ABSTRACT:
A depilating device removes hairs from the skin of a user and includes a carrier mounting a series of movable and fixed pinching plates arranged along a carrier axis in an alternating relation and in a closely adjacent relation to form small clearances between the adjacent movable and fixed pinching plates for entrapping hairs therebetween. A drive means is connected to drive the carrier to move the movable and fixed plates about the carrier axis. The movable plates are operatively connected to a shuttle means which is movable together with the carrier about the carrier axis but are shiftable therealong relative to the carrier so as to displace the movable plates along the carrier axis to repeat clamping the hairs between the adjacent pairs of the movable and fixed plates as the carrier moves about the carrier axis, whereby plucking the hairs from the skin. Also included in the device is a positive-return cam means which is connected to the shuttle means and is caused to rotate relative to the shuttle means about a cam axis parallel with the carrier axis so as to shift it along the carrier axis for displacing the movable plates relative to the fixed pinching plates. The positive-return cam means is connected to the carrier through the shuttle means and the movable plates in such a mutual supporting relation as to restrict the movements of the positive-return cam means and the carrier relative to each other in the direction parallel to the carrier axis.
