Definitions

  • the subject of this patent application relates generally to false eyelashes, and more particularly to a false eyelash dispensing device configured for more easily and uniformly applying an at least one false eyelash to an eyelid or eyelash of a user.
  • false eyelashes are traditionally engaged with the existing lashes of a person to enhance or exaggerate the appearance of natural eyelashes.
  • long and/or fuller eyelashes have always been desirable as a beauty enhancement, usually for women but not exclusively.
  • Eyelash length and fullness is a sign of youth and vigor, so it is natural for some people to desire to look younger and reduce the effects of aging. In many cases, it is not only the desire to look younger but to heighten and emphasize the eyes.
  • an at least one elongate lash belt removably supports an at least one lash strip thereon, each of the at least one lash strip comprising an at least one false eyelash oriented in a direction substantially transverse to the lash belt.
  • An elongate housing is sized and configured for receiving the at least one lash belt therewithin.
  • the housing includes an entry opening provided by an entry end of the housing and configured for receiving the at least one lash belt therethrough, along with an exit opening provided by an opposing exit end of the housing.
  • a lash belt carrier is positioned within the housing and includes a substantially C- shaped channel positioned and configured for slidably receiving the at least one lash belt therewithin, such that the at least one false eyelash of the at least one lash strip of the at least one lash belt is oriented in a direction substantially transverse to the housing, each of a first end and a second end of the channel positioned proximal the entry opening.
  • the last belt carrier also includes an at least one gear in mechanical communication with the at least one lash belt and configured for selectively advancing the at least one lash belt and, in turn, the at least one lash strip longitudinally through the channel, from the first end of the channel toward the second end of the channel .
  • An eyelash holder is positioned laterally adjacent to the channel, directly in front of the exit opening, and comprises a first half and an opposing second half configured for selectively moving in and out of abutting contact with the first half, the eyelash holder configured for selectively moving between one of a retracted position - wherein the eyelash holder is positioned substantially within the housing proximal the exit opening - and an extended position - wherein the eyelash holder extends a distance through the exit opening.
  • a spring-biased button is positioned on an outer surface of the housing.
  • the button is manually depressed after the at least one lash belt is selectively advanced via the at least one gear so as to position a one of the at least one lash strip directly in front of the exit opening, substantially flanked by the first and second halves of the eyelash holder, the button is configured for moving the first and second halves of the eyelash holder into abutting contact with one another, thereby temporarily sandwiching said lash strip therebetween, the eyelash holder engaged laterally across said lash strip such that the at least one false eyelash of said lash strip remains oriented in a direction substantially transverse to the housing, and moving the eyelash holder from the retracted position to the extended position, thereby detaching said lash strip from the lash belt and moving said lash strip through the exit opening so that said lash strip may be subsequently applied to the user’s eyelid while engaged with the eyelash holder.
  • a method for applying an at least one false eyelash to an eyelid of a user using the false eyelash dispensing device includes the steps of inserting a lash belt into the channel of the lash belt carrier; selectively advancing the lash belt within the channel via the at least one gear so as to position a one of the at least one lash strip directly in front of the exit opening of the housing, substantially flanked by the first and second halves of the eyelash holder; manually depressing the button so as to automatically: move the first and second halves of the eyelash holder into abutting contact with one another, thereby temporarily sandwiching said lash strip therebetween, the eyelash holder engaged laterally across said lash strip such that the at least one false eyelash of said lash strip remains oriented in a direction substantially transverse to the housing; and move the eyelash holder from the retracted position to the extended position, thereby detaching said lash strip from the lash belt and moving said lash strip through the exit opening; dipping

Abstract

Un dispositif de distribution de faux cils est divulgué. Dans au moins un mode de réalisation, un ruban à cils supporte sur lui, de manière amovible, au moins une rangée de cils. Un boîtier allongé est dimensionné et conçu pour recevoir, à l'intérieur de celui-ci, l'au moins un ruban à cils. Lors de l'enfoncement manuel d'un bouton, après que l'au moins un ruban à cils a été avancé sélectivement de façon à positionner une rangée de cils directement devant une ouverture de sortie du boîtier, le bouton est conçu pour déplacer des première et seconde moitiés opposées d'un porte-cils en contact de butée l'une avec l'autre, permettant ainsi une prise en sandwich temporaire de ladite rangée de cils entre ces moitiés, et pour déplacer le porte-cils, d'une position dans laquelle il est rétracté à une position dans laquelle il est étendu, ce qui permet de détacher ladite rangée de cils du ruban à cils et de déplacer ladite rangée de cils à travers l'ouverture de sortie, de façon que ladite rangée de cils puisse être appliquée ultérieurement sur la paupière de l'utilisateur(trice) tout en étant encore en prise avec le porte-cils.
