Abstract
A device for removing unwanted hair, including a hair-plucking assembly and a vibrating assembly adjacent the hair-plucking assembly, wherein the device removes hair by uprooting it while vibrating the skin to minimize discomfort.
Claims17
A hair removal device comprising:
- a hair-plucking assembly including at least two arms, wherein one arm may be pressed against the other arm to form a trap for hair;
- and
- a vibrating assembly attached to said hair-plucking assembly and including a vibrating head coupled to a drive gear such that rotation of the drive gear drives said vibrating head.
A hair removal device comprising:
- a rotatable hair-plucking assembly comprising at least two arms, wherein one arm may be pressed against the other arm to form at least one trap for hair as said hair-plucking assembly is rotated
- a power system comprising a motor and a drive gear, said power system being operatively coupled to said hair-plucking assembly for rotating said hair-plucking assembly;
- and
- a vibrating assembly comprising a first vibrating head coupled to said drive gear of said power system such that rotation of said drive gear drives said first vibrating head.
1 more element
A hair removal device comprising:
- (A) a housing;
- (B) a hair-plucking assembly rotatably mounted to a curved shaft mounted in the housing, wherein said hair-plucking assembly includes six identical disc assemblies, each of which comprise:
- (i) an internal disc assembly comprising an insert disc, having three arms, mounted on a disc carrier;
- (ii) a pair of outer discs mounted on said internal disc assembly, having three pairs of arms, each of which may be alternately pressed against the three arms of said internal disc to form six traps for hair,
- wherein said disc carrier comprises:
- (a) three U-shaped members for engaging said three pairs of arms of said pair of outer discs so as to impart rotational motion to said pair of outer discs upon rotation of said internal disc assembly about an axis of said internal disc assembly;
- (b) three pairs of pinchers which extend axially from each of said three U-shaped members beyond the plane of said arms of each pair of said outer discs for imparting a clamping force on at least one adjacent disc carrier;
- and
- (c) engagement means for engaging at least said one adjacent disc carrier so that rotational movement of said one disc carrier imparts rotational motion to at least said one adjacent disc carrier;
- (C) a power system for rotating said hair-plucking assembly, comprising a motor and a drive gear;
- and
- (D) a vibrating assembly comprising a vibrating head mounted to said drive gear such that rotation of said drive gear effects linear movement of said vibrating head.
