Abstract
Abstract A drawing recipient borne by a body is associated with heating means. A filtering recipient is also associated with heating means and in the operational position is raised and laterally off-set with respect to the drawing recipient. A spout serves as a spill-way from the bottom of the filtering recipient to the drawing recipient. The filtering recipient is pivotably mounted with respect to the body, between the aforesaid operational position in which it overhangs the body, and a fold-away position in which it is brought back over the drawing recipient.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
136 words
A device for wax depilation, comprising a housing having an inner space for receiving a wax drawing vessel carried by said housing, first heating means adjacent the wax drawing vessel, a wax filtering vessel, second heating means adjacent the wax filtering vessel, and a spout communicating with an aperture in a bottom of the wax filtering vessel, and providing a spillway from the wax filtering vessel to the wax drawing vessel, wherein the wax filtering vessel is raised with respect to the wax drawing vessel and is movably mounted with respect to the housing between an operational position in which said wax filtering vessel overhangs the housing and is off-set with respect to the wax drawing vessel, and a folded away position in which the wax filtering vessel is brought back above the wax drawing vessel.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
136 words
A device for wax depilation, comprising a housing having an inner space for receiving a wax drawing vessel carried by said housing, first heating means adjacent the wax drawing vessel, a wax filtering vessel, second heating means adjacent the wax filtering vessel, and a spout communicating with an aperture in a bottom of the wax filtering vessel, and providing a spillway from the wax filtering vessel to the wax drawing vessel, wherein the wax filtering vessel is raised with respect to the wax drawing vessel and is movably mounted with respect to the housing between an operational position in which said wax filtering vessel overhangs the housing and is off-set with respect to the wax drawing vessel, and a folded away position in which the wax filtering vessel is brought back above the wax drawing vessel.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
31 words
A device in accordance with claim 1, wherein the wax filtering vessel is superposed on the wax drawing vessel and pivoted thereon along an axis that is vertical when in use.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
25 words
A device in accordance with claim 2, wherein the pivot is hollow and has axially running therethrough electrical supply leads for the second heating means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
48 words
A device in accordance with claim 2, wherein one portion of the wax filtering vessel is located above the wax drawing vessel even in the operational position, and wherein the spout is provided in said portion of the wax filtering vessel and protrudes into the wax drawing vessel.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
46 words
A device in accordance with claim 1, comprising a thermostat beneath a bottom of the wax drawing vessel to regulate the temperature of wax contained therein, and means for guiding wax flowing down from the wax filtering vessel to the bottom of the wax drawing vessel.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
60 words
A device in accordance with claim 5, wherein said guiding means comprise a partition setting apart a prechamber in the wax drawing vessel, said prechamber being positioned vertically below the spout when the device is in the operational position, and wherein the prechamber opens into the wax drawing vessel via at least one opening in the base of the partition.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
87 words
A device in accordance with claim 6, in which the wax filtering vessel is superposed on the wax drawing vessel and hinge-mounted thereon by a pivot lying along a vertical axis while the spout is carried by an area of the wax filtering vessel permanently located above the wax drawing vessel and protrudes therein, wherein, when folded away, the spout lies outside the prechamber, an upper part of the partition being provided with a cut-away for free movement of the spout into and out of the prechamber.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
22 words
A device in accordance with claim 6, wherein the prechamber is covered by a plate carrying the wax filtering vessel pivoting means.
Claim 10
Independent Claim
130 words
A device for wax depilation, comprising a wax drawing vessel, first heating means adjacent the wax drawing vessel, thermostat means adjacent a bottom of the wax drawing vessel and adapted to regulate the temperature in the wax drawing vessel at a first temperature level, a wax filtering vessel, which, in use, is raised with respect to the wax drawing vessel, while a user's access to the wax drawing vessel is left clear laterally of the wax filtering vessel, second heating means adjacent the wax filtering vessel and adapted to generate in the wax filtering vessel a second temperature level higher than the first temperature level, and wax guiding means extending from a bottom region of the wax filtering vessel and opening in the wax drawing vessel adjacent the bottom thereof.
Claim 11
Independent Claim
130 words
A device for wax depilation, comprising a wax drawing vessel, first heating means adjacent the wax drawing vessel, thermostat means adjacent a bottom of the wax drawing vessel and adapted to regulate the temperature in the wax drawing vessel at a first temperature level, a wax filtering vessel, which, in use, is raised with respect to the wax drawing vessel, while a user's access to the wax drawing vessel is left clear laterally of the wax filtering vessel, second heating means adjacent the wax filtering vessel and adapted to generate in the wax filtering vessel a second temperature level higher than the first temperature level, and wax guiding means extending from a bottom region of the wax filtering vessel and opening in the wax drawing vessel adjacent the bottom thereof.
Claim 12
Independent Claim
112 words
A device for wax depilation comprising a wax drawing vessel, first heating means provided adjacent the wax drawing vessel and adapted to generate in the wax drawing vessel a first temperature level, a prechamber laterally of the wax drawing vessel and communicating with the latter adjacent the bottom thereof, a wax filtering vessel which, at least in use, is positioned above the prechamber, leaves clear a user's access to the wax drawing vessel and has a spout extending from a bottom of the wax filtering vessel into the prechamber, and second heating means adjacent the wax drawing vessel and adapted to generate, in the wax filtering vessel, a second higher temperature level.
Claim 13
Independent Claim
112 words
A device for wax depilation comprising a wax drawing vessel, first heating means provided adjacent the wax drawing vessel and adapted to generate in the wax drawing vessel a first temperature level, a prechamber laterally of the wax drawing vessel and communicating with the latter adjacent the bottom thereof, a wax filtering vessel which, at least in use, is positioned above the prechamber, leaves clear a user's access to the wax drawing vessel and has a spout extending from a bottom of the wax filtering vessel into the prechamber, and second heating means adjacent the wax drawing vessel and adapted to generate, in the wax filtering vessel, a second higher temperature level.
