Various types of air cleaning devices for cleaning air fed to a passenger compartment of a motor vehicle are described. These air cleaning devices are arranged to incorporate with a cowl top structure of the vehicle. In one type, an air filter is disposed in an external air introduction passage led to the passenger compartment, and when the air filter is blocked with arrested dusts, a bypass passage is established to keep the feeding of atmospheric air to the passenger compartment. In a modified type, the bypass passage is instantly blocked and an internal air circulation mode is established. In one type, an electrostatic air collecting unit is used for arresting very fine particles in the atmospheric air fed to the passenger compartment. In order to achieve a smoothed air flow in the electrostatic air collecting unit, smoothly curved air guide passages are defined between positive and negative electrode plates. In one type, two hood ridge reinforcing hollowed structures are used for feeding the air box and thus the passenger compartment with a satisfied amount of atmospheric air. In order to facilitate the maintenance of the air filter in the air box, an inspection aperture is provided in the cowl top. Usually, the inspection aperture is covered by a lid.

A substrate heat treatment apparatus includes a heat treatment furnace of a flat configuration, and having a cavity in which a substrate is accommodated. The heat treatment furnace includes a gas supply unit at one side end face, an opening for communication between the cavity and the outside world, and a gas discharge unit in the vicinity of the opening for discharging gas from the cavity at the other side end face. The heat treatment furnace further includes a cover for shutting the opening allowing opening/closing thereof. In the gas exhaust unit, an exhaust chamber is formed on the other side end face along the opening with a partition wall between the opening and the exhaust chamber. An exhaust portion is formed in communication with the outside world in the exhaust chamber. The partition wall is formed so that the edge of the partition wall is displaced away from the inside surface of the cover, whereby a slit-like vent passage extending in the direction of the width of the cavity is formed between the cover and the edge of the partition wall when the opening is shut. The gas flow is uniform in the vicinity of the vent passage when a substrate is loaded/unloaded into and/from the heat treatment furnace, and also during heat treatment. The outside air will not enter the furnace, and no stagnation of the process gas occurs in the furnace.

A substrate temperature measuring apparatus includes a temperature signal generating device provided in contact with a substrate for generating a signal indicating its own temperature which follows the temperature of the substrate by thermal conduction, a device connected and responsive to the output of the temperature signal generating device for determining whether contact between the substrate and the temperature signal generating device is appropriate or not, and a device for carrying out a predetermined process according to a determination result of the determining device. It is possible to apply heat treatment to the substrate, to prevent the substrate from being subjected to heat treatment, or to give a necessary alarm according to the determination result. Since the next substrate is at room temperature when it first comes into contact with the temperature signal generating device after heat treatment, the temperature signal generating device lowers its temperature rapidly in such a manner that reflects a state of contact between the substrate and the temperature signal generating device. Based on change of the output of the temperature signal generating device at this time, it is possible to detect an undesired state of contact between the substrate and the temperature signal generating device, and to prevent inaccurate measurement of the temperature of the substrate.
