Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a waxing device, in particular for the face.
  • This method consists of melting the wax, applying the latter in the molten state on the leg, for example by means of a spatula, letting the wax solidify, then pulling the latter to detach it from the skin. .
  • the hairs trapped in the wax are thus detached from the skin at the same time as the wax.
  • French patent application 2,495,906 in the name of SEB S.A. describes an apparatus for depilating with wax, particularly well suited for epilation by oneself of very localized and sensitive areas of the skin, in particular of the face.
  • This device essentially comprises a magazine intended to receive a block of wax, a tubular conduit extending between this magazine and a nozzle opening out of the apparatus and intended to be brought close to the skin of the user, means to engage in the aforementioned conduit the block of wax contained in the magazine and to push this block towards the nozzle, and heating means adjacent to the conduit to melt the wax engaged in this conduit.
  • the user when using the device, the user extrudes out of the nozzle a certain amount of wax, for example in the form of strip in the pasty state, which can be applied with precision to a localized area of small extent of the face.
  • the user can therefore proceed to a very precise epilation of the face, without danger for the eyes, the mouth and other sensitive parts of the face.
  • this device has the drawback of being relatively complex and costly and, in addition, the blocks of wax to be introduced into the store must be kept at a suitable temperature and handled with care to avoid any deformation liable to render them unusable.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a waxing device which has the same advantages as the device described by French patent application 2 495 906 but which is simpler and therefore less expensive, and which avoids the use of wax in the form of blocks.
  • this device is characterized in that it comprises at least one flexible tube containing depilatory wax in the solid state, this flexible tube being detachably fixed in a support and placed in thermal contact with means for reheating the wax contained in the flexible tube.
  • the user extracts by extrusion from the heated tube a certain quantity of wax, for example in the form of vermicelli or strip in the pasty state, which can be applied with precision to an area localized of small extent of the face.
  • the user can therefore proceed to a very precise epilation of the face, without danger for the eyes, the mouth and other sensitive parts of the face. In addition, it does not have to handle solid wax to recharge the device. When a tube is empty, he just needs to replace it with a new full tube that he can easily obtain commercially.
  • the support is a box containing the flexible tube and the means for heating the wax.
  • the device according to the invention is thus presented in a compact form which is easy to use and transportable.
  • the means for heating the wax contained in the flexible tube fixed in the housing comprise a heating element disposed substantially parallel to the flexible tube, this heating element being connected to the flexible tube by means forming a radiator which enclose the heating element over substantially its entire height and which loosely surround the flexible tube over substantially the entire height of this flexible tube.
  • the waxing device comprises (see FIG. 1), a plastic casing 1 of generally parallelepipedal shape, consisting of two half-casings assembled longitudinally and a cover 2 bearing on a shoulder 3 formed in the outer walls of the housing 1, at the upper part of this housing.
  • a locking ring 4 placed on the shoulder 3 allows the latching of the cover 2 on the housing 1.
  • the housing 1 is adapted to receive two flexible plastic tubes 5 containing wax in the solid state, removably supported inside this housing 1 and placed in thermal contact with means 6 for heating the wax contained in the flexible tubes 5.
  • the outlet end pieces 7 of the flexible tubes 5 have two grooves 8, 9 preformed to facilitate cutting of these end pieces, one 8 of substantially circular section being provided at the end of these end pieces and the another 9 of substantially rectangular section disposed at the base of these end pieces.
  • the user can extract by extrusion from this flexible tube a certain amount of wax in the pasty state, either in the form of a vermicelli by cutting out the outlet end piece 7 in line with the groove 8, or in the form of a: strip by cutting out this end piece in line with the groove 9.
  • the means for heating the wax contained in the flexible tubes 5. fixed in the housing 1, comprise a heating element 6 disposed in the center of the housing 1 substantially parallel to these flexible tubes.
  • This heating element 6 which consists of a resistor with a positive temperature coefficient, for example of doped ceramic and coated with a mixture of silicone elastomer and of a heat-conducting mineral filler, is connected to the flexible tubes 5 by means 10, 11 forming a radiator fixed to the interior walls of the housing 1 which enclose the heating element 6 over substantially its entire height and which loosely surround the flexible tubes 5 over substantially the entire height of these flexible tubes.
  • the electrical resistance 6 is supplied by means of an electrical conductor 15 protected at least in its part included inside the means 10, 11 forming a radiator by a thermally insulating sheath 16 and connected to a male connection socket 17 embedded in the lower part of the housing 1.
  • An indicator light 18 connected to the socket 17 and visible at the lower part of the housing 1, is provided to indicate that the housing 1 has been powered up.
  • the two flexible tubes 5 and said radiator means 10, 11 are arranged symmetrically with respect to the heating element 6.
  • These radiator means comprise two thin metal plates 10, 11 which extend symmetrically on either side respectively of the heating element 6 and flexible tubes 5.
  • Each of these metal plates 10, 11 comprises (see FIG. 2), a first part 12 of semi-circular section respectively enclosing one half of the heating element 6, a second part 13 of semi-elliptical section respectively surrounding without clamping half of the flexible tubes 5 and a third part 14 substantially planar connecting the first part 12 at the second part 13, and extending over part of the height of the shoemaker 1, only the parts 14 of the metal plates 10, 11 are contiguous.
  • Each flexible tube 5 is associated with a slider 19 provided for extracting the flexible tube from the housing 1, that is to say to facilitate the gripping of this flexible tube by the user when the cover 2 has been removed in order to avoid this user to burn himself on contact with the metal plates 10, 11 forming a radiator.
  • These sliders 19 visible on the small outer walls 25 of the housing 1 are adapted to slide inside a recess 20 formed in these small walls and extending over part of the height of the housing 1.
  • Each slider 19 is connected (see FIG. 2) to a support member 21 integral in movement with this slider by means of a bent rod 22 adapted to slide in a groove 23 formed in the small walls 25 of the housing 1 and to the inside of the two parts 13 of the metal plates 10, 11 when the cursor 19 is made to slide in the recess 20.
  • These support members 21 consist of a small circular plate on which the corresponding flexible tube 5 is supported when it is introduced into the housing 1.
  • the metal plates 10, 11 forming a radiator and supporting the flexible tubes 5 provide very good heat exchange between this heating element and the wax contained in the tubes. Indeed, these plates provide sufficient heat exchange surfaces to diffuse the heat towards the wax and bring it to the aforementioned temperature but such that any risk of overheating the wax is discarded, the heating element not being in direct contact with the wax.
  • the waxing device according to the invention of simple construction, therefore proves to be particularly convenient to use. It makes it possible to apply wax to the skin with precision and in perfectly dosed quantities, which makes it possible to depilate the skin in very sensitive places and of very small extent, for example close to the mouth, nostrils or the user's eyes.
  • the device according to the invention protects the user from any contact of the wax, hot or cold, and the heating element with his hands. In addition, since the wax is never in direct contact with the heating element, it is not likely to be excessively heated which could cause burns to the skin of the user.
  • the device according to the invention requires no maintenance or cleaning and can be recharged very simply by replacing the empty tubes with full tubes.
  • the housing could be adapted to receive more than two tubes containing wax.
  • the housing and the tubes could also be presented in substantially different forms.
  • the device according to the invention could be used to depilate any other part of the skin than the face.
