Epilating device

An epilating device for extracting hairs out of a user's skin, comprising:

• a housing;
• an epilating system comprising a plurality of hair-clamping elements arranged adjacent to each other and rotatable relative to the housing about an axis of rotation;
• a compression member arranged to exert a compression force on the epilating system along at least a compression line which extends parallel to a main direction of extension of the axis of rotation;
• and
• a drive system arranged to rotate the hair-clamping elements about a supporting shaft extending along the axis of rotation,
• wherein each hair-clamping element comprises a receiving opening arranged centrally on the hair-clamping element for receiving the supporting shaft,
• wherein the hair-clamping elements are arranged to co-operate in pairs, and wherein, during rotation of the epilating system,
• the hair-clamping elements of each pair of hair-clamping elements are tiltable relative to each other, under influence of said compression force, about only one tilting axis from a first hair-clamping position, wherein two adjacent first hair-clamping areas of the each pair of hair-clamping elements are in mutual clamping engagement, into a second hair-clamping position, wherein two adjacent second hair-clamping areas of the each pair of hair-clamping elements are in mutual clamping engagement, wherein the only one tilting axis is arranged eccentrically relative to the axis of rotation in the supporting shaft, and wherein the second hair-clamping areas are arranged opposite to the first hair-clamping areas relative to the axis of rotation.
