Abstract
A hair removing apparatus (1) comprising two co-operating hair processing members (17, 19), formed by plate-shaped carriers and movable relatively to each other in a direction of movement (X). The two carriers are positioned with respect to each other, viewed in a Z direction substantially perpendicular to the carriers, by a plurality of positioning members (29), which are spaced apart in the direction of movement. At least one of the two carriers has a comparatively low bending stiffness. As a result, a comparatively small and uniform gap is present between the two carriers, and the friction force acting on the carriers in a direction parallel to the direction of movement is also comparatively small. In one embodiment the positioning members (29) each have an S-shaped or C-shaped tongue (31), which is provided on a third carrier (35), the first and second carriers (21, 27) being enclosed between the third carrier and contact elements (41) of the tongues.
