IMPLEMENT FOR APPLYING FLASE EYELASHES TO A HUMAN EYELID
First Claim
1. An applicator for applying a false eyelash to a human eyelid in a manner such that vision of the user in both eyes is substantially unobstructed to permit the user to have stereoscopic vision and good depth perception during the application of the eyelash, said applicator comprising a pair of elongated straight flexible resilient coextensive members, means joining said members at one common pair of ends thereof to permit said members to be flexed toward one another from an idle position in which they are separated, each of said members having integral therewith at the other end thereof an elongated flexible resilient jaw which constitutes an extension of the member and which tapers in width from the width of the member at said end to the tip of the jaw, said jaws being flat from side to side, each said jaw being disposed at an obtuse angle with respect to the member of which it is an extension, said jaws having facing surfaces of substantially matching configuration whereby the same are approximately parallel in idle position of the members, the jaws being spaced apart in idle position of the members, the longitudinal axes of one member and its associated jaw defining one plane, the longitudinal axes of the other member and its associated jaw defining a second plane, said two planes being coincident, the central plane between the members and the central plane between the jaws being inclined to one another at said obtuse angle, so that when the jaws are moved into engagement with one another by manual manipulation of the members, the tips of the jaws will close upon opposite sides of the common plane between the jaws to clamp the strands of a false eyelash between them in order that the members, during application of a false eyelash to an eyelid, will be in a plane perpendicular to the length of the false eyelash strands and out of the line of vision of the user, and the lengths of the jaws will be tangential to the eyelid.

Abstract
A false-eyelash applicator constituting a pair of substantially parallel elongated shanks integral with a pair of elongated tips, at least one tip is flexible and the tips are at such angles with respect to their associated shanks that when the shanks are manipulated to force the tips into contact with one another, the tips engage on opposite sides of a plane which is at an angle to the plane between the shanks.
