Personal care vaporizer device for hands
First Claim
1. A vaporizer device, comprising:
- a base assembly comprising;
a liquid reservoir;
a vaporizer element configured to vaporize liquid fed to said vaporizer from said liquid reservoir, said vaporizer element forming cool vapor by vaporizing said liquid without the prior application of heat to said liquid;
a treatment chamber internal to said base assembly;
an applicator head forming a wall of said treatment chamber;
a mist conduit in fluid communication with said vaporizer element and said applicator head; and
a heater module located within said applicator head for selectively heating said vaporized liquid in said mist conduit before it exits said applicator head.

Abstract
The main housing is defined by a large aperture formed in its side. The side aperture provides access to an internal treatment chamber. The user can insert one or both hands into the chamber through the side aperture to provide therapeutic treatment for the skin of the hands. The device has a removable fluid reservoir seatable into the main housing. Fluid from the reservoir is ported to an internal cool mist vaporizor such as a transducer or other misting apparatus. The mist is driven down a mist conduit by user-adjustable airflow. As the mist passes down the mist conduit, it passes a heating element that allows the user to selectively deliver heated or cool vapor into the treatment chamber. The user may utilize water and/or fluid having additives such as extracts, therapeutic medications and essential oils as the raw material for mist formation.

17. A method for treating the skin of the hands, comprising the steps of:
-
placing one or more hands into a treatment chamber formed in a main housing; generating a mist by applying mechanical vibration to a fluid to vaporize said fluid, said generating conducted within said main housing; selectively heating said vaporized fluid within a heating chamber; and blowing said vaporized fluid down a mist conduit and out through one or more orifices formed in a wall of said treatment chamber, said heating conducted after said mist generating step. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)
