ABSTRACT:
A depilation apparatus comprising a number of pinching discs (39, 119, 143) which are coupled to a drive shaft (7, 145) by means of a coupling member (43, 123, 155) and which are pivotable by means of a pivot member (87, 89) about a pivot axis (115, 141) extending transverse to the drive shaft (7, 145) into a pinching position in which the pinching discs (39, 119, 143) exert a pinching force on one another near a depilation opening (3). The coupling members (43, 123, 155) are each provided with a rotund pivot guide (45, 125, 153), so that the pinching discs (39, 119, 143) are coupled to the drive shaft (7, 145) substantially without play in a radial direction in any position. In a special embodiment, the drive shaft (7) is provided with three parallel rods (11) and the coupling member (43) is arranged between the rods (11), whereby the coupling member (43) bears on each rod (11) with a lateral surface which forms part of a spherical surface tangent to each rod (11). Due to the use of the coupling members (43, 123, 155), the pinching discs (39, 119, 143) have a high degree of tilting freedom relative to the drive shaft (7, 145) and are coupled to the drive shaft (7, 145) without play in any tilting position.
