Abstract

According to the present invention, there is provided a depilatory device, comprising a manually grippable casing, having an electric motor; and an electric switch carried on said casing for energizing or de-energizing said motor. A hair plucking body is mounted onto said casing, having an exposed section plate, having a plurality of extended rotatable pins mounted into slide bearings on the circumference of said exposed plate. A belt is rotatable by said motor's to run around said extended rotatable pins continuously, so that when the depilatory device is placed in touch with body hair, said hair will be caught in gaps between said extended pins and said rotatable belt, clamping the hair towards the rotation of said pins and belt, thus pulling said hair out along the plate.
