Benefits of technology

[0017] The false eyelash applicator is a generally U-shaped hand tool having two arms joined together by a middle portion. The arms are mirror images of each other and lie parallel to the other. Each arm has an end, a neck section, and a handle section. The middle portion is flanked on each side by the handle sections of each arm. The ends have a width and a slightly concave edge that serves to hold the false eyelash. The width of the applicator's ends permits the applicator to grasp as much as three-fourths of the false eyelash and not just a few lashes at one time for more accuracy. The applicator is constructed of resilient material to permit the applicator to be folded into its generally U-shaped configuration and to be manipulated.

Problems solved by technology

The narrow-tipped tweezers, if used to hold false eyelashes, will only hold just a few lashes, and will not provide much control over the false eyelash during application.

Embodiment Construction

[0031] The present invention is a false eyelash applicator, designated as 10 in the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the applicator 10 is a device held between a thumb T and fingers IF, MF, RF of a hand. The applicator 10 is used to hold a false eyelash F and apply the false eyelash F on the user's eyelid E. The applicator 10 is constructed from a single piece of resilient material that is folded into a generally U-shaped configuration. Alternatively, the applicator may be made from two relatively rigid arms 20 and 40 joined by a more flexible, resilient middle portion 30.

[0032] The applicator 10 is preferably manufactured by stamping out the shape of the applicator 10 from stainless steel using techniques well known in the art. Ideally the stainless steel used will have a gauge size of twenty. It is feasible, however, to make the applicator 10 from other resilient material, as well as other gauges of steel. The benefits of using stainless steel to construct the applicator 10 are that...

Abstract

The false eyelash applicator is a generally U-shaped hand tool having two arms joined together by a middle portion. The arms are mirror images of each other and are parallel to the other. Each arm has an end, a neck section, and a handle section. The middle portion is flanked on each side by the handle sections of each arm. The ends have a width and a slightly concave edge that serves to hold the false eyelash. The width of the applicator's ends permits the applicator to grasp up to about three-fourths of the false eyelash, and not just a few lashes, at one time for more accuracy. The applicator is constructed of flexible, resilient material to permit the applicator to be folded into its generally U-shaped configuration and be manipulated.

No. 60 / 541,250, filed Feb. 4, 2004.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] The present invention relates to cosmetics in general, and more particularly, to an applicator for false eyelashes. [0004] 2. Description of the Related Art [0005] Having the right cosmetic tool is essential for applying makeup correctly and accurately. Today there are a number of cosmetic tools in the market each with its own specific purpose. In some cases people have utilized one cosmetic tool to do more than one job. For example, individuals who apply and / or wear false eyelashes may have used narrow-tipped tweezers to help in the application of the false eyelash. These narrow-tipped tweezers are generally designed to remove fine hairs, not to hold lashes. The narrow-tipped tweezers, if used to hold false eyelashes, will only hold just a few lashes, and w...
