Depilating device

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The above problems have been eliminated in an improved depilating device of the present invention.
The depilating device in accordance with the present invention comprises a carrier having a longitudinal axis and mounting a series of fixed and movable pinching plates arranged along an axial direction of the carrier.
The fixed pinching plates are fixed in the axial direction and the movable pinching plates are movable in the axial direction.
The fixed and movable pinching plates are positioned in a closely adjacent relation to define small clearances between the fixed pinching plates and the adjacent movable pinching plates for entrapping hairs therebetween.
The movable pinching plates are caused to be displaced relative to the adjacent fixed pinching plates along the axial direction in order to repeat clamping the hairs between the adjacent ones of the fixed and movable pinching plates and releasing the same for plunking the hairs from the skin.
The characterizing feature of the present invention resides in that the fixed and movable pinching plates are arranged on the carrier and displaced such that the two adjacent ones of the movable pinching plates are caused to be shifted in the opposite directions along the axis of the carrier against a common one of the fixed pinching plates positioned between the two adjacent movable pinching plates to thereby apply counterbalancing clamping forces to each common one of the fixed pinching plates from the two adjacent movable pinching plates.
With this unique structure of applying the counterbalancing clamping forces to the common fixed pinching plate from the two oppositely adjacent movable pinching plates, the common fixed pinching plates can be well prevented from substantially deforming in the axial direction, thereby causing no substantial vibration and therefore minimize the operation noise.
Also because of that the fixed pinching plate can be prevented from deforming axially, the counterbalancing clamping forces are applied on the common fixed plates without being dissipated or lost
