Abstract: A ceramic heater 2 is arranged in a metallic cylinder member 3 by forming a convergent taper portion 2t at the leading end 2a of the ceramic heater 2 and by positioning the leading end 3a of the metallic cylinder member 3 on the leading end side of a taper starting point P1 of the taper portion 2t. Solder is applied in the clearance between the inner circumference 3d of the metallic cylinder member 3 and the outer circumference 2b of the heater 2. An applied solder layer 10 is also formed on the leading end side of the taper starting point P1 of the taper portion 2t. The thick solder layer 10 present on the leading end side prevents a cut or broken off portion of the ceramic heater from separating or sliding out.

Abstract: A paging apparatus with a time information generating circuit comprises a combination switch having multiple switch positions in different operation directions, so that a time setting mode is set when a predetermined first operation is performed by the combination switch, and a paging mode is set other operations are performed. When a predetermined second operation is performed with the time setting mode set, time information measured by the time information generating circuit is replaced with time information input by the second operation. Even in the time setting mode, it is checked if a call is made to the apparatus. When there is such a call, a user is informed of this event without ignoring the occurrence of the call.
