Benefits of technology

"The present invention is a dual arm or limb eyelash comb that solves the problem of poor in-use visibility. The curved or angled limbs allow for better visibility and safety when combing one's eyelashes and removing excess mascara. The use of cardboard or cardboard-like material is better for the environment and minimizes hurting the eye in the event of an accidental slip. The triangular shaped teeth allow for more efficient and effective separation of the lashes, and the curved distal end of the limbs enables one to quickly comb smaller or larger areas of the eyelashes by pivoting the comb in one's hand."

Problems solved by technology

One problem with prior eyelash combs is poor in-use visibility, i.e., the position of the comb is obscured or not easily seen during use.

Embodiment Construction

[0017]The eyelash comb of the present invention is basically and broadly comprised of two planar curved limbs joined or hinged at one end. Each limb has a toothed zone or section and teeth projecting therefrom for combing the eyelashes at a distal end opposite the hinged end. The teeth are extensions of the outer edges of the planar limbs. The teeth are triangular and so positioned on the each toothed section that they intermesh when the limbs are pressed closed. A resilient material can be used as a spring to aid in keeping the limbs apart when no pressure is applied to the limbs. An important aspect of the invention is that it is advantageously made of relatively thin cardboard or cardboard like material, i.e., material having the physical properties of cardboard. Cardboard is a material made from a renewable resource such as plant or tree fiber and it is more ecologically friendly and cost effective than plastics that are derived from non-renewable resources like oil. Cardboard i...
