  • Patent number: 5643287
    Abstract: A motor is disposed within a housing. The motor includes a motor shaft. A spring includes a small diameter end and a large diameter end. The motor shaft is inserted into the small diameter end of the spring such that the spring tightly engages the motor shaft. A hook is positioned on a free end of the spring. A spring wire is connected to the housing. A flexible member engages the spring wire and the hook. The motor is connected to an alternating polarity direct current power source for rotating the motor shaft in alternating directions, thereby coiling the flexible member in alternating directions to trap hair within coils formed by the flexible member, then pull the hair, and then release the hair. The alternating polarity direct current power source is manually switched to turn the motor on and off. The alternating polarity direct current power source includes at least one electronic circuit to convert incoming line voltage alternating current to lower voltage alternating polarity direct current.
