Abstract

An applicator for applying magnetic eyelashes is provided. The applicator includes a first leg with a first proximal end and a first distal end; a second leg with a second proximal and a second distal end; a first holder provided at the first distal end and including a first side; and a second holder provided at the second distal end and including a second side facing the first side. The first leg and the second leg are pivotally attached to each other so that the applicator is able to switch between an open state where the first side and the second side are spaced and a closed state where the first side and the second side are contacted with each other. The first side and second side are curved. Each of the first and second applicators is slidable relative to the corresponding leg.

First claim

The embodiment of the invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed is defined as follows:

1. An applicator comprising:
a first leg comprising a first proximal end and a first distal end;
a second leg comprising a second proximal and a second distal end;
a first holder provided at the first distal end and comprising a first side; and
a second holder provided at the second distal end and comprising a second side facing the first side; wherein
the first leg and the second leg are pivotally attached to each other so that the applicator is able to switch between an open state wherein the first side and the second side are spaced apart and a closed state wherein the first side and the second side are in contact;
the first side and second side are curved; and
the first holder is provided with a first sliding groove extending along a direction in which the first side is curved along;
the first leg is provided with a first pin at the first distal end that is engaged with the first sliding groove so that the first holder is able to slide relative to the first leg;
the second holder is provided with a second sliding groove extending along a direction in which the second side is curved along; and
the second leg is provided with a pin at the second distal end that is engaged with the second sliding groove so that the second holder is able to slide relative to the second leg.

2. The applicator of claim 1 , wherein
the first side is provided with a first groove and the second side is provided with a second groove;
the first groove extends along a whole length of the first side; and
the second groove extends along a whole length of the second side.

3. The applicator of claim 2 , wherein
a first layer is provided in the first groove; and
a second lay is provided in the second groove, wherein
the first layer and second layer are made of a ferromagnetic material.

4. The applicator of claim 3 , wherein
the first layer comprises a first strip; and
the second layer comprises a second strip.

5. The applicator of claim 4 , wherein
at least one of the first and second layers comprises one or more sections arranged on the corresponding one of the first and second side.

6. The applicator of claim 1 , wherein the first holder and the second holder are transparent.

7. The applicator of claim 6 , wherein the first holder and the second holder comprise silicone.

8. The applicator of claim 1 , wherein
a first mark is provided on the first holder; and
a second mark is provided on the second holder.

9. The applicator of claim 8 , wherein
the first mark is provided on the first holder at a center position in an extending direction of the first side; and
the second mark is provided on the second holder at a center position in an extending direction of the second side.

10. The applicator of claim 1 , wherein
the first side and the second side are adjustable in curvature.

11. The applicator of claim 1 , wherein
the first pin comprises a first hinge that allows the first holder to pivot; and
