Abstract (en)

[origin: US5702403A] PCT No. PCT/EP94/00653 Sec. 371 Date Nov. 17, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date Nov. 17, 1994 PCT Filed Mar. 4, 1994 PCT Pub. No. WO94/21151 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 29, 1994The invention is directed to an epilating appliance for the removal of human body hairs which is adapted to be held in a user's hand and guided over the sections of the skin to be treated. The epilating appliance includes a cylinder rotary about a center axis, the cylinder periphery being formed by at least one group of relatively fixed blades and at least one group Of relatively movable gripping elements. The blades and the gripping elements of a group are arranged adjacent to each other at least in pairs, and the groups are in successive arrangement on the cylinder when viewed in a direction of rotation of the cylinder. The gripping elements are adapted to approach each other and recede from each other at least in pairs, closing and, respectively, opening a gripping aperture in the process. Adjacent blades combine to form a groove of a width tapering in wedge or funnel shape, with at least one groove end section of reduced groove width being associated with one gripping aperture each.
