ABSTRACT:
A portable appliance for heating towels and for dispensing heated fluid such as body oil has a suitcase-like housing with hinge-connected base and lid components that define a plurality of compartments for heating towels and liquid when the housing is "open" and the appliance is "set up" for operation, and for receiving components and accessories of the appliance so that the appliance can be conveniently stored and transported when the housing is "closed." A relatively large main compartment is defined by the housing for receiving and suitably heating towels therein for use in concert with the administration of a massage. "Wet" or "dry" towel heating can be carried out within the main heating compartment. A "wringer" for extracting unwanted moisture from towels is defined by a housing portion that drains into the main compartment, and by a towel compressor member that is pivotally connected to the housing. One accessory is a dispensing container for heated liquid, which fits into a special heating element equipped well of the housing, with the container being configured to closely receive the heating element to ensure rapid heating of the contents of the container. Another accessory is a mask that can be connected to the appliance to duct moist, heated air from a steam well of the main compartment to the vicinity of one's face for breathing to relieve cold symptoms.
