Faux eyelash retaining system and method of manufacturing the same

Abstract

A systemic retaining tray for prepackaging faux eyelashes and a method of manufacturing the same is provided. Each retaining tray provides a plurality of spaced apart gutters formed into a tray substrate, each gutter provides a row of spaced apart communicating notches. First a double-sided adhesive tape substantially fills and adheres to the bottom of each notch but not the remaining portion of the gutter. Then a proximal end of a faux eyelash is attached to the portion of the double-sided adhesive tape filling each notch. Finally, a single-sided adhesive strip is lain over the row of notches sandwiching the proximal portions of each faux eyelash.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to cosmetic accessories and, more particularly, to a faux eyelash retaining system and method of manufacturing the same.[0002]The traditional method of retaining fake eyelash products for subsequent use is to utilize glue to adhere each faux eyelash, hand by hand, on a tray. With this method, from time to time, human error results in the form of too much glue being applied to the faux eyelashes, damaging products and / or making it too difficult for the end user to remove fake eyelashes from the tray. Such an error wastes times as each faux eyelash needs to be fixed by hand. Likewise, such errors are difficult to detect during pre-sale quality control processes because of the miniature nature of faux eyelashes and the configuration of the retaining tray.[0003]Even when current manufactures use liquid glue to attach fake eyelashes onto the retaining tray by first dipping fake eyelashes into the liquid glue, human error stil...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a system for removably retaining faux eyelashes on a substrate. The system includes elongated gutters recessed along the substrate, with each gutter having multiple notches recessed along the substrate. The system also includes a double-sided adhesive strip and a single-sided adhesive strip for securely holding faux eyelash in place on the substrate. The technical effects include improved adhesion and secure retention of faux eyelashes on the substrate, providing a more realistic and effective eyelash make-up look.

Problems solved by technology

With this method, from time to time, human error results in the form of too much glue being applied to the faux eyelashes, damaging products and / or making it too difficult for the end user to remove fake eyelashes from the tray.

Such an error wastes times as each faux eyelash needs to be fixed by hand.

Likewise, such errors are difficult to detect during pre-sale quality control processes because of the miniature nature of faux eyelashes and the configuration of the retaining tray.

Even when current manufactures use liquid glue to attach fake eyelashes onto the retaining tray by first dipping fake eyelashes into the liquid glue, human error still creeps into the mix through users dipping too much or too little glue.
