Abstract: A sanitary washing device includes a private part washing nozzle, a casing, a sterilizing water generator, and an illuminator. The private part washing nozzle discharges water toward a private part of a user in a state of the private part washing nozzle is advanced into a toilet. The casing includes a nozzle storage part configured to store an entirety of the private part washing nozzle in a state of the private part washing nozzle is retracted. The sterilizing water generator generates sterilizing water supplied to the private part washing nozzle and the nozzle storage part. The illuminator irradiates sterilizing light into the nozzle storage part. The sterilizing light has a sterilizing action. The illuminator irradiates the sterilizing light toward a residual water occurrence portion at which the sterilizing water supplied into the nozzle storage part remains.

Abstract: When the human body is washed, washing water is sprayed on a surface to be washed of the human body from a posterior nozzle and a bidet nozzle. On the other hand, when the human body is not washed, the posterior nozzle and the bidet nozzle are subjected to high-temperature cleaning by a nozzle cleaning nozzle. When it is detected that a sanitary washing apparatus has not been employed yet, the posterior nozzle and the bidet nozzle are allowed to be cleaned by the nozzle cleaning nozzle by a controller. After a cleaning operation is terminated, a user is notified that the cleaning operation is terminated by a notification lamp and a speaker. A scale inhibiting material supply device is interposed in a pipe on the upstream side of an instantaneous heating device by the nozzle cleaning nozzle.

Abstract: A catalytic combustion apparatus comprises a combustor 11, a fuel tank 12, a valve 13, and an ignition device 14. The combustor 11 further comprises a gas nozzle 16, an air intake/ejector 17, a mixing chamber 18, a firing chamber 19, an ignition plug 20, a combustion chamber 21, a catalyst for combustion 22 housed inside the combustion chamber 21, and an exhaust port 23. The mixing chamber 18 is made into a straight cylindrical passage, a cylindrical firing chamber 19 is provided in parallel to the mixing chamber 18 so that an opening 24 on the side of the firing chamber 19 communicates with the combustion chamber 21, a burner port 25 is disposed on the boundary between the mixing chamber 18 and the firing chamber 19, and the burner 25 is configured with a catalytic net 25a.

Abstract: A heating garment includes a heat source provided inside a garment, and a heat conducting path for transmitting air heated by the heat source from the heat source upwardly along a back of the garment. By so doing, not only can a portable, light-weight and compact combustor be provided, but the use of this combustor is effective to accomplish heating inside the garment while the supply of fuel and the amount of heat supplied can be controlled, to thereby provide a comfortable temperature environment inside the garment. It is also possible to obtain the heating garment ready comfortably and quick to warm.

Abstract: A belt-shaped member cut into a predetermined length is fed from a feeding devices to a tire forming drum and is wound on its cylindrical peripheral surface. Center portions of the opposite ends of the belt-shaped member are pushed to be joined to each other and the side portions of at least one of the opposite ends of the belt-shaped member are held by upper and lower holding pawls. Such holding pawls are swung along an arcuate path so that both side portions of the opposite ends of the belt-shaped member are drawn near each other to abut against each other. The abutting end portions are pushed toward the peripheral surface of the drum by pushing devices for joining them together.
