False Eyelash Dispenser With Pockets
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current false eyelash application methods are cumbersome, messy, and inaccurate due to the need for adhesive, which can damage the eye and leave residue, and existing products do not allow for natural appearance or easy application of individual lashes or clusters.
Innovation Solution
A dispensing apparatus using a tape with pockets to securely hold and dispense individual or clusters of false eyelashes perpendicularly to the eyelid, eliminating the need for adhesive and allowing for easy and accurate application.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If adhesive is used to apply false eyelashes, then the eyelashes can be secured to the eyelid, but the adhesive can damage the eye and leave residue on the real eyelashes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes the adhesive substance entirely from the application process. Instead of using glue to secure eyelashes, the invention uses a mechanical dispensing system with a pivot and holder that allows individual eyelashes or clusters to be placed directly onto the eyelid without any adhesive medium, thereby eliminating eye damage and residue concerns
2Shape
If false eyelashes are applied as individual lashes or clusters, then a natural appearance can be achieved, but the application process becomes cumbersome and requires skill and practice
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a self-service application system where the dispensing apparatus automatically presents individual eyelashes or clusters to the user on demand. The mechanical pivot and holder system eliminates the need for manual manipulation skills, allowing users to easily apply lashes without requiring practice or dexterity, while still achieving natural-looking results through individual lash placement
3Ease of operation
If self-adhesive glue is pre-applied to the lashes, then application becomes easier, but the glue residue remains on the real eyelashes and can remove the person's own lashes
Solution Approach 1:
The invention completely extracts the adhesive component from the eyelash application system. Rather than pre-applying self-adhesive glue that causes residue and damage, the patent uses a purely mechanical dispensing method where individual lashes are held by the apparatus and transferred to the eyelid without any glue, thereby eliminating both application difficulties and harmful residue effects
4Ease of operation
If false eyelash strips with predetermined adhesive doses are used, then application is simplified, but the base of the strip remains visible and reduces natural appearance
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the false eyelash product into individual lashes or small clusters rather than using continuous strips. The dispensing apparatus holds and dispenses these segmented units individually, allowing them to be placed only where needed on the eyelid without visible bases or strips, thereby maintaining natural appearance while keeping application simple through the mechanical dispensing system

AI summary
An applicator for dispensing false eyelashes includes a supply wheel and a take-up wheel, the supply wheel comprising a tape having a plurality of pockets, where the pockets secure individual or clusters of false eyelashes until they are dispensed from a dispensing pivot. The spent tape is returned to the take-up wheel.
