The assembly can float up and down with respect to 0. On one side frame 20, a reduction gear train 13, which meshes with a pinion 12 attached to the output shaft of the motor 11,
16, 17 are provided.

At the upper ends of the pair of side frames 20, 21, a movable block A including a frame 38 and two epilation blocks 2, 2 is mounted. The movable block A, which is provided with a swing shaft 39 inserted into the shaft holes 20a and 21a provided at the upper ends of the side frames 20 and 21 and is rotatable around the swing shaft 39, The two epilation blocks 2, which are rotating bodies parallel to the shaft 39, are provided at substantially the same distance from the swing shaft 39.

Each epilation block 2 is attached to a frame 38 so as to be freely rotatable around an axis. A plurality of epilation claws 3, a small roller 30 and a plurality of epilation claws 3 are provided on the outer peripheral surface of a cylindrical rotating body 23. Are alternately arranged in the circumferential direction. As shown in FIG. 6, each of the depilation nails 3 has a pair of rods 31 and 32 whose end faces face each other via a small gap and are arranged in a straight line.
A thin leaf spring portion 33 is integrally formed between the rods 31 and 32.
1, 32 are provided with holes 34 in the direction of the rotation axis.
The shaft 35 is inserted through 4. One end of the shaft 35 is press-fitted and fixed to a hole 24a provided at one end of the rotating body 23, and the other end of the shaft 35 is press-fitted and fixed to a shaft stopper plate 24b press-fitted and fixed to the other end of the rotating body 23. I have.

Each of the depilatory claws 3 is slidably engaged with a dovetail-shaped groove formed on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating body 23 so as to be slidably attached to the rotating body 23 in the axial direction. I have. The hair removal claws 3 arranged in the circumferential direction of the rotating body 23 are arranged such that a gap formed by the leaf spring portion 33 between the rods 31 and 32 is shifted in the axial direction of the rotating body 23. .

A gear 24 provided at one end of the rotating body 23 of each of the epilation blocks 2 and 2
The gear train 17 is meshed with the gear train 17 via 9, 19, and 18, respectively. Accordingly, the rotation of the motor 11 causes the epilation block 2
Rotate around their respective axes. A cam 22 fixed to a frame 38 is located on one end side of the rotating body 23, and the cam 22 has a protrusion 32 a at one end of the epilation claw 3.
Are in contact. For this reason, when the epilation claw 3 rotates with the rotation of the rotating body 23, the epilation claw 3 is driven in the axial direction by the cam 22, and during this time, the end faces of the pair of rods 31 and 32 are connected to the plate. A state in which the spring comes in contact with the elasticity of the spring portion 33 is generated. At this time, the hair is removed by pulling out the grasped body hair by sandwiching the body hair and rotating together with the rotation of the rotating body 23. . In addition,
The contact between the rods 31 and 32 is performed on the upper surface side of the movable block A.

Here, the two epilation blocks 2, 2
Are provided at both ends of a frame 38 whose center is pivotally supported and rotatable.
When the housing 2 is pressed against the skin, even if the housing 10 is inclined with respect to the skin, as shown in FIGS.

Do. The rotation of the epilation block 2 is not hindered by the swing of the frame 38.

FIG. 9 shows another example. This is the housing 10
A pair of return springs 40, 40 are provided between the movable block A and the movable block A to further enhance the adhesion between the two epilation blocks 2, 2 to the skin. The transmission of the rotational force from the motor 11 to each of the epilation blocks 2 may be performed by a belt 41 and a pulley 42 as shown in FIG. In this case, the driving noise can be reduced because the meshing portion is reduced.

FIGS. 11 and 12 show another example. In this embodiment, instead of one of the hair removal blocks 2 in the example having the two hair removal blocks 2, 2, an elastic body is provided on the outer peripheral surface and a skin stretching member 8 that is driven to rotate is provided.
In this case, the epilation block 8 moves on the skin so that the epilation block 8 precedes the epilation block 2, and the epilation block 2 comes into contact with the skin that is stretched by the contact with the epilation block 8. The gripping and depilation of sleeping hair and short hair can be performed more reliably. In addition, it is preferable that the peripheral speed of the outer peripheral surface of the skin-stretching member 8 be higher than the peripheral speed of the outer peripheral surface of the depilation block 2 from the viewpoint of ensuring the skin-expanding effect.

FIGS. 13 and 14 show an example in which a hair raising member 9 in which a brush 90 is planted on the outer peripheral surface is used instead of one of the hair removal blocks 2. Since the hair can be raised by 90, the hair removal claw 3 in the hair removal block 2 can surely grasp the body hair at its root.

Although the hair removal claw 3 provided on the rotating body 23 which rotates in one direction is shown as the hair removal means, the other means, for example, one direction rotation or reciprocating rotation of the interval between adjacent plate-like members. It may be one that opens and closes while being opened.

Block or at least one driven part
Since the epilation block and the remaining driven parts are skin stretching members or hair raising members, the entire epilation block or epilation block driven by rotation or reciprocation is also driven by rotation or reciprocation by the swing of the movable block. that are those skin straightening member or hair raising member can keep the state in which surely brought into contact with the skin, it is capable of performing hair removal in depilation block to this efficiently and stimulate small state.

If the oscillating shaft is provided between the two driven parts, the followability to the skin can be kept good.
Efficient and less hair breakage can be achieved.
The rotation transmitting mechanism to the driven part may be a wheel train or a belt and a pulley, but in the latter case, the driving noise can be reduced. Further, when a skin-stretching member or a hair-raising member is provided, it is possible to increase the skin-stretching effect and the hair-raising effect by setting the peripheral speed of the outer peripheral surface to be higher than the peripheral speed of the outer peripheral surface of the epilation block. In addition, hair removal can be performed with little leftover and little irritation.

If the movable block is biased by a spring in the swinging direction, the adhesion between the epilation block and the skin can be increased, so that more reliable epilation can be performed.
