since the heat generating element 27 is provided in a part of the heating kit 1, the heat released from the heat generating element 27 is transferred to the heating sheet 1. Since the heating sheet 25 is made of a thermoelectric material and covered with a heat insulating material 37 as shown in FIG. 12, heat from the heat generating element is efficiently transferred to the entire surface of the heating sheet 25. Can be.

The third embodiment of the present invention is very simple, lightweight and resilient, as compared to the prior art structure in which a liquid such as water is used to heat the member to be heated, which is heat source coupled to the tubing. Provide a heater-integrated mat.

[Example 4-FIG. 11]

11 illustrates a fourth embodiment of the present invention. According to this embodiment, the heater-integrated mat described with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10 with respect to the third embodiment of the present invention was used to provide a heater-integrated garment, such as clothes. In order to use the heater-integrated mat in the clothes 38, a loose connector 39 is provided on the heating sheet 25, through which the heater-integrated mat is part of the inner side of the clothes 38. It can be detachably fixed to. The relaxed connector 39 may be used in the form of a flat fastener, a standard fastener or a zipper or button.

In the following, a fourth embodiment of the present invention is described. Similar to the operation described in connection with the third embodiment of the present invention, the fuel gas in the fuel gas container 28 is mixed with air to combust to heat the heat generating element 27, and from the heat generating element 27. The final heat is urineically transferred to the heating sheet 1 as a whole by the heat conductive material. Since the combustor is provided inside the garment 38 to heat the interior space of the garment 38, the person wearing the garment in the hanji can feel the warmed up warmly. In addition, since the combustor is provided with a relaxed connector 39 so that the heater-integrated mat can be removed from the garment 38 as needed, the heating sheet 25 can be used when the ambient temperature is not very low or when the garment wearer It can be detached from the garment 38 when it does not require heat by exercising.

As described above, the fourth embodiment of the present invention is effective to provide an easy-to-use heater-integrated garment in which the heating sheet 25 can be removed when needed.

In particular, in the fourth embodiment of the present invention in which the heat insulating layer is on the opposite surface of the present heating sheet 25, the heat insulating layer 37b is positioned to face the garment and also to face the body of the wearer. It has higher heat insulating properties. This can be done by making the heat insulating layer 37b from a fiber material having higher heat insulating properties than the heat insulating layer 37a or by making the heat insulating layer 37b thicker than the heat insulating layer 37a. Therefore, the difference between the heat insulating properties between the heat insulating layers 37a and 37b facing the body of the wearer and the wearer, that is, the heat insulating layer 37b facing the wearer has a higher heat insulating property than that of the heat insulating layer 37a facing the wearer's body. In this way, the heat of the heating sheet 25 is prevented from being released into the atmosphere, and on the other hand, the heat of the heating sheet 25 can be concentrated on the wearer's body so that the wearer can be efficiently heated.

As described above, the fourth embodiment of the present invention is efficient to provide a heater-integrated garment which can exhibit improved heating efficiency, in which the temperature of the heating sheet 25 is uniformly dispersed and The high heat radiation is directed at the wearer's body rather than the outside of the garment.

[Example 5-FIG. 12]

In the fifth embodiment of the present invention, the combustor used in any of the first to fourth embodiments of the present invention provides a catalyst by providing a combustion catalyst 42 to the combustor at a position adjacent to the discharge port 34 of the combustor. It is designed to function as the combustor 43. Except for this difference, i.e., except for the use of the combustor catalyst 42, the combustor used in the fifth embodiment is substantially similar to that used in any of the above embodiments, and thus detailed description is omitted.

The operation of the fifth embodiment of the present invention is described. When the outlet handle 29 is operated to open the gas discharge valve 30, the fuel gas in the fuel gas container 28 is injected from the gas injection nozzle 31. This gas flows in the discharger 33 with the air sucked through the air inlet port 32 to produce a combustible air-fuel mixture that is to be injected through the discharge port 34. In this state, when the ignition device 36 is operated, the spark is released from the ignition needle 35 to ignite the air-fuel mixture, which causes flame combustion later. By this flame combustion, the combustor catalyst 42 is instantaneously heated to the temperature necessary for achieving catalytic combustion. In this method, the catalytic combustion heats the heat generating element 27. Since the heat generating element 27 is provided in a part of the heating sheet 25, heat from the heat generating element 27 is transferred to the heating sheet 25. Therefore, considering that the heating sheet 25 is made of a thermally conductive material, heat from the heat generating element 27 can be efficiently transferred to the entire heating sheet 25.

In this fifth embodiment, since the combustion catalyst 42 is provided in the combustor, normal combustion occurs regardless of the direction in which the combustor is installed. In addition, the temperature at which catalytic combustion occurs is lower than the temperature at which flame combustion occurs, and thus the fifth embodiment of the present invention is particularly suitable as a heater used around the human body.

As described above, this fifth embodiment provides a heater-integrated mat suitable and non-directional for warming the human body.

A variant of the fifth embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. 13, in which a temperature sensor 44 is installed in a part of the heating sheet 25 of the heater-integrated mat described with reference to FIG. On the other hand, a control valve 45 for regulating the flow of fuel gas and a controller 46 for controlling the control valve 45 are provided in the combustor 26 or the catalytic combustion chamber 43.

Although, in the above embodiment of the present invention, the combustor has been described as being used in the form of a heater-integrated mat, it can be used as a heater to maintain a defined temperature, or acting simultaneously as a heater or a heater. It can be designed to be.

[Sixth Example-FIGS. 14-17]

Heater-integrated garments are shown in FIG. The combustor used for the heater-integrated garment is provided in the heat source unit 50 using the combustor heat as the heat source, the control unit 51 and the control unit 51 for controlling the combustor heat generated by the heat source unit 50. An operating unit 52 for transmitting a command, such as temperature setting, a command for controlling combustion occurring in the heat source unit 50, and a fuel container 53 for receiving a fuel amount for the heat source unit 50. do. The heat source unit 50 is separated from any one of the control unit 51, the operating unit 52, and the fuel container 53, and is mounted on the garment 54. The heat source unit 500 is fixed to a heat radiating member 57 which is loosely fixed to the inner surface of the garment 54. The heat source unit 50 is controlled by the elastic tubing 56, the operating unit 51, the operating unit ( 52 and the fuel container 53. The heat source unit 50 also receives an air inlet port 63 and an outlet port 64.

Clothing side detection means 55 for detecting temperature, wet soil, and the like is provided inside the garment 54, and temperature information and the like detected by the garment side detection means 55 are supplied to the control unit 51 through the signal line. Is sent.

Details of the heat source unit 50 are shown in FIG. The fuel supplied from the fuel container 53 through the tubing 56 is injected from the fuel nozzle 57. The fuel so injected is mixed with the combustion air 58 sucked through the fuel inlet port 63 to form an air-fuel mixture which is to be combusted in the combustion unit 59. An igniter 60 protruding into the combustion unit 59 ignites the air-fuel mixture in the combustion unit 59. Reference numeral 61 denotes an emission port of the combustion chamber, through which the emission gas generated as a result of combustion is led to the discharge port 64. As shown in FIG. 15, the outer wall 62 of the combustion unit 59 fixed to and thermally coupled to the heat generating member 57 and the air thinned by the heat generating member 57 are provided with the garment 54. Convection flows through me. Although heat flows into the garment 54 to some extent by natural convection, the circulation of the heated air by the fan is more effective to achieve heating. The power source for the igniter 60 and the fan is at least one battery.

16 shows a cross section of the elastic tubing 56. Heteroelastic tubing 56 has a full lumen 65 and an actuating lumen 66. The fuel lumen 65 is used for the flow of fuel in gaseous state. The actuating lumens 66 are used to receive wires for ignition purposes or wires for control purposes, but if both wires are used for actuating lumens 66, both are sufficiently insulated from each other using insulating rubber. Should be.

17 (a) and 17 (b) show the cross-sections of the heat source unit 50 and the garment 54 before and after installation, respectively. As shown in FIG. 17 (b), the heat source attachment tongue 69 is provided on one side of the heat source unit 50 adjacent to the garment 54, and the garment attachment member 68 is provided on the garment. When the mounting member 69 and the clothing mounting member 68 are matched or coupled with each other, the heat source unit 50 may be fixed to the clothing 54. Similar mounting elements may also be installed in the operating unit 52 and the fuel container 53. The garment mounting member is also drilled in a number of positions to support the operating unit 52 and / or the fuel container 53 so that the operating unit 52 and / or the fuel tank 53 may be moved by the wearer's hand for operation. It can be fixed or fixed in a location that is easy to receive.

When the operation unit 52 is operated to allow fuel to be supplied from the fuel container 53, the fuel is supplied to the heat source unit 50 through the tubing 56. The fuel may be butane or propane or mixtures thereof, and is contained in the fuel container 53 in a liquid state. While a small capacity fuel container 53 is preferred for transportation, if the considerable time needed for combustion is desired, the fuel tank 53 is selected to have a capacity of 14 grams butane.

The fuel supplied to the combustion unit 59 is in a gaseous state and the fuel injected from the fuel nozzle 57 forms a mixed minimum co-fuel mixture with the air 58 drawn through the air inlet port 63. The air-fuel mixture, when ignited, is combusted in combustion unit 59 to produce combustion heat. Most of the heat so produced is in contact with the outer wall 62 of the combustion unit, whereby heat exchange occurs, and the combustion gas so exchanged is cooled down and discharged through the exhaust port 64.

The fuel becomes liquid when stored and vaporizes when it comes out of the fuel container 4. The temperature decreases under the influence of heat of vaporization. As the temperature decreases, the speed of the fuel injected from the fuel nozzle 57 increases. However, when the fuel flows through the tubing 56, the temperature of the fuel increases due to the influence of the external heat of the tubing 56 and becomes a normal temperature in the fuel nozzle 57, so that the fuel is injected from the fuel nozzle 57. The speed is increased, so that the combustion air 58 can be sucked sufficiently efficiently.

Combustion air 58 is sucked through the air inlet port 63. If this air inlet port 63 is supported outside of the garment 54, fresh air can be sucked in.

The combustion gas is discharged through the discharge port 64 and for this reason, this discharge port 64 is installed outside the garment 54. If both the air inlet port 63 and the outlet port 64 are installed outside of the garment 54 and the wind strikes the garment 54, the wind also impinges on the ports 63 and 64 at the same speed. Thus, stable combustion is possible without being adversely affected by wind.

The heat exchanged in contact with the outer wall 62 of the combustion unit 59 is partially delivered to the heat radiating member 57. The thermal radiation member 57 is made of a high elastic material having high thermal conductivity, such as high thermal conductive fibers or metal fibers. In order to prevent the possibility that the heat so transferred is in direct contact with the wearer's body, the heat radiating member is covered with an insulating material such as fiber or insulating material. Part of the heat causes the outer wall 62 of the combustion unit 59 to heat up the air, causing the entire garment to warm upwards by natural convection in the garment 54. The amount of heat required for heating varies depending on the thermal insulation properties of the garment 54, the outside temperature and the type of person wearing the garment 54, and the calories can be almost 50 kca 1 / h. This corresponds to the calories emitted by living humans.

로 떨어지면 열량을 상당히 많이 필요해질 수 있다.However, this calorie may be low in early spring, but the outside temperature is -20.

Falling in can require a lot of calories.

Although natural convection causes heat to circulate within the garment 54, the circulation of the heated air by the fan is even more effective to achieve heating. The power source required for igniter 60 may be at least one battery.

If the heat source unit 50 is secured to a portion of the toe-talk 54 that stands on the wearer's back, the wearer may feel comfortable when the wearer warms up. In addition, the heat source is then fixed to a portion of the garment 54 which is aligned with the back of the wearer's waist (body's), creating a need to provide space between the garment and the wearer's body, thus allowing heat to circulate easily. Can be. On the other hand, if the operating unit 52 and the fuel volume 53 are fixed at the place where the wearer's hand can reach, not only the operation is easy but also the amount of remaining fuel can be easily known and the replenishment can be easily made. have. It is also advisable to accept the loafing unit 52 and the fuel container 53 in easy-to-receive positions, respectively, except in cases where residual fuel levels need to be identified and / or operated. . For this reason, the mounting unit 67 is provided in the operating unit 52 and the fuel containers 53. This snow element 67 is provided at a number of locations in the garment that can be considered convenient for accommodation and manipulation. Therefore, it can be easily understood that the heat source unit 50 is installed separately from the operating unit and the fuel container. In particular, if operation is required, the operating unit 52 and the fuel container 53 are installed inside the garment or in the garment bag, but if the storage is required, the operating unit and the fuel container are installed in the garment bag or outside the garment. Is installed. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of the utilization efficiency of heat, it is advantageous to install the heat source unit 50 inside the garment. Since each part of the operating unit 52 and the fuel container 53 changes, the tubing 56 must have elasticity.

Assuming that the hot win unit 50 is installed in the garment 54 and the user wearing the garment 54 walks or exercises, the heat source unit 50, the operating unit 52, the fuel container 53 and The garment side detecting means 55 is displaced at their initial positions. For this reason, tubing 56 should have elasticity and / or sufficient length. It must also be robust against bending. Since the fuel lumen 63 is used for the flow of butane, propane or mixtures thereof, a robust hose that is elastic and resistant to inertia is used for this. High voltages for ignition and / or wires for controlling the controller extend within the operating lumen 64. For this reason, the actuating lumen 64 is adopted in the form of a rubber member having insulating properties and elasticity.

Both the heat source unit 50 and the operating 52 wave fuel container 53 are provided with a loosening-installing member 69, which can be relaxed. This allows them to be separated from the garment when heating is not needed. It is also convenient when the robes are washed.

Although the use in this embodiment consists of an operating unit and a control unit for controlling combustion occurring in the heat source unit, if the operating unit has the ability to control the amount of fuel to be supplied from the fuel container to the heat source unit. If designed to have combustion of the heat source unit, the combustion can be controlled, and if the operating unit is provided with a high voltage generating unit, ignition can be achieved by activating the igniter of the heat source unit. The operating unit can also be provided with a display unit, whereby the ignition status of the heat source unit can be ascertained, and in that case, if the operating unit is installed to operate outside of the garment, while the user is wearing the garment, The ignition status can easily be confirmed, and after ignition by the operating unit, the ignition status can be confirmed via the display unit.
