The disclosure and prior art relates to makeup devices and more particularly pertains to a new makeup device for facilitating a physically disabled user to grip makeup implements.
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a plurality of makeup implements. Each of the makeup implements is manipulated thereby facilitating makeup to be applied to a user. A plurality of first fasteners is provided. Each of the first fasteners is coupled to an associated one of the makeup implements. A glove is provided and the glove is worn. A plurality of second fasteners is provided. Each of the second fasteners is coupled to the glove. Each of the second fasteners is complementary with respect to the first fasteners. Thus, the makeup implements are removably retained on the glove thereby facilitating a physically disabled person to grip the makeup implements.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
As best illustrated in
A glove 16 is provided and the glove 16 may be worn. The glove 16 is comprised of a resiliently stretchable material. Thus, the glove 16 accommodates a variety of hand sizes. The glove 16 has a palm 18, a plurality of fingers 20 and a thumb 22. The glove 16 has a bottom surface 24. Each of the fingers 20 has a distal end 26 with respect to said palm 18. The thumb 22 has a distal end 28 with respect to the palm 18.
A plurality of second fasteners 30 is provided. Each of the second fasteners 30 is coupled to the glove 16. Each of the second fasteners 30 is complementary with respect to the first fasteners 14. Thus, the makeup implements 12 are removably retained on the glove 16 thereby facilitating a physically disabled person to grip the makeup implements 12. The physically disabled person may be suffering from cerebral palsy or a spinal injury. Thus, the physically disabled person may have limited grip strength.
A plurality of pads 32 is provided. Each of the pads 32 is coupled to associated ones of the fingers 20 and the thumb 22. Moreover, each of the pads 32 is comprised of an electrically conductive material. Thus, each of the pads 32 facilitates the user to manipulate a touch screen when the glove 16 is worn. The touch screen may be a screen on a smart phone or the like.
In use, each of the first fasteners 14 is attached to selected ones of the plurality of makeup implements 12. The glove 16 is worn to apply the makeup. The second fasteners 30 on the glove 16 engage the first fastener on a selected makeup implement. Thus, the selected makeup implement is retained on the glove 16. Each of the pads 32 facilitates a touch screen to respond to touch when the glove 16 is worn.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, system and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
