Abstract
An artificial eyebrow is set forth wherein a flexible, polymeric membrane includes a matrix of human hair filaments adhesively mounted about rows of base filaments in staggered array to simulate human spacing of hair follicles. The membrane includes an adhesive base with a peel-away strip mounted thereon. The degree of fullness of the eyebrow may be effected by utilizing alternating rows of varying thickness hair follicles mounted to the base filaments.
Claims1
An artificial eyebrow construction comprising,
- a flexible planar support membrane defining an arcuate perimeter, and
- securement means for mounting the support membrane onto a forehead surface of an individual, and
- a plurality of rows of base filaments directed longitudinally of the support membrane, and
- a matrix of eyebrow filaments secured to the base filaments, and
- wherein the flexible planar support membrane is formed of a thin, polymeric material, and
- wherein the securement means includes an adhesive laminated to a bottom surface of the support membrane, and
- further including a flexible, polymeric backing surface removably mounted to the adhesive, wherein the adhesive is defined as a laminated sheet coextensive with the bottom surface of the support membrane, and includes a finger grasping tab extending exteriorly of the backing surface formed in a single plane therewith, and
- wherein the base filaments are defined by elongate human hair filaments, and
- wherein the eyebrow filaments are defined by "U" shaped human hair filaments secured to each of the base filaments, and
- wherein each of the "U" shaped human hair filaments is offset relative to a "U" shaped hair filament in an adjoining row or human hair filaments secured to an adjacent base filament, and
- wherein "U" shaped human hair filaments of adjacent rows are of varying cross-sectional thickness.
