However, this has a problem that the skin has unevenness depending on the site, the skin contact member is separated from the skin, and there are differences in usage depending on people, and the skin contact member and the skin pressing member are separated from the skin depending on the skin contact angle. was there.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art. The object of the present invention is to efficiently pull out a large number of hairs, and also to give a good skin contact and always to the skin. It is an object of the present invention to provide a hair removal device that pulls on the skin to reduce irritation, reduce the movement of the skin, and follow the skin unaffected by the usage or site of the person.

[0006]

In order to solve the problems of the above conventional example, the epilating apparatus of the present invention is provided with a pair of skin contact members on both sides of the epilating means, and the skin contact member on one side is applied to the skin. A skin pressing portion for pressing the skin, a skin spreading member for stretching the other skin, and a pair of skin pressing members connected to each other and rotatably attached to the main body.

Here, the hair removing means rotates the claws or moves cyclically in the axial direction by the rotation to hold the hairs, and the rotation center of the pair of skin contact members serves as the center of rotation of the pair of skin contact members. It may be arranged so as to be orthogonal to the plane connecting the tops and pass through the rotation or rotation center of the epilating means. Further, the tops of the epilating means and the tops of the pair of skin contact members may be arranged substantially flush with each other.

By connecting the above-mentioned pair of skin contact members to each other and rotatably attaching to the main body as a skin extension part, even if the skin contact angle differs depending on how the person is used or there is unevenness on the skin, It is possible to prevent the patch member from separating from the skin, and to improve the touch without getting caught on the skin.

Further, the hair removing means rotates the claws or periodically moves in the axial direction by the rotation to clamp the hairs.
When the rotation center of the pair of skin contact members is positioned so as to be orthogonal to the plane connecting the tops of the pair of skin contact members and pass through the rotation or rotation center of the epilation means, The protrusion change of the epilation means due to the rotation of the pair of skin contact members with respect to the surface connecting the tops is reduced, and the protrusion or retraction of the top of the epilation means is reduced due to the angle change of the pair of skin contact members, which improves efficiency. In addition, the hair can be removed well on the skin.

Further, if the tops of the hair removing means and the tops of the pair of skin contact members are arranged substantially flush with each other, the hair removal efficiency is further improved. Further, the skin contact member is supported by a spring and is rotatable, and when the pair of skin contact members is set to return to the horizontal position when the pressing is released,
Furthermore, the skin contact is good and the pair of skin contact members can be returned to the normal position after use.

Further, when at least one of the skin contact members is supported by a spring, and the top of the hair removing means is arranged at a lower position than the surface connecting the tops of both skin contact members, the skin contact is good and the skin protrusion is However, effective hair removal is possible. Furthermore, if one of the skin contact members is provided with a comb and the other skin contact member is constituted by a roller, hair can be smoothly removed by combing the hair and expanding the skin at the skin contact portion. That is, the comb raises long hair or sleeping hair to improve the efficiency of introducing hair to the hair removing means, and also to ensure that the hair can be pulled out by the hair removing means from the root, that is, long hair. This prevents a situation in which the hair is not pulled out simply by feeling the pain, as in the case where the hair removing means scissors the tip of the hair and pulls it. If the skin-pressing portion is composed of rollers, the skin-contact can be further improved safely without pinching the skin.

Furthermore, if the distance between the pair of skin contact members is larger than the distance from the center of rotation to the surface connecting the pair of skin contact members, the skin can be easily followed.
