Abstract
Clamping heads are disclosed with epilators and clamping hairs, and can include a first clamping unit and at least two spring plates arranged adjacent to each other on a plane traversing an axis of rotation of a stopper plate, each of said spring plate having a first spring plate clamping surface, and said stopper plate is adjacent to said first clamping unit and having a stopper plate clamping surface opposing said first spring plate clamping surface of each said spring plate, such that during rotation of said stopper plate relative to said first clamping unit, said first clamping unit reciprocally moves away from and towards said stopper plate such that a first space between said first spring plate clamping surface and said stopper plate clamping surface opens and closes for clamping hair.
Claims22
A clamping head comprising:
- a first clamping unit including at least two spring plates arranged adjacent to each other on a plane traversing an axis of rotation of a stopper plate, each said spring plate has a first spring plate end, comprising a first spring plate clamping surface, and a second spring plate end, opposing the first spring plate end and comprising a second spring plate clamping surface, wherein the first clamping unit does not engage with any coil spring;
- said stopper plate is adjacent to said first clamping unit and having a stopper plate clamping surface opposing said first spring plate clamping surface of each said spring plate;
- during rotation of said stopper plate relative to said first clamping unit, said first clamping unit reciprocally moves away from and towards said stopper plate such that a first space between said first spring plate clamping surface and said stopper plate clamping surface opens and closes for clamping hair.
An epilator comprising a clamping head and an actuating unit, wherein:
- the clamping head having a first clamping unit including at least two spring plates arranged adjacent to each other on a plane traversing an axis of rotation of a stopper plate, each said spring plate has a first spring plate end, comprising a first spring plate clamping surface, and a second spring plate end, opposing the first spring plate end and comprising a second spring plate clamping surface, wherein the first clamping unit does not engage with any coil spring, said stopper plate is adjacent to said first clamping unit and having a stopper plate clamping surface opposing said first spring plate clamping surface of each said spring plate, a first space is formed between said first spring plate clamping surface of each said spring plate and said stopper plate clamping surface for clamping hair;
- the actuating unit having a plurality of actuators being arranged along said axis of rotation, each of said plurality of actuators has a first actuator end adjacent to each end of each said spring plate of said first clamping unit;
- and
- when said stopper plate rotates about said axis of rotation, each of said plurality of actuators reciprocally moves away from and towards said stopper plate to open and close respective said first space.
