FALSE EYELASH INTEGRATED WITH ATTACHABLE EYELID PORTON
Abstract
An integrated eyelid and eyelash attachment for deploying false
eyelashes on a user's face. The integrated eyelid and eyelash
attachment comprises an eyelid portion defining a molded, half oval
body, shaped to substantially correspond to the lower section of a
human's upper eyelid and an eyelash portion is attached to and
extending from the bottom of the front side of the eyelid portion.
Spread across the entire back surface of the eyelid portion is a
low tack adhesive coating suitable to enable the integrated eyelid
and eyelash attachment to be removably attached to the surface of a
wearer's eyelid. In one embodiment, the eyelid portion is
constructed of a pliable plastic material, thereby enabling it to
contact the eyelid of its wearer across its entire back surface
area by conforming to the curvature of their eyelid.

Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] This invention relates generally to glamour and beauty
accessories and, more particularly, to a false eyelash that is
attachable to the eyelid of a wearer through an integrated eyelid
portion.
[0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art
[0004] The use and design of false eyelashes for enhancing the
length, thickness, and overall appearance of a wearer's eyelashes
is well known. Conventional false eyelashes often comprise an
elongated eyelash strip that is attached directly or adjacent to
the wearer's eyelashes, typically with glue or some other adhesive.
A problem which still exists, however, is that because of the way
conventional eyelashes are attached to the wearer, it is not
uncommon for them to become stuck on a wearer's eyelids at the
location of the wearer's real eyelashes, resulting in a very
painful and time consuming removal process. In addition, because of
where the adhesive must be placed to attached conventional
eyelashes, it can irritant or damage the wearer's eyes or the
sensitive skin surrounding the eyes.
[0005] Thus, there remains a need for an integrated eyelid and
eyelash attachment which would allow a user to wear false eyelashes
that attach across a substantial part of their eyelid. It would be
helpful if such an integrated eyelid and eyelash attachment
eliminated the need for false eyelashes to be attached across a
narrow strip that is very close to the wearer's eye. It would be
additionally desirable for such an integrated eyelid and eyelash
attachment to utilize a relatively low-tack adhesive that remains
effective because it attaches to a larger attachment target
area.
[0006] The Applicant's invention described herein provides for an
integrated eyelid and eyelash attachment adapted to allow a user
wear false eyelashes without concern for them becoming stuck to
their existing eyelids or otherwise irritating their eye and skin.
The primary components in Applicant's integrated eyelid and eyelash
attachment is an eyelid portion, an adhesive coating, and an
eyelash portion. When in operation, the integrated eyelid and
eyelash attachment enables the attachment of false eyelashes to a
larger area of the wearer's skin. As a result, many of the
limitations imposed by prior art structures are removed.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0007] An integrated eyelid and eyelash attachment for deploying
false eyelashes on a user's face without adhering them to the
user's eyelashes. The integrated eyelid and eyelash attachment
comprises an eyelid portion defining a molded, half oval body,
shaped to substantially correspond to the lower section of a
human's upper eyelid and an eyelash portion is attached to and
extend from the bottom of the front side of the eyelid portion.
Spread across the entire back surface of the eyelid portion is a
low tack adhesive coating suitable to enable the integrated eyelid
and eyelash attachment to be removably attached to the surface of a
wearer's eyelid. In one embodiment, the eyelid portion is
constructed of a pliable plastic material, thereby enabling it to
contact the eyelid of its wearer across its entire back surface
area by conforming to the curvature of their eyelid.
[0008] It is an object of this invention to provide an integrated
eyelid and eyelash attachment which would allow a user to wear
false eyelashes that attach across a substantial part of their
eyelid.
[0009] It is another object of this invention to provide an
integrated eyelid and eyelash attachment that eliminates the need
for false eyelashes to be attached across a narrow strip that is
very close to the wearer's eye.
[0010] It is yet another object of this invention to provide an
integrated eyelid and eyelash attachment that utilizes a relatively
low-tack adhesive that remains effective because it attaches to a
larger attachment target area on the wearer's eyelid.
[0011] These and other objects will be apparent to one of skill in
the art.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0017] Referring now to the drawings and in particular FIG. 1, an
integrated eyelid and eyelash attachment 10 is shown having an
eyelid portion 11 and an eyelash portion 12. The eyelid portion 11
defines a molded, half oval body, shaped to substantially
correspond to the lower section of a human's upper eyelid. In the
preferred embodiment, the eyelid portion 11 is constructed of a
pliable plastic material, thereby enabling it to contact the eyelid
of its wearer across its entire surface area by conforming to the
curvature of their eyelid.
[0018] The eyelash portion 12 is attached to and extending from the
bottom of the front side of the eyelid portion 11. The eyelash
portion 12 defines convention fake eyelash fibers that are
positioned on the eyelid portion 11 in a manner to simulate the
appearance of eyelashes in the aesthetic style that is desired by
the wearer.
[0019] Spread across the entire back surface of the eyelid portion
is an adhesive coating. The adhesive coating defines a relatively
low tack adhesive suitable to enable the integrated eyelid and
eyelash attachment 10 to be removably attached to the eyelid of a
wearer. It is specifically contemplated that that because the
eyelid portion 11 enables a larger contact surface for attachment
to the eyelid, the low tack adhesive remains suitable for its
purpose even though it is not as strong an adhesive as conventional
false eyelash adhesives.
[0020] Referring now to FIG. 2, an alternate embodiment of the
integrated eyelid and eyelash attachment 20 is shown having a
narrow eyelid portion 21 and an eyelash portion 22. In this
embodiment, the eyelid portion 21 is narrower than in the preferred
embodiment (yet still wider than the attachment strip of
conventional false eyelashes). The use of such a narrow eyelid
portion 21 may be desirable for users with smaller eyelids or who
otherwise have a fashion desire for a smaller eyelid attaching
member.
[0021] Referring now to FIGS. 3a, 3b, and 3c, in other embodiments,
the integrated eyelid and eyelash attachment 30 may employ a solid
black eyelid portion 31, a solid color eyelid portion 31', or a
pattern eyelid portion 31'' for stylistic purposes.
[0022] It is contemplated that the adhesive coating employed will
be waterproof and will enable the same integrated eyelid and
eyelash attachment to be reused a plurality of times. In the
preferred embodiment, it is contemplated that the low tack adhesive
will be formulated to enable reuse up to three times.
[0023] The instant invention has been shown and described herein in
what is considered to be the most practical and preferred
embodiment. It is recognized, however, that departures may be made
therefrom within the scope of the invention and that obvious
modifications will occur to a person skilled in the art.
