Heating device
View Patent ↗A device for heating an epilatory wax, a unit block of a solidified epilatory wax for use with the device and a kit including the device and at least one unit block of a solidified epilatory wax.
1. A device for heating unit blocks of epilatory wax comprising:
a chamber configured to receive at least one unit block of the solidified epilatory wax, wherein the chamber is provided with an additional heating element in the form of a tower; and
a temperature controlling element configured to maintain wax in a molten state within a temperature range of approximately 50° C.-70° C.;
wherein the temperature controlling element is configured to be in direct contact with a metallic container which holds the wax;
wherein the tower covers about 40%-60% of the area of the chamber; and
wherein the chamber and the additional heating element act together to provide heat to the unit blocks of epilatory wax.
2. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the tower is located in the center of the chamber.
3. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the height of the tower is up to approximately 95% of the height of the chamber.
4. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a channel formed between the tower and a wall of the chamber has a width that is from approximately 20%-30% of the width of the chamber.
5. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the temperature controlling element is configured to maintain wax in a molten state within a temperature range of approximately 60° C.-68° C.
6. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the temperature controlling element is provided with a sensor that measures the temperature of the wax.
7. The device as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the sensor comprises a material selected from the group consisting of a positive thermal co-efficient material (PTC material) and a negative thermal co-efficient material (NTC material).
8. An epilatory kit comprising:
the device for heating an epilatory wax according to claim 1 ; and
unit blocks of a solidified epilatory wax.
9. The kit as claimed in claim 8 , wherein each unit block of wax is in a form selected from the group consisting of a disc and a pearl.
10. The kit as claimed in claim 8 , wherein each unit block of wax is in the form of a disc having a circumference of approximately 55 mm and a depth of approximately 7 mm.
11. The kit as claimed in claim 8 , wherein each unit block of wax is in the form of a pearl having a generally hemispherical shape and a radius in the range of approximately 2 mm-5 mm.
12. A unit block of a solidified epilatory wax for use in the device of claim 1 , wherein the unit block of a solidified epilatory wax is in the form of a disc.
13. The unit block of a solidified epilatory wax of claim 12 , wherein the disc has a circumference of approximately 55 mm and a depth of approximately 7 mm.
14. The unit block of a solidified epilatory wax of claim 12 , wherein the disc comprises a range of approximately 15 g-25 g of wax.
15. The unit block of a solidified epilatory wax of claim 12 , wherein the disc comprises approximately 20 g of wax.
