Abstract
A self-contained heated wax treatment apparatus includes an outer shell and a rack disposed inside the outer shell. The rack includes a receptacle holder and at least one heater holder. At least a first receptacle is mounted to the receptacle holder of the rack. The first receptacle contains a heat activated substance. A heater is mounted to the heater holder of the rack in thermal conductive contact with the first receptacle. Activation of the heater causes heat to flow to the first receptacle and activate the heat activated substance inside the receptacle.
Claims19
An apparatus for preparing a self-contained heated treatment receptacle for use by a subject, comprising:
- an outer shell comprising an inner surface;
- a rack disposed inside the outer shell, the rack comprising a receptacle holder and a heater holder;
- at least a first receptacle mounted to the receptacle holder of the rack, the at least first receptacle comprising a substance to be heated, wherein an outer wall surface of the at least first receptacle faces the heater holder and an opposite wall surface of the at least first receptacle faces the inner surface of the outer shell;
- and
- a gas generating heater in a chamber of the heater holder of the rack, wherein the heater further comprises a reactant mixable with an activator to produce an exothermic reaction that generates heat and gases that fill the heater;
- wherein the exothermic reaction and produced gases cause heat to flow to the at least first receptacle and heat the substance to be heated inside the at least first receptacle;
- and
- wherein a compression force is delivered by the heater to the outer surface of the at least first receptacle as the heater fills with the gases so that the opposite wall surface of the at least first receptacle is caused to be squeezed against an inner surface of the outer shell and is in thermal conductive contact with the heater.
An apparatus for preparing a self-contained heated treatment receptacle for use by a subject, comprising:
- a rack disposed inside an outer shell;
- a first receptacle mounted to the rack, the first receptacle comprising a substance to be heated;
- an inflatable heater mounted in a chamber of the rack, the inflatable heater comprising activator and reactant mixable with each other to produce an exothermic reaction that generates heat and gases;
- wherein an outer wall surface of the first receptacle faces the inflatable heater and an opposite wall surface of the first receptacle faces away from the inflatable heater, and
- wherein gases produced by the exothermic reaction inflate the inflatable heater causing the heater to inflate and squeeze the first receptacle so a compressive force is delivered from the heater to the first receptacle so that at least one outer wall of the heater is conductively connected to the first receptacle causing heat to flow from the first receptacle and heat the substance to be heated.
An apparatus for preparing a self-contained heated treatment receptacle for use by a subject, comprising:
- an outer shell comprising an inner surface;
- a rack disposed inside the outer shell, the rack comprising a receptacle holder and a heater holder;
- at least a first receptacle mounted to the receptacle holder of the rack, the at least first receptacle comprising a substance to be heated;
- a heater disposed in a chamber of the heater holder of the rack, wherein the heater further comprises a reactant mixable with an activator to produce an exothermic reaction that generates heat and gases that fill the heater;
- and
- a compression member disposed inside the outer shell for delivering a compression force that causes the heater and the at least first receptacle to be squeezed together;
- wherein an outer wall surface of the at least first receptacle faces the heater holder and an opposite wall surface of the at least first receptacle faces the compression member;
- wherein the exothermic reaction and generated gases cause heat to flow to the at least first receptacle and heat the substance to be heated inside the at least first receptacle;
- wherein the heater compresses against the at least one receptacle as the heater fills with the gases so that the at least first receptacle is in a sustained thermal conductive connection with the heater.
