Abstract

Tweezers with detachable light unit 4 and anti-slip buttons 2 for removing hair are provided. The tweezers are also provided with a circular base 1 (see fig 3), which makes them capable of standing up on a flat surface. The light unit may comprise an LED light source, and may provide different colours of light.

Description

Stand alone tweezers with detachable light emitting diode light

unit

FIELD OF INVENTION

This invention relates to a stand alone tweezers with stable circle design base, anti-slip finger buttons and comprising light diode light unit for removing unwanted hair.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The use of conventional tweezers can lead to a number of difficulties; there are few main problems as following: Firstly, it is well Imown that tweezers made of 2 leaf spring type limbs which combined together at the end by heating. However, most people's fingers feel uncomfortable when use this kind of tweezers by pressing hard on the thin limbs. Furthennore, it has being a problem for many tweezers that the junction of limbs comes loose and crack easily after daily used.

Secondly, it is very difficult to use conventional tweezers in wet circumstances. For example, many people wouid like to extract their unwanted hair during having a bath. However, it is very difficult for people to use the conventional tweezers in this kind of environment with their wet hand due to the limbs of conventional tweezers become very slippery.

Thirdly, most conventional tweezers do not has detachable LED light unit. Furthermore, most of them do not have on/off switch button. To use this kind of conventional illuminated tweezers have to keep their hands pressing limbs to connect power to bulb.

Fourthly, due to most of conventional tweezers are small and can not stand alone, it has been continue problem for some people in finding their tweezers in dress table, cabinet...

In according, none of the prior art disclosed a cosmetic tweezers which could be used convenient in anywhere, anytime and some difficult circumstances with one piece body, stand alone feature, anti-slip button, and comprising with detachable light unit which controlled by an on/off switch button. To overcome these problems, the present invention proposes a tweezers which not only convenient in daily use, but also can be used in wet environment, cool weather, dark place, which is versatility, portable and ease of use, also simplicity in design and manuthcture.

ADVANTAGES OF THE INVENTION

This invention of tweezers will provide many advantages to people's lives. And I have divided them into 18 main points in below: 1. This invention of tweezers is much more durable than conventional heating-combined tweezers due to it made of one piece of metal, and its two limbs can get back to original position easily after being pressed during removing unwanted hair.

2. This invention has unique circle base at the end of tweezers, which would not get crack and come loose after daily use.

3. The unique circle base creates an efficient distance between two limbs for precision hair removal.

4. This invention of tweezers can stand alone due to its unique circle base.

S. This tweezers has an anti-slip finger button tnserted in each limb, as result of that it can be used as easy as normal th wet hands in slippery circumstance.

6. To use conventional tweezers, people have to press their fingers at the cool metal limbs. However, for this invention, due to the finger button is made of plastic which do not get cool as metal in winter, people can use it comfortable even in cool environment.

7. The central part of the finger button is lower than edges to fit fingers and makes fingers feel comfortable while applying pressure.

8. The angled blade of limbs can grasp the offending hair easily, and make tweezing simple and painless.

9. the invention is an illuminated tweezers attached light-emitting diode (LED) light unit, and the LED light could be changed to different colour to suit for different skins and environment 10. The LED light aids people in locating tweezers and extracting offending hair ii. The tweezers using electrons as power source, which is easy to be replaced.

12. The light unit is portable due to it compacted with LED light, electrons, on/off switch button, semiconductor device and closed by tightening a screw at the bottom of the cell.

13. The lighting unit is detachable.

14. The on/off switch button is easy and convenient for people to use.

IS. The tweezers can be used as emergency illumination after switching on the on/off button.

16. The lighting unit can be detached from the tweezers after unscrew the bottom.

17. This tweezers is great convenience of use in that it can be used anywhere at anytime.

18. The compact construction of this invention enhances portability for carrying in a purse, pocket or standing up on the dress table and cabinet.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Figures 1-3 depict different views of the tweezers without light unit.

Firstly, as you can see from figure 1, the main body including base I and limbs lb made of one piece metal is more durable and would not get crack in daily using.

Secondly, the unique designed circle base 1, which like a bowl with hole in the middle as showed in figure 3, makes the tweezers can stand alone with or without the light unit 4 which showed in figures 4-7. Also, base I creates a distance from 0.7cm to 0.95 cm between two tips Id of limbs Lb. which is the best distance of tips ld for precision hair removal. Furthermore, this base I can reduce the pressure affecting at itself while pressure being applied on limbs. As a result of that, the tweezers is more durable.

Thirdly, due to two anti-slip plastic finger buttons 2 inserted into each limb I b, this tweezers can be used with wet hands or in slippery environment. Also, the colour of plastic buttons 2 could be changed for people various demands and favours, such as young girls like pink colour, men like dark and brown colour, women like purple and gold colour.. .moreover, the central part of the plastic button 2 is lower than all edges 2a to suit the shape of fingers, this special shape enhances the anti-slip function of the tweezers and make fingers feel comfortable during extracting unwanted hair.

Fourthly, the hole Ia in each limb lb as shown in figure 3 aids to reduce the pressure passing through from the plastic button to the base while removing offending hair. Also, the hole I a could be in various shapes according to people's different demands and favours.

Finally, when finger pressure is applied on plastic button 2, the tips Id of limbs lb get together tightly to extract unwanted hair. The tips I d could be made in different shape as slanted, straight, round... for removing different types of hait For example, using slanted tips for eyebrow; using straight tips for fcial hair; and using round tips for nose hair. In addition, the angled top part Ic help tweezing simple and painless.

Figure 4-6 show different views of the tweezers attached with lighting unit. It can be seen as following: I. The light unit 4 located stably between two limbs lb by tightening screw 3 atbasel.

2. as depicted in figure 4, buttons 2 has to be located higher than light unit 4 to avoid any hindrance from the body of light unit 4 while being applied pressure.

3. Number 7 shows the direction of the LED light while switching on the on/off button 5 at the light unit 4.

4. The on/off button number 5 is very easy to use and convenient even in emergencies. For example, using the on/off button 5 could switch flash light of LED 6 to show location if get lost in dark environment.

Furthermore, combining with the stand alone feature, this tweezers could works as illumination by standing alone to help women to check or put on their make up in dark environment.

In figure 7, the light unit 6 located stably by tightening screw 10 which with spring to help connect the power source of electron 8 to the LED 6. The light of LED could be changed to various colours with different semiconductor device 9. Accordingly, different colours of light may be useful for different colours of hair and skin, and in different environments. For example, for light colour skin, the red or brown colour may be preferred; in a dark room, a bright yellow, white or blue light might be preferred.

figure 8 depicts a gap between screw 3 and light unit 4, which used to fix the fight unit 4 to the base I of tweezers. as a result of that, the light unit 4 is stable located between the limbs.
