Abstract

The invention is directed to an epilating appliance, having a casing serving as a handle, a motor received in the casing, as well as a shaft carried in the casing and driven by the motor, the shaft having mounted thereon in a manner preventing relative rotation a set of circumferentially closed, relatively spaced circular disks arranged parallel to each other, and further having a casing opening exposing part of the circumference of the disks. The disks cooperate in pairs, each pair constituting a plucking device. On opposed faces of the disks, partial space-reducing means are provided. In the area between the motor and the shaft and parallel to the shaft, an axle is disposed in the casing having spreader rollers rotatably mounted thereon. The spreader rollers engage with part of their circumference in the space intermediate the disks of each plucking device.
