Abstract

A lip suction device. A rigid hollow form has an opening at a first end of the rigid hollow form and a cavity therein extending from the first end to a second end of the rigid hollow form. The rigid hollow form has an outer surface and a thickness at the opening between the outer surface and a surface of the cavity. The opening has an edge with a rounded shape, across the thickness at the opening, which is configured to form a substantially air-tight seal between a user's face and the edge when the rigid hollow form is pressed against the user's face near the user's lips. The rigid hollow form is configured so that when the user draws air into the user's mouth after forming a substantially air-tight seal, the user's lips are drawn into the rigid hollow form towards the second end of the rigid hollow form.

Claims (20)

1. A lip suction device, comprising:

a rigid hollow form comprising an opening at a first end of the rigid hollow form and a cavity therein extending from the first end to a second end of the rigid hollow form, the rigid hollow form comprising an outer surface and comprising a thickness at the opening between the outer surface and a surface of the cavity; and

wherein the opening comprises an edge wherein the edge comprises a rounded shape across the thickness at the opening;

wherein the rounded shape of the edge is configured to form a substantially air-tight seal between a user's face and the edge when the rigid hollow form is pressed against the user's face near the user's lips; and

wherein the rigid hollow form is configured so that when the user draws air into the user's mouth after forming the substantially air-tight seal, the user's lips are drawn into the rigid hollow form towards the second end of the rigid hollow form.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the rounded shape is circular.

3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the rigid hollow form comprises a cross section comprising a shape of one of a circle and a rectangle with two opposing half-circle ends.

4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the rigid hollow form comprises a shape of a squat cylinder with a sidewall and a bottom covering the second end.

5. The device of claim 1 , wherein the opening comprises a shape of a circle.

6. The device of claim 1 , wherein the opening comprises a shape of a rectangle with two opposing half circle ends.

7. The device of claim 1 , wherein the rigid hollow form comprises a first outer diameter and a second outer diameter, the first outer diameter being closer to the first end than the second outer diameter, and the first outer diameter being larger than the second outer diameter.

8. The device of claim 1 , wherein the outer surface comprises a ribbed section.

9. The device of claim 1 , wherein the rigid hollow form comprises a ledge at the surface of the cavity.

10. A lip suction device, comprising;

a rigid hollow form comprising an opening at a first end of the rigid hollow form and a cavity therein extending from the first end to a second end of the rigid hollow form;

a mount releasably couplable to the rigid hollow form at a surface of the cavity, the mount comprising a mount edge defining a mount opening, the mount forming a substantially air-tight seal between the mount and the rigid hollow form;

wherein the mount edge is configured to form a substantially air-tight seal between a user's face and the mount edge when the mount is pressed against the user's face near the user's lips; and

wherein the mount and rigid hollow form are configured so that when the user draws air into the user's mouth after forming the two substantially air-tight seals, at least a portion of the user's lips are drawn through the mount opening towards the second end of the rigid hollow form.

11. The device of claim 10 , wherein the rigid hollow form comprises a cross section comprising a shape of one of a circle and a rectangle with two opposing half-circle ends.

12. The device of claim 10 , wherein the mount opening comprises a shape of one of a circle, a rectangle with two opposing half circle ends, and a heart.
