Abstract
A depilatory device having a manually grippable casing and enclosing a motor for driving a rotary roller (1) around a central shaft (10) disposed behind a window provided in the casing. The roller has one or several rows of tweezers, each row being formed by a first series of side-by-side, parallel movable blades (20) interposed with a second series of fixed disks or equally movable blades (40), as well as control elements (56-85) for moving the movable blades in translation in the longitudinal direction of the shaft so as to press them against the others in order to grasp the hairs to be extracted, then separate them. The blades (20, 40) of at least one series are cross-shaped, one pair of opposite arms (23) being at least partly curved in one longitudinal direction, the other orthogonal pair of opposite arms (23') being at least partly curved in the other direction, these blades being held by their respective support (10, 30) in their base (21, 41) at the junction point of the arms.
