ABSTRACT:
A device for removing body hair, which includes a housing a hair-plucking portion which is rotatably mounted to the housing. The hair-plucking portion includes one or more disc assemblies, each of which includes a pair of complementary discs, each of which has one or more radially extending arms which terminate in a flattened peripheral portion. When the corresponding portions of the two discs are pressed together, they form a trap for the hair. The disc assemblies also include a hub which accommodates a pair of discs, one on each of its axial faces. The hub has shoulders for engaging the arms of each of the discs so as to impart rotational motion to the discs upon the rotation of the hub. The hub also has at pairs of protrusions which extend axially beyond the plane of arms of each disc. The hub further has an edge which is perpendicular to its axis such that each pair of arms of the pair of discs is pivotable about the edge so as to alternately bring the corresponding flattened peripheral portions of the discs together to form a trap and apart to eject the removed hair. The hubs may be mounted on a fixed curved shaft and may be connected so that each hub transfers the rotational motion to the adjoining hub. Alternatively, the hubs may be mounted on a rotatable straight shaft which imparts rotational motion to each hub.
