Abstract
A device for removing body hair comprises a manually-grippable housing, and a hair-plucker body rotatably mounted to the housing and having an exposed section formed with a plurality of gaps in its outer surface which open and close during the rotation of the hair-plucker body to receive, pluck and eject body hair growing on a surface over which the hair-plucker body is moved. The hair-plucker body includes a pair of drums mounted in spaced parallel relationship, and a belt enclosing the drums and engaging their outer surfaces so as to be rotated thereby. The belt is formed with a plurality of gaps extending circumferentially of the belt. One of the drums is configured so as to cause the portion of the belt engaging it to open its gaps, and the other drum is configured so as to cause the portion of the belt engaging it to close its gaps.
