A hair-removing tweezer device (1) is provided having resilient tweezer legs (2) for removing unwanted facial and other body hair by heat electrically generated at the tips (6) of the tweezer legs (2) as a result of the hair being squeezed between the tips (6) of the tweezer legs (2), said tweezer legs (2) being in the form of a pair of resiliently-closeable electrodes of stainless steel or other such electrically conductive material adapted to be connected by an electrical lead (3) to a suitable source of electrical power for heating the tips (6) of the tweezer legs (2) and insulated from each other an electrically insulated handle (5) for a user to hold when the tweezer device (1) is in use and tipped at the outer ends (4) with tungsten carbide or other such highly electrically resistant material for generation of a suitable degree of heat at the tips (6) of the tweezer legs (2) when the tips (6) of the tweezer legs (2) meet by pressing the tweezer legs (2) together for the purpose indicated. Said tweezer device (1) preferably forms part of a portable electrical appliance adapted to be battery operated or electrical power point operated at home or elsewhere by a user, the tweezer device (1) being connected by an electrical lead (3) to an electric battery or to an electrical transformer housed in a casing (13), the electrical transformer having an electrical lead (14) for connection to an electrical power point mains supply. When the tweezer device (1) is connected to the electric battery or to the electrical mains supply via the electrical transformer and a hair is grasped between the tips (6) of the tweezer legs (2) by the user locating the hair therebetween and pressing the tweezer legs (2) to close the tips (6) together, the electrical circuit from the electric battery of from the electrical mains supply via the electrical transformer to said tweezer legs (2) is closed whereby the tips (6) of said tweezer legs (2) are heated and the grasped hair is so affected that after a few moments of such heating the hair can be relatively painlessly removed. |
