ATTQRNEYJ United States Patent DEVICE TO AID 1N ATTACHING FALSE EYE- LASHES TO REAL EYELASHES AND FOR 'I'RIMMING THE SAME Benjamin A. Javits, New York, N. Y.
Application July 18, 1952, Serial No. 299,621
1 Claim. (Cl. 30131) procedure requiring the services of a trained make-up expert because of the inherent difficulty of the operation and the inability of the user to properly apply false eyelashes herself.
Accordingly, it is a primary object of the present invention to provide a device of the character indicated which is adapted for the simultaneous attachment of a plurality of eyelashes and which is designed and arranged in such a manner as to cut or trim the false eyelashes after attachment in a single operation.
In its principal aspect, the present invention comprises a device having a pair of pivoted scissor-like members, one of which is adapted for retaining a removable carrier or mounting block which supports a plurality of spaced apart false eyelashes along a lateral edge thereof. The carrier is supported on one of said pivoted members in such a manner that the untrimmed eyelashes are disposed between the cutting edges of both scissor-like members in their open position in order that the false eyelashes may be tn'mmed speedily and easily after attachment by simply drawing together the handle portions of the scissor-like members. The scissor-like members or jaws are preferably arcuate so that the trimming operation will result in diminishing the length of the attached eyelashes from the center of the eyelid toward the corners of the eye.
The foregoing features as well as additional features and advantages of the invention will be readily understood in the course of the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings which illustrate a preferred embodiment of the invention and wherein:
Fig. l is a front elevational view of the device in closed position and without the eyelash carrier attached;
Fig. 2 is a rear elevational view of the device in open position prior to the attachment of the eyelashes and with the eyelash carrier in mounted position;
Fig. 3 is a perspective view illustrating the operation of the device;
Fig. 4 is a side view taken in the direction of arrow F4 in Fig. 1;
Fig. 5 is a fragmentary view of the lower mounting element or blade of the device which supports the eyelash carrier;
Fig. 6 is a view similar to Fig. 5 showing the eyelash carrier in the process of being mounted;
Fig. 7 is a view similar to Fig. 6 showing the eyelash carrier in final mounted position;
Fig. 8 is a fragmentary exploded view showing the lower mounting element of the device and the eyelash carrier; and
Fig. 9 is a sectional view taken on line 9-9 of Fig. 1 and illustrating the trimming action of the device.
Patented Aug. 28, 1956 Referring first to Figs. 1, 2 and 3 of the drawings, the device comprises a lower arm10 and an upper arm 11 pivoted at the forward end of the device as at 12 and provided with elongated shank portions 10a and 11a respectively, each of which terminate rearwardly in the finger-hold ring 13 for receiving the thumb and forefinger of the users hand in order to conveniently operate the device. Upper arm 11 is provided with an angularly offset cutting element 14 preferably formed integrally with said upper arm. Lower arm 10 is provided also with a cutting element 15 which cooperates with cutting element 14 to trim the false eyelashes after attachment in a manner to be subsequently described.
When carrier 16 supporting a plurality of false eyelashes 18 is mounted on the device, as best shown in Figs. 7 and 9, said eyelashes will traverse the path of the cutting elements 14 and 15 and the eyelashes will be cut to the contour of the cutting edges of said cutting elements when the device is brought into the closed condition illustrated in Fig. 1. Cutting elements 14 and 15 are preferably arcuately shaped, as best shown in Fig. 4 so that the trimming operation will result in diminishing the length of the attached eyelashes from the center of the eyelid toward the corners of the eye.
In actual operation the carrier 16 supporting the false eyelashes 18 is mounted on the projection 17 of cutting element 15 in the manner previously described. The free ends of false eyelashes 18 may then be secured to the natural eyelashes using any suitable cementing agent. Finally after the false eyelashes 18 have become securely attached to the natural eyelashes, cutting elements 14 and 15 are made to approach each :other and to assume the closed position of Fig. l by manipulation of the fingerhold rings 13 whereupon the false eyelashes will be cut or trimmed in a single operation with their length di minishing from the center of the eyelid out toward the corners of the eye.
The design and arrangement of the device of the present invention is extremely simple and allows the user to readily attach and trim false eyelashes after attachment without requiring the services of a trained make-up expert.
It will be understood that variations may be made in the sequence of operations in the use of the device. For example the false eyelashes 18 supported on carrier 16 may first be attached to the natural eyelashes of the user after which the carrier may he readily mounted on the cutting element 16 prior to the trimming operation.
Since certain modifications may be made in the device of the present invention without departing from the scope theredf, it is intended "that all matter ceii'tai ned in the foregihg 'd's'cfiptifin ajfid sh biiin in the ompanying di'awing be ii'1tfp 'reted merely as illiil'sti atitfe and not in a limiting sense;
