Applicator device for fusible products

Abstract

The invention relates to an applicator device for fusible products, particularly depilatory wax, having a casing which can be held with one hand and is open at the upper part, delimiting a cavity which, in the form of a receptacle, receives the insertion of a wax-storing container provided with dispensing means. The casing is provided with a plug for its connection to the slots of an electrical socket, the prongs of the plug being permanently connected by low resistivity electrical connection to a heating mechanism essentially powered at the voltage of the mains and arranged in the receptacle facing at least one of the faces of the wax-storing container.

1 . An applicator device for fusible products, particularly for depilatory wax, comprising a casing which can be held with one hand and is open at the upper part, delimiting a cavity which, in the form of a receptacle, receives the insertion of a wax-storing container provided with dispensing means, characterized in that the casing is provided with a plug for its connection to the slots of an electrical socket, the prongs of the plug being permanently connected by means of low resistivity electrical connection means to heating means, essentially powered at the voltage of the mains and arranged in the receptacle facing at least one of the faces of the wax-storing container.
