Abstract: A hand-held epilation device for removal of unwanted hair by a user which includes a body portion, arm, slider mechanism, and a rotatable flexible member. The slider mechanism is held under tension. The rotatable flexible member is held under tension and rotates which coils and uncoils two portions of the rotatable flexible member to grasp and remove unwanted hairs. The slider mechanism moves along the arm to maintain a consistent angle between two portions of the rotatable flexible member allowing one portion of the rotatable flexible member to act as an aid to help the user target removal of unwanted hair and permitting more precise hair removal.

Abstract: This invention provides both a method and an apparatus for hair removal using thread. Using the concept of rotational motion, this method improves upon the ancient art of threading by using a rotational mechanism that allows for threading with only one manipulation point instead of the conventional tour manipulation points as well as one or more threads to be used as a guide lo help identity and/or isolate hair to be removed. With these enhancements, a self-threading apparatus is invented that is more precise and less unwieldy than existing self-threading apparatuses. It minimizes the amount of manual labour and skills required in such a way that a person not skilled in the art can easily use this apparatus to thread with precision.
