Abstract:
1. An epilation device comprising: a) a plurality of epilation elements, each epilation element having a skin side intended for contacting the skin in an operation state of the epilation device, said epilation elements each having at least two adjoining clamping elements that are arranged on a base structure and that each have a clamping surface so that the clamping surfaces of the adjoining clamping elements lie opposite to each other, wherein said epilation elements are mounted abutting each other so that the skin sides of the epilation elements form a skin contacting surface; b) a support in which the epilation elements are mounted; and c) an actuation arrangement that during operation of the epilation device repeatedly actuates the epilation elements between a first bending state in which the base structure has a first curvature and a second bending state in which the base structure has a second curvature different from the first curvature, wherein the clamping surfaces of the clamping elements are separated by a gap at the skin side in the first bending state and are in clamping contact in the second bending state.
