Patent ID: 8112892

Claim:
A hair removal apparatus, comprising: (i) a housing; (ii) an electric drive; and (iii) an actuator head comprising one or more hair removal regions, and one or more actuator systems each having a treatment plane, wherein: (a) the actuator head is driven by the electric drive to engage and remove hairs; (b) the actuator head is rotatable about an axis of rotation that extends within the actuator head, wherein the axis of rotation is substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the hair removal region; (c) the actuator head is attached to the housing at only one end of the head, from which end the head extends across the housing; (d) the actuator head is a rotary body comprising an end face arranged perpendicularly to the axis of rotation and rotatably coupled to an arm, in which the hair removal regions are spaced about a circumference of the end face; and (iv) an electrically driven adjusting unit configured to rotate the actuator head about the axis of rotation; wherein the housing comprises the arm that extends transversely to the axis of rotation, wherein one end of the hair removing head is coupled to the arm; and wherein an opening for the actuator head is defined along a longitudinal axis of the actuator head.
