False eyelash dispenser
View Patent ↗The invention is an apparatus that dispenses false eyelashes. The apparatus uses tape attached to the false eyelashes spun about a cylinder that the eyelashes spin off to a point at the front of the apparatus where the false eyelashes separate from the tape and the tape then rolls on to a second cylinder. In one embodiment, the apparatus's casing may be separated and the cylinders removed so new ones can be added to replace the old.
1. An apparatus for dispensing false eyelashes comprising:
a casing having a first body and a second body, the first body and the second body coupled together such that an opening is preserved;
a first axle affixed to the first body proximate to the opening;
a second axle affixed to the first body located to a rear portion of the second body, behind the first axle;
a first wheel having a cylindrical hole that receives the first axel there through is arranged to have a cylindrical reel centered about the hole, the reel having a circumferential surface from which a false eyelash tape can be wound onto;
a second wheel having a cylindrical hole that receives the second axel there through is arranged to have a cylindrical reel centered about the hole, the reel having a circumferential surface from which a false eyelash tape can be wound off, the second wheel comprising false eyelash tape with false eyelashes spooled thereon;
an elastic tensioning element encompassing the first wheel and second wheel; and
the false eyelash tape having a plurality of false eyelashes affixed thereto, and coupled between the first wheel and second wheel such that as the tape traverses from the second wheel to the first wheel at least one false eyelash is exposed for removal from the tape through the opening.
2. The apparatus in claim 1 further comprising a guide pin attached to the casing under the second wheel.
3. The apparatus in claim 1 , in which the elastic tensioning element is made from rubber.
4. The apparatus in claim 1 further comprising a cutter is affixed via hinge to the casing allowing the cutter to cover a removal tip, the removable tip being attached to the apparatus proximate to the opening.
5. The apparatus in claim 1 further comprising:
a first guide rod connected to the first end of a first compression spring presses against the tape at the first wheel keeping tension on said tape and the second end of the first compression spring is coupled to the casing approximate to the first wheel; and
a second guide rod connected to the first end of a second compression spring presses against the tape with eyelash keeping tension on said tape at the second wheel and the second end of the compression spring is coupled to the casing approximate to the second wheel.
6. The apparatus for dispensing false eyelashes according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a first rotatable reel with a circular opening and a groove that fits a guide pin on the first wheel's cylindrical rod; and
a second rotatable reel with a circular opening and a groove that fits a guide pin on the second wheel's cylindrical rod.
