Abstract
A mechanical epilator (1) for pulling hairs from the skin (P), the epilator (1) including an epilator member (6), e.g., constituted by a roller (60) made up of disks and of blades, that is rotatable about an axis (61) and that is driven by an electric motor (3), in association with a mechanical coupling member (7). The epilator further includes, or is associated with, a moistening member for moistening the skin (P). Finally, it includes a fan system (4), likewise driven by the motor (3) and serving to lower the surface temperature of the skin by the effect of forced evaporation, thereby numbing the skin. Moistening may also be achieved by spraying water onto the skin.
Claims21
A mechanical epilator (1) for pulling out hairs from the skin, the epilator comprising a portable housing (10) containing epilator means (6) for pulling out of hairs from the skin (P), drying means (4a and 4b) for drying the skin, and drive means (3, 7) for driving the epilator means, in combination with means (2, 5, 5') for moistening the skin with a liquid, wherein said drying means dry the skin (P) after the skin has been moistened by said means for moistening so as to obtain evaporation of the liquid, the evaporation producing a cooling of the skin, wherein the cooling of the skin causes at least partial numbness of the skin while hairs are being pulled out of the skin by said epilator means.
