  • Patent number: 8388648
    Abstract: Tweezers for cosmetic use having two branches (3) with one metallic extremity (2) for seizing small objects, the maximum width of both branches (3) being greater than half the average width of the resting surface of the thumb of an adult user of average corpulence when said tweezers are actuated, and the maximum length of both branches (3) being less than the average length of the thumb of an adult of average corpulence. Even a person of reduced dexterity is thus capable of easily holding the inventive tweezers between two fingers to close them. Furthermore, the width of the branches (3) prevents the latter from sliding between the user's fingers and/or the tweezers from turning involuntarily when they are closed, even strongly or askew.
