Abstract

An apparatus for abrading hair from skin of a body includes an abrasive surface comprising two or more adjacent belts having coplanar flat portions adapted for moving in opposite directions. The body of the apparatus has first and second parallel shafts extending therefrom. The shafts rotate in opposite directions. Belts having an abrasive surface and positioned between the first shaft and second shaft for movement in either the first direction or the second direction.

Claims

1. An apparatus for abrading hair from skin including an abrasive surface comprising two or more adjacent belts having coplanar flat portions adapted for moving in opposite directions.

2. A hair removal apparatus including:

a body,

a first shaft extending from the body,

a second shaft extending from the body and parallel to the first shaft,

means for rotating the first shaft in a first direction and rotating the second shaft in a second direction,

two or more belts having an abrasive surface and positioned between the first shaft and second shaft for movement in either the first direction or the second direction, and in which each belt moves in the direction different to the belt or belts adjacent to it.

3. The apparatus of claim 2 including two or more pulleys positioned on each of the first and second shafts for receiving the belts.

4. The apparatus of claim 2 wherein the belts have adjacent flat spans between the first shaft and second shaft providing an abrasive surface therebetween.

5. A hair removal apparatus including:

a body,

a first shaft extending from the body and having first a gear positioned on it,

a second shaft extending from the body parallel to the first shaft and having a second gear positioned on it,

a motor positioned in the body and rotating an output shaft,

a third gear position on the output shaft and engaging the first gear for rotating the first shaft in a first direction,

a fourth gear engaging the third gear and the second gear for rotating the second shaft in a second direction,

two or more belts having an abrasive surface and positioned between the first shaft and second shaft for movement in either the first direction or the second direction, and in which each belt moves in the direction different to the belt or belts adjacent to it.

6. A hair removal apparatus including:

a body,

a first shaft extending from the body,

a second shaft extending from the body and parallel to the first shaft,

means for rotating the first shaft in a first direction and rotating the second shaft in a second direction,

two or more pulleys positioned on each of the first and second shafts,

two or more belts having an abrasive surface and positioned between pulleys on the first shaft and second shaft for forming a flat span therebetween and for movement in either the first direction or the second direction, and in which each belt moves in the direction different to the belt or belts adjacent to it.
