Abstract:
1. A depilator assembly for trapping hair for removal, said assembly including: a first disk including a first surface and a sloping region extending into the first surface; first and second pincers extending from a center of rotation of the first disk and which are tiltably attached to the first disk to tilt about a first axis such that at least a portion of the first pincer is received in the sloping region to periodically contact the second pincer; a second disk including a second surface and a second pressure-transferring protrusion extending from the second surface, the second disk being biased to press the second pressure transferring protrusion against the first pincer so as to tilt the first pincer about the first axis; and a rotation unit which induces a rotation of the first disk about the center of rotation and induces a rotation of the second disk such that the second pressure-transferring protrusion presses the first pincer to tilt about the first axis, wherein: each first and second pincer is linear having two arms disposed along a straight line, a plurality of first and second disks is arranged alternately on a shaft, and each pair of first and second pincers is spaced apart on successive disks at a predetermined angle.
