Problems solved by technology

[0003] A disadvantage of the known device is that facial hair removal is only performed in the same way as hair growing on the legs, although the face is a more sensitive part of the body

Embodiment Construction

[0022] figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a depilatory device 1 as generally known in the art. The depilatory device 1 includes a housing 2 and a head 10 detachably mounted to the housing 2 . Inside the housing 2, an energy source 30 such as a (rechargeable) battery (for example a NiCd battery or a Li-ion accumulator) and a motor 20 coupled to the energy source 30 are arranged. In this exemplary embodiment, a motor 20 drives a gear 21 which meshes with a transfer gear 22 . The head 10 comprises an epilation cylinder 11 arranged to rotate about its longitudinal axis A as indicated by the dot-dash line. When the head 10 is coupled to the housing 2 , the transmission gear 22 meshes with a gear 23 coupled to the epilation cylinder 11 . During operation, a rotational motion is transmitted from the motor 20 to the epilation cylinder 11 through a meshing arrangement of gears 21 , 22 and 23 . The depilatory cylinder 11 comprises a plurality of clamping units 12, each comprising a ...

Abstract

The present invention is concerned with an epilation device that comprises a first clamping element (12a) having a first clamping surface (12c), a second clamping element (12b) having a second clamping surface (12d), the first clamping element (12a) and the second clamping element (12b) being arranged to be movable between an open position in which a hair or hairs can enter into a gap between the first clamping surface and the second clamping surface and a first closed position, and at least a spacer (13; 13a; 13b) for defining a distance (d) between the first clamping surface (12c) and the second clamping surface (12d) in the first closed position. Such an epilation device is specifically suited for plucking out terminal hairs while vellus hair, specifically present on facial skin areas, is plucked out due to its lower thickness that relates to the distance (d).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a depilatory device, in particular to a depilatory device having a first clamping element and a second clamping element, wherein during operation the first clamping element and the second clamping element are between an open position and a closed position. Between locations are active. Hair can enter the gap between the first clamping element and the second clamping element in the open position, and the hair is clamped between the first clamping element and the second clamping element in the closed position. Background technique [0002] Depilatory devices as described in the opening paragraph are known in the art. Manually operable tweezers are used, for example, to remove facial hair individually. Electric mechanical hair removal devices are also known, for example WO 2006 / 037392 A1 describes a hair removal device with an electric hair removal head, which has several tweezers units, each with a first clamping elemen...
