Abstract
A depilating device () comprises a depilating body () which is rotatable about a rotation axis (R) extending in a longitudinal direction (L) with respect to the depilating body () and which is provided with at least one hair-catching space (). The depilating device () further comprises an actuating mechanism () configured to act on the depilating body () so as to cause compression and extension of the depilating body () in the longitudinal direction (L) during rotational movement of the depilating body () about the rotation axis (R), for the purpose of varying the size of the hair-catching space () of the depilating body () in the longitudinal direction (L), wherein the actuating mechanism () includes a force-inducing member () which is compressible and extensible in the longitudinal direction (L) and which has a function in determining the level of a hair-clamping force in the depilating body ().
