Abstract
A depilatory device comprises a housing having a side adapted to be juxtaposed with an area from which hair is to be pulled and an elastically bendable bar having at least one edge formed with a plurality of slits opening generally parallel to the side. The slits normally are closed and the bar is bendable to open the slits. A drive in the housing periodically flexes the bar generally parallel to the side and thereby opens and closes the slits so that hairs engaged in the slits when open are trapped when the slits close and can then be pulled out by moving the housing and bar relative to the area from which the hair sprouts.
