The invention is directed to an appliance for the epilation of the human skin, having a housing to accommodate a motor and a drive mechanism for driving at least one clamping device () by which the user's hairs can be extracted. Moreover, a stimulation mechanism is provided to reduce the sense of pain during epilation. This mechanism includes at least one element () that is movable toward and away from the skin when the appliance is placed in epilating position on the user's skin. According to certain embodiments of the present invention, the at least one element () has a free end () and is arranged adjacent to the side of the rotary clamping device (). In consequence, the user perceives at least subjectively a reduced sense of pain during epilation. Still further, a method for epilation and a method for the use of the appliance of the present invention are described.

The invention is directed to an appliance for the epilation of the human skin, having a housing to accommodate a motor and a drive mechanism for driving at least one clamping device (43) by which the user's hairs can be extracted. Moreover, a stimulus mechanism is provided to reduce the sense of pain during epilation. This mechanism includes at least one element (55) that is movable toward and away from the skin when the appliance is placed in epilating position on the user's skin. According to certain embodiments of the present invention, the at least one element (55) has a free end (56) and is arranged adjacent to the side of the rotary clamping device (43). In consequence, the user perceives at least subjectively a reduced sense of pain during epilation. Still further, a method for epilation and a method for the use of the appliance of the present invention are described.

Appliance for epilating hair

The invention is directed to an electric shaving apparatus having a housing (1), a drive assembly and a shearing head (2) movable about a pivot axis (Z) and including an arcuate short hair cutter assembly (K) and a long hair cutter assembly (L) associated therewith. The shearing head (2) is arranged to pivot about the pivot axis (Z) intermediate two support lugs (4,5) provided on the housing (1), such that by suitably positioning the pivot axis (Z) the entire shearing area usable for shaving is placed in contact with the skin surface and that the shearing area cannot become disengaged from the skin surface as the directions of sliding movement of the shearing head change.

Shaving apparatus with a pivoted shearing head system

In a shaving head for dry shavers with a shaving head frame removably disposed on the shaver housing in an interchangeable frame insertable therein, in which a shaving foil cooperating with a reciprocating cutting head is convexly tensioned, the interchangeable frame is positively locked directly to the shaver housing.
