BACKGROUND ART It is well known that hair-removal intended to resolve aesthetic problems is one of the major issue involving more and more people especially women.

Hair-removal on wide area of the human skin is commonly achieved through the application of warm specific wax.

Such method of hair-removal is usually performed by specialised operators.

Specific electrical means characterised by a motor and rotating elements capable of catching and eradicating the hair are frequently used in a domestic environment.

Such electrical means require electrical supply from a battery or directly from the electrical line and their use can present some inconveniences especially for applications in limited area of the skin with few hair.

In similar situations small tweezers are often employed removing manually one hair at a time.

This method of depilation has got of course several

disadvantages in terms of time and efficacy and requires a sharp sight.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention aims to set aside the inconveniences and drawbacks which are typical of the prior art, and to provide, therefore, a device characterised by having limited dimensions, no need of electrical supply and that is easily usable with one hand.

This is'obtained by a device having the features disclosed in the main claim.

The dependent claims outline advantageous forms of embodiment of the invention.

According to particular form of embodiment the first and the second element constituting the device can be connected with a pivot pin being the fulcrum in the action performed by the finger on the two elements.

According to a preferred form of embodiment, the device described in the present invention comprises an resilient element having coils all equal and having a square form with rounded corners.

-figure 5 shows an exploded view of the elements forming the device according to the second form of embodiment of the present invention.

-figure 6 shows the manual use of the device in proximity of the skin as shown in figures 4 and 5.

In the drawings related to the second form of embodiment, the same elements or those similar to those illustrated in the first form described with reference to figures 1,2 and 3 are marked with the same reference numbers.

DESCRIPTION OF A FORM OF EMBODIMENT The manual pocket device according to the present invention is illustrated in figure 1 following a preferred form of embodiment, with a low perspective view.

The essential components of the device are better shown in the exploded view of figure 2.

These are constituted by a first element 1, a second element 2 which is directly coupled to element 1 by means of a sliding joint, and a third element 3 interposed between elements 1 and 2 at their joint.

The element 1 comprises a part 11 shaped in a way to form a guide 12 and a part 13 which develops in a substantially normal direction relative to guide 12.

The element 1 also comprises a first thrust means 14 for two opposed fingers used in the manually application of such device and forming a single body with part 13.

The preferred shape of such thrust means 14 is substantially circular as shown in figures 1 and 2 allowing an advantageous position of the fingers during

the use of the device.

The element 2 comprises a part 21 shaped in a way to form a unit 22 which is, in this particular form of embodiment, a slide suitable to be frontally coupled with the guide 12 of the element 1.

The same element 2 comprises a second part 23 which develops in a direction substantially normal to the unit 22 and has a shape defining a second thrust means 24 for two opposed fingers used during the manual application of such device.

The second thrust means 2. 4 has the same structure and meets the same requirements as the first thrust means 14.

The coupling of element 1 with element 2 takes place by first interposing between said elements 1,2 the resilient element 3 shown in figure 2.

Element 3, which is normally constituted by one or more coil springs, preferably comprises a set of sub- units 31 which are for example all identical and have a square shape with rounded corners as described in the forms of embodiment illustrated in figures 1-6.

The shape and the dimension of the resilient element 3 are such as to fit to the part 11 of the element 1 and to the cavity of the unit 22 of the element 2 which the element 3 has to be inserted in.

The assembling of the elements as described results in the device shown in figure 1 in which the coupling of the element 1 with the element 2 is obtained with a typical slide connection, whereby the sub-units 31 of the resilient element 3 project outwardly from'one side.

Such sub-units 31, without the manual thrust of the fingers on means 14,24 are equally spaced from each other and leave a space suitable to receive the hair to be removed between each couple of contiguous sub-units.

The action to perform for the hair-removal is illustrated in figure 3, that shows the action exerted by two fingers on the two thrust means 14 and 24 of the device along directions X and Y.

Such action is preceded by nearing face 25 of the device comprising the sub-units 31 to the area of the skin to be treated 4 in a way that the hair 5 can go between the contiguous sub-units 31.

The sub-units 31 of the resilient element 3 can also have circular or other similar forms provided that their sides on face 25 are suitable to perform a good contact with the skin 4.

The same resilient element 3 comprises sub-units 31 like coils which are all identical and realised with harmonic steel.

Sub-units 31 could also be coated on their surface with a plastic film in order to increase the grip on the hair to remove.

To increase the active surface of the device, in the hair-removal, the resilient element 3 comprises more parallel resilient units between the first element 1 and the second element 2 opportunely modified.

A second form of embodiment illustrated in figure 4 comprises the same characterising elements described with reference to the previous form of embodiment but with a different structure in their tridimensional shape as shown in the exploded view of figure 5.

A first element 1, a second element 2 which is directly coupled to 1 by means of a sliding joint, and a third element 3 interposed between 1 and 2 in their joint are easily identifiable.

The element 1 comprises a part 11 shaped in a way to form a guide 12 and a part 13 which develops in a substantially normal direction to guide 12.

The element 1 comprises also a first thrust means 14 for two opposite fingers used in the manually application of such device and forming a single body with part 13.

A preferred form of embodiment of such first thrust means is an hollow placed on part 13 and suited to receive a finger in its action of thrust.

The same structure is realised as a second thrust means 24 on part 23 in the element 2.

Moreover, according to this particular form of embodiment of the invention, a pivot pin 26 is placed between elements 1,2 on parts 13,23 and acts as fulcrum in the thrust action of the fingers.

In the form of embodiment of the present invention shown in figure 5 the unit 22 of the element 2 is an empty housing capable to receive the final part of the guide 12 and able to contain element 3.

From the previous description the novelty and the usefulness of the invented device appear to be clear, whereby the device can be produced with limited dimensions so as to have a pocket size and it is suitable for being quickly used in every occasion.

The mentioned first and second elements of the device can favourably be manufactured in plastic.

However, it is clear that the invention is not limited to these forms of embodiment, and that it encompasses several variants within the scope of mechanical equivalencies.

For instance, according to another form of embodiment that is not shown in the drawings, the previously described pivot pin 26 is not present.

Accordingly, one of the elements to be coupled is provided with an internal protuberance that is'inserted, during the assembling operation, into a suitable cavity

that is provided on the other element. In this case the protuberance plays the same role as the pivot pin, but the whole device is cheaper since the protuberance and its conjugated cavity are directly molded with the respective elements to be coupled.
