Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the general technical field of devices for applying hot-melt products, and in particular to devices for applying depilatory wax, said devices being suitable for storing the wax in solid form at room temperature, while being capable to make it change state, and to make it pass to a state at least pasty or liquid in order to be able to apply it using a roller.
  • the present invention relates more particularly to a hot melt depilatory wax applicator roll intended to be functionally associated with or with a wax applicator assembly comprising a housing associated with a gripping means and a reservoir of the product to be applied, said reservoir being in thermal relation with heating means.
  • the present invention also relates to a wax applicator assembly comprising the applicator itself, as well as the applicator roller according to the invention.
  • this technique consists in melting a certain quantity of wax which is substantially in the solid state at room temperature, then in applying it, in the molten state, in the form of a layer to the area to be depilated.
  • the film of cold wax is removed using appropriate means which differ according to the tearing-off technique used.
  • the removal of the strip of wax can be carried out directly manually if the wax has the necessary characteristics and elasticity, or indirectly using additional means, such as a cloth or a Adhesive paper.
  • the traditional wax applicators of the prior art include a housing intended to be held in or in the hand, as well as a reservoir intended to store the wax, the housing comprising heating means in thermal relation with the reservoir for carrying the wax at the melting temperature, in order to make it change state.
  • the conventional devices known to date also include application means which can be in the form of various tips or even rollers.
  • the heating means are independent of the housing (FR-A-2520601) and mounted in a base to form a heating base.
  • patent application EP-A-0368698 which describes a manual applicator comprising, in the same housing, a wax reservoir, a heating resistor and an applicator roller.
  • the wax applicator being turned over, the wax is applied in the molten state to the skin by means of the gravitational force, when the roller, which channels and spreads the wax in a thin and controlled layer of thickness, is applied to the skin.
  • Apparatuses of this type generally give overall satisfaction, and are particularly used to apply wax in small quantities for depilation of the legs.
  • Applicators of this type nevertheless suffer from a major drawback linked to the difficulty or even the impossibility of easily depositing strips of wax in different areas of the body, such as the armpits, the mustache, certain areas of skin fold etc. This is largely due to the impossibility of varying, and in particular reducing the width of the strip of wax to be applied by the roller.
  • the present invention aims precisely to solve all of the drawbacks listed above, and in particular to produce a depilatory wax applicator roller capable of applying strips of wax of variable width, in a simple and rapid manner for the user. .
  • Another object of the invention consists in producing an applicator roller and the apparatus associated therewith, which make it possible to provide numerous possibilities for variations in widths of application of wax, while remaining particularly simple in design.
  • Another object of the invention further aims to provide a wax applicator roller and the apparatus associated therewith which is capable of ensuring or facilitating the passage from one width of selected wax strip to another with reliability and speed.
  • a hot-melt depilatory wax applicator roll intended to be functionally associated with or with a wax applicator assembly, characterized in that it comprises application means of wax, capable of ensuring, selectively by control means, the deposition on the skin of strips of wax of different widths according to the selection made.
  • a hot melt depilatory wax applicator intended to be held in or in the hand, and comprising a means for storing a mass of wax and a heating means of wax, as well as a wax applicator roller, characterized in that it comprises means for applying the wax capable of ensuring, selectively, by control means, the deposition on the skin of strips of wax of different widths depending on the selection made.
  • the applicator for hot-melt products shown in a partial view in FIG. 1 conventionally comprises an external casing 1 made for example of a plastic material having, in a nonlimiting manner, a generally elongated shape allowing it to be easily held at or in the hand.
  • a reservoir 2 externally limited by a wall 3 generally made of a material which is a good heat conductor and for example metallic.
  • the tank 2 therefore forms a means for storing the wax, or more generally the hot-melt product to be applied.
  • the wall 3 of the reservoir 2 is made of aluminum and advantageously extends over the entire central part of the housing 1, being limited to its lower part by a bottom (not shown) and to its upper part by a metal head 4, possibly attached or screwed to the wall 3.
  • the metal head 4 internally delimits an upper opening of the applicator forming a conduit 5 which allows the wax, by gravity, to flow from tank 2 to the outside.
  • the wax applicator device comprises heating means (not shown in the figures) housed and fixed in the housing 1, preferably in its lower part and in thermal relation with the or the walls 3.
  • the heating means can be constituted by any conventional electrical element capable of supplying high or low voltage, thermal energy to ensure the melting of the wax.
  • the heating means may consist of an electrical resistance or a PTC, for example at least partially surrounding the tank 2.
  • the heating means are also, as is well known in the prior art , associated with thermal regulation means, such as a thermostat and a fuse (not shown in the figures).
  • the wax applicator roller 10 with a longitudinal axis of revolution xx 'is arranged in the duct 5 and rests for example by lateral pins 11 in recesses 12 made in the walls of the head 4.
  • the roller applicator 10 is supported in the recesses 12 and mounted free to rotate about its axis x-x '.
  • the pins 11 have axes coinciding with the longitudinal axis x-x '.
  • the applicator roller 10 is for example made of a metallic material provided on its peripheral surface with a coating of plastic material, advantageously overmolded forming the wax application layer.
  • the applicator roller 10 comprises means for applying the wax which are capable of ensuring, selectively by control means, the deposition on the skin of strips of wax of different widths, according to the selection made.
  • the application means comprise, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, at least two adjacent cylinders 10a, 10b forming the applicator roller 10, at least one of the cylinders being capable of being selectively be blocked in rotation, or free to rotate through the control means.
  • the cylinders 10a, 10b are coaxial, of the same diameter and side by side, and preferably are mounted so as to fit into each other to form a single applicator roller 10
  • the cylinder 10a comprises for example in its central part a well 15 in which is slidably mounted a male part 16 secured to the cylinder 10b.
  • the dimensional relationships between the well 15 and the male part 16 are such that the well 15 forms a bearing for the male part 16.
  • the cylinders 10a and 10b can be rotated at the same speed when the roller 10 runs on the skin.
  • the other cylinder can be rotated, when the roller 10 runs on the skin.
  • the cylinders 10a, 10b are preferably two in number although a greater number of adjacent cylinders is also possible.
  • each cylinder 10a, 10b has a tread having a specific application width which is different from the width of the other cylinder so as to be able to apply wax strips of corresponding widths and different from each other.
  • the cylinder 10a (FIG. 1) whose tread is of width La, is greater than the width Lb of the tread of the cylinder 10b, the sum La + Lb forming the width L corresponding to the tread of the entire applicator roller 10.
  • the control means comprise means for blocking the rotation of the application means, that is to say cylinders 10a and 10b.
  • the locking means are mechanical locking means including the control means, namely an arm 20 pivotally mounted in the vicinity of a side face of a cylinder 10a, 10b on the applicator assembly.
  • the arm 20 is pivotally mounted by an axis 21 between a position for disengaging the axis x-x '( Figure 3) and a position for engaging the same axis ( Figure 2).
  • the arm 20 has at its upper part a housing 22 forming a cutout or an opening with a profile conjugated to the profile of a portion of the axis x-x '.
  • the arm 20 is mounted in the vicinity of the cylinder 10b and comprises a housing 22 of substantially oblong shape and one of the end edges 22a of which has a partially hexagonal profile which, when the arm 20 is in its position of engagement of axis xx '(figure 2), to engage a hexagonal part of axis x-x'.
  • the hexagonal part of the axis x-x ' is formed by the pin 11 so as to block said axis in rotation at this level.
  • the arm 20 is provided at its upper part with a lug 26 serving as control means for selecting one or the other of the positions of said arm.
  • the space "e", shown in FIG. 2, defined between the tread of the applicator roller 10 and the internal wall of the head 4 is substantially equal to 0.5 mm and preferably between 0 , 4 mm and 1 mm. Compliance with these dimensional criteria makes it possible to prevent the wax from flowing when the applicator roller 10 does not rotate.
  • the operation of the applicator roller according to the invention is as follows.
  • the user selects using the control means 20, 26, the desired wax strip width by choosing to selectively block either one or the other of the cylinders 10a, 10b, or by not blocking any of said cylinders . It therefore has three widths of wax strips, to choose from. Once the selection has been made, the user turns the applicator over and applies it to the area to be depilated by moving it.
  • any equivalent magnetic locking means involving a magnet or an electromagnet.
  • Another embodiment may consist in mounting each cylinder 10a, 10b, not on a common axis, but on separate axes, aligned when the rollers 10a, 10b are in position at the bottom of the duct 5.
  • the cylinders 10a, 10b are arranged side by side at the bottom of the conduit 5 and prevent the exit of the wax.
  • Each cylinder 10a, 10b can be mounted on the head 4 so as to ability to slide and occupy a high working position, in which the wax can flow. This embodiment therefore makes it possible to select several widths of wax strips by selecting the high position of the cylinder or cylinders 10a, 10b which it is desired to use and to move in rotation on the skin.
