Abstract
A notch is provided between a cylinder supporting unit and a body of a pedestal, thereby applying elasticity to the cylinder supporting unit. With this structure, a leaf spring and the cylinder supporting unit corresponding to the leaf spring can always be in contact with or approach each other, and a noise generated when the cylinder supporting unit and the body of the pedestal collides against each other can be suppressed.
Claims5
A hair removing device comprising:
- a substantially cylindrical rotation cylinder that rotates around a rotation axis;
- a fixing pawl that is fixed to the rotation cylinder and that has a tip end exposed from an outer periphery of the rotation cylinder;
- a movable pawl that can rock in an axial direction of the rotation axis, that has a tip end exposed from the outer periphery of the rotation cylinder, and that is configured such that a state where the tip end of the movable pawl abuts against the tip end of the fixing pawl and a state where these tip ends are separated are switched by a rocking motion of the movable pawl;
- an open/close lever that is inserted into the rotation cylinder such that the open/close lever can reciprocate in an axial direction of the rotation cylinder, and that rocks the movable pawl;
- a cam that reciprocates the open/close lever in the axial direction while rotating around the rotation axis,
- a pedestal that rotatably supports the rotation cylinder and the cam;
- and
- a spring that biases the cam toward the open/close lever to press the cam against the open/close lever, wherein
- a cylinder supporting unit as a portion of the pedestal that supports the rotation cylinder and the cam can rock in association with the spring with respect to a body of the pedestal.
