Eyelash Isolation Hook and Spreader Tool

Abstract

An eyelash isolation tool having a body extending between a first lash-engaging member and a second lash-engaging member. The body comprises the first lash-engaging member at one end and the second lash-engaging member at another end. The first lash-engaging member and second lash-engaging member each configured to engage a set of eyelashes. The first lash-engaging member and second lash-engaging member positioned relative to one another to define a lash-isolation region for separating a controlled portion of the set of eyelashes from a working portion.

1 . An eyelash isolation tool comprising:
 a body extending between a first lash-engaging member and a second lash-engaging member;   the body comprises the first lash-engaging member at one end and the second lash-engaging member at another end;   said first lash-engaging member and second lash-engaging member each configured to engage a set of eyelashes; and   said first lash-engaging member and second lash-engaging member positioned relative to one another to define a lash-isolation region for separating a controlled portion of said set of eyelashes from a working portion.   
     
     
         2 . The eyelash isolation tool of  claim 1 , comprising:
 an inward engagement configuration wherein,   said first lash-engaging member and second lash-engaging member extend inwardly toward one another to draw said controlled portion of lashes aside.   
     
     
         3 . The eyelash isolation tool of  claim 2 , wherein:
 said body, the first lash-engaging member and the second lash-engaging member are integrally formed from a resilient polymeric or metallic material.   
     
     
         4 . The eyelash isolation tool of  claim 2 , wherein:
 said body defines a bend to provide spring tension between said lash-engaging members.   
     
     
         5 . The eyelash isolation tool of  claim 2 ,
 wherein said first lash-engaging member has a substantially square cross-section configured to engage and restrain a greater number of lashes, and   said second lash-engaging member has a curved cross-section configured to facilitate release of lashes after isolation.   
     
     
         6 . The eyelash isolation tool of  claim 2 , comprising:
 the body having a straight bar.   
     
     
         7 . The eyelash isolation tool of  claim 2 , wherein:
 said two lash-engaging members are configured to pull the controlled portion of the set of eyelashes away from said working portion to improve working accuracy when working with said working portion; and   accordingly, said eyelash isolation tool is useful to isolate said controlled portion from said working portion during the installation and management of eyelash extensions.   
     
     
         8 . The eyelash isolation tool of  claim 1 , comprising:
 an outward engagement configuration;   wherein said first lash-engaging member and second lash-engaging member
 connect at opposite ends of said body and 
 extend outwardly away from one another and said body; 
   said eyelash isolation tool comprises a lash gap between a two lash-engaging members;   said lash gap comprises a gap width;   said eyelash isolation tool in the outward engagement configuration is configured to engage the controlled portion of said set of eyelashes on opposite sides thereof with said two lash-engaging members, thereby urging the working portion of said set of eyelashes outward and away from said controlled portion and defining the lash gap having the gap width.   
     
     
         9 . The eyelash isolation tool of  claim 8 , wherein:
 said body, the first lash-engaging member and the second lash-engaging member are integrally formed from a resilient polymeric or metallic material.   
     
     
         10 . The eyelash isolation tool of  claim 8 , wherein:
 said body defines a bend to provide spring tension between said lash-engaging members.   
     
     
         11 . The eyelash isolation tool of  claim 8 , comprising:
 said body having a bend and two body sides;   said body having a “U” shape;   wherein, said “U” shape comprises said bend at the bend in the “U” and the two body sides comprise the sides of the “U”.   
     
     
         12 . The eyelash isolation tool of  claim 8 , wherein
 the two lash-engaging members are substantially parallel with one another.   
     
     
         13 . The eyelash isolation tool of  claim 12 , wherein
 said body comprises a body height, and   when positioned within said set of eyelashes,
 said eyelash isolation tool is configured to rotate about said two lash-engaging members using said body as a lever to move said body out of the working field. 
   
     
     
         14 . An eyelash isolation tool comprising:
 a body extending between a first lash-engaging member and a second lash-engaging member;   the body comprises the first lash-engaging member at one end and the second lash-engaging member at another end;   said first lash-engaging member and second lash-engaging member each configured to engage a set of eyelashes;   said first lash-engaging member and second lash-engaging member positioned relative to one another to define a lash-isolation region for separating a controlled portion of said set of eyelashes from a working portion;   an outward engagement configuration;   wherein said first lash-engaging member and second lash-engaging member
 connect at opposite ends of said body and 
 extend outwardly away from one another and said body; 
   said eyelash isolation tool comprises a lash gap between a two lash-engaging members;   said lash gap comprises a gap width;   said eyelash isolation tool in the outward engagement configuration is configured to engage the controlled portion of said set of eyelashes on opposite sides thereof with said two lash-engaging members, thereby urging the working portion of said set of eyelashes outward and away from said controlled portion and defining the lash gap having the gap width;   said body having a bend and two body sides;   said body having a “U” shape; and   wherein, said “U” shape comprises said bend at the bend in the “U” and the two body sides comprise the sides of the “U”.   
     
     
         15 . An eyelash isolation tool comprising:
 a body extending between a first lash-engaging member and a second lash-engaging member;   the body comprises the first lash-engaging member at one end and the second lash-engaging member at another end;   said first lash-engaging member and second lash-engaging member each configured to engage a set of eyelashes;   said first lash-engaging member and second lash-engaging member positioned relative to one another to define a lash-isolation region for separating a controlled portion of said set of eyelashes from a working portion;   an inward engagement configuration wherein,   said first lash-engaging member and second lash-engaging member extend inwardly toward one another to draw said controlled portion of lashes aside;   said two lash-engaging members are configured to pull the controlled portion of the set of eyelashes away from said working portion to improve working accuracy when working with said working portion; and   accordingly, said eyelash isolation tool is useful to isolate said controlled portion from said working portion during the installation and management of eyelash extensions.
