Eyelash curler

Abstract

The present invention is an eyelash curler comprising a fixed stainless steel spatula with attached handle. It utilizes no moving parts. It is operated by a one-handed procedure, allowing the user to apply controlled pressure onto the lash with just the thumb, resulting in a better curl and less chance of pinching the eyelid. It is more easily sterilized and kept clean than conventional eye curlers, thus reducing the possibility of eye irritation or infection resulting from its use.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to the field of cosmetic devices, and more particularly to eyelash curlers. DESCRIPTION OF PRIOR ART [0002] Prior art has seen the development of eyelash curlers that are generally constructed of multiple moving parts. Some resemble a tong-like apparatus and function with a scissor-like action that essentially crimps the lashes using indirect force, while the jaws apply direct force. The hand itself would be located away from the eyelashes. [0003] Eyelash curlers currently used can obscure the vision of the eye and are awkward to use, which can be intimidating and unsafe. The device can be held in a multitude of angles, which can also be very confusing to someone unfamiliar with curling the lashes or unfamiliar with the device itself. Some unwanted effects of eyelash curlers are that the user may accidentally pull out eyelashes, or tear or break them. Control of these devices can be difficult, especially for the inexperienc...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0005] The present invention is a manual eyelash curler device. It provides a better curl, greater ease-of-use and safer dynamics than the previous devices because of the comfortable hands-on way in which it is held. The user holds the device in one hand, pressing the thumb against the curling apparatus with the lashes between the thumb and the curling edge of the device. This also results in less loss of lashes. It is slightly larger than prior art, and therefore provides more control in use. It has a solid stainless steel spatula structure, to provide greater durability. It will not rust, and is easily cleaned and sterilized.

[0006] It is an object of the present invention to provide an eyelash curler that provides better hand control during the eyelash curling process.

[0007] It is a further object of the present invention to provide an eyelash curler that avoids denting or breaking of eyelashes during the eyelash curling process.
