DEPILATION APPARATUS WITH VIBRATION MEMBER

摘要

Depilation apparatus with a housing (1) and a depilation member (7) for gripping hairs on human skin and pulling the hairs from the skin. The depilation apparatus comprises a vibration member (17) for exerting mechanical vibrations on the skin. Such mechanical vibrations have an anaesthetizing effect on the skin so that pain sensations caused by the process of pulling hairs from the skin are relieved. The vibration member (17) comprises flexible protrusions (23) which have been disposed on a carrier (19). In this way, the mechanical vibrations are introduced into the skin in distinct concentrated positions on the skin. On parts of the skin which overlie a relatively soft human tissue, the protrusions (23) will not bend so that the mechanical vibrations penetrate deeply into the skin. On parts of the skin which closely overlie a human bone, the protrusions (23) are bent so that uncomfortable vibrations of the bone are prevented as much as possible.
