Abstract

A lighting eyelash curler includes a main board having a space securely receiving a circuit board. A fence is provided on a front end of the main board. Compartments are defined between sidewalls of the fence and sidewalls of the main board. Light-emitting diodes are mounted in at least one of the compartments and electrically connected to the circuit board. A movable clamp, a fixed clamp, and a turnover plate are mounted to the front end of the main board. The turnover plate includes a rotating plate, a catch, and a rotating shaft between the rotating plate and the rotating shaft. A catch hole is defined in a rear end of the movable clamp and receives the catch. Through provision of the light-emitting diodes, the lighting eyelash curler can be used in an environment having a dim light and has simple structure while allowing easy operation.

Claims (12)

1. A lighting eyelash curler comprising:

a main board including left and right sidewalls, with a space defined in a rear end of the main board, with a circuit board fixed in the space, with two power contacts provided on a top face of a rear end of the circuit board and respectively connected to positive and negative poles of a power source, with two power output contacts provided on a front end of the circuit board, with a U-shaped fence provided on a front end of the main board, with a first compartment defined between a left sidewall of the fence and the left sidewall of the main board, with a second compartment defined between a right sidewall of the fence and the right sidewall of the main board, with a plurality of light-emitting diodes mounted in at least one of the first and second compartments and having two power contacts electrically connected to the two power output contacts of the circuit board;

a movable clamp mounted to the front end of the main board, with the front end of the main board including a movement hole slideably receiving the movable clamp, with the movable clamp having a rear end received in the U-shaped fence, with each of the left and right sidewalls of the fence having a support seat, with a turnover plate mounted to the support seats and including a rotating plate at a front, a catch at a rear, and a rotating shaft between the rotating plate and the catch, with through-holes defined in a rear end of the rotating plate and in a front end of the catch, with an intermediate portion of the rotating shaft received in the through-holes of the rotating plate and the catch, with two ends of the rotating shaft abutting with the support seats, with a catch hole defined in the rear end of the movable clamp and receiving the catch;

a fixed clamp mounted to the front end of the main board and including a fixing board at a rear, a pressing board at a front, and two links between the fixing board and the pressing board, with the fixing board of the fixed clamp fixed to an intermediate portion of an upper face of the main board, with the two links spaced from each other and each having two ends respectively connected to the fixing board and the pressing board, with a receiving space defined by the fixing board, the two links, and the pressing board and matching with the front end of the turnover plate, with an intermediate portion of a lower face of each of the two links including a first recess and a second recess for matching with the support seats and the plurality of light-emitting diodes, with the intermediate portions of the two links covering the first and second compartments formed by the left and right sidewalls of the main board and the U-shaped fence, with a lid and a power source lid being mounted to the upper face of the main board, with the lid located in an intermediate portion of the upper face of the main board and engaged with the main board, with the power source lid located in a rear end of the upper face of the main board and engaged with the lid.

2. The lighting eyelash curler as claimed in claim 1 , with the movable clamp including a movement groove in an intermediate portion thereof, with a guard formed on an intermediate portion of the movement hole, with the guard matching with the movement groove and located in the movement hole.

3. The lighting eyelash curler as claimed in claim 2 , with the elastic element being a spring, with a positioning peg provided on the rear end of the movement groove, with the guard including left and right sidewalls extending therefrom, with the front end of the spring fixed in a compartment defined between the guard and the left and right sidewalls of the guard, with the rear end of the spring mounted around the positioning peg.

4. The lighting eyelash curler as claimed in claim 1 , with a groove defined in the front end of the movable clamp, with a rubber pad received in the groove.

5. The lighting eyelash curler as claimed in claim 1 , with the circuit board including a switch contact, with a mounting hole defined in the main board or the lid, with the mounting hole receiving a button, with the button aligned with the switch contact on the circuit board.

6. The lighting eyelash curler as claimed in claim 1 , with the circuit board further including an IC chip, with the IC chip controls lighting patterns of the plurality of light-emitting diodes.

7. The lighting eyelash curler as claimed in claim 4 , with the rear end of the main board including a mounting hole, with the mounting hole receiving another rubber pad.

8. The lighting eyelash curler as claimed in claim 1 , with two engagement blocks provided in the space and fixed to left and right sidewalls of the main board, with each of the engagement blocks including an engagement notch engaged with the circuit board, with the circuit board engaged with the engagement blocks.

9. The lighting eyelash curler as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a connecting board is connected between the two links and includes an intermediate portion fixed to the front end of the main board.
