Abstract
An apparatus for the melting of depilatory wax, the apparatus comprising: a housing including at least: a receptacle; a heating element in thermal contact with the receptacle; and a control mechanism operable to control the heating element; and a removable skin that is removably placeable on the housing to protect the housing from wax deposits.
Claims14
An apparatus for the melting of depilatory wax, the apparatus comprising:
- a housing with a top oblate hemispheric portion having an opening defined by an upper circular rim, and the top oblate hemispheric portion includes a bottom circular edge and a first recess disposed along the bottom circular edge;
- the housing further includes a bottom oblate hemispheric portion that is substantially symmetrical to top oblate hemispheric portion, and the bottom oblate hemispheric portion includes an upper circular edge and a second recess disposed along the upper circular edge;
- an interface ring that is positioned equatorially between the bottom circular edge of the top oblate hemispheric portion and the upper circular edge of the bottom oblate hemispheric portion, and the interface ring includes a circular control opening which is received between the first recess of the top oblate hemispheric portion and the second recess of the bottom oblate hemispheric portion;
- a receptable that is positioned within the housing and that is exposed via the opening in the top oblate hemispheric portion;
- a heating element in thermal contact with the receptacle;
- a control mechanism disposed in the circular control opening and the control mechanism being operable to control the heating element;
- and
- a wax repellant skin composed of silicone rubber that is molded in an oblate spherical shape with a first aperture corresponding to the opening defined by the upper circular rim in the top oblate hemispheric portion and a second aperture corresponding to the circular control opening, the wax repellant skin being removably placeable around the top oblate hemispheric portion and the bottom oblate hemispheric portion.
