Abstract
An electric wax applicator comprises a housing, a pad defining a bottom portion of the housing, a sponge removably joined to a lower surface of the pad, an electric motor provided in the housing and having a drive shaft, a crank member connected to the drive shaft and including a balancer portion and an eccentric shaft portion which has a center deviated slightly from an axis of rotation of the drive shaft and is rotatably received in a bearing of the pad, and a pad support of resilient material located between an inner horizontal partition wall of the housing and the pad. The pad support may include first supporting members joined both to the pad and to the partition wall of the housing and second supporting members joined only to either of the pad and the partition wall of the housing. When the wax applicator is switched on, the crank member rotates together with the drive shaft. While the crank member is rotating, the eccentric shaft portion thereof vibrates to cause the pad to vibrate in the plane in which the pad is located.
