Abstract

A heating apparatus includes a container, which has a main chamber for holding a can food, a flat baffle, which covers the main chamber of the container and has an opening for holding the can food in the main chamber, a heat source received in the container, and a tool detachably attached to the flat baffle for use to pierce the heat source and to further cause the heat source to produce a chemical reaction and to release heat for heating the can food held in the container.

1 . A heating apparatus comprising a container adapted to hold a can food, and a heat source put in said container and adapted to produce heat by means of a chemical reaction for heating said can food being put in said container, wherein said container comprises a main chamber adapted to hold said can food, a flat baffle covered on a top side thereof over said main chamber, said flat baffle having an opening adapted to hold said can food in said main chamber and a through hole near the border thereof, and a tool inserted through said through hole of said flat baffle for use to pierce said heat source and to further cause said heat source to produce a chemical reaction.  
   
   
       2 . The heating apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising a top cover for covering said container and said flat baffle, said top cover comprising a plurality of inside engagement blocks that are force into engagement with the periphery of said container, a plurality of inside ribs adapted to hold down said can food in the main chamber of said container, and a side through hole for the passing of said tool.  
   
   
       3 . The heating apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said container comprises a side chamber in communication with an upper part of said main chamber; said heat source comprises a first part received in a bottom side inside said main chamber and a second part received inside said side chamber.  
   
   
       4 . The heating apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said container has a top rim for the engagement of said engagement blocks of said top cover, and a plurality of peripheral elongated protruding portions.  
   
   
       5 . The heating apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said heat source comprises a bag of water and a bag of calcium oxide.  
   
   
       6 . The heating apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said tool is an elongated kitchen utensil, having a pointed tip at one end thereof.
