Definitions
- the present invention refers to the design of a spoon used to curl eyelashes.
- This new design refers to the use of an ergonomic spoon which purpose is to curl eyelashes.
- This design focuses its characteristics in the fact that it can easily and rapidly curl eyelashes without damaging them by means of an ergonomic and hygienic design because of its friendly use in different ways.
- the present invention is focused in the ergonomic design in shape and application of a curler spoon for eyelashes satisfying such requirements.
- One of the objectives of the present invention is the possibility of making a curler spoon for eyelashes with the ergonomic characteristics that allow a more comfortable use of the spoon.
- set curling spoon has a configuration in its edges that drastically reduce the wear down of the eyelashes with its use.
- Yet another objective is that its design makes that such device is hygienic since it doesn't have corners which keeps any kind of residue that may decompose over the time of its use.
- the design of the curling spoon is integrated by a single piece, since its more convenient to develop it this way, so that the product is hygienic and practical to clean avoiding the accumulation of dirt.
- the most convenient manufacturing is foundry or injection because for traditional spoons its elaboration is generally die-cutting since they have a small and uniform thickness.
- the material used may be stainless steel and or a polymer which is not porous nor absorbent, resistant against impacts or scratches and which is easy to clean and sanitize.
- the spoon, object of the present invention is integrated by three longitudinal sections.
- the longitudinal end of the concave section which will be in contact with the eyelashes, has a curve on the edge, inwards in the longitudinal plane which elongates almost reaching the endpoint vertex.
- the concave ending of the spoon has four sections in its edges, the endpoint vertex with is described in the next paragraph, the section with an outward convex curve in the side of the edge with an outward concave section and the opposite section where the curvature is always outwards.
- the endpoint vertex of the concave part is not completely acute but it's rounded to allow the curling of the eyelashes located in the corners of the lid.
- the spoon presents a neck that thins down in every way, the longitudinal ending opposite to the concavity in the other ending, to broaden out in the transversal plane.
- This section is set in one of the fingers depending on the user's habits so it's comfortable to use the spoon.
- the opposite longitudinal ending of the section with the concavity which we'll call handle also has a special configuration, with a greater amount of material than the other sections.
- This handle has a bulge in the center which vanishes towards the endings by the inferior, superior and lateral parts.
- FIG. 1 shows a frontal view of the spoon's proposals
- FIG. 2 shows a frontal view of the spoon split by segments; head ( 2 A), neck ( 2 B) and handle ( 2 C).
- FIG. 3 shows a left lateral view ( 3 B), superior ( 3 E), frontal ( 3 A), Inferior ( 3 F), right lateral view ( 3 C) and back view ( 3 D) of the spoon resulting in the four curvatures of the spoon's head (a), (b), (c), (d).
- FIG. 4 shows a frontal view indicating a longitudinal cut of the spoon.
- FIG. 5 shows a frontal view indicating a transversal cut of the spoon's head.
- FIG. 6 shows a frontal view indicating a cut in the vertex of the curvatures that are located furthest from the head's axis of the spoon.
- FIG. 7 shows an isometric render of the spoon.
- the curling spoon for eyelashes referred in the present invention is an ergonomic spoon which application is to curl the eyelashes.
- the design of the spoon was obtained from an ergonomic study for users older than 12 years.
- FIG. 1 shows the final design proposals of the spoon after executing various tests by means of three-dimensional impressions to study the use of the spoons through different prototypes in various proof sessions and discussion groups reviewing the design of the three essential segments of the spoon, head, neck and handle ( 1 A) ( 1 B) ( 1 C) ( 1 D).
- FIG. 1 shows the definite proposal ( 1 D) and a spoon with an inverted head as a first modality ( 1 C), since it is suggested as an alternative use for customers that require an inverted head for its use.
- FIG. 2 shows the segments of the spoon referred in the present invention characterized for the head ( 2 A), neck ( 2 B) and handle ( 2 C).
- the length of the spoon's head ( 2 A) represents the 32% of the total longitudinal dimension of the spoon, having in its widest point a maximum thickness of 22.36% and 6% respectively of the total longitudinal dimension of the spoon.
- the length of the spoon's neck ( 2 B) represents the 18% of the total longitudinal dimension of the spoon having in its widest point a maximum thickness of 7.26% and 5% respectively of the total longitudinal dimension of the spoon.
- the length of the spoon's handle ( 2 C) represents the 50% of the total longitudinal dimension of the spoon having in its widest point a maximum thickness of 1.4% and 1.05% respectively of the total longitudinal dimension of the spoon.
- the spoon's head ( 2 A) interacts with the tip of the thumb moderately pressing the eyelashes over the concave side of the spoon's head in any of its four curvatures as shown in FIG. 3 .-( a ) ( b ) ( c ) ( d ) and rotating the wrist of the hand to curl the eyelashes.
- FIG. 3 shows the curvatures of the spoon's head in different views of the spoon.
- the head's curvatures have a rounding that may be appreciated in the cut of FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 , which has contact with the tip of the thumb and the eyelashes when curling them without making any damage.
- the spoon's neck ( 2 B) interacts with the fluted area of interphalangeal flexion of the index finger as a support.
- the spoon's handle ( 2 C) interacts with the palm's gap and with the interphalangeal region of the middle, ring and little finger for holding the handle and give support.
- the spoon's head ( 2 A) with its four curvatures serve to be able to curl the different areas of the eyelashes by means of the interaction with the tip of the thumb, moderately pressing the eyelashes with the concave side of the spoon's head in any of its four curvatures as shown in FIG. 3 ( a ) ( b ) ( c ) ( d ) and turning the wrist of the hand in order to curl the eyelashes.
- the use of the four curvatures of the head (a) (b) (c) (d) depends on how does the customer adapts to curl the different areas of the eyelashes, although it is recommended that the curvatures (a) and (d) are used to curl the middle region where the biggest lashes are located, since these are the broader curvatures and with the curvatures (b) and (c) to be used to curl both endings of the lid, since these are the narrower curvatures and may manage to curl the smallest lashes, contrary to the products in the market that are not able to properly curl the small eyelashes.
- the head's curvatures have a rounding that, which has contact with the tip of the thumb and the eyelashes can be curled them without making any damage, since the existing products in the market used by customers to curl eyelashes manage to have bevels in the contact surface with the eyelashes and/or the material used in the contact surface gets deformed creating a bevel shape that damages the eyelashes and even cutting them off.
- the design is hygienic and practical to clean and sanitize since the surface of the spoon is smooth, without being porous, nor absorbent and is resistant to smashes and scratches, and therefore avoiding any dirt that may accumulate.
- This design focusses its characteristics in the fact that it may rapidly and easily curl the eyelashes without damaging them, by means of an ergonomic and hygienic design by the friendly use of the product in different ways.
