  • Patent number: 6758149
    Abstract: This invention provides a refuse incinerator capable of extinguishing smoke and odor of exhaust gas emitted from, combustion of the refuse just after incineration of the refuse is started. Exhaust gas outlets are provided in a furnace lid of the incineration furnace, an exhaust gas chamber is provided such that the furnace lid is used as part of a bottom wall thereof and an exhaust gas introduction pipe is provided to communicate between the exhaust gas chamber and a combustion chamber. Exhaust gas emitted into the exhaust gas chamber is introduced into the combustion chamber and burnt so as to extinguish the smoke and odor. Because the combustion chamber reaches high temperatures just after the incineration of the refuse is started, the smoke and odor of the exhaust gas are extinguished just after the incineration of the refuse is started.

  • Patent number: 5174273
    Abstract: This invention relates to a cooking device which cooks food evenly without making the food get out of shape, and also keeps the cooked food hot. The device has a hot water tank having a bottom inner tank provided in the bottom thereof and a bottom outer tank for surrounding the bottom inner tank through a flue. A combustion chamber is provided under the hot water tank. A guide partition plate is arranged at a gradient in the hot water tank and has a passage for passing hot water upward to its upstream side. A circulating unit is formed at a downstream side. A partition unit collects the hot water rising from the bottom of the hot water tank to guide the hot water to the passage side. A partition plate has a through hole and is provided to partition the hot water tank above the guide partition plate into a boiling chamber, located above the passage, and a heat insulation chamber, located above the partition unit.
