Depilating device

A depilating device, comprising:

• a depilating body rotatable about a rotation axis extending in a longitudinal direction with respect to the depilating body, the depilating body comprising at least one hair-catching space, wherein a size of the at least one hair-catching space in the longitudinal direction is variable through compression and extension of the depilating body in the longitudinal direction;
• a rotatable drive shaft coupled to the depilating body and a motor for imposing rotational movement on the depilating body about the rotation axis;
• a first actuator movable in the longitudinal direction and arranged to surround a first portion of the drive shaft adjacent to an end portion supporting the depilating body;
• a second actuator movable in the longitudinal direction and arranged to surround a second portion of the drive shaft further away from the depilating body in the longitudinal direction than the first portion of the drive shaft, wherein the first and second actuators are configured to act on the depilating body to cause compression and extension of the depilating body in the longitudinal direction during the rotational movement of the depilating body about the rotation axis;
• and
• a coil spring configured to couple the first and second actuators to each other, wherein the coil spring is compressible and extensible in the longitudinal direction and is configured to determine a level of a force exerted by the first actuator on the depilating body in the longitudinal direction when a size of the coil spring in the longitudinal direction is varied while the at least one hair-catching space of the depilating body is in a closed condition,
• wherein a force-displacement characteristic of compression and extension of the coil spring in the longitudinal direction is stronger than a force-displacement characteristic of compression and extension of the depilating body in the longitudinal direction.
