Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The invention relates to an epilation head for an epilation device, in particular for plucking hair from human skin having a rotating cylinder and rotating around a rotational axis, the rotating cylinder having a number of plucking units for grasping and plucking out hair and having a skin oriented surface, wherein each plucking unit includes a movable clamping unit, a stationary clamping unit. The movable clamping unit and the stationary clamping unit form a closable plucking gap. The movable clamping units have a skin contacting surface and the total area of the skin contacting surfaces of the movable clamping units is greater than 5% of the area of the skin oriented surface.

What is claimed is: 1. An epilation head for an epilation device particularly for plucking hair from human skin having a rotating cylinder and rotating around a rotational axis, the rotating cylinder having a number of plucking units for grasping and plucking out hair and having a skin oriented surface, wherein each plucking unit comprises a movable clamping unit, a stationary clamping unit, wherein the movable clamping unit and the stationary clamping unit form a closable plucking gap and wherein in that the movable clamping units have a skin contacting surface and the total area of the skin contacting surfaces of the movable clamping units is greater than about 5% of the area of the skin oriented surface. 2. The epilation head according to claim 1 , wherein also the stationary units have a skin contacting surface and the total area of the skin contacting surfaces of the stationary units the is greater than about 5% of the area of the skin oriented surface. 3. The epilation head according to claim 2 , wherein the movable clamping units have a skin contacting surface and have a total area of the skin contacting surfaces of the movable clamping units and the stationary units have a skin contacting surface and have a total area of the skin contacting surfaces of the stationary units and wherein the sum of the total area of the skin contacting surfaces of the movable clamping units and of the skin contacting surfaces of the movable clamping units is greater than about 10% of the area of the skin oriented surface. 4. The epilation head according to claim 1 , wherein each movable clamping unit comprises a skin contacting surface of at least about 2 mm 2 . 5. The epilation head according to claim 1 , wherein each stationary clamping unit comprises a skin contacting surface of at least about 2 mm 2 . 6. The epilation head according to claim 1 , having an additional movable clamping unit, wherein the additional movable clamping unit forms an additional closable plucking gap with the movable clamping unit, and the additional movable clamping unit also comprises a skin contacting surface of at least about 2 mm 2 . 7. The epilation head according to claim 6 , in which the movable clamping unit and/or the additional movable clamping unit are arranged axially to each other along the support. 8. The epilation head according to claim 1 , in which the clamping units are made of plastic. 9. An epilation device, in particular for plucking out hair from human skin, having a handheld housing and a motor-driven epilation head, wherein the epilation head is designed according to claim 1 .
