SINGLE SIDE HEATING APPARATUS

A single side heating apparatus, which can make contact portions of electrodes properly contact with a workpiece, is provided. A single side heating apparatus (1) equipped with a pair of electrodes (2A, 2B) for heating a workpiece from one side of the workpiece includes: a base portion (3); the pair of electrodes (2A, 2B) each having a contact portion (4) configured to contact with the workpiece in one direction continuously or at a plurality of spaced-apart portions thereof; an electrode holder (5), to which the pair of electrodes (2A, 28) are fixed; and a four-bar linkage (7) provided between the base portion (3) and the electrode holder (5) and configured to rotate to tilt the electrode holder (5) around an axis (01) orthogonal to a direction in which the contact portions (4) extend, by a reaction force received by the electrodes (2A, 2B) from the workpiece, wherein the four-bar linkage (7) includes a first link located closer to the electrode holder (5), a second link located closer to the base portion (3), a third link, and a fourth link, the first link being shorter than the second link, and the third link and the fourth link being equal in length.
