Abstract:
A hair removing apparatus comprising two co-operating hair processing members, which can be moved with respect to each other in a direction of movement and include, respectively, a first plate-shaped carrier and a second plate-shaped carrier extending substantially parallel to the direction of movement, said two carriers, viewed parallel to a Z direction extending substantially perpendicularly to the carriers, being positioned with respect to each other by means of at least one positioning member provided with a contact element which engages a side of the second carrier facing away from the first carrier,characterized in that the two carriers, viewed in a direction parallel to the Z direction, are positioned with respect to each other by means of a plurality of positioning members which, viewed in a direction parallel to the direction of movement, are arranged so as to be spaced apart, and at least one of the carriers has a comparatively low bending stiffness, the positioning members each comprise a tongue, which is cut and bent from a third plate-shaped carrier extending substantially parallel to the direction of movement and which is provided with the contact element near an end portion, the first carrier and the second carrier, viewed parallel to the Z direction, are enclosed between the third carrier and the contact elements of the tongues, said tongues extending through openings in the first carrier and second carrier, and at least two of the three carriers have a comparatively low bending stiffness.
