Body hair treating implement

Abstract

A body hair treating implement includes two opposed comb tooth plates each having a plurality of comb teeth; an electrical heating wire which extends between the comb tooth plates, and that is arranged to generate red heat due to electrical power supplied thereto, and to burn and cut body hair combed with the comb teeth; and a illumination device for illuminating front of the comb tooth plates and the inside thereof when the body hair is being burnt and cut by the electrical heating wire.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a body hair treating implement which can be advantageously used to cut or dress unwanted body hair of arms or legs, etc., or underarm hair, before e.g., one wears a bikini.

Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a body hair treating implement with improved functions and operability. The implement includes two opposed comb tooth plates with plural comb teeth, an electrical heating wire extending between the comb tooth plates, and an illumination device for illuminating the front of the comb tooth plates and the inside when burning and cutting body hair. The implement also includes a grip portion extending upward from the base implement body, and a vibration device for vibrating at least the comb tooth plates when burning and cutting body hair. The invention provides a more effective and efficient tool for body hair treatment."

Problems solved by technology

The sharp tips of the cut hair can easily penetrate through the material of the swimsuit, etc., and protrude out of the material, or cause the wearer to feel pain upon touching.

With this arrangement, when electrical power is supplied to the nichrome wire, the nichrome wire generates red-heat, and burns and cuts the body hair brought into contact therewith.
