Patent ID: 7582094

Claim:
An epilator system, comprising: an epilator device having a drivable epilation head with a plurality of clamping elements distributed on its working surface and configured to move along paths of motion when the epilation head is driven, and with actuating members designed to move the clamping elements into relative clamping contact in a plucking zone in which some of the clamping elements are exposed in order to trap hairs between the some of the clamping elements and extract the trapped hairs, and with at least one control member adapted to control the actuating members; and an attachment secured to the epilator device in a manner such that the attachment at least partially covers at least one of the paths of motion in the plucking zone to prevent hairs from being clamped between the clamping elements that move along the at least one of the paths of motion, the at least one of the paths of motion lying between two other paths of motion that are exposed in the plucking zone and whose associated clamping elements are positioned to trap hairs.
