Further, the swing shaft is arranged in a region surrounded by a line having an angle θ [θ = tan ⁻¹ μ (μ: friction coefficient of the contact portion)] at both contact portions with respect to a line connecting the two contact portions. In the above, the couple force applied to the epilation device can be reduced, the contact portion with the skin in the traveling direction is prevented from rising, and the conformability to the skin is improved.

When the hair removing means pulls out the hair by rotation and rotates the hair in a direction opposite to the skin contact member positioned in the traveling direction, the hair is pulled out in the direction of hair flow to reduce irritation. At the same time, the skin can be extended between the skin contact member and the hair to raise the hair to improve the introduction of short hair or sleeping hair. Further, the skin on the hair root side is stretched to reduce irritation.

When the skin contact member is a comb-teeth-shaped trimmer, the trimmer trims short hairs and the roots of the hairs are easily grasped. Further, when the skin-contact member is an elastic body, the skin-contact is improved. Further, if the swing shaft is floatable with respect to the main body, the contact with the skin is improved, and the hair removing means can be prevented from separating from the skin.

Further, by rotatably rotatably supporting the portion accommodating the motor and the epilation block constituting the epilation means,
The swing rotation angle of the epilation block can be increased without changing the transmission axis distance, and the epilation device of the main body with a narrow width can be followed even if the skin contact angle is increased. Further, in the one in which one end of the link member is rotatably supported by the portion accommodating the motor and the other end of the link member is rotatably supported by the hair removing block constituting the hair removing means, the distance between the axes of transmission is reduced. The swing rotation angle of the hair removal block can be further increased without changing it,
It is possible to provide a hair removal device for a main body with a small width that can follow up even if the skin contact angle is increased. Further, with this structure, the portion accommodating the motor can be slidably supported only in the vertical direction with respect to the main body, and rattling noise can be prevented.

Further, in the one in which the rotary shaft portion of the epilating means and the sunig shaft are aligned with each other, there is no movement displacement of the drive portion including the portion accommodating the motor in the width direction of the main body, so that the main body can be made small and the axial distance of transmission can be reduced.
