Abstract
An induction heating device for heating and/or melting a heat affected product zone of shaving or cosmetic products stored in a product container which consists of a layer of the product heated by an electrically conductive metallic target member having through-passages overlying the top product surface and energized by an induction coil into which an electromagnet field is generated by electronic circuitry for a predetermined time period into the product container, thereby permitting the heated and or melted product to flow through the through-passages onto the top surface of the target member to be collected by a user for shaving or cosmetic purposes.
Claims19
An induction heating device adapted to heat shaving or cosmetic products comprising:
- a housing defining an induction housing,
- a non-electrically conductive product container for holding the product, said product container being removably received in said induction housing and further comprising an RF module for transmitting and receiving information to and from a microprocessor for remotely controlling electronic circuit,
- an induction coil adjacent to said induction housing for generating an electromagnetic field into said product container,
- an electrically conductive target member in said product container comprising a metallic disc having a cross-section complementally-configured to the cross-section of the product container, the cross-section of the metallic disc being slightly less than the cross-section of the product container thereby permitting said metallic disc to freely descend within said product container as said product is used;
- and
- an electromagnetic field activator mounted in said housing and connected to said induction coil, said target member being heated during a heating cycle for a predetermined time period in response to said electromagnetic field from said induction coil to heat and/or melt the product.
