Abstract
The depilating apparatus comprises a series of parallel disks (2) fixed on a hub (3) driven in rotation by an electric motor, and blades (9) arranged between the disks, and rods (10) for bringing said blades (9) into contact with the periphery (2a) of the disks (2). The hub (3) comprises, between the disks (2), a series of notches (11) which each retain one end of a blade (9), each rod (10) comprising a series of notches (12) open towards the notches (11) of the hub, each notch (12) of a rod (10) retaining a part of a blade (9). The notches (11, 12) are shaped so as to permit a pivoting movement of the blades (9) between a position remote from the disks (2) and a position in contact with the periphery (2a) of the latter. Use for removing hair from the skin.
Claims16
A hand held depilating apparatus comprising:
- a housing (1);
- an elongated hub (3) supported by said housing for rotation about the longitudinal axis of said hub;
- a plurality of parallel disks (2) fixed to said hub, said disks being separated by longitudinal spaces and each having a periphery (2a) spaced from said hub, said hub having at least one hub notch (11) in each of said longitudinal spaces;
- a plurality of blades (9), at least one such blade (9) for each of said disks, each of said blades having one end received in said hub notch (11) and another end adapted to contact one of said disks near the periphery (2b) thereof;
- and
- means for bringing said blades (9) into contact with the periphery (2a) of said disks (2) and separating them therefrom alternately as the disks rotate with said hub, said means including at least one rod (10) extending parallel to the axis of said hub and supported for longitudinal sliding movement, said rod having rod notches (12) for retaining a part of each blade (9) located between said one end and said other end, said hub notches (11) and said rod notches (12) being shaped to permit pivoting movement of said blades (9) upon longitudinal movement of said rod between a position spaced from the respective disks (2) and a position in contact with the periphery (2a) of the disks.
