<p>The invention is directed to an epilator head (1) for trapping hair for removal. The head comprising a rotating body which has an axis of rotation and is adapted to be rotated by a motor. At least one pair of pincers (15,17) is arranged at or in the rotating body. The pair of pincers are able to rotate in accordance with the rotation of the rotating body. At least their outermost ends are adapted to move towards each other and away from each other depending on the rotary location of the rotating body. According to an aspect of the invention at least one intermediate member (16) is provided which is arranged such that it is at least linearly moveable between the outermost ends of the pincers. Another aspect of the invention is that the pair of pincers only extend on one side of the axis of rotation. A further aspect of the present invention provides at least one spring which is located between the pair of pincers and which is arranged to bias the pincers either away from each other or towards each other. According to a further aspect of the present invention at least one actuator (19) is provided for the pair of pincers. It is preferably supported to move along or parallel to the axis of rotation and engages a first pincer (15) adjacent an end thereof being distal to the axis of rotation and a second pincer (17) at or adjacent an end thereof being proximal to the axis of rotation.</p> |
