Lip builder

Abstract

Presented is a new and revolutionary device for exercising the facial muscles and lips. It's simplistic in that it is finger and hand operated and uses a clothespin like action, pivoting over an axle, with a closing return spring to exercise the facial muscles and lips. The control of the Lip Builder is unique in that the user can do a full range of motion resistance exercises or hold a steady pressure against the resisting lips for isometric exercises, or one may vary the pressure against the lips as you exercise with a full range of motion thereby doing an isotonic exercise. Its handles are designed at an angle for the user to create a pulling away action from the gums to avoid any discomfort upon exercising and an opening is left upon fully closing the Lip Builder to avoid the user pinching his or her lips.

1 . A lip and facial exerciser, and of the type having lip engaging pieces for engaging the lips of a person's mouth with hand operated expandable means for expanding and closing lips apart vertically and parallel for exercising purposes, the improvement comprising of:
 two, wide, finger and hand, angled, operating handles, pivoting over an axle with a return spring, having two forms in which to place your lips, specifically angled to allow a parallel, vertical movement, lip and facial exerciser, allowing a full range of motion, offering variable, resistance, isometric, and isotonic facial and lip exercises.

         3 . A facial and lip exerciser of  claim 1  that is hand operated supporting 3 types of variable resistance exercises: Resistance, Isometric, and Isotonic. 
     
     
         4 . According to  claim 1 , the lip forms are designed so that the handles close with two points of contacts behind the lip forms and away from the facial lips, so the forms do not touch together in the closed position while exercising, to avoid the risk of pinching the user's lips upon fully closing the device.
