Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the technical field of waxing devices capable of being applied to the skin using an applicator roller.
  • the present invention relates to a hot melt waxing device capable of being extended on the skin to coat the hairs to be plucked, then to be plucked, said device comprising a housing capable of being held in or in the hand by the hand. inside which is arranged a reservoir for storing the mass of wax and a heating means capable of heating the wax to allow its application in a substantially liquid state on the skin, said apparatus being associated with the outlet of the reservoir with an applicator roller wax provided with grooves on its surface.
  • hair removal devices capable of applying a hot-melt wax for depilatory use. These devices consist of a wax reservoir associated directly or indirectly with heating means intended to bring the wax at least partially to its softening or melting temperature. These devices are associated with a means for spreading the wax generally comprising an applicator roller disposed in the vicinity of an outlet orifice of the reservoir.
  • Such devices are for example described in the patent application French n ° 93.07.341.
  • This device is intended to be used with a hot-melt wax, the rheological properties of which allow it, once applied to the skin, to be torn off axially in the direction of the strip of wax applied while remaining substantially parallel to the application area.
  • the flexibility of the wax prevents the strip from being torn, despite the relatively thin thickness of the strip of wax previously applied using a smooth roller.
  • the strip of wax applied may have a weakness relating to the resistance to tearing during tearing.
  • rollers of this kind are described, for example, in patent application EP-0.4.99.318 which describes a hair removal device thus provided with a roller comprising grooves wavy along the axis of the roller.
  • the axial arrangement of the grooves has the drawback of creating a series of grooves or grooves on the wax strip constituting, relative to the axial direction of tearing off, the primers for breaking the strip.
  • the strip is weakened and that the shapes and arrangement of the grooves are unsuitable for strengthening the wax strip.
  • the object of the invention therefore aims to remedy the drawbacks mentioned above and to provide a waxing device for improving the tear resistance of the wax strip when the latter is torn off.
  • the objects assigned to the invention are achieved with the aid of a hot-melt waxing appliance comprising a housing capable of being held in or in the hand, inside which is disposed: a reservoir for storing the wax. and a heating means capable of heating the wax to allow its application in the substantially liquid state, said apparatus comprising associated with the outlet of the reservoir a wax applicator roller provided on its surface with grooves, characterized in that the grooves are extend substantially in the direction of rolling of the roller so as to define on the strip of wax applied areas of excess thickness substantially parallel to the direction of tearing off the strip.
  • Figure 1 shows a general view of an applicator roller according to the invention.
  • Figure 2 shows a partial perspective view of the structure of a strip of wax applied using an applicator roller according to the invention.
  • FIGS 3, 4 and 5 show according to side views of alternative embodiments of an applicator roller according to the invention.
  • the present invention relates to a hot-melt waxing appliance comprising, as is well known in the prior art, a housing capable of being held in or in the hand, made for example of plastic.
  • a housing capable of being held in or in the hand, made for example of plastic.
  • Such an apparatus is for example described in patent application FR-93.07.341, by the same applicant and whose description is considered to be incorporated into the present application.
  • a reservoir preferably metallic, intended to store the wax.
  • the apparatus also comprises a heating means, for example a resistance of the PCT type, mounted in thermal connection with the reservoir and intended to supply it directly or indirectly, the thermal energy necessary for the melting of the wax.
  • the hair removal device also includes all of the electrical elements and connections necessary for the electrical supply of the heating means.
  • the hair removal device also comprises a member for applying the wax, in this case an applicator roller 1 mounted in association, and for example in association with the outlet 2 from the reservoir to allow the flow of the wax.
  • a member for applying the wax in this case an applicator roller 1 mounted in association, and for example in association with the outlet 2 from the reservoir to allow the flow of the wax.
  • the applicator roller 1 is held in place in a fixed or removable manner on the body of the housing of the device by any known means and for example by means of axes 3.
  • the roller 1 is provided on its surface with grooves 4 extending substantially in the direction of rolling of the roller.
  • the grooves preferably extend in planes substantially perpendicular to the axis x-x 'of the roller 1, and the grooves being parallel to each other and preferably equidistant.
  • the grooves 4 are circular of substantially hemispherical section, to form at the periphery of the roller 1 a plurality of annular and circular grooves.
  • the applicator roller according to the invention makes it possible to apply a strip of wax 10, shown in part in FIG. 2, the profile of which shows a series of ribs 11 in elevation relative to the normal profile of the strip 10.
  • the ribs 11 are the result of the spreading action caused by grooves, they constitute on the strip of wax to be applied 10, zones of excess thickness substantially parallel to the direction of the tearing F of the strip 10. They thus allow significantly increase, for example on the order of at least 5 to 20%, the tear resistance of the wax strip 10. In practice, this achieves this by optimally sizing the dimensions and the 'spacing of the grooves 4 with respect to the thickness and the average width of the wax strip 10, an increase in the tear resistance of the order of 10% on average.
  • the average depth of the grooves 4 is of the order of 0.3 millimeters, the width of the means of the grooves being of the order of 0.5 millimeters, the grooves 4 being spaced apart a distance of the order of 2.8 millimeters.
  • FIG. 3 shows an alternative embodiment of the invention, in which the grooves 4 are produced in the form of curved segments, preferably equidistant from each other.
  • FIG. 4 shows another alternative embodiment in which the grooves 4 form a plurality of segments 4a, aligned circumferentially on the surface of the roller 1 on the same theoretical circle centered on the axis of the roller 1.
  • the segments 4a of the two adjacent circles overlap at least over a portion s of surface.
  • the grooves 4 can form a series of coils, preferably equidistant from each other.
  • the roller according to the invention therefore makes it possible both to limit the quantity of wax deposited while significantly increasing the tear resistance of the wax strip.
  • the invention finds its application in the technical field of wax hair removal devices and more particularly in that of consumer devices.
