Eyelash Extension Applicator With Dual-Adhesive Transfer Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing artificial eyelash extension systems are difficult to apply and require specialized adhesives, making them challenging for users to use effectively, especially for do-it-yourself applications.
Innovation Solution
An applicator with a tip portion and a tab portion, featuring different adhesive strengths, allows for easy attachment and detachment of artificial eyelash extensions to natural lashes with one touch, and includes pre-applied adhesive elements on the eyelash filaments, eliminating the need for additional adhesive supplies.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional artificial eyelash extension systems use adhesive-coated lash line support strip, then the eyelash extensions can be attached to natural eyelashes, but the application process becomes complex and requires specialized adhesives and tools
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the artificial eyelash extension system with pre-applied adhesive elements into a single integrated product. The adhesive is pre-applied to the support strip or filaments during manufacturing, eliminating the need for separate adhesive bottles, brushes, or application tools. This merging of components directly resolves the contradiction by simplifying the application process while maintaining attachment functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The adhesive is applied to the support strip or filaments in advance during the manufacturing process, before the product reaches the consumer. This preliminary action eliminates the need for users to handle or apply adhesive separately, making the application process as simple as pressing the pre-adhered eyelash extension onto the natural lash. This resolves the contradiction by preparing the attachment mechanism beforehand.
2Ease of operation
If do-it-yourself eyelash extension systems use small sections, then inexperienced users can apply them more easily, but they still require specialty adhesive and multiple steps
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the eyelash extension sections with pre-applied adhesive elements into a single ready-to-use component. Each small section or cluster comes with adhesive already applied to its support strip or filaments, eliminating the need for users to separately handle adhesive bottles, brushes, or multiple application steps. This resolves the contradiction by reducing both the number of components and the complexity of the application process for inexperienced users.
3Manufacturing precision
If adhesive is applied to the lash line support strip, then the eyelash extensions attach to natural eyelashes, but the application requires precise alignment and holding tools
Solution Approach 1:
The adhesive is precisely applied to the support strip or filaments during the manufacturing process, ensuring optimal placement and distribution before the product reaches the user. This preliminary precision work eliminates the need for users to perform delicate alignment tasks or use specialized holding tools during application. The user simply needs to press the pre-adhered extension onto the natural lash, resolving the contradiction between attachment precision and ease of operation.

AI summary
An applicator for an artificial eyelash extension system to which a first adhesive is configured to be disposed on a first surface thereof and to be attached to a user's natural eyelashes, the applicator includes: a tip portion including a lash alignment part having an adhesive line extending in a first direction to temporarily fix the artificial eyelash extension system and a bent part extending from the lash alignment part; a second adhesive disposed on along the adhesive line; and a tab portion coupled to the tip portion and configured to be gripped by a user, wherein: a second surface of the artificial eyelash extension system is temporarily fixed to the second adhesive, and a second adhesive strength of the second adhesive is smaller than a first adhesive strength of the first adhesive.
