Abstract:
A mechanical hair puller has a plunger, a housing and a spring. The housing has a spring receiving portion, a finger rest and a stopper. The plunger has a plunger rest and a plunger stop. The spring has a spring tab at a top end of the spring. A bottom portion of the spring is screwed into the spring receiving portion of the housing. A portion of the plunger slides within the housing over a limited range of movement between a first and second end positions. The plunger pushes the spring tab to extend the spring so as to create multiple openings between turns (windings) of the spring. Unwanted hairs enter the multiple openings. The unwanted hairs are captured by the multiple openings. Then, the plunger is released. The spring retracts and grabs the unwanted hairs. Then, move the spring with sufficient friction to pull out the unwanted hairs.
