The eyelash structure of the present invention consists of at least two eyelash units connected in cascade, which are arbitrarily different in design, material, length and curvature. The present invention further provides a kit having the eyelash structure and optionally including an adhesive. Furthermore, this invention relates to the manufacturing method of the eyelash structure of invention.

Description

The present invention relates to the field of eyelash structures, kits comprising the same, and methods of preparation thereof.

  It is known in the prior art that eyelashes are adapted to be applied to the natural lash line of the eyelids to add length, thickness and plumpness to naturally occurring eyelashes. Eyelashes are available in a variety of lengths, colors, thicknesses and designs, from those that look natural to those that look expressive. The eyelash may further include decorations such as feathers, rhinestones and the like.

  It may be desirable to combine two or more eyelash units to improve their appearance or create a new overall appearance. Typically, eyelash units are combined on top of each other by stacking or doubling their eyelash bands ("stacked eyelash").

  However, stacked eyelashes have some disadvantages. Because the bands are stacked on top of each other, they are very thick and not flexible. Many adhesives are necessary to keep the eyelash band bonded together and adhere them to the eyelid. And because excess adhesive tends to stick to natural, existing eyelashes, it can easily be stripped off. Inflexible, thick eyelash bands and excess adhesive can further irritate the eyes and are uncomfortable to wear. Due to its lack of flexibility, the stacked eyelash bands also tend to separate from the eyelids. And unless more adhesive is used to reattach them, their wearing time will decrease and tend to peel from the eyelids. Many adhesives required to maintain stacked eyelashes, not only stacked eyelash bands, but also tend to form visible lumps when dry, are artificial and attractive Will bring no appearance.

  Also, the stacked eyelashes cannot be easily reused. Many adhesives are necessary to keep them attached, so once they come off the eyelids, there is a relatively thick irregularity before the eyelids can be eyelashed again with new adhesives The dry adhesive forming the layer must be removed. However, as soon as excess dry adhesive is removed, the stacked eyelash bands easily peel off. As an alternative to stacked eyelashes, manufacturers offer eyelashes that have twice the amount of lash filaments on one band.

  In short, stacked eyelashes are produced in this way and are on the market. The same is true for eyelashes that have twice the amount of lash filament. However, both different forms of eyelash still do not meet customer needs and demands regarding their appearance of the eye, while at the same time the eyelash is particularly comfortable and preferably reusable. There must be.

  Accordingly, the object of the present invention provides a solution to the problem to meet the needs and requirements in the prior art.

Detailed Description of the Invention

  The inventor has developed, for the first time, a method of combining eyelash units in a cascade (resulting in so-called “cascade eyelash” or “staggered eyelash”). Cascade eyelash refers to the combination of at least two eyelash units for an enhanced appearance and / or an alternative design. In contrast to stacked eyelashes, the eyelash units of the cascade eyelashes of the present invention are not connected by stacking their eyelash bands on top of each other, but rather connected in a staggered or cascaded fashion. .

  In fact, the inventor has found that the biggest problem for those skilled in the art of artificial eyelashes is that homemade and professional double or multi-layered eyelashes are dysfunctional. When trying to paste multiple eyelash units, the customer would stick the band directly on top of each other. If so, it would resemble a version by a specialist who is also a “doubled” rush, for example provided by a supplier such as Eylure, again with the bands on top of each other. That is, they are stacked. Apart from that, it was always thought that the stacked eyelashes bear the risk that the extra additional eyelashes stand out enough to make the user feel uncomfortable. Thus, when thinking about double lashing somehow, if the lash bands were stacked or connected in cascade, there was still the possibility of apparently artificial appearance. In addition, those skilled in the art have thought that the cascade eyelashes of the present invention cannot be applied without an eyeliner when considering doubling the eyelashes. This is because otherwise the customer may not look natural. This is because the bands are usually so thick that they cannot be worn without a heavy liner. Furthermore, those skilled in the art thought that the extending rush band was noticeable. Therefore, those skilled in the art are accustomed to these thick bands to the extent that they do not think that using extra or invisible bands can make the extra bands nearly invisible, so as the present invention does, it is cascaded. I was afraid to prepare my eyelashes.

  However, the inventor was very surprised that the cascade eyelash structure as provided here often makes the customer look more natural. And the cascade system in which the eyelash units are connected is not a problem at all, and can give the customer a natural appearance. The natural appearance can be made more natural by, for example, a thin band and / or a band that does not appear as inconspicuous as possible. Therefore, the eyelash structure of the present invention comprising a thin band and / or an invisible band is preferred.

  A great advantage of the present invention is that the cascade eyelash structure is more flexible than the stacked eyelashes known from the prior art. Thus, it is possible to wear comfortably and for a long time, and moreover, less adhesive is required to apply the eyelash structure of the present invention. This is because only one band of eyelashes contacts the eyelid. This means less adhesive waste, less noticeable mass of dry adhesive, and less eye irritation. In addition, the thinner, softer eyelash bands are less prone to pull out naturally occurring eyelashes.

  As a further advantage, the cascade eyelashes of the present invention can be easily reused. Cascade eyelashes are not connected by sticking their eyelash bands on top of each other, so the dry adhesive can be easily removed from the only eyelash bands that come in contact with the eyelids, All other eyelash bands remain untouched. Therefore, the cascade eyelash of the present invention can be easily used for several uses.

  Another advantage of the eyelash structure of the present invention is that different colors, lengths, thicknesses and styles of eyelashes can be combined. It further doubles the attachment area of the attachment, thereby reducing the need to reattach the eyelashes to the eye. Accordingly, the present invention provides an eyelash structure consisting of multiple layers of different colors, lengths, thicknesses and / or styles of eyelashes (two or more) interconnected in cascade.

  Further advantages of the eyelash structure of the present invention are as follows:-Less tension,-Increased wear,-Improved comfort,-Improved discreetness,-Comfortable stacking of multiple layers,-Increased Diversity,-"User friendly" for customers of all skill levels,-Easy application,-Improved durability,-Increase reuse,-Layered eyelashes for people of all positions in the market Increase-More aesthetically pleasing-Easily fits eye shape.

  Indeed, the unique structure of the cascade multilayer eyelash structure of the present invention can provide optimal customer satisfaction. Preferably, the narrow attachment (sometimes referred to herein as a “band” or “rush band”) can be easily adapted to the rounded shape of the eyelash structure of the present invention, usage, and Improve comfort. The additional layers are attached to the initial attachment in a cascade as described herein. And it reduces the tension caused if the eyelashes are combined directly on top of each other; the “sandwich” effect. Due to the reduced tension, the eyelash structure of the present invention feels lighter, easier to bend and distort. This also solves the problem that the ends of the bands are separated from each other where the bands are combined, or the ends of the eyelashes are peeled off from the consumer's eyes. This configuration creates maximum durability.

  Further, cascading eyelash units as described herein provides a thinner lash band that provides a natural lash line to customers. This natural lash line may be accentuated by a thin black band that eliminates the need for an eyeliner, or may be a band that does not appear as inconspicuous as possible. For example, if all of the combined eyelash units were using invisible bands, it would be virtually impossible to see where the additional eyelashes were attached. For those who want to eliminate the need for an eyeliner, one thin black band and all additional eyelashes combined are combined with invisible bands because they remain inconspicuous with respect to layering. For customers who prefer to combine all rush bands with a thin black band, the cascade structure can be crafted to be carefully placed closer to the first lash band to hide the layering.

  By providing the eyelash structure of the present invention, the inventor provides an enhanced lash line for those who want to skip the step of applying an eyeliner. The inventor removes the need for mascara with fullness to layer the eyelashes, and for those who want to look as natural as possible, an invisible lash band can prevent the ability to find artificial eyelashes. The eyelash structure of the present invention provides a ready-made eyelash with a structure that is easy to attach, making the average customer's needs that want to be added to the latest trend of layering eyelashes, which does not evolve with makeup, more user-friendly Meet by. Thus, the present invention seeks to layer the eyelash structure, requires the eyelash structure to be the same quality that can be made by hand with the same durability and wear, but makes them ready-made. By meeting the needs of makeup artists who want to save time. Furthermore, the present invention provides layered eyelashes that can be “day makeup” that meets the needs that the market has left, as many “stacked” eyelashes offer only dramatic evening makeup. This also meets the needs of the average woman who wants to improve the look of the professional world while participating in new trends.

  The beauty of the present invention can be applied to any style of rush and any type of lash (natural or synthetic). This meets all customer needs across the spectrum, from age, occupation, skill level and preference. Thus, the eyelash structure of the present invention bridges the market gap.

  In the first aspect described above, the present invention comprises at least two eyelash units, each of which relates to an eyelash structure comprising an elongated attachment portion and a lash filament, the eyelash structure comprising at least two eyelash structures. The mounting portions of the units are connected in cascade, and the eyelash structure of the present invention is prefabricated and is preferably prefabricated for customers. Means that it is ready for use, that is, it can be applied immediately to the eyelid by conventional means and methods The term “eyelash structure” Sometimes used interchangeably with the word “rush.” Similarly, the term “mounting part” refers to the word “band” or so. There is also a case to be equally used the plural form "band".

  Actually, if two eyelash units are finally connected in cascade, the subsequent eyelash unit is placed on the first eyelash unit, that is, the mounting portion of the subsequent eyelash unit is The first eyelash unit may be placed so as not to come into direct contact with the mounting portion. Specifically, the subsequent eyelash unit is placed on the lash filament of the first eyelash unit so that the mounting portion of the subsequent eyelash unit does not directly contact the mounting portion of the first eyelash unit. As a result of this connection, the mounting part of the subsequent eyelash unit can be on the right side (see FIG. 2A or 2B) of the first mounting part, or on the left side (see FIG. 3B). The right side is preferred. Thereafter, the subsequent eyelash unit and the initial eyelash unit are connected to each other as described herein, whereby the eyelash units are connected in a staggered (or cascade) manner. The general procedure as described above is illustrated in FIG. If additional eyelash units are to be connected to the first and subsequent eyelash units, the above process will be repeated as many times as desired. For example, a third eyelash unit is placed on the subsequent eyelash unit in the same manner that the subsequent eyelash unit is placed on the first eyelash unit. Thereafter, the subsequent eyelash unit and the initial eyelash unit are connected to each other as described herein. FIG. 3C represents the preferred eyelash structure of the present invention obtained by the method described above, wherein at least two eyelash units are connected in cascade.

  Instead of the above, if the two eyelash units are finally connected in cascade, the first eyelash unit is below / below the subsequent eyelash unit, ie the installation of the subsequent eyelash unit It may be placed so that the part does not come into direct contact with the attachment part of the first eyelash unit. Specifically, the first eyelash unit is placed below / below the lash filament of the subsequent eyelash unit so that the mounting portion of the subsequent eyelash unit is not in direct contact with the mounting portion of the first eyelash unit. As a result of this connection, the mounting portion of the subsequent eyelash unit can be on the right side (see FIG. 2A or 2B) of the first mounting portion, or can be on the left side (see FIG. 3B). The right side is preferred. Thereafter, the subsequent eye lash unit and the first eye lash unit are connected to each other as described herein, whereby the eye lash units are connected in a staggered (or cascade) fashion. If additional eyelash units are to be connected to the first and subsequent eyelash units, the above process will be repeated as many times as desired. For example, the first eye lash unit is placed below / below the subsequent eye lash unit, and the subsequent eye lash unit is placed below / below the first eye lash unit. Place 3 eyelash units below / below subsequent eyelash units. Thereafter, the subsequent eyelash unit and the initial eyelash unit are connected to each other as described herein.

  The term “cascade” is used herein to move up or down at least two eyelash units (which may be the same or different) so that their attachments do not directly contact each other. Used in staggered manner to refer to how to connect. An illustrative and preferred example of the eyelash structure of the present invention is shown in FIG. 3B, while the embodiment of the eyelash structure shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B is a more preferred example of the eyelash structure of the present invention. Represents. The term “not in direct contact” means that the attachment parts of the eyelash unit have a distance to each other of 1 mm or more, for example 1.5 mm, 2 mm, 2.5 mm, 3 mm. This distance preferably spans the entire length of the attachment portion.

  The attachment portion that is affixed to the eyelid is hereinafter also referred to as “first attachment portion”. However, the attachment portion that is attached in a cascade manner to the first attachment portion is called a “subsequent attachment portion”. Preferably, the term “cascade” refers to a connection method of at least two eyelash units in which the upper eyelash unit is attached to the lower eyelash unit but does not contact the attachment portion of the lower eyelash unit. Used to point. This is intended that the upper mounting portion is attached in the vicinity of the lower mounting portion. Preferably, the upper mounting part is directly attached to the lash filament of the lower eyelash unit. However, other methods of connecting the upper and lower eyelash units are conceivable as long as the attachment portions of the upper and lower eyelash units are not stacked. Thus, in general, at least two eyelash units of the eyelash structure of the present invention are not connected in a stacked manner. An exemplary preferred embodiment of a cascade eyelash is shown in FIG. 2A, FIG. 2B or FIG. 3C.

  As used herein, the term “stacked” or “stacking” refers to a method of connecting at least two eyelash units in which the attachments of the eyelash units are in direct contact with each other, eg, pasted on top of each other. pointing.

  The eyelash units having a cascade eyelash structure according to the present invention are preferably connected (exclusively) via an attachment portion. “Connected via attachments (exclusively)” should be understood to mean connected in cascade as described. That is, the attachment parts of the eyelash units are not connected to each other. Rather, “connected via the attachment portion” means that the connection means such as adhesive or heat is used in the present specification to attach the attachment portion of the upper eyelash unit to the lower eyelash unit, preferably the lower eyelash unit. It means sticking to the lash filament of the rush unit.

  As used herein, the elongate attachment is also referred to as an “attachment” and may be an eyelash band. The eyelash band is preferably made of any suitable material, such as a natural or synthetic material, as long as it is non-irritating to the eyes and / or skin and can be attached (to the eyelid or lower eyelash unit). Also good.

  The eyelash band can generally be of any thickness, design, and / or color. It may or may not include additional rhinestone-like decorations. Furthermore, it is envisaged to combine eyelash units with different attachments. With respect to color, the attachment can generally have any color (eg, black, brown) or can be transparent. Eyelash units with different attachments can be combined to create the desired appearance. For example, it is conceivable to combine only eyelash units with colored (eg, black or brown) attachments to create an enhanced appearance. However, for example, in order to create a natural appearance, it is also conceivable to combine only an eyelash unit having a transparent mounting portion. It is also possible to combine an eyelash unit with a colored mounting part and an eyelash unit with a transparent mounting part.

  The initial attachment is typically attached to the eyelid using an adhesive strip or a liquid or paste adhesive. The adhesive piece may be fixed in advance to the attachment portion. Liquid / paste adhesives may be used as part of the application. In general, any suitable adhesive strip or adhesive may be used. It is preferred that the adhesive strip or adhesive can be applied to the eyelid and / or is removable, for example, without irritating the eyes and / or skin. “Removable” means that the adhesive can be removed from the eyelid and / or the initial attachment after the eyelash structure has been removed from the eyelid. Therefore, when it is going to use an eyelash structure repeatedly, a new adhesive agent can be added to the first attachment part.

  In general, the eyelash structure of the present invention can include as many eyelash units as necessary. Preferably, the eyelash structure comprises two, three, four or five eyelash units.

  Also, it is envisaged that the eyelash units of the eyelash structure of the invention are permanently connected to each other, preferably by an adhesive or heat. However, it is also conceivable to connect the eyelash units non-permanently so that one or more eyelash units can be removed as needed without rupturing them.

  The ability to combine eyelash units of different designs is one advantage of the present invention. The eyelash units may differ in design (application, decoration, assembly of lash filaments, etc.), color, material and / or length. Thus, the present invention also contemplates an eyelash structure in which at least two eyelash units differ, for example with respect to design, color, material and / or length.

  However, it is also envisioned that eyelash units of the same design and / or style and / or color may be combined with the eyelash structure of the present invention, for example, to provide an enhanced appearance.

  The lash filament of the eyelash unit may be any suitable material. The material may be different from the material of the attachment, or it may be the same material. Rush filaments may be natural or synthetic materials. The eyelash structure of the present invention can have both natural and synthetic lash filaments. Natural materials that are suitable as materials for lash filaments are, for example, natural hair, feathers and silk.

  In one embodiment, the eyelash unit is in the form of a full strip, corner lash, or multiple subassemblies. “Full strip” means that the eyelash unit is one assembly of lash filaments for each eye. Such assemblies typically include an elongated attachment and a lash filament formed from, for example, synthetic fibers or natural hair. The lash filament extends from the attachment, and the attachment is usually at the edge of the eyelid (hereinafter referred to as the “lash line” regardless of whether individual natural lash filaments are present in that area). It almost matches the shape. The attaching portion is usually temporarily attached to the lash line by using an adhesive piece or a liquid or paste adhesive. When used, the adhesive strip is often pre-fixed to the attachment by the manufacturer. The liquid / paste adhesive can be applied as part of the pasting process. “Corner” eyelashes are typically intended to be used at the lateral edge of the eye. Although corner eyelashes fit the majority of eyes, they generally have a very specific shape. An eyelash structure in the form of a plurality of subassemblies is described, for example, in WO2007 / 138289. It is hereby incorporated by reference.

  In another aspect, the present invention provides a kit comprising an eyelash structure as described herein, optionally comprising an adhesive or adhesive strip as described herein. The kit contains one or more of the following items: mirror, adhesive remover, scissors, tweezers, rush application tool, lash separator / comb, mascara, any other suitable item to help paste the eyelash structure Further, it may be included.

  In another aspect, the invention relates to a package comprising the eyelash structure described herein and optionally including or having instructions for use.

  Furthermore, the present invention provides a method for manufacturing an eyelash structure as defined herein. This method comprises selecting at least two eyelash units from a plurality of predetermined eyelash units that are predetermined and connecting them in a cascade as described herein. One skilled in the art can readily appreciate that what has been described with respect to the eyelash structure of the present invention can be applied to the method of the present invention, mutatis mutandis.

  Embodiments of the present invention can also be used in a system based approach where different eyelash units are presented. This approach is particularly suitable for use in specialized applications where consultants are available to assist the wearer in selecting a combination of eyelash units to achieve the desired effect. The eyelash unit may in this case be affixed to the wearer by a consultant and / or received at a later time by the wearer for affixing himself.

  Furthermore, the system-based approach is suitable for use with computer-aided eyelash designs that can overlay images of different eyelash unit combinations on the wearer's image. As a result, various combinations of eyelash units can be considered before making a selection. In such a process, a consultant or wearer can manipulate the design aspects using a computer. Such a process can be performed over a network and / or remotely via the Internet. For example, the wearer's image can be uploaded to a remote server, the computer-based design process is done online, and the selected eyelash structure or eyelash unit can be delivered by postal mail, Or you can purchase online for pick-up at the store. This computer-aided system allows the wearer to make a choice from a vast range of potential eyelash units that can be supplied directly from the warehouse (thus eliminating the need for large store inventory), Has special advantages and the software can assist in making the right choice (among those that might otherwise be a confusing choice of potential rush subassemblies) . In this case, the resulting eyelash structure can be considered very reasonably “made to order”.

  While aspects of the present invention have been particularly shown and described with reference to the above preferred embodiments, it is to be understood that various further embodiments may be envisaged without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. It is better understood by the contractor. For example, certain colors (eg, black, brown, transparent, etc.) and visual descriptions (eg, “soft”, “delicate”, “rich”, “thick”, “chaotic”, Have been used in connection with various eyelash structures and / or eyelash units, but each structure or device may be used alone or in combination for a particular application of the present invention. , Any color (s) and / or visual description (s). Such design choices may be made for any embodiment of the present invention, regardless of the naturalness of the resulting effect, or other considerations.
