Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the technical field of application devices depilatory wax, in which the wax, stored in solid form at temperature ambient, must be subjected to a heat flux to change state and pass to a at least pasty state so that it can be applied.
  • the present invention relates more particularly to a depilatory wax applicator comprising a gripping case inside which are housed means for heaters, associated with thermal regulation means, intended to melt a charge of wax, a reservoir intended to collect the melted wax.
  • the hair removal technique applying a depilatory wax consists in melting a certain amount of wax, then apply a layer of this wax in the molten state to the area to be depilated. After hardening, i.e. after cooling, the cold wax film is removed by any suitable means, the hairs then being extracted from the skin in because of their joining with the melted wax.
  • ready-to-use hot wax dispensers consisting of a wax tank heated by any means, for example by a device similar to a bottle warmer.
  • These devices are supplemented by a simple distributor roll of wax independent of the reservoir, which the user introduces into the wax mass in order to coat it with a mass of wax.
  • These devices prove no longer meet the needs of users of depilatory wax, in particular because of many disadvantages of use. So the application temperature of the wax is practically uncontrollable, as is the thickness of application of this layer.
  • These devices are also considered bulky and give rise to a long, tedious, often messy hair removal operation and also involves overconsumption of wax.
  • a set applicator comprising a housing provided with heated housings in which are housed manual applicators intended to be implemented by the user.
  • the applicators have an internal depilatory wax reservoir and a roller wax applicator.
  • Such an applicator obviously constitutes an improvement notable compared to previous devices, but it does not solve however completely the essential problem of the control of the application of the wax. Indeed, the heating of the wax only occurs intermittently over time when the applicator is in the heated housing. It therefore turns out that after a application time the temperature of the wax decreases rapidly and is not consequence more at a favorable level.
  • the object of the present invention therefore aims to remedy the drawbacks mentioned above, and to provide a depilatory wax applicator whose mode of application is independent of the gravitational force.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a depilatory wax applicator allowing control and optimal control of the applied wax layer.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a depilatory wax applicator allowing the application of a regular and uniform layer, regardless of the position of the applicator.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a depilatory wax applicator operating independently of its orientation in space, and having by the same fact several degrees of freedom.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a depilatory wax applicator whose different parts are particularly simple to make and assemble.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a depilatory wax applicator easy to use when loading the wax and when disassembling and cleaning.
  • the depilatory wax applicator illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 4 comprises a housing 3 produced by example of a plastic material, said housing having a general shape elongated longitudinal axis x-x '.
  • the housing 3 is of any cross section and for example substantially circular, and advantageously constitutes a gripping means capable of allowing the user to grasp it manually.
  • the reservoir 6 is made of aluminum and extends substantially over the entire central part of the housing 3 along the axis x-x '.
  • the surface of the conveyor belt may be smooth or may have different types of relief patterns, arranged regularly along the strip.
  • Figure 2 illustrates an example where the strip has a multitude of parallel strips aligned along the y-y 'axis of the rolling means, regularly distributed along the course of the strip. The routing of the wax is thus facilitated.
  • it is planned to use a strip comprising at least one recess arranged along its course along the axis x-x '.
  • Such a hollow locally increases the thickness of the wax layer in order to increase its mechanical resistance during the lifting phase.
  • the applicator advantageously comprises means for lateral guidance of the conveyor belt, preventing it from sliding or slipping sideways.
  • he may be a central rib 15 cooperating with a guide slot 15a corresponding practiced in the rollers 12.
  • side edges arranged on the outer periphery of the rollers play the same role.
  • the conveying means 1 and / or the housing 14 containing the wax charge are removable, preferably by sliding or sliding of the support 13 in the tank 6 so as to allow the extraction or the 'insertion by the nozzle 8 of the housing 3, as can be seen in Figure 2.
  • This feature facilitates the loading of the wax.
  • a known type of wax charge in a housing 14 provided for this purpose in the central body of the support 13.
  • a possible locking means ensures the maintenance of the means 1 in the housing.
  • Such a locking means may consist for example of a spring needle, a two-position screw, or any other conventional locking means.
  • the tank 6 is in thermal relation with heating means 4, consisting for example of an electrical resistance or a PTC at least partially surrounding the tank 6 or, as shown in FIG. 1, mounted integral with a wall of said tank 6.
  • the heating means 4 is conventionally associated with thermal regulation means such as a thermostat and a fuse.
  • thermal regulation means such as a thermostat and a fuse.
  • other heating means can be used, such as a heating cartridge, an armored resistor with or without thermal control, a halogen or incandescent bulb, all of these means being of known types.
  • the regulation can be carried out by moving the light source away from the heating body, the latter then advantageously being made of transparent material, such as for example glass, polycarbonate, PMMA or polyamide 11 or 12.
  • the applicator according to the invention is provided with a witness of use 7, arranged on the housing 3, informing the user that the temperature wax application is reached.
  • a witness of use 7 may for example be a witness based on the color change of a reversible ink at a given temperature.
  • other means indicating that the operating temperature is reached can be used, such as a time counter associated with a sound or visual signal of known type, such as an LCD, LED or other display.
  • the entire electrical system including electrical connections and power cord locking means 10 is preferably mounted on a support flange 2 housed between the bottom of the housing and the edge of the tank.
  • the assembly 1 is subsequently reintroduced into the housing. From the connection or from the selection of the switch in the operating position, the heating means 4 are activated. The temperature of the wax increases; the softened wax, then melts. She is then distributed in the tank 6, along at least one of the walls thereof, following the orientation of the applicator, as illustrated in figure 3. The strip routing along the walls of the tank, the wax comes into contact with said bandaged.
  • the wax present on the strip portion outside the housing is then deposits on the application surface, in particular the surface to be depilated.
  • the displacement of the applicator against the application surface therefore causes the circulation of the strip which conveys the molten wax from the tank to the surface of application.
  • the calibrated opening 8a allows the deposit of a regular layer and uniform.
  • motorization means 16, 17, 18 and 19 of known type are provided. So, for example, a 16 DC or stepper motor connected to a transmission assembly 17 driving a cooperating drive roller with the conveyor belt 11, allows the automatic advancement of the belt.
  • the motor 16 is arranged in the housing 3, preferably outside the tank 6 and a transmission assembly, for example belt, transmits the rotary movement to the roller 18, disposed in the tank 6, against the belt.
  • An axis crossing so waterproof a wall of the support 13 completes the drive chain.
  • These motorization means allow the automatic advancement of the strip, by example at the start of the cycle, before it is covered with wax.
  • the automatic belt advancement means allow the strip to circulate at a constant speed, which contributes to the application of a uniform layer. This same means also has the advantage of eliminating all effort to drive the strip and therefore to apply the wax. This feature is particularly advantageous for regions sensitive to epilation.
  • one or more rollers are added 12 additional for the belt drive.
  • the conveying means 1 consist of a strip or tape possibly comprising a series of cups. As in the form of execution illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4, at least a portion of the strip is bathed in the melted wax and another portion flows out of the housing.
