Abstract: A hair removal wax application system is composed of an applicator (1) comprising a tank (8) designed for accommodating a volume of hair removal wax (20). The tank (8) has an opening (14) at least partially closed by a distribution ring (7, 9) for the wax (20). There is a seat (2) on which the applicator (1) can be placed. The applicator (1) can be disconnected from the seat (2) in order to be used as a self-contained apparatus when applying molten wax (20) on the zone to be depilated. A heater melts the hair removal wax (20) in the applicator's (1) tank (8) and is supplied with electric current from the seat (2). The heater is an inductor (4) rigidly connected to the seat (2) and an armature (6, 18, 19) connected rigidly to the distribution ring (7, 9). The distribution ring (7, 9) is rotatable in the tank (8) and has a diameter between 60 and 95% of the greatest internal dimension of the tank.

Abstract: A painless electric stimulation appliance for body care comprises at least one stimulation electrode (24, 25) and a vibrating part (23) positioned in the vicinity of the electrode, which mechanically prompts the skin in vibration in association with the electric stimulation. The vibrating part is mechanically actuated by the rotation around an axis (18) of a rotating element (22) which is in turn driven mechanically in rotation.

Abstract: A preferably hand-held hair treating and/or setting apparatus comprising, arranged around a main body, a handle (1), a hair curling member (2) with a longitudinal axis (x-x'), and at least one movable clip (10) for clamping a lock of hair against the hair curling member (2), the clip (10) being freely movable along the curling member (2) between two abutment positions so that it can draw out the treated lock (M') in its initial treatment condition. The apparatus is useful for setting hair.

Abstract: An accessory (9) integral with the blowing extremity (8) of a hair dryer (1). The accessory is traversed by the air blown out of the hair dryer to dry the hair. The accessory includes elements intended to be in contact with the hair, such as rigid bristles (11) or fingers (12). The accessory is composed of vibrating means (13, 14) which cause the elements (11, 12) to vibrate during hair drying.

Abstract: A steam appliance for treating and/or shaping hair, the appliance being composed of: a housing (1) having a handle; a roller body (2) for rolling up locks of hair, the body being secured at one end (5a) to the housing and being limited towards its other end by a partition wall (5b), the body including holes to pass steam produced by a steam production member and conveyed to the roller body (2) by a steam delivery member (20); and a clamp (10) for clamping a lock of hair on the roller body (2). The steam delivery member is a tubular element (20) mounted coaxially inside and extending along the roller body (2) from an inlet (20a) situated in the housing to a terminal end remote from the inlet, the element (20) including at least one steam delivery orifice (21) situated at its terminal end in such a manner as to convey an inlet flow of steam inside the tubular element (20) substantially along its entire length to be released in the vicinity of the partition wall (5b) via the orifice (21).
