Abstract

The invention concerns a hair-plucking head for a motor-driven depilation appliance. The head has a gripping device with at least two diametrically opposed spring-biased gripper jaws which can be pressed against the inside of a hollow cylinder mounted in the casing of the appliance. The jaws operate in conjunction with a control element disposed equiaxially with the cylinder axis. The appliance also has a transmission link between the motor and the cylinder and/or the control element. The jaws are mounted to pivot on pins located inside the cylinder and driven by the control element and a lever assembly.
