Abstract

The disclosed depilation apparatus comprises movable members for pulling out hair to be removed, said members being driven by an electric motor housed inside a casing capable of being hand-held. The pulling out members provided in said apparatus consist of two movably mounted combs in translation with respect to the same axis (X-Y) has the motor-actuated driving member (3), and which is imparted with an alternating translation motion. However, only one of said combs is coupled with said driving member, the other comb being mounted idle. Furthermore, the teeth of both combs are arranged in a same plane and interleaved between each other with a certain gap in order to make possible the pinching and pulling out of hair to be removed. Said apparatus is intended to be used for remove hair from the skin.
