These variations are variations that do not materially affect the manner in which the invention works and can be due, for example, to uncertainty in manufacturing processes or to small deviations from a nominal value or ideal shape that do not cause significant changes to the invention. These variations are to be interpreted from the point of view of the person skilled in the art.
- Directional terminology, such as right, left, top, bottom, forward and backward, among others, refers to the orientation relative to someone applying eyelash extensions on a person with an upright face. This terminology is used for clarity reasons and should not be used to restrict the scope of the claims. Notably, the claimed invention can be used on faces having a different orientation. Thus, a “top” surface, which would normally face up in the context given above, can be vertical instead is the proposed invention is used on a person lying down. This surface will still be called a “top” surface.

FIGS. 1 to 8 inclusively illustrate various aspects of an embodiment, according to the present invention, of an eyelashextensions support device 10. Referring for example toFIG. 1 , the eyelashextensions support device 10 is usable for supporting commercially availableeyelash extensions strips 100 during the application ofindividual eyelash extensions 102 on theeyelashes 104 of a person having left andright cheeks nose 112 therebetween. Each one of these commercially available eyelash extensions strips 100 typically contains a relatively large number ofindividual eyelash extensions 102 that are serially releasably adhered side-by-side along a top linear surface portion of abacking strip support 106. Thebacking strip support 106 may have a rear surface thereof that is either self-adhesive or not. - The eyelash extensions support
device 10 comprises a rightside support element 12 and a leftside support element 14 abuttable respectively against the right and leftcheeks side support elements strip supporting portion backing strip support 106. In the embodiment of the eyelash extensions supportdevice 10 shown in the drawings, each of the rightside support element 12 and leftside support element 14 includes twostrip supporting portions side support elements - Referring to
FIG. 7 , each one of the right and leftside support element distal end portions distal end portions cheeks device 10 is operatively abutted against the person. The right and leftside support elements proximal end portions 20 so that an angle between the forward edges 16 is adjustable. Typically, theforward edge 16 and thebackward edge 18 extend generally longitudinally parallelly relative to one another. Typically, the right and leftside support elements bottom surfaces strip supporting portions top surface 24. - The
top surface 24 is suitably configured and sized to support substantially longitudinally thereon in thestrip supporting portion 15 at least one self-adhesive eyelashextensions support strip 101, for example, as illustrated inFIG. 8 . Thus, thestrip supporting portion 15 includes a substantially smooth portion of thetop surface 24. Smooth for the purpose of this document means flat or gently curved so that good adhesion with the self-adhesive eyelashextensions support strip 101 is promoted. - As seen in
FIG. 1 , theforward edge 16 includes a relatively short forwardinner edge portion 28 adjacent theproximal end portion 20 that extends generally towards thebackward edge 18. Thus, the right and leftside support elements nose receiving recess 19 for receiving thenose 112 thereinto. Furthermore, referring toFIG. 7 , afulcrum support portion 30 is provided at theproximal end portion 20. - The eyelash extensions support
device 10 further comprises apin 32 suitably sized and configured to pivotally connect the right and leftside support elements fulcrum support portions 30. To that effect, thepin 32 extends through bothfulcrum support portions 30 to allow rotation of thefulcrum support portions 30 relative to each other about arotation axis 33 colinear with thepin 32. The assembled right and leftside support elements pin 32, are referred to as an eyelash extensions supportassembly 60 hereinbelow. - The right and left
side support elements FIG. 6 , and a deployed position as illustrated inFIGS. 1 to 3 inclusively. - When in the retracted position, both backward edges 18 are oppositely facing one another in a substantially parallel configuration. Thus, the eyelash extensions support
device 10 may be conveniently stowed away in a compact format that can easily fit in a purse, pocket or the likes. - When in the deployed position, the forward edges 16, including their respective forward
inner edge portions 28, cooperatively form a contour profile that generally conforms to the cooperative contour profile of both right and leftcheeks nose 112 of a person taken along a plane extending horizontally at least slightly below the eyes thereof, as illustrated inFIGS. 1, 20 and 21 . - In some embodiments, the right and left
side support elements forward edge 16, and ending in a relatively soft edge line that can softly contact the cheeks of a person without leaving a noticeable imprint. - Furthermore, in some embodiments, an
elongated portion 34 of theforward edge 16, part of which contacts the right and leftcheeks FIGS. 1 to 3 inclusively, or may define an at least slightly rounded concave configuration, as illustrated inFIG. 21 , so as to softly contour the typically slightly rounded configuration of the cheeks of the person. - Referring to
FIG. 8 for example, in some embodiments, thestrip supporting portion 17 includes anelongated groove 36 formed in thetop surface 24 each one of the right and leftside support elements groove 36 is for longitudinally slidably engaging therein through its open end 37 a non-adhesiveeyelash extensions strip 100. More specifically, thegroove 36 has a substantially inverted T-shaped transversal cross-sectional configuration and opens longitudinally and thedistal end portion 22. An inverted T-shaped configuration is one in which the wider part of the “T” is inside an element, this wider part communicating with the environment through a narrower part. In other embodiments, thegrooves 36 each define a suitable alternative cross-section configured for substantially freely slidably engaging opposed longitudinal side edge portions of aneyelash extensions strip 100, as best illustrated inFIGS. 5 and 8 . Eachgroove 36 extends from itsopen end 37 along fromdistal end portion 22, and substantially longitudinally towards theproximal end portion 20 for a major longitudinal portion of the overall length of the respective right or leftside support elements - In some embodiments, the eyelash extensions support
device 10 may further comprise aglue cup 40 for typically containing glue for applying theeyelash extensions 102. - The
glue cup 40 defines anunderside surface 42 pivotally engaged on a top end portion of thepin 32, as illustrated in an exploded view inFIG. 7 . For example, a threaded aperture (not shown in the figures) may be defined centrally in theunderside surface 42 for threadedly engaging ascrew type pin 32 extending through thefulcrum support portions 30 of each one of the right and leftside support elements - Alternatively, as illustrated in
FIG. 10 for an alternative eyelashextension support device 10′, theglue cup 40′ and thepin 32′ are removably magnetically coupled to each other. For example, theglue cup 40′ may be provided with amagnetic element 44 connected to, or otherwise embedded in, anunderside surface 42 of theglue cup 40′, for magnetically engaging a magnetizabletop end portion 46 of thepin 32′. However, in alternative embodiments, thepin 32′ is magnetic also. In yet other embodiments, thepin 32′ includes a magnet and theglue cup 40′ includes a magnetizable portion. - In some embodiments, the
glue cup 40 may be provided with aholding tab portion 48 for ease of manipulating the eyelash extensions supportdevice 10. The holdingtab portion 48 may extend substantially laterally from a peripheral portion of theglue cup 40. Other shape and size configurations for aholding tab portion 48 are also possible. - As would be obvious to someone familiar with small tools and accessories for the beauty salon industry, the various elements of the eyelash extensions support
device 10 described above, including thepin 32, may be economically made of a substantially light yet relatively rigid plastic material using known injection molding processes. Other substantially light and rigid materials, or combination of materials, are also possible such as, for example, aluminum or a suitable metal alloy. As exemplified in the figures, the various elements of the eyelash extensions supportdevice 10 may be suitably shaped and sized for conforming to the face of an adult, but it is to be understood that other shapes and sizes are possible such as for the relatively smaller face of a teenage person. - Referring to
FIG. 9 , in some embodiments, the eyelash extensions supportdevice 10″ may further comprise acoupling element 50 and asupport 52 magnetically removably securable to thecoupling element 50. For example, thecoupling element 50 takes the form of an elongated magnetizable strip provided co-planarly longitudinally along one of both of the bottom surfaces 26, and thesupport 52 is a magnetic telescopic arm. - In these embodiments, the
support 52 includes a length adjustabletelescopic member 54 provided at one end thereof with a resiliently pivotablemagnetic head element 56. The support also includes ahandle 55. With thesupport 52 secured to thecoupling element 50, the eyelash extensions supportdevice 10″ can be held through thehandle 55. - Thus, by magnetically engaging the
magnetic head element 56 at a user selected position along one of thecoupling element 50, the assembled right and leftside support elements eyelash extensions 102 is seated or standing up. - Hence, the hand and, consequently, the arm of the user holding the device do not have to be tiredly maintained elevated for a relatively long period of time near the face of the person receiving the
eyelash extensions 102. Furthermore, the general comfort of the person receiving theeyelash extensions 102 is enhanced since there is no intimate presence of a hand to interfere with normal breathing. - In some embodiments of the eyelash extensions support
device 10″, the pin 32 (not seen inFIG. 9 ) itself may be made of a magnetizable material such as a ferrous metal or a magnetic element such that thesupport 52 may allow to remotely hold the eyelash extensions supportassembly 60 through a centred underside position thereof, as illustrated in dashed lines inFIG. 13 . - Referring to
FIG. 11 , in some embodiments, the eyelash extensions supportdevice 10′″ may further comprise at least oneangle support bracket 70 for magnetically holding theglue cup 40 at an angle relative to the eyelash extensions supportassembly 60. Theglue cup 40 is thus supported so that theglue cup 40 opens along acup axis 41 that is angled relative to therotation axis 33. - For example, as seen in
FIG. 12 , the at least oneangle support bracket 70 may include asuitable base plate 72 bent in a relatively wide open L-shaped configuration. Thebase plate 72 is for example made of a resiliently bendable sheet of material such as a relatively thin sheet of aluminum or soft steel so as to be relatively easily bent by hand to a desired angle. Furthermore, the at least oneangle support bracket 70 includes a relatively strongmagnetic element 74 glued or otherwise connected to a centered portion of each one of the two angledinterior surfaces 76 of thebase plate 72. - Thus, using
angle support brackets 70, one or more glue cups 40 each provided with a relatively strongmagnetic element 44 connected to, or otherwise embedded along, anunderside surface 42 thereof, as illustrated inFIG. 10 , may by magnetically engaged to amagnetizable pin 32, so that theangle support bracket 70 is between theglue cup 40 and thepin 32, as illustrated inFIGS. 11 and 14 , or along one, or each one, of thecoupling element 50 along the bottom surfaces 26, as illustrated in partially hidden views inFIG. 21 . - Referring to
FIG. 14 , in some embodiments, the eyelash extensions supportdevice 10″″ may further comprise a pair of cheek supports 80 for allowing the eyelash extensions supportassembly 60 to be self-supported on the face of a person lying or leaning backward, as illustrated inFIGS. 14 and 15 . - For example, each
cheek support 80 is removably securable to thecoupling element 50. The cheek supports 80 are configured and sized for abutting against one of the right and leftcheeks coupling element 50. In a specific embodiment of the invention, each one of the cheek supports 80 may include abase plate 72 substantially similar in shape, size and material as the one described above for theangle support bracket 70, and only onemagnetic element 74 along the one of the interior surfaces 76 of thebase plate 72. - Thus, as best illustrated in
FIG. 14 , a pair of cheek supports 80, each having theirrespective base plate 72 bent at a suitable angle, may be used to substantially stably self-support the eyelash extensions supportassembly 60 at a user desired angle relative to the right and leftcheeks coupling elements 50 along the bottom surfaces 26 of the right and leftside support elements - It is to be understood the
base plate 72 of each one of the cheek supports 80 may have other suitable shape configurations. For example, the portion of thebase plate 72 in contact with the right orleft cheeks - The eyelash extensions support
device 10 of the present invention allows a user to stably support eyelash extensions strips (either the self-adhesive or non-adhesive type) close to the work area by holding with one hand the holdingtab portion 48 thereof, all the while gently abutting evenly the pair of forward edges 16 along portions of the cheeks of the person on which are to be applied theindividual eyelash extensions 102 with the other hand. - Furthermore, the eyelash extensions support
device 10 of the present invention allows a user to configure the latter using a pair of cheek supports 80 so as to free both hands for other tasks. - Furthermore, the eyelash extensions support
device 10 of the present invention allows a user to conveniently hold theglue cup 40 close to the work area using aangle support bracket 70. - Although the present invention has been described hereinabove by way of exemplary embodiments thereof, it will be readily appreciated that many modifications are possible in the exemplary embodiments without materially departing from the novel teachings and advantages of this invention. Accordingly, the scope of the claims should not be limited by the exemplary embodiments, but should be given the broadest interpretation consistent with the description as a whole. The present invention can thus be modified without departing from the spirit and nature of the subject invention as defined in the appended claims.
