Abstract
An electric hair removal device includes a holder to be hand-held by the user, and a pair of tweezer arms projecting from one end of the holder for gripping a hair to be removed from the skin in which the hair is growing. An electric power supply is actuated by a control device to automatically apply electric current to the hair while gripped by the tweezer arms and tensioned by the spring until the hair is plucked from the skin at which time the current automatically terminates. In one described embodiment, the control device is a tension sensor, and in another described embodiment it is a displacement detector.
