  • Patent number: 6709180
    Abstract: An ergonomic wax pen has an ergonomic case (1) with optionally finger-squeeze control of pressure to force out molten wax (7) from a wax chamber (6) through an extrusion nozzle at an extrusion end (3) to which predetermined application tips (21, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28) can be attached for predetermined wax applications. The ergonomic case includes a contoured taper from a major periphery (2) proximate the extrusion end to an oppositely disposed minor periphery (4) that is proximate a base end (5). A wax heater (10, 18, 19) is positioned externally from the wax chamber which is pressurized selectively with a pressurizer. The base end can include an orthogonal base plate (11) on which the ergonomic case can be positioned uprightly when not in use and with which the ergonomic case can be prevented from rolling when laid down.
