A method includes obtaining lash extensions. Each of the lash extensions include artificial hairs, and a base from which the artificial hairs protrude. The method includes applying an adhesive to an underside of natural eyelashes of a user, arranging the lash extensions at the underside of the natural eyelashes based on the applied adhesive, and redistributing the adhesive among the arranged lash extensions and the natural eyelashes using a male portion and a female portion of an applicator.

An applicator includes a first arm and a second arm. Each of the first and second arms includes a medial section extending distally from the proximal end, and a grasping section extending distally from the medial section. The grasping section includes an arcuate portion orientated transverse to the medial section. The arcuate portion has a concave curvature and a convex curvature opposite the concave curvature. A portion of the interior surface of the first arm includes a male portion defined by a protrusion having a first arcuate contour corresponding to at least part of the concave curvature and the convex curvature of the arcuate portion. A portion of the interior surface of the second arm includes a female portion defined by at least one depression having a second arcuate contour corresponding to at least part of the concave curvature and the convex curvature of the arcuate portion.

The present disclosure provides a finger grip apparatus comprising a finger pad and thumb pad connected by a flexible bridge, each of the finger pad and thumb pad having a high friction inner surface arranged adjacent to and parallel with one another. A user may grip the edges of a plastic bag or the like between the finger pad and thumb pad and make a transverse motion to pry apart the edges of the bag's opening more easily.

Various embodiments relate generally to surgical instruments, tools, and apparatuses for medical use, including, but not limited to, forceps, tweezers, and pincers, as well as other anatomical tools for surgical and medical uses, and, more specifically, to surgical instruments implementing a coupling member to effectuate multiple pivot axes enhance, for example, effective lengths with which to access an internal surgical site. In some examples, a surgical instrument may include lever members, each of which may include a pivot portion, a force application portion, and a contacting portion. The surgical instrument may also include a coupling member configured to position multiple pivot portions adjacent proximal ends of a first and second lever member to effectuate a closing state at which contacting portions are positioned at a second distance, which is less than the first distance, at distal ends of a first and second lever member.

A device comprising: (a) a first working arm; (b) a shuttle located on the first working arm, and (c) a bias device; wherein the bias device biases the first working arm when the shuttle is in a first position, and wherein the bias device is free of biasing the first working arm when the shuttle is in a second position.

An apparatus for assisted buckle release having an engagement portion connected to a lever arm at a midportion and a protuberance projected from a basal side of the lever arm. The midportion accommodates rotation of the lever arm within a coronal plane relative thereto as well as manual compression toward the engagement portion to move the protuberance a minimum distance sufficient to depress a release button of a buckle of a vehicular restraint with which the apparatus is engaged and actuate release of the restraints from the button.

An apparatus for curing adhesive gels used for lash and hair extensions. A housing includes a flexible tube extending from the front of the housing. An LED lamp is affixed within the flexible tube for illuminating a target area in front of the tube. A circuit is configured to drive the LED lamp. A front wedge is affixed to the bottom of the housing for holding and guiding a pair of tweezers for operation in the target area, and a rear wedge is affixed to the bottom of the housing in alignment with the first wedge for holding the back end of the pair of tweezers.

A grasping tool (10) has a pair of elongate arms (20) attached via a hinge element (26). The elongate arms (20) provide gripping surfaces (28) for grasping an item therebetween. A finger engagement element (30) extends from each of the elongate arms, (20) spaced a distance from the proximal end (22). Each elongate arm (20) is generally disposed on a first axis, and each finger engagement element (30) is disposed around a second axis, such that the second axis is approximately parallel to and located below the first axis, such that the first and second axes are spaced a distance such that the pair of elongate arms (20) are positioned above the fingers of the user when the user's fingers are positioned through the finger engagement elements (30).
