AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent describes a false eyelash holder that can be used to hold and secure false eyelashes. The holder has a cylindrical base with a curved shape that matches the natural curve of the eyelid. The base has non-adhesive attachments along its circumference, allowing the false eyelashes to be securely attached without using adhesive. The holder also has a tray that extends outward from the base, with a concave depression that matches the profile of the eyelashes. The holder can be used with a single or multiple false eyelashes, and it can be stored within the hollow cylindrical base. The holder is designed to be easy to use and comfortable to wear.

Problems solved by technology

Unless this operation is carried out very carefully the force used to remove each eyelash from the inset will cause the eyelashes to be distorted and twisted out of shape so that the base strand loses much of its important curvature resulting in more difficult application of an eyelash to a user's eyelid.

In addition, adhesive typically utilized to hold the underside of the lashes to the insets may remain on the lashes, degrading the appearance and / or performance of the lashes.

Further, the amount of packaging necessary to attractively and durably package the false eyelashes is considerable and adds to the complexity and cost of producing the false eyelashes.

Moreover, today's consumers are more environmentally conscious and may not appreciate the expenditure of energy and resources in the manufacture the additional packaging and / or the amount of refuse generated by the discarded packaging.
