Novelty eye patch with artificial eye or eyelid
Abstract
A novelty eye patch with a retaining, elastic band connected to a gag, false eye, eyelid or other embodiment, concealed beneath the patch. The patch and false eye or lid will be adjoined by a small, hidden spring, built onto two (2) hard wire frames. The spring will compress the false eye or lid against the user's real eye while allowing the patch to be lifted, revealing the gaff eye or lid. The two (2) steel wire frames will be concealed, along with the adjoining spring. One wire frame will be sewn into the outer circumference of the eye patch while the other frame will be molded into the underlying gaff or falsetto eye, to conceal their identity while maintaining stability to the patch and the gaff. Opposing force, created by the hidden spring, will compress downward the false eye or lid firmly against the user's real-eyelid, while maintaining a constant upward force of pressure on the patch. The spring will include a locking clip to keep the patch lowered to the position of the user's eye until such time that the user elects to lift the patch to reveal the gaff. This pressure will make lifting the patch more simplistic, while conversely maintaining an opposing force against the gaff eye or lid thereby preserving firmness of the gaff onto the user's real eyelid.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A novelty interactive eye patch comprising:
an eye patch having a supporting frame about at least a portion of the patch perimeter, and a locking spring affixed to the frame for continuously placing upward pressure on the patch; a concealed, underlying aperture constructed to appear as a deformity, oddity, or representation of humor supported on a further supporting frame affixed to the locking spring continuously placing downward pressure on the aperture; and wherein the locking spring continuously submits force in opposite directions against the supporting frame and the further supporting frame.
2 . The novelty eye patch in accordance with claim 1 wherein the underlying aperture is constructed of durable, rubber or plastic, and is painted or molded to have the appearance of a human eye.
3 . The novelty eye patch in accordance with claim 1 wherein the patch is formed of fabric and the supporting frame is sewn into the perimeter of the patch to secure the patch to the supporting frame.
4 . The novelty eye patch in accordance with claim 1 wherein the locking spring is permanently affixed to both of the supporting frames.
5 . The novelty eye patch in accordance with claim 4 wherein the locking spring places opposing force against the two supporting frames, as to the patch and as to the aperture.
6 . The novelty eye patch in accordance with claim 5 wherein the release of the eye patch from the aperture projects the eye patch upward, thereby revealing the aperture.
7 . The novelty eye patch in accordance with claim 5 wherein the release of the eye patch from the aperture forces downward tension on the aperture to secure it against the user's eyelid, thereby stabilizing the aperture.
8 . The novelty eye patch in accordance with claim 1 wherein a false eyeball is incorporated into the aperture.
9 . The novelty eye patch in accordance with claim 1 wherein a robotic-like eye with an LED fixture is incorporated into the aperture.
10 . The novelty eye patch in accordance with claim 1 wherein a false eyelid is incorporated into the aperture.
11 . The novelty eye patch in accordance with claim 1 wherein an LED aperture is incorporated.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
