摘要：
An applicator comprising: a first arm having a first grasping tip that is arcuate, wherein the first grasping tip has a first inner side hosting a male portion; and a second arm having a second grasping tip that is arcuate, wherein the second grasping tip has a second inner side hosting a female portion, wherein the first inner side faces the second inner side, wherein the male portion and the female portion avoid mating when the first arm and the second arm are at a default position, wherein the male portion and the female portion mate when the first arm and the second arm are at a grasping position.
技术问题语段：
The technical issues addressed in this patent text are related to the storage and transport of lash extensions. The current method of storing lash extensions in a case can result in the lash extensions being displaced from the case during transport, which can damage the lash extensions or result in them being lost.
技术功效语段：
The technical efficacy of the patent text is that it describes various cases for storing lash extensions. These cases include features such as gaskets or inclined floors, which help to prevent the lash extensions from being displaced from the case during transport.
权利要求：
1. A case for storing artificial lash extensions comprising:
a body comprising:
a first outer sidewall having a first curved surface; and
a first plurality of storage slots recessed in the body and extending inward from the first curved surface of the first outer sidewall, wherein each of the first plurality of storage slots comprises a first floor that extends inward from the first curved surface; and
a gasket configured to releasably hold the artificial lash extensions in the first plurality of storage slots.
2. The case of claim 1, wherein the body further comprises:
a second outer sidewall opposite the first outer sidewall, the second outer sidewall having a second curved surface;
a second plurality of storage slots extending inward from the second curved surface of the second outer sidewall, wherein each the second plurality of storage slots comprises a second floor that extends inward from the respective curved surface; and
wherein the gasket configured to releasably hold the artificial lash extensions in the second plurality of storage slots.
3. The case of claim 2, wherein the body further comprises:
a first plurality of partitions that define the first plurality of storage slots; and
a second plurality of partitions that define the second plurality of storage slots.
4. The case of claim 3, wherein:
each of a first plurality of floors of the first plurality of storage slots are located between respective adjacent pairs of the first plurality of partitions, and
each of a second plurality of floors of the second plurality of storage slots are located between respective adjacent pair of the second plurality of partitions.
5. The case of claim 1, further comprising:
a lid configured to couple to the body.

6. A method of manufacturing a case for storing artificial lash extensions comprising: forming a body, the body comprising:
a first outer sidewall having a first curved surface; and
a first plurality of storage slots recessed in the body and extending inward from the first curved surface of the first outer sidewall, wherein each of the first plurality of storage slots comprises a first floor that extends inward from the first curved surface; and
forming a gasket configured to releasably hold the artificial lash extensions in the first plurality of storage slots.
7. The method of claim 6, wherein the body further comprises:
a second outer sidewall opposite the first outer sidewall, the second outer sidewall having a second curved surface;
a second plurality of storage slots extending inward from the second curved surface of the second outer sidewall, wherein each the second plurality of storage slots comprises a second floor that extends inward from the respective curved surface; and
wherein the gasket configured to releasably hold the artificial lash extensions in the second plurality of storage slots.
8. The method of claim 7, wherein the body further comprises:

a second plurality of partitions that define the second plurality of storage slots.
9. The method of claim 8, wherein:
each of a first plurality of floors of the first plurality of storage slots are located between respective adjacent pairs of the first plurality of partitions, and
each of a second plurality of floors of the second plurality of storage slots are located between respective adjacent pair of the second plurality of partitions.
10. The method of claim 6, further comprising:
forming a lid configured to couple to the body.
11. The case of claim 5 or the method of claim 10, wherein the gasket is part of the lid.
2019360273 20 Sep 2023
12. The case of claim 5 or the method of claim 10, wherein the gasket is separate from the
lid.
13. The case of claim 5 or the method of claim 11, wherein the body is configured to couple to the lid such that the gasket is positioned between the lid and the body.
14. The case of claim 1 or the method of claim 6, wherein the body and the gasket are configured to mate with one another.
15. The case of claim 1 or the method of claim 6, wherein the gasket comprises a plurality
of tabs that are flexible.
16. The case or method of claim 15, wherein the plurality of tabs are configured to releasably hold the artificial lash extensions in the first plurality of storage slots.
17. The case of claim 3 or the method of claim 8, wherein a plurality of tabs of the gasket
are configured to extend within respective ones of the first plurality of storage slots and the second plurality of storage slots, and configured to extend between respective ones of the first plurality of partitions and the second plurality of partitions.
18. The case or method of claim 15, wherein the plurality of tabs are spaced apart from each other and radially extend outwards.
19. The case or method of claim 15, wherein the plurality of tabs comprise projections each configured to contact respective ones of the artificial lash extensions located in respective storage slots of the first plurality of storage slots.
20. The case of claim 2 or the method of claim 7, wherein the first plurality of storage
slots and the second plurality of storage slots are configured such that the artificial lash extensions at least in part extend within respective storage slots.
21. The case or method of claim 20, wherein the first plurality of storage slots and the second plurality of storage slots are configured such that the artificial lash extensions extend entirely within respective storage slots.
