EA041971B1 - HANDLE-SHAPED NAIL GEL CONTAINER WITH GEL APPLICATION BRUSH AND LED FOR GEL CURE - Google Patents

Description

The invention relates to a pen or stylus that can be easily carried in a purse or jacket pocket and which allows you to quickly and safely apply nail gel to the nail, followed by polymerization using ultraviolet light. In a particular embodiment, the pen may contain an RFID or NFC chip, i. e. a transponder chip so that it can be placed on the nail with nail gel or self-adhesive material and gel coated so that it is held in place by the gel or gel polish, either visible in the case of a clear polish or invisible with a top coat or gel. Thus, the chip can be hidden under or over a nail polish or nail finishing system (gel polish, acrylic, wrap, etc.). In this way, the RFID chip can be elegantly attached to a natural or artificial nail or toenail. Regular nail polish lasts about 2-3 days after application, after which it becomes brittle and may chip. Nail gel or gel polish, on the other hand, needs to be applied much less frequently. After application, for example, with a brush, the gel hardens with a special ultraviolet light source, and the nail coated in this way remains beautiful for about 2 weeks, and the gel lasts for this period without loss of quality. When traveling, polymerization is often a problem because there is no suitable source of UV light on hand.

Therefore, the main objective of the present invention is to provide a portable device that contains everything necessary for the safe application of nail gel during travel and its polymerization on the nail using ultraviolet light. It is the object of a specific embodiment to provide such a device that additionally contains everything necessary to securely, discreetly and non-invasively connect an RFID chip to the human body in such a way that it can be carried everywhere and fixed on the body for any activity, and at the same time RFID - The chip could be removed or replaced at any time.

The problem is solved by using a pen with a closing cavity for receiving gel polish, a brush for applying it to the nail, and a LED-LEV LED lamp, powered by a battery or rechargeable battery, for ultraviolet radiation to polymerize the gel polish applied to the nail with a brush. An extended problem is solved by such a handle, additionally having a closable cavity for at least one RFID chip.

The drawings show an embodiment of this handle, and its structure and functions are described and explained below.

The drawings show:

fig. 1 - pen in perspective;

fig. 2 - handle side view;

fig. 3 - handle in longitudinal section;

fig. 4 - pen with two-piece body with a rotating gel cartridge and a container for one or more RFID chips.

Externally, the pen has a shape similar to that of a writing pen, of similar thickness and length, as shown in FIG. 1. Thus, it can be carried anywhere in a jacket pocket or purse, and is thus ready to go at any time. This pen contains many cavities and consists of a body 1 and a screw cap 2. At the front end of the pen 1, a light source 11 is built-in based on a light emitting diode LED (light emitting diode) or a levitating lamp LEV (levitating lamp) 11, that is, an LED or LEV lamp 11 which is closed and protected by an inner cone 13 opening outward. A clip 16, preferably made of metal, allows the handle to be fastened when worn, for example in an inside pocket of a jacket. This clip 16 may also be porous or have a rough surface to make it suitable for filing a natural or artificial nail. In addition, in a specific implementation, the pen can serve as a container for one or more chips, as will be shown below.

In FIG. 2 the handle is shown in side view. Opposite the clip 16 in the front part, a switch 12 is visible for turning on and off the LED or levitating lamp 11, which is visible in FIG. 1. Threaded cap 3 is screwed onto cover 2.

In FIG. 3 shows the handle in longitudinal section, giving a view of its interior. In the body of the pen 1 there is a cavity 7, made in the form of a blind hole, access to which opens when the cover 2 is unscrewed or removed. It is partially filled with gel polish 14 in the form of a special nail polish that hardens when exposed to ultraviolet radiation. At the lower end of the cap cap 2, a brush 5 protrudes from it in the axial direction, which can be inserted into a blind hole, that is, into the cavity 7 in the body of the pen 1, dipping into the gel polish 14 contained therein. The cap 2 can be hermetically screwed to the body handle 1, for which an external thread 6 is provided on the body of the handle 1, onto which the internal thread is screwed on the lower end of the cover 2. Instead of a threaded connection, a detachable connection with a latch can be used.

The brush 5 itself consists of a plastic handle with end flat bristles 17 suitable for applying liquid gel polish 14 to the nail. In a further embodiment, the body of the pen 1 may be configured to form a shallow compartment adjacent to the blind hole 7 for the gel polish 14, similar to a knife sheath, into which a nail file with a handle can be inserted.

At the lower end of the handle body 1, the handle body 1 has another blind lock opened downwards, which is formed as a battery compartment for receiving a battery 15 or a rechargeable battery. The body of the pen 1 may also be provided with a photovoltaic cell for continuously charging the battery when sufficient light falls on the cell. In addition, the body of the pen 1 can be equipped with an externally accessible USB connector for connecting the charging cable. At the lower end of the handle body 1, the latter forms a step and a cone, which is provided with an external thread 10. A sleeve 18 with a corresponding internal thread can be screwed onto this external thread 10, making and closing electrical contact with a battery 15, for example, a button battery for an LED or LEV - lamp 11 at the other end of the sleeve 18, which is located there in the inner cone 13, tapering outward to the lower edge of the sleeve 18. To turn on and off the lamp 11, a switch 12 is provided on the side of the pin housing 1.

Inside the cover 2, in the example shown, there is a cylindrical cavity 22 in the form of a blind hole. A plurality of RFID chips 21 can be inserted and stored in this cavity 22. The cavity 22 is closed on the lid 2 by a screw cap 3. The lid 2 can be equipped with a clip 16, as in a fountain pen.

Each of these RFID chips 21 can interact with the RFID or NFC system when it is sufficiently close to the transmitter/receiver of the RFID or NFC system. This RFID chip 21 acts as a transponder, colloquially referred to as a radio tag, and can be placed on an object or living being and contain an identifying code. The RFID or NFC system includes a reader for reading the ID of the detected RFID chip 21. RFID transponders may be the size of a grain of rice and may be implanted in, for example, pets or humans. It is also possible to manufacture RFID or NFC transponders using a special printing process for stable polymer circuits. The advantages of this technology are due to the combination of small size, the possibility of discreet reading and the low price of transponders, sometimes within euro cents. Communication is carried out using magnetic alternating fields generated by a reader at a short distance, or high-frequency radio waves. This allows not only to transmit data, but also to supply the transponder with energy. To achieve greater range, active transponders with their own power supply are used, but they are associated with a higher cost. The reader contains software in the form of firmware that controls the reading process and RFID middleware with interfaces to other EDP systems and databases. By identifying the RFID chip 21 on a person, a connection with a software application can be established, which allows it to be used in various fields and applications.

Filled with gel polish and equipped with 21 multiple RFID chips, this pen allows you to install such a 21 chip on a natural or artificial nail anytime, anywhere. To do this, the nail is prepared to the required degree with a nail file. The desired RFID chip 21 is then removed from the blind hole 22 after the screw cap 3 is unscrewed, and the screw cap 3 is screwed back to fix the remaining RFID chips 21 in it. Extraction can also be done by pushing out individual RFID or NFC chips 21. The cap 2 is then unscrewed or removed from the pen body 1. The gel can now be applied to the nail with a brush 5 while removing the gel polish 14 from the blind hole 7 in the pen body 1 The removed RFID chip 21 can be applied directly to a natural or artificial nail, since the gel can already be applied to it. Alternatively, this chip can be placed over an applied layer of polish or gel polish on the nail, and then varnished so that it is completely covered with polish or gel polish. Several coats of gel 14 can be applied until the RFID chip 21 is completely covered with gel polish. After that, the cover 2 is screwed or inserted back onto the body of the pen 1, and then the switch 12 is set to the ON position to turn on the LED or levitating (LEV) lamp 11. The emitted ultraviolet light is directed onto the gel polish 14 on the nail, which causes it to polymerize into for a few seconds. After the gel polish 14 has hardened, the RFID chip 21 is securely and imperceptibly or, if desired, noticeably, simply in a thin layer - it is located on the nail, embedded in the varnish or gel layer 14, respectively.

Thus, different RFID chips 21 can be attached to each of the different fingernails. For example, the chip can be used to initiate a financial transaction by NFC identification of the payer, who simply has to hold a fingernail with the corresponding RFID chip 21 near the transmitter/reader installed for this purpose. Another nail with a different RFID chip 21 can be used to unlock and lock a car door, for example, another to control an apartment door lock, etc. One chip can also provide the ability to run multiple applications.

In FIG. 4 shows an embodiment of a pen with a housing 1 divided into two parts - an upper housing 4 and a lower housing 9. In this embodiment, the gel may be contained in a cartridge 19 which is placed in a cavity 7 in the lower housing 9. This cartridge 19 may be provided with a brush with flat bristles 20, which protrudes from it and to the bristles of which a channel leads, so that on the bristles

20 the gel is delivered directly from the cartridge by capillary action or by squeezing the cartridge. Compared to the embodiments of FIG. 1-3 the brush is in the handle rotated by 180° and after removing the cap 2 the brush can be guided directly with the handle. In the lower part of the pen body 9 there is a gel cartridge 19, which is connected to the pen body 9. Together with the upper body of the pen 4, in which the cartridge is also held, a swivel mechanism can be implemented. Then both parts 4, 9 of the handle body can be twisted relative to each other, while the cartridge 19 of rubber elastic material is twisted. By reducing the filling volume of the cartridge 19, the gel is delivered to the bristles 20. The body of the handle 1 may be provided with a shallow compartment, similar to a knife sheath, into which a nail file can be inserted, while the cover 2 forms the handle of this file. In this case, the cover 2 is held on the handle body 1 in a purely axial manner by means of a snap mechanism, and is not screwed onto it. Alternatively, the nail file can be provided at the rear end so that, after removal, it can be mounted together with the lid 2 so that the lid 2 serves as a handle for the nail file, or similarly, the nail file can be mounted together with the body 1 so that the body 1 serves as its handle. pen. With this gel polish filled pen, gel polish can be applied anywhere, even on the go, on natural or artificial nails. To do this, the nail is prepared with a nail file as much as necessary. Then, with the help of a brush 5, gel polish 14 is taken from a blind hole-cavity 7 in the body of the handle 1 and applied to the nail so that it is completely covered or coated as desired with varnish or gel polish. Several layers of gel 14 may be applied. The cap 2 is then screwed on or put back on the pen body, and then the switch 12 is turned on so that the LED or levitating (LEV) lamp 11 turns on and emits ultraviolet light. The emitted ultraviolet light is directed to the gel polish 14 on the nail, which ensures its polymerization within a few seconds. Thus, the gel can be cured directly in place. Thus, gel polish can be applied and polymerized on different nails of one hand with the help of the other hand and this device.
