A waxing apparatus is provided including a dispenser having a compartment for holding wax and a tip having an aperture for dispensing wax on a user skin, the tip including a gradually decreasing cross section in the direction towards the aperture; and a heating element mounted over the compartment and over the tip and configured such that temperature inside the tip is higher than temperature inside the compartment.

The invention relates to a glue gun (1), comprising: a housing (2), at least one storage means (5) for storing plastic, a heating device (11, 12), an outlet nozzle (10) for discharging the heated plastic from the glue gun (1), an extrusion unit (9) for shaping the strand (36) having plastic, which strand is to be extruded, a conveying device (17) for conveying the thermoplastic plastic from the storage means (6) to the heating device (11, 12) and through the outlet nozzle (10). The problem addressed by the invention is that it should be possible to store glue in the glue gun (1) even in large amounts and to join the parts to each other with a strand of fiber-reinforced plastic by means of adhesive bonds in such a way that the adhesive bonds withstand even large forces. This problem is solved in that the glue gun (1) comprises a pultrusion unit (8) for consolidating fibers and plastic.

The present invention relates to a stick-type hot-melt adhesive body for use in hot-melt glue guns, the hot-melt adhesive body having at least one first section containing at least one reactive adhesive or consisting thereof and at least one second section containing at least one cleaning agent (purging agent) or consisting thereof, the first section and/or the reactive hot-melt adhesive on the one hand and the second section and/or the cleaning agent on the one hand differing optically and/or visually from one another, in particular being of different colors.

An apparatus for dispensing a liquefied fluid including a housing, a main reservoir at least partially disposed within the housing, wherein the main reservoir is adapted to receive a substance, a heating element positioned to melt the substance into liquefied fluid, a second reservoir in fluid communication with the main reservoir, and a nozzle in fluid communication with the second reservoir, wherein the substance is dispensable from the nozzle as liquefied fluid.

The food dispenser is a configured for use with a viscous foodstuff. The food dispenser is an extrusion device. The food dispenser extrudes the viscous foodstuff. The food dispenser is a temperature controlled device. The food dispenser maintains the viscous foodstuff at a set temperature during the extrusion of the viscous foodstuff. The food dispenser comprises a piping gun, a heating element, and a thermal control. The piping gun contains and extrudes the viscous foodstuff. The heating element heats the viscous foodstuff contained within the piping gun. The thermal control turns the heating element on and off to control the temperature of the viscous foodstuff during extrusion.

A three-dimensional drawing device can include a housing configured for to be held in user's hand, shaped to allow manipulation of the housing like a pen, and configured to accept a strand of thermoplastic material. The drawing device has a nozzle assembly with an exit nozzle and a motor connected to a gear train that engages the strand such that rotation of the motor causes the feed stock to be extruded out of the exit nozzle to form a three-dimensional object. The motor can be controlled using a variable speed control mechanism or first and second actuators, thereby controlling movement of the strand, for example, to advance or retract the strand relative to the nozzle assembly.

Aspects herein relate to an applicator wand that is configured to melt a solid marking material and apply the melted marking material onto a receiving medium. Aspects of the applicator wand include a heating and melting element enclosed within an external casing, a receiving compartment configured to receive one or more solid marking materials, and an applicator tip for applying the melted marking material onto a receiving medium to create a design, drawing, picture, sketch, and the like on the receiving medium.

In a glue stick for a hot-glue device, in particular a glue gun, having an external contour which has a length and a diameter, a given ratio of length to diameter is in the range from 1:1 to 7:1.

A power tool system includes a base unit having a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, a battery charging system, a power control system and a power output connection. A plurality of head units is configured for use with the base unit. Each of the head units includes an electrical input connection. The electrical input connection is configured to be electrically connected to the power output connection when the head unit is attached to the base unit. Each of the head units is configured to use the electrical power provided by the base unit to perform a different tool function.
