Abstract

A notch is provided between a cylinder supporting unit and a body of a pedestal, thereby applying elasticity to the cylinder supporting unit. With this structure, a leaf spring and the cylinder supporting unit corresponding to the leaf spring can always be in contact with or approach each other, and a noise generated when the cylinder supporting unit and the body of the pedestal collides against each other can be suppressed.

Claims (15)

1 . A hair removing device comprising:

a substantially cylindrical rotation cylinder that rotates around a rotation axis;

a fixing pawl that is fixed to the rotation cylinder and that has a tip end exposed from an outer periphery of the rotation cylinder;

a movable pawl that can rock in an axial direction of the rotation axis, that has a tip end exposed from the outer periphery of the rotation cylinder, and that is configured such that a state where the tip end of the movable pawl abuts against the tip end of the fixing pawl and a state where these tip ends are separated are switched by a rocking motion of the movable pawl;

an open/close lever that is inserted into the rotation cylinder such that the open/close lever can reciprocate in an axial direction of the rotation cylinder, and that rocks the movable pawl;

a cam that reciprocates the open/close lever in the axial direction while rotating around the rotation axis,

a pedestal that rotatably supports the rotation cylinder and the cam; and

a spring that biases the cam toward the open/close lever to press the cam against the open/close lever, wherein

a cylinder supporting unit as a portion of the pedestal that supports the rotation cylinder and the cam can rock in association with the spring with respect to a body of the pedestal.

2 . The hair removing device according to claim 1 , wherein the cylinder supporting unit has elasticity.

3 . The hair removing device according to claim 2 , wherein a notch is formed between the cylinder supporting unit and the body.

4 . The hair removing device according to claim 1 , wherein the cam has a roller-like shape.

5 . The hair removing device according to claim 4 , wherein

the cylinder supporting unit is formed with a through hole in which a rotation shaft of the cam is rotatably accommodated, and

the rotation shaft is biased by the spring from a side opposite from the open/close lever.
