Abstract: A depilation apparatus is provided with a depilation member (7) with pinching elements (19, 21, 69, 73, 111, 115) for consecutively holding hairs growing from the skin clamped in and pulling these hairs from the skin and comprises means (7, 41, 67) for twisting the hairs about their longitudinal axes before the depilation member (7) pulls the hairs from the skin whereby a considerable reduction of the required pulling force, a reduction of the pain occurring during pulling-out and a reduction of the risk of hair fracture during pulling-out of the hairs is obtained, the twisting action of the depilation apparatus being obtained through the use of a pair of discshaped pinching elements (19, 21, 69, 73, 111, 115) with cooperating pinching surfaces (23a, 23b, 71, 75, 113, 117) which slide alongside one another at least temporarily in the pinching position of the pinching elements (19, 21, 69, 73, 111, 115) and the pinching elements (19, 21, 69, 73, 111, 115) having different rotation speeds in the pinching positi

Abstract: A depilating appliance comprises a series of adjacent, closely-spaced hair-plucking disks driven by an electric motor housed within a casing which is designed to be held in one hand. The disks form a roller unit which is rotatably mounted behind a slot, grid or the like provided in one end of the casing. Superfluous hairs to be removed are engaged between the disks in a combing action, periodically gripped by deformation of the disks, then pulled and plucked-out as a result of rotational displacement of the disks.
