Abstract
A hair removal wax application system is composed of an applicator (1) comprising a tank (8) designed for accommodating a volume of hair removal wax (20). The tank (8) has an opening (14) at least partially closed by a distribution ring (7, 9) for the wax (20). There is a seat (2) on which the applicator (1) can be placed. The applicator (1) can be disconnected from the seat (2) in order to be used as a self-contained apparatus when applying molten wax (20) on the zone to be depilated. A heater melts the hair removal wax (20) in the applicator's (1) tank (8) and is supplied with electric current from the seat (2). The heater is an inductor (4) rigidly connected to the seat (2) and an armature (6, 18, 19) connected rigidly to the distribution ring (7, 9). The distribution ring (7, 9) is rotatable in the tank (8) and has a diameter between 60 and 95% of the greatest internal dimension of the tank.
