Abstract:
1. A hair removing device with a lotion feeder, said device comprising: a housing; a treatment head mounted to said housing and including a hair removing unit which is held against a user's skin for hair depilation or hair epilation, said treatment head also including an applicator which dispenses a lotion on the user's skin; a tank holding the lotion; a lotion supply mechanism for supplying said lotion from said tank to said applicator, wherein said treatment head is provided with an actuator which acknowledges an event of said treatment head coming into an operative condition with the skin, said actuator activating said lotion supply mechanism to supply said lotion from said tank to said applicator, said actuator is included in said applicator in a skin-contact relation with the skin, said actuator being movable relative to said housing so as to activate said lotion supply mechanism when it is depressed as a result of said applicator being pressed against the user's skin, said applicator is floatingly supported to said housing so as to be depressed when it is pressed against the user's skin, said hair removing unit has an upright axis and has an overall section which is wider toward its bottom than at its top end with respect to said upright axis, said applicator being movable relative to said housing between a projected position where said applicator has its top end close to the top end of the hair removing unit and a retracted position where said applicator has its top end lowered from the top end of the hair removing unit, said applicator having a longitudinal axis which is inclined at a first angle with respect to the upright axis of said hair removing unit so as to bring the top end of the applicator close to the top end of said hair removing unit when said applicator is in the projected position, and which is inclined at a second angle different from said first angle with respect to the upright axis of the hair removing unit so as to avoid the applicator from interfering with the bottom of the hair removing unit when said applicator is in the retracted position.
