Abstract
A depilating appliance comprising a pair of plucking-out jaws (5) having registering edges. The jaws comprise the ends of two arms (20) hingedly interconnected at a point intermediate their length in the fashion of the two arms of a pair of pliers. A driving member (3) is coupled to the hinged arms (20) and carries the plucking-out jaws and is adapted to impart to the arms a reciprocating movement of translation along an axis (X-Y) parallel to the registering edges of the jaws. The driving member is driven in turn by a motor housed inside a casing of the appliance. Control cams engage the ends (28) of the hinged arms (20) which are remote from the plucking-out jaws. These cams are adapted to move the jaws toward and away from each other during the translation of the hinged arms assembly in one or the other direction. The cams comprise a pair of guideways engaged each by the corresponding end (28) of one of the arms, these ends (28) being adapted to slide along the guideways when the hinged arm assembly (20) is driven for translation in one and the other direction.
