Abstract

A method and apparatus of an eyelash application system can include: a cartridge having a handle, a seat, and a cartridge mating structure; an eyelash strip attached to the seat of the cartridge; and an applicator having a top arm with a clamping pad, the clamping pad including an applicator mating structure configured to interlock with the cartridge mating structure.

Claims

1. An eyelash application system comprising:

a cartridge having a handle, a seat, a clip extending from above the seat and the clip is narrower than the handle, and a cartridge mating structure;

an eyelash strip attached to the seat of the cartridge with the clip of the cartridge being wider than the eyelash strip; and

an applicator having a top arm with a clamping pad, the clamping pad including an applicator mating structure configured to interlock with the cartridge mating structure.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein the eyelash strip is attached to the seat of the cartridge with an adhesive.

3. The system of claim 1 wherein the clamping pad is made of a pliable material.

4. The system of claim 1 wherein the applicator further includes a bottom arm coupled to the top arm with a hinge and the bottom arm including a second clamping pad configured to contact the clamping pad of the top arm.

5. The system of claim 4 wherein the width of the top arm is more than five times the thickness of the combination of the second clamping pad on the bottom arm and the clamping pad on the top arm.

6. The system of claim 1 wherein the eyelash strip overhangs the seat.

7. The system of claim 1 wherein the eyelash strip includes a lash that curves toward the clip.

8. The system of claim 1 wherein the clamping pad of the top arm includes a concave portion.

9. A method of manufacturing an eyelash application system comprising:

providing a cartridge having a handle, a seat, a clip extending from above the seat and the clip is narrower than the handle, and a cartridge mating structure;

attaching an eyelash strip to the seat of the cartridge with the clip of the cartridge being wider than the eyelash strip; and

cartridge; and

attaching a clamping pad to a top arm of an applicator, the clamping pad including an applicator mating structure configured to interlock with the cartridge mating structure.

10. The method of claim 9 wherein attaching the clamping pad includes attaching the clamping pad having a concave portion.

11. The method of claim 9 wherein attaching the eyelash strip includes attaching the eyelash strip with an adhesive to the seat of the cartridge.

12. The method of claim 9 further comprising coupling a bottom arm to the top arm with a hinge.

13. The method of claim 12 further comprising attaching a second clamping pad to the bottom arm.

14. The method of claim 9 wherein attaching the eyelash strip includes attaching the eyelash strip to the seat and overhanging the seat.

15. A method of operating an eyelash application system comprising:

acquiring a cartridge having a handle, a seat, a clip extending from above the seat and the clip is narrower than the handle, a cartridge mating structure and an eyelash strip adhered to the cartridge with the clip of the cartridge being wider than the eyelash strip;

coupling an applicator to the cartridge by interlocking the cartridge mating structure with an applicator mating structure; and

attaching the eyelash strip to a user'"'"'s eyelash base of a user'"'"'s eyelid.

16. The method of claim 15 further comprising adhering the eyelash strip to a user'"'"'s eyelid.

17. The method of claim 15 wherein interlocking the cartridge mating structures with the applicator mating structures includes clicking the applicator onto the cartridge.

18. The method of claim 15 wherein coupling the applicator includes coupling the applicator having a clamping pad with a concave portion.

19. The method of claim 18 wherein coupling the applicator includes coupling the applicator to the cartridge with the clamping pad provided with the applicator mating structure.
