ABSTRACT:
A hair removal device having a plurality of tweezers mounted on a rotary head and arranged to open and close during rotation, to trap and pluck skin hair over a relatively wide area. In a preferred embodiment, the rotary head multi-tweezer design is provided as a hand-held, motor-powered depilatory device having a rotor formed with radially extending support channels. A plurality of tweezers are mounted on each support channel, each tweezer comprising a pivotable element and a fixed element, which are operated by a slidable actuator. As the rotary head rotates about a shaft, the slidable actuator moves in accordance with the shape of a cam in synchronous fashion, causing it to slide radially inward and outward along the support channel, and forcing the tweezers open and closed. When passed over the skin, the tweezers on the rotary head operate in two-sided fashion by opening and closing over a wide area, and skin hair in this area is grasped and plucked as the tweezers close, performing the hair removal function.
