## Abstract

The Hair Removal Device may be a wall mounted assembly of spines or tentacles projecting outward from the wall and disposed to form a plurality of finger rows therebetween. The tentacles being a flexible, resilient material adapted to urge hair on a user's finger to engage a tentacle and release from the finger whereby the hair follicle is captured and retained until cleaned for proper disposal.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A hair removal device comprising a body and a plurality of tentacle clusters, the body having a body top and a body bottom, a wall attachment on the body bottom, each of the plurality of tentacle clusters comprising a cluster base and a plurality of tentacles, the cluster base on the body top, each one of the plurality of tentacles comprising a first tentacle end and a second tentacle end, each of the first tentacle ends on the respective cluster base, each of the first tentacle ends spaced from the body top, each of the second tentacle ends spaced from the cluster base, each of the second tentacle ends spaced from the body top, the tentacles extending radially from the cluster base at a variety of angles, the plurality of clusters disposed in a predetermined pattern to create an index finger row, a middle finger row and a ring finger row.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The hair removal device of claim 1, wherein the body, wall attachment and plurality of tentacles are integrally molded together.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The hair removal device of claim 1, wherein the some of the plurality of tentacle clusters are grouped together between the index finger row and the middle finger row, other of the plurality of tentacle clusters are grouped together between the middle finger row and the ring finger row, each of the plurality of tentacle clusters in spaced relation to the other tentacle clusters.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The hair removal device of claim 1, wherein each one of the plurality of tentacles projects radially from the respective cluster base.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The hair removal device of claim 4, wherein each second end is in spaced relation to each other second end.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The hair removal device of claim 1, wherein the wall attachment further comprises a plurality of suction cups on the body.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The hair removal device of claim 6, wherein the plurality of tentacles are integrally molded with the body.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The hair removal device of claim 1, wherein the body further comprises a perimeter, the index finger row is disposed on the body top extending from the perimeter.

### Claim 9

A hair removal device comprising a body, a plurality of tentacle clusters and a plurality of suction cups, the body comprising a perimeter, a body top and a body bottom, the plurality of tentacle clusters on the body top, the plurality of suction cups on the body bottom, each of the plurality of tentacle clusters comprising a cluster base, an axis and a plurality of tentacles, each cluster base on the body top, the cluster base between the body and each one of the plurality of tentacles, the axis generally perpendicular to the base, each of the plurality of tentacles having a first end on the cluster base, a shaft and a second end spaced from the cluster base, the first end spaced from the body top, the shaft of each of the plurality of tentacles oriented radially from the cluster base, each shaft extending from the cluster base at one of a variety of angles to the axis, a plurality of finger rows disposed between some of the plurality of tentacle clusters, the plurality of finger rows on the perimeter, some of the plurality of tentacles extending into one of the plurality of finger rows such that the second end of each of the plurality of tentacles is in spaced relation to the body top.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The hair removal device of claim 9, wherein the body, clusters and suction cups are integrally molded together.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The hair removal device of claim 10, wherein the clusters are formed of a resilient material.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The hair removal device of claim 11, wherein the resilient material is chosen from the group of latex, rubber, vinyl, nitrile, silicone, or neoprene.

### Claim 13

A hair removal device comprising:
a body having a body top, a perimeter and a body bottom;
a plurality of tentacle clusters, each of the plurality of tentacle clusters having an axis, a cluster base and a plurality of tentacles, each cluster base on the body top, each one of the plurality of tentacles having a first end on the cluster base and a second end spaced from the cluster base, each one of the plurality of tentacles spaced from the body top, each of the plurality of tentacles extending from the cluster base at one of a variety of angles to the axis;
a suction cup, the suction cup having a base and a cup, the base on the body bottom, the cup on the base, the cup spaced from the body bottom; and
a plurality of finger rows disposed between adjacent ones of the plurality of tentacle clusters, each one of the plurality of finger rows spaced from each other one of the plurality of finger rows, each of the plurality of finger rows on the perimeter, one of the plurality of tentacle clusters between each one of the plurality of finger rows and the other ones of the plurality of finger rows.

### Claim 14 (depends on 13)
