Abstract
A steam generator device has a first and a second chamber, and walls mutually isolating the two chambers. Reagents which react together to generate steam when in mutual contact are mutually separated by a barrier, and disposed in the first chamber. An opening member forms a first opening between the chambers and a second opening through the barrier. Hence the reagents come into contact via said second opening, the reagents react thereby generating steam, and the steam flows through the first opening into the second chamber.

1-29. (canceled)
A steam generator device comprising walls defining a first chamber and a second chamber;
- a wall isolating the first chamber from the second chamber, the first chamber holding a first substance and a second substance;
- a further wall separating the first and second substances from one another, said first and second substances reacting together to generate steam when in mutual contact;
- and an opening device for forming a first opening through said isolating wall and a second opening through said further wall;
- characterised in that said opening device is supported and aligned with respect to its use position and comprises a portion for piercing said further wall, which portion is supported in said first chamber and is movable to pierce said further wall to form said second opening therethrough;
- whereby said first and second substances come into contact via said second opening, said first and second substances reacting together thereby generating said steam, which steam flows through said first opening.
