Claim:
Depilator comprising a support ( 5 ) and a flexible monolithic hair-removing element ( 1 ) pre-tensioned in a bent configuration and rotatably mounted on said support ( 5 ), said monolithic element being formed by a plurality of adjacent discs ( 2 ), connected to each other by spacing and jointing elements ( 3 ) with an offset angle ( 11 ) on two successive discs, said spacing elements being arranged in such a way that they form a swinging line ( 8 ) for two adjacent discs ( 2 ) which, when said monolithic element ( 1 ) is used by being rotated, swing in pairs and form a divergent zone ( 9 ) where some discs ( 2 ) are separated form each other and leave open spaces ( 6 ), and a convergent compression zone ( 10 ) where some discs ( 2 ) are pressed against each other and form tongs for gripping and removing hairs from the skin.
