Claim:
1. A clamping head for an epilator comprising: an axle arranged for driven movement around a centre axle axis; a stationary clamping element that is stationary with respect to a movement in axial direction, the stationary clamping element arranged for rotation together with the axle, the stationary clamping element having at least a first stationary functional surface; a first moveable clamping element having a first moveable functional surface; the first stationary functional surface being arranged face-to-face with the first moveable functional surface; and the first moveable clamping element being arranged for repeatedly being moved towards and away from the stationary clamping element such that repeatedly a closed position is obtained in which the first stationary functional surface and the first moveable functional surface abut on each other, further comprising at least a first actuator associated with the first moveable clamping element, wherein the first actuator is arranged for being movable in axial direction towards the stationary clamping element such that the first moveable functional surface and the first stationary functional surface are moved into the closed position; wherein at least the first moveable clamping element and the first actuator are realized as an integral element, and wherein the integrally-formed first actuator and first moveable clamping element is L-shaped in cross-section with the first moveable clamping element portion being orthogonal to the first actuator portion; said claiming head further comprising: a resilient element being resilient at least in axial direction and having a first end arranged against a first stopper element fixed in axial positional relationship with respect to the axle; and a pressure plate abutting on a second end of the resilient element and having a functional surface that has an axial projection that is elevated in axial direction towards the stationary clamping element, wherein the first actuator being arranged for getting at least intermittently into sliding contact with the functional surface of the pressure plate; and wherein the first actuator is arranged for being movable in axial direction towards the stationary clamping element when it slides over the axial projection of the pressure plate such that the first moveable functional surface and the first stationary functional surface are moved into the closed position.
