EYELID DEVICE Filed May 2, 1934 IN VEN TOR.
Patented Sept. 25, 1934 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 6 Claims.
My invention relates to a device for positioning the eyelids of the human eye, for cosmetic or medical treatment.
My invention relates to a device, one end of which is adapted to be applied to an upper eyelid of the human eye, and the other end is adapted to be applied to the lower eyelid of the human eye, for positioning said lids, for the application of cosmetics to theeye lashes or medicine tothe eyelids.
My invention relates to a device for position ing the eyelids of the human eye, for treatment of the eyes, eyelids or eyelashes, having one end with a window for vision, a narrow arch above said window, formed tofit the contour of the edge and surface of the upper eyelid, and the contour of the outer edge of said end section shaped to lit the upper edge of the eyesocket, the corner of the eye and the shape of the cheek adjacent to the nose, and the other end of the device formed to fit the contour of the edge and surface of the lower eyelid, and the outer edge of said end formed to fit the corners of the eye and the shape of the cheek adjacent to the nose.
I attain these objects by the construction ,of the device illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which- Figure l is a frontelevation of an eyelid device, applied to the upper eyelid of a human eye.
Fig. 2'is a front elevation of an eyelid device applied tothe lower eyelid of the human eye.
Fig. 3 is a side elevation of an eyelid device.
Fig. 4 is an end elevation of the upper eyelid end of an eyelid device.
Fig. 5 is an end elevation of the lower eyelid end of an eyelid device.
Similar numerals refer to similar parts throughout the several views.
My invention is made to meet the need of a device, to facilitate the treatment of eyes, eyelids and eyelashes, by the cosmetic and medical profession, and to enable the individual to apply treatment to his own eyes, eyelids or eyelashes safely and conveniently. The application ends 3 and 4 of the device, one for the upper eyelid and one for the lower eyelid, are so designed as to fit the eyelid to which it is applied. In Fig. 1 the aperture or window 2 is placed over the center of the eye 9, guided by index mark 11. The transverse arch 3 of the frame above the aperture 2, is curved to conform to the contour of the eyelid 8, and formed as a surface seg- 5 ment of an approximate sphere, to conform to the shape of the upper eyelid 8 over the eyeball 9 and adapted to be applied to eyelid 8 just above eyelashes 7. The ends 12 and'l2' of arch 3 are rounded to fit the corners of eye 9, and the top line of arch 3 is designed to fit the upper bone of the eyesocket, having a shorter radius for its center portion than towards the ends thereof. The side frames 6 and 6 of aperture 2 are convexed toward theface to fit into the depressions below the eye 9, and have an external contour to conform to the shape of the cheek adjacent to the nose, on either side thereof. These various curves and shapes of the upper end of the device are further illustrated in Figs. 3 and 4. When this upper end of the device is properly applied, with arch 3 against the upper eyelid 8 above eyelashes '7, with ends 12 and 12 in the corners of the eye, and side frames 6 and 6 with contours 10 and 10' fitting against the cheek, with slight pressure applied, the upper eyelid is held against movement, and the pressure applied causes the edge of the eyelid and the eyelashes to roll slightly away from the eyeball. In holding the device about midsection 1 or the lower end, the thumb is steadied against the cheek. The upper eyelid thus held facilitates the treatment of the eye, eyelid, or eyelashes. This device is a convenience for the cosmetic and medical profession, and enables the individual to treat his own eyes, especially as he can look, through aperture 2 and see what he is doing.
Fig. 2 shows the device turned upside down relative to the position shown in Fig. 1. In Fig. 2 the device is applied to the lower eyelid, with end 4 curved to conform to the contour of the lower eyelid. The form of the surface of end 4 which is applied to the lower eyelid, is ooncaved to fit the surface of the approximately spherical segment of the lower eyelid as it is rounded out by the eyeball. The rounded extremities 5 and 5' of end 4 are designed to fit into the corners of the eye, with the edges along the side fitting the cheek adjacent to the nose, according to the side to which it is applied. When end 4 is applied with slight pressure to the lower eyelid below the eyelashes, the edge of eyelid 8 and eyelashes 7 will roll slightly away from eyeball 9, and with a slight movement of end 4 away from eyeball 9, the eyelid and eyelashes will roll farther away from the eyeball. The various curves and shapes of end 4 are further shown in Fig. 5.
The eyelid device can be made stamped from various kinds of rigid sheet material as sheet steel, aluminum, alloys or celluloid. It can be molded to form any one of many materials as bakelite or metals. The article has been proven practical in use and inexpensive to manufacture.
What I claim is:
1. An eyelid device, comprising an elongated structure of rigid material, having an aperture at one end thereof, a transverse arch above said aperture shaped to conform substantially to the surface of an upper eyelid of the human eye, and the other end of said structure shaped to conform to the surface of a lower eyelid.
2. An eyelid device for holding an eyelid in position, comprising an elongated structure of rigid material having an aperture at one end thereof, a narrow arch across the end of said structure on the outside of said aperture, curved to follow the contour of the upper eyelid and formed to substantially fit the shape of the upper eyelid, and the other end of said structure curved to follow the contour of the lower eyelid and formed to substantially fit the shape of said lower eyelid.
3. An eyelid device, comprising'a frame of rigid sheet material having an aperture near one end thereof, a narrow transverse arch on the outside of said aperture, formed as a surface segment of an approximate sphere to conform to the surface of an upper eyelid, and the opposite end of said frame having a concave end line, an adjacent surface formed approximately like a segmental spherical surface to conform to the shape of a lower eyelid, each end adapted to hold its respective eyelid in position when manually applied.
4. An eyelid device for holding the eyelids of the human eyes in place for the treatment of the eyes, eyelids or eyelashes, comprising an elongated structure of rigid material, having an aperture at one end thereof, a narrow arch over said aperture, having its outer contour designed to fit the shape of the upper part of an eyesocket, and having the inner contour to follow the edge of the upper eyelid, and the form of said arch shaped to fit the upper eyelid above the eyelashes in combination with the opposite end of said structure, having a concave line designed to follow the contour of the lower eyelid, and the form of the face of said end designed to conform to the shape of the lower eyelid below the eyelashes.
5. An eyelid device for holding the eyelids in position for the treatment of the eyes, eyelids or eyelashes, comprising an elongated structure of rigid material, having an aperture near one end thereof,,an arch above said aperture formed to fit the upper eyelid above the eyelashes, having rounded ends to fit into the corners of the eye, side frames on each side of said aperture convexed to fit the depressions below the eye and outside contours adapted to fit the check in combination with the opposite end having a concave end line ending in rounded forms to fit the corners of the eyes, with adjacent surface concaved to fit the lower eyelid and outer contours of said surface shaped to fit the cheek.
6. An eyelid device for holding the eyelids in position, comprising an elongated structure of rigid material, having at one end a narrow arch shaped member with rounded ends formed to the shape of the upper eyelid and to fit into the corners of the eye, and at the other end of said structure a curved section with rounded ends formed to the shape of the lower eyelid and to fit into the corners of the eye.
