Depilatory wax applicator with several degrees of freedom

摘要

The applicator consists of a holder (3) with an inner heater for the wax (5), a reservoir (6) for the molten wax, and a dispenser (11) in the form of an endless flexible band passing round rollers (12) situated in the reservoir - one at the bottom and the other at the top. The reservoir also contains a support (13) with an aperture in it to receive a block of wax. The rollers round which the band passes can be adjusted to maintain the band under the required tension, and the band is made from an elastomer material with a reinforcing core of polyester. The heater can be housed in a transparent material. In a variant the dispenser band can be turned automatically by a drive motor and pulley.
