Abstract (en)

The present invention provides a depilatory device comprising a housing (1); a first rotary element (3) mounted with respect to said housing (1) for free rotational movement about an axis (5) thereof; a second rotary element (10) mounted with respect to said housing (1) so as to be rotatable about said axis (5); substantially circular end surfaces (4, 11) of said elements (3, 10); and a drive motor (17) mounted in said housing (1) and coupled to said second element (10) for rotating it about said axis (5) and axially displacing it with respect to said first element (3) so that said end surfaces (4, 11) move towards and away from each other; the arrangement being such that hair interposed between said surfaces are gripped thereby when said surfaces (4, 11) come closer together and are plucked upon continued rotation of said elements (3, 10) during the period of closest approach of said surfaces.
