Abstract
Abstract The present invention provides a device which may be used during the application or removal of eyelash makeup. The device consists of a body of plastic material which is formed with a lip at its upper end which projects a substantial distance outwardly from the remainder of the body. The lip has an arcuate curvature conforming generally to the curvature of the human eye and is disposed in a plane which is substantially at right angles to the plane of the remainder of the body. The outer edge of the lip extends in a plane which is substantially parallel with the remainder. The upper end of the body which extends between the lip and the remainder of the body is formed with a curvature so as to fit around the underside of the eyeball of the user.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
147 words
A device for use in the application of eye makeup comprising, a body of plastic material having an upper end, a lower end, an inner surface and an outer surface, the upper end of said body curving outwardly from the remainder of the body, the inner surface of said upper end having a concave curvature decreasing progressively in its radius of gyration in a direction away from said main body to a plane in which the concave curvature conforms generally to the curvature of the human eyeball, and a lip portion projecting outwardly from said plane, the inner surface of said lip having a concave curvature substantially equal to the concave curvature at said plane, and a sufficient projected length to underly a portion of the eyeball in use with the outer edge of the lip directed away from the surface of the eye of the user.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
147 words
A device for use in the application of eye makeup comprising, a body of plastic material having an upper end, a lower end, an inner surface and an outer surface, the upper end of said body curving outwardly from the remainder of the body, the inner surface of said upper end having a concave curvature decreasing progressively in its radius of gyration in a direction away from said main body to a plane in which the concave curvature conforms generally to the curvature of the human eyeball, and a lip portion projecting outwardly from said plane, the inner surface of said lip having a concave curvature substantially equal to the concave curvature at said plane, and a sufficient projected length to underly a portion of the eyeball in use with the outer edge of the lip directed away from the surface of the eye of the user.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
A device as claimed in claim 1 wherein the lip has a projected length extending from said plane of at least about 0.064 inches.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
34 words
A device as claimed in claim 2 wherein the projected length of said lip is substantially uniform across the width of the device and is in the range of about 0.064 to 0.192 inches.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
42 words
A device as claimed in claim 1 wherein the lower end of the body has a width which is substantially less than the width of the upper end and the upper end of the body tapers in width towards the lower end.
