Epilating spring for hair removal

Abstract

An epilating spring for hair removal, includes a spring element designed as a coil spring and having a central axis, as well as having an epilating region with a plurality of spring windings which are spaced apart from one another in an unloaded state of the spring element and between which the hairs can be clamped by pressing together the spring element in the axial direction by way of the handles, and cover elements arranged at the ends of the spring element, which are connected to one another via a bracket element having respective arms, wherein the cover elements and the bracket element are produced as a single part from plastic.

         5 . The epilator spring according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the cover elements in their outer diameter are at least substantially equal to the outer diameter of the spring element, whereby the epilation region can be placed parallel to a surface of a skin to be epilated over a corresponding length.   
     
     
         6 . The epilator spring according to  claim 5 ,
 wherein the arms of the bracket element correspond in their width at least substantially to the outer diameter of the respective cover element.   
     
     
         7 . The epilator spring according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the cover elements have respective plug pins which are adapted in their outer diameter to the inner diameter of the spring element, wherein the spring element has between 1.5 and 2.5 turns abutting one another at both ends, and the plug pins correspond in their axial length at least substantially to the length of the turns abutting one another.   
     
     
         8 . The epilator spring according to  claim 7 ,
 wherein the plug pins in their axial length correspond to a maximum length of 2.5 turns abutting one another of the spring windings.   
     
     
         9 . The epilator spring according to  claim 7 , wherein the spring element is easily detachably connected to the plug pins. 
     
     
         10 . The epilator spring according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein respective handle structures are provided on the outside of the arms in a region of the cover elements.   
     
     
         11 . The epilator spring according to  claim 10 ,
 wherein the respective handle structures are formed by linear bars running transversely to the arms.   
     
     
         12 . The epilator spring according to  claim 2 ,
 wherein the connecting region has, at least regionally, a smaller wall thickness than the arms.   
     
     
         13 . The epilator spring according to  claim 12 ,
 wherein the wall thickness in a transition region of the arms to the connecting region decreases.   
     
     
         14 . The epilator spring according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the arms are reinforced by bars.   
     
     
         15 . The epilator spring according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the spring element is configured with a polygonal basic shape.   
     
     
         16 . The epilator spring according to  claim 4 , wherein the arms extend at least over 70% of the length of the bracket element. 
     
     
         17 . The epilator spring according to  claim 4 , wherein the arms extend at least over 90% of the length of the bracket element. 
     
     
         18 . The epilator spring according to  claim 7 , wherein the plug pins in their axial length correspond to a maximum length of 1.5 turns abutting one another of the spring windings.
