Definitions
- the present invention relates to a measuring device, and more particularly, an eyelash measuring device.
- U.S. Patent No. 3,200,823 issued August 17, 1965 to Sebastian teaches a device for imparting a selectable curvature and uniform spacing to lash hairs of artificial eyelashes to be used in manufacturing and maintaining such artificial eyelashes.
- the trimmers allows a false eyelash to be cut accurately to size and shape.
- the measuring devices are used manually by an individual to suit the individual's taste.
- the present invention provides an eyelash measuring device that avoids the disadvantages of the prior art.
- the present invention provides an eyelash measuring device that is simple and inexpensive to manufacture, as well as simple to use.
- the present invention is more particularly directed to an eyelash measuring device that allows for a compact and hand-held implementation.
- Figure 1 is a diagrammatic front perspective view illustrating a person measuring the length of an eyelash on their left eye
- Figure 2 is an elevational view of an embodiment of the eyelash measuring device of the present invention intended for measuring the eyelash on a right eye;
- Figure 3 is a top plan view thereof, taken in the direction of arrow 3 in Figure 2;
- Figure 4 is a side elevational view thereof, taken in the direction of arrow 4 in Figure 2;
- Figure 5 is an elevational view of an embodiment of the eyelash measuring device of the present invention intended for measuring the eyelash on a left eye;
- Figure 6 is a side elevational view thereof, taken in the direction of arrow 6 in Figure 2'
- Figure 7 is a bottom plan view thereof, taken in the direction of arrow 7 in Figure 2;
- Figure 8 is an enlarged view of the area enclosed in the dotted circle indicated by arrow 8 in Figure 2, showing the sliding graticule in greater detail cooperating with a scale on an ocular window component;
- Figure 9 is an enlarged diagrammatic perspective view illustrating sliding graticule per se.
- Figure 10 is a cross-sectional view taken on line 10-10 in Figure 8.
- an eyelash measuring device 10 comprising a ruler 12 and a substantially eye-shaped member 11, which has a substantially eye-shaped opening 14.
- the substantially eye-shaped member 11 comprises an upper arch 16.
- the ruler 12 is printed on the upper arch 16. This allows a user 18 to measure hir or her eye by placing of the ruler 12 in proximity to that user's 18 eye so that the upper arch 16 containing the ruler 12 is proximal to the eyelash of the user 18.
- the ruler 12 is printed in reverse 20 on the upper arch 16. This allows for a user 18 to measure an eyelash by gazing through the substantially eye- shaped opening 14 to a mirror, where the reverse printing 20 will then appear readable in the correct direction as a mirror image. A user then utilizes a sliding graticule 22 to keep the measurement spot, which graticule 22 will be discussed in greater detail below.
- the substantially eye-shaped opening 14 comprises a front side 24 and a back side 26.
- the ruler 12 is printed on the front side 24 of said substantially eye-shaped opening 14. This allows that the back side 26 abuts the user's eye with the ruler visible on the front side 24.
- the back side 26 is concave 28 with respect to a user's 18, and the front side 28 is correspondingly convex 30 with respect to the concavity 28 of the back side 26. This allows the device to better conform to the shape of the human eye.
- the ruler follows the upper arch 16 along its path (which includes the concavity 28 and convexity 30) just described, which facilitates measurement of what would otherwise be a very difficult area, since it is not a straight line in any of the three orthogonal dimensions.
- the substantially eye-shaped opening 14 in a preferred construction also comprises a lower arch 32.
- the lower arch 32 depends from the upper arch 16 and combines with the upper arch to provide the eye-shaped opening 14. While other shapes could be used, a lower arch 32 is by far the simplest and most direct means of completing the eye-shaped opening.
- the preferred construction of the device 10 further comprises a handle 34 which depends from the lower arch 32, to facilitate holding of the device 10 by a user 18.
- a sliding graticule 22 is provided.
- the graticule 22 is for sliding along the upper arch 16. It allows a user 18 to denote a measured position on the ruler 12 on the upper arch 16, which position would normally correspond to the end of an eyelash. To do this, the graticule 22 at least partially encompasses 36 the upper arch 16. Thus, it can slide along the upper arch 16 without falling off.
- a vertical line graticule 38 is utilized to allow easy correspondence of the graticule 22 to a particular spot on the ruler 12.
- the preferred method of using the device 10 is first placing the ruler 12 in proximity to a user's 18 eye so that the upper arch 16 is proximal to the eyelash of the user 18. Then, second, measuring said user's 18 eyelash by said user 18 gazing through the substantially eye-shaped opening 14 to a mirror, where the reverse printing 20 will then appear readable in the correct direction as a mirror image.
- This facilitates using the device with any common household mirror, and lets a user 18 adjust the distance at which the ruler 12 is read, which advantages it over prior art methods, particularly for users 18 who may be sight impaired at some distances such as nearsightedness or farsightedness. This is particularly useful in the case of an eyelash measuring device 10, since measuring an eyelash precludes the wearing of eyeglasses.
- a method of using an eyelash measuring device 10 is such that said eyelash measuring device 10 comprises a substantially eye-shaped member 11 having a substantially eye-shaped opening 14, which opening is formed by an upper arch 16 and a lower arch 32, and wherein a ruler 12 with reversed printing 20 is disposed on said upper arch 16, which method comprises the steps of:
- Step 1 Placing of the ruler 12 in proximity to a user's 18 eye so that said upper arch 16 is proximal to the eyelash of the user 18;
- Step 2 Measuring said user's 18 eyelash by said user gazing through the
- Step 3 Positioning a sliding graticule 22 at an end of an eyelash
- Step 4 Recording the measurement indicated on the ruler 12 by the sliding graticule 22.
