LIP SHIELD Filed Dec. 10, 1952 y m. 1/4 5mm;-
fltazvzex I Patented Feb. 27, 1934 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE Application December 10, 1932 Serial No. 646,638
As is well known, it is now common practice for persons to attempt to beautify themselves by heavily painting their lips with colored lotions, which material is often smeared from the lips to the face or transferred to the clothing while dressing or undressing, much to the annoyance of the users and injury to their clothing, and an object of this invention is to provide a simple means for avoiding such annoyances and damages.
This shield is of great importance to the trade handling ladies fine goods, such as dresses and the like, where theircustomers try on many dresses before making a purchase, so that-each garment shown and tried on is subjected to a hazard of being damaged by lip lotions both when placed on and taken off, in the event that the customers lips are heavily painted with lip-stick or lotions, the colors of which are semiindelible so that a garment soiled by them is no longer salable as undamaged goods. Many thousands of dollars are lost annually to dealers in this manner, and one of the objects of this invention is to provide a simple means for preventing the loss.
It is relatively easy and simple for a dealer to offer the customers shields to protect their lips while trying on the dresses, the shields being beneficial to both the customers and the dealers; and it is quite obvious that wearers of exceedingly fine and costly clothing will want these shields for their individual use.
This shield is especially adapted for the use of theatrical people who, at the opening of the day, have their faces made up with colored rouge best suited for photographic work, in which make-up the lips of the actors are heavily painted; and an object of this invention is to provide a simple means for shielding their lips so that in repeated changes of costumes the coloring will not be smeared either over their faces or clothing or their make-up marred.
A feature of invention is shown in providing a shield with an elongated tongue so it can be held between a persons teeth with the shield out of contact with the lips, but in a position to shield them from contact with the hands or clothing while dressing or undressing.
other objects, advantages and features of invention may appear from the accompanying drawing, the subjoined detailed description and the appended claims.
The accompanying drawing illustrates the invention, in which:
Figure l is a front view of a lip-shield that is constructed in accordance with this invention.
Fig. 2 is an edge or side view of the shield shown in Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is an enlarged section on line 3-3, Fig. 1, showing the detailed construction of the shield when formed of a fiat piece of fibrous material such as paper.
Fig. 4 is a sectional view analogous to the shield shown in Fig. 3, showing how it would appear when formed of rubber.
Figs. 5 and 6 show plan end edge views of a blank stamped out of a sheet of fibrous material ready to be folded, bent and secured into the form of a lip-shield shown in Figs. 1 to 3 -76 inclusive.
Fig. 7 is a perspective view of a lady holding a lip-shield in her teeth to protect her lips from the garment before her face, showing the shield out of contact but covering her lips, and 80 for the sake of clearness in the drawing the cover and tongue of the shield are shown in section.
The lip-shield 10 can be formed of any suitable material and made in various ways, two forms of which are shown in the drawing. In Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 7 it is formed of sheet material, such as paper, out or stamped out as shown in Figs. 5 and 6; and in Fig. 4 it is shown as molded or stamped out into a finished form as when made of rubber or fibrous material in semiplastic form such as paper pulp.
When the lip-shield is formed as shown in Fig. 1 a blank is cut or stamped out of a sheet of flexible fibrous material with the blank having the semi-elliptical parts 11 and 12 that are integral with the ends of the center rectangular part 13. This center part can be folded on the dotted lines 14, 15 and 16 to form the tongue 17.
The part 11 has a flap 18 that is extended over the part 12 and drawn taut to force the part 11 into a concavo-convex form, after which the flap 18 is secured by paste or glue to the part 12; and also the part 12 has a flap 19 that is extended over the part 11 and drawn taut to force the part 12 into a concavo-convex form substantially like the term of part 11, after which the flap 19 is secured by paste or glue to the part 11, so that when finished the lip shield will be concavo-convex in form with the tongue 17 extending outwardly from its concave side. When so formed the tongue 17 is a double thickness of the material, and also the flaps 18 and 19 as drawn over and secured to their respective parts 11 and 12 function to reinforce the shield adjacent its center and on the convex side thereof. The tongue, when stamped out of plastic material, such as paper pulp or molded from rubber, is a single thickness, as shown in Fig. 4. In each instance the tongue extends outwardly from the concave side 20 of the lip-shield 10 a suflicient distance for it to be inserted between the users teeth and held over and out of contact with their lips, as illustrated in Fig. 7.
It is assumed in Fig. 7 that the ladys lips are colored with a cherry red rouge that would readily stain or ruin the white garment before her should they inadvertently come into contact, and the lip-shield is held so such a contact is avoided. Also in thisv figure the lip-shield is shown in section to better illustrate that his out of contact with the lips so the lotion or colored rouge thereon will not be smeared on the face and also that the shield holds the dress goods 21 out of contact with the lips. "I'he goods 21 is semidiagrammatically shown in this figure.
The lip-shields are used as hereinbefore shown and described.
Having described my invention, I claim:
1. A lip-shield including a cover that is elliptical in form and having concave and convex sides, said cover comprising overlapping semi-elliptical portions, flaps integral with said portions that are arranged oppositely to one another so they can be drawn over and secured to said semielliptical portions to hold them in position to form said cover, and a tongue integral with said cover that is extended outwardly and centrally from the concave side thereof so said tongue can be engaged by a persons teeth to hold said cover over, but out of contact, with said persons painted lips.
2. A lip-shield including a blank that can be stamped out of flexible material and having a center rectangular portion, oppositely arranged semi-elliptical portions that are integral with the ends of said center portion, and flap portions integral with said semi-elliptical portions, said portions of said blank folded, drawn to a predetermined form and secured together to thereby form a lip-shield having a concave side adapted to extend over a persons lips and having a tongue extended from the concave side thereof that can be engaged by a persons teeth to hold said lip-shield over but out of contact with a persons lips.
3. A lip-shield including a blank stamped from a sheet of flexible material, a center rectangular portion to said blank, oppositely arranged semielliptical parts that are integral with saidcenter portion, a rounded flap to each of said semielliptical parts that are folded over, drawn taut and each secured to its opposite semi-elliptical part to thereby form an elliptical lip cover having convex and concave sides, said rectangular portion folded on its self to form a tongue of double thickness that is extended from the concave side of said lip cover beyond the peripheral edge thereof that can be engaged by a persons teeth to hold the lip cover over but out of contact with his or her lips.
