Abstract
The present invention relates to an epilator comprising a holder and a deformable unitary epilating element prestressed into a curved configuration and mounted rotatably on said holder, said unitary element being made up of a plurality of adjacent discs connected together by spacers and hinge elements arranged in such a way as to form a pivot line for two adjacent discs which, when said unitary element is being used by being rotated, each pivot with their neighbor and form a diverging region where certain discs are parted from each other leaving open spaces, and a converging compression region where certain discs are pressed against each other, forming tweezers which pinch and remove the hairs from the skin.
