FALSE EYELASH DISPLAY SCALE

Abstract

A label device for displaying a false eyelash is disclosed. The label has a length which corresponds to the cooperating false eyelash, and has a scale thereon for showing the measure of the eyelash. The label further has a tab, which tab extends from the top edge of the label and is for displaying the measure of the label. The label has adhesive on its back side, but adhesive does not extend up the tab. The label is for being adhered to a cooperating substrate, which substrate is a protrusion which extends upwardly from a tray. Also disclosed is a method of using the label.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0044] Referring now to the figures, in which like numerals indicate like parts, and particularly to FIG. 1, disclosed is a display device 10 which has:

[0045] a) a label 12; and

[0046] b) an adhesive 14.

[0047] The label 12 is for displaying a cooperating false eyelash 16. The label 12 has a length 18. The cooperating false eyelash 16 has a length 20, typically but not limited to 24 mm to 34 mm. That length of the cooperating false eyelash 16 is the length extending from the furthermost two lashes from one another. The length 18 of the label 12 corresponds to the length 20 of the cooperating false eyelash 16. The adhesive 14 is for securing the label 12 to a substrate 22. This structure permits a user to see that a false eyelash 16 is of a length corresponding to the length of the label 12 and assure that they are obtaining the correct size for their eye. This avoids the problem many users face where they purchase false eyelashes 16 of inappropriate size and cut them to size, which cutting can alter the shape of the false eyelash 16. As most clearly seen in FIG. 2, false eyelashes 16 often have a differential length of lash depending on the eye in which they are meant to rest.

[0048] Further to the same purpose, the label 12 further has a scale 24. The label 12 has a front side 26 and a back side 28. The scale 24 is disposed on the front side 26 of the label 12. The adhesive 14 is disposed on the back side 28. The scale 24 has a length 30 corresponding to the length 20 of the cooperating false eyelash 16 and to the length 18 of the label 18. This structure prevents mis-using the label with an incorrect false eyelash 16 by assuring that the physical bounds of the false eyelash 16 match the marked scale 24.

[0049] As illustrated best in FIGS. 3 and 4, the label further has a tab 32. The label 12 has a top 34 and a bottom 36. The top 34 and the bottom 36 run along the length 18 of the label 12. The tab 32 extends from the top 34 of the label 12. The tab 32 has a length 38. The length 38 of the tab 32 is less than the length 18 of the label 12.

[0050] The adhesive 14 is disposed on the back side 28 of the label 12, but is not disposed on the tab 32. This allows the tab to stick up from the tray substrate 22 and provide an enhanced visibility to the measure, without leaving exposed adhesive. The tab 32 contains indicia 40 indicating the length 18 of the label 12.

[0051] As illustrated in FIG. 1, the substrate 22 is a tray having at least one protrusion 42 thereon, which protrusion 42 is for displaying the false eyelash 16. The tray 22 has a cover 44. The cover 44 is sufficiently raised above the at least one protrusion 42 so that the tab 32 of the label 12 is not contacted by the cover 44 when the cover 44 is closed. In order to allow easy release of the cooperating false eyelash, the front side 26 of the label is impermeable to fluids.

[0052] In the preferred embodiment, and as illustrated in FIG. 2, and in furtherance of the aforementioned goals concerning preventing cutting of false eyelashes 16, the cooperating false eyelash 16 has a shape 46. The shape 46 of the cooperating false eyelash 16 is formed by the varying lengths of component lashes 48 of the cooperating false eyelash 16.

[0053] Additionally now disclosed is a method of utilizing the display device 10 wherein the display device 10 has:

[0054] i) a label 12; and

[0055] ii) an adhesive 14.

[0056] The display device 10 is for displaying a false eyelash 16. The display device 10 is for being attached to a cooperating substrate 22. The label 12 has a front side 26 and a back side 28. The front side 26 of the label has a scale 24. The adhesive 14 is on the back side 28 of the label 12. The label 12 may be fabricated out of an opaque, translucent or clear transparent material as chosen by the manufacturer.

The method has the steps of: [0057] a) aligning the false eyelash 16 with the scale 24 of the front side 26 of the label 12; [0058] b) securing the false eyelash 16 to the front side 26 of the label 12; [0059] c) exposing the adhesive 14 of the label 12; and [0060] d) adhering the label 12 to the substrate 22 with the adhesive 14.

[0061] It will be understood that each of the elements described above, or two or more together, may also find a useful application in other types of constructions differing from the types described above.

[0062] While the invention has been illustrated and described as embodiments of a FALSE EYELASH DISPLAY SCALE, accordingly it is not limited to the details shown, since it will be understood that various omissions, modifications, substitutions and changes in the forms and details of the device illustrated and its operation can be made by those skilled in the art without departing in any way from the spirit of the present invention.

[0063] Without further analysis, the foregoing will so fully reveal the gist of the present invention that others can, by applying current knowledge, readily adapt it for various applications without omitting features that, from the standpoint of prior art, fairly constitute characteristics of the generic or specific aspects of this invention.
