Abstract
The invention relates to a depilation apparatus of the type with which liquid wax is applied to the skin, which wax is removed together with the hairs after solidification, the apparatus comprising a housing (1) with a reservoir (2) for holding a wax block (3), which reservoir is in connection with an outlet opening (4) in a wall of the housing, the apparatus being provided with a rotatable distributor roller (5) near the outlet opening for applying the liquid wax to the skin. To obtain shorter heating-up times as well as a good sealing for the wax block, the apparatus is provided with a heater element (7) located between the end of the reservoir (2) and the distributor roller (5), while a heat-conducting sealing (10) for the wax block is present near the end of the reservoir (2) facing the distributor roller.
