Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fingernail radiation device for curing photopolymerizable plastics on fingernails with a housing which has a base plate in which a support body with grooves on the outer contour for positioning the fingers of the hand to be irradiated is arranged, and with at least one irradiation lamp at least partially encloses the support body in the irradiation position at a distance, the support body being accessible in the irradiation position via a housing opening.
  • Such a fingernail radiation device is known from US Pat. No. 4,731,541.
  • This device has, for example, a column-like support which can be fastened to a table top with a clamping screw, at the end of which a housing with a circular outer contour is arranged.
  • This housing has, on its underside, the side assigned to the table top or the base plate of the support arm, an insertion opening into which a plate-shaped support body can be moved in and out centrally fastened to a telescopic rod.
  • a ring-shaped irradiation lamp forming a closed circle is attached in the center of the telescopic rod.
  • the support body which is very flat in the form of a plate, has grooves on its outer edge which serve to position a hand clasping the plate.
  • the support body is gripped by hand from below in such a way that the fingers rest with the last limbs on the top of the support body.
  • the fingernails are in this position aligned horizontally and point in the direction of the support arm arranged in the center of the plate. Depending on the length of the fingernails, they reach up to the support arm.
  • the plate clasped in this way is then, guided on the support arm, moved into the housing in an upper position.
  • the radiation emitted by the radiation lamp which runs slightly with its axis above the top of the support plate, is reflected by the upper housing area and an additional reflector on the fingers and the fingernails to be hardened. After the end of the irradiation, the plate can be pulled out of the housing again.
  • DE-GM 85 13 789 Another concept for a fingernail radiation device is known from DE-GM 85 13 789.
  • This device has a support plate with a plurality of low-pressure fluorescent tubes which are arranged parallel to one another in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the housing and form a tunnel.
  • DE-GM 86 09 293 Another device for curing light-curing plastics on fingernails is known from DE-GM 86 09 293.
  • This device is equipped with several, in a specific embodiment four, elongated UV radiation sources, which are arranged to form a tunnel; the structure of this device is the same as that known from DE-GM 85 13 789.
  • the housing of this device can be swiveled upwards around a rear axis.
  • tips attached to short or broken fingernails which are worked with UV-curing plastics. Tips with a length of up to 5 cm are used to attach an artificial fingernail. The attached tip, which runs out on the top of the natural fingernail, must then be worked on to even out the heels. Here, a plastic mass is repeatedly applied and repeatedly cured. Only after the attached fingernails have been worked on, are they shortened to the desired length and normally painted.
  • the present invention is based on the object of an irradiation device, as described at the outset, to provide a device which meets the requirements which ensures uniform irradiation of all fingernails of both the left and right hand, the of radiation emanating from the irradiation lamp essentially strikes the fingernails to be hardened, in which fingernails can also be irradiated of great length and during the irradiation there is a comfortable hand position, even over a longer period in the range of half a minute.
  • the support body has an approximately cylindrical or frustoconical outer contour at least in the area of the grooves, the grooves being in the form of grooves which run essentially in the direction of the axis of the support body and the axis of the support body being one Includes angles in the range 0 to 90 ° with the surface normal of the base plate. Because the fingers of the hand to be irradiated are placed on the outside of the cylindrical or frustoconical support body, the surface normals of the fingernails to be irradiated are aligned approximately radially to the axis of the support body. There is therefore sufficient space to position even very long fingernails in such a way that they do not touch any part of the housing or other parts, since they are aligned parallel to the axis.
  • stops are provided in a preferred embodiment for the fingertips in order to position the individual fingers in the correct position on the contact body.
  • Such stops at the bottom i.e. arranged the bottom plate facing end of the support body so that the fingernails to be irradiated protrude freely over the end of the support body, which can be held for example by a telescopic rod.
  • the support body is accessible through a housing opening on the top of the housing, the hand to be irradiated can be placed on the support body in an extremely comfortable and relaxed position.
  • the individual fingernails of both the left and the right hand are at the same distance from the radiation lamp and thus a uniform curing of the plastics to be polymerized achieved.
  • the axis of the support body should either be aligned perpendicular to the base plate or at most form an angle of 90 ° to the surface normal standing on the base plate, the choice of the angle u. a. depends on the height of the table on which the device is placed.
  • the preferred angle, which the axis of the support body includes to the surface normal of the base plate, is 0 to 60 °, so that the hand can be placed vertically on the support body from above or at an angle from above.
  • the grooves of the support body are arranged symmetrically to a first plane running through the axis of the support body and in the direction of an arm of a hand to be placed on the support body, so that an equal radiation of the fingernails of a left and placed on the support body right hand is guaranteed.
  • only one channel is provided for the middle fingers of the left and right hand, which runs in the area of the first level, ie from the point of view of the person who places the hand on the support body at the sitting position of the corresponding person is arranged opposite side of the support body.
  • the grooves for the little fingers of the left or right hand are preferably positioned approximately along the second plane running through the axis of the support body and perpendicular to the first plane, ie they are offset from one another by an angle of 180 °.
  • the channels for the little fingers lie on an elevation of the support body in such a way that the fingernails of the little fingers lie outside the shadows of the ring fingers.
  • Such a measure may be necessary insofar as the fingernails of the little fingers, in contrast to the fingernails of the thumb, the index finger, the middle finger and the ring finger, are oriented slightly rotated and, depending on the diameter of the support body, are only irradiated sufficiently if the positioning - channels lie on a rise.
  • the support body, seen in cross-section deviates from a circular outer contour at the points at which the channels for the little fingers lie, and is curved outwards.
  • the channels should be distributed over a maximum of an angular range of 320 ° to 360 ° over the circumference of the support body, so that in the zone of the remaining angular range from 40 ° to 60 ° the base of the radiation lamp or the base of several radiation lamps, for example if an annular radiation lamp divided into two arc-shaped lamps, can be arranged.
  • the support body In order to enable simple and precise positioning of the hand on the support body, the support body should be arranged so that it can be moved in and out in the axial direction.
  • the support body is preferably held from its upper position, that is to say moved out of the housing, by springs, which are selected such that the weight of the rest on it placed hand the support body can be pushed into the housing. After the irradiation process has ended, the support body is moved out of the housing again with a slight lifting of the hand.
  • the edge of the housing opening can change into a support on which the forearm of the hand to be irradiated rests.
  • the housing opening can be partially covered by a hinged glare protection flap.
  • a limit switch which is actuated in a lower position of the support body inserted into the housing, can switch the device on and off.
  • the circle or the segment of the circle over which the radiation lamps are to extend can be approximated by three to four radiation lamps with a straight lamp axis.
  • the fingernail radiation device has a housing 1, in the center of which a telescopic arm 2 with a vertically aligned axis 3 is arranged.
  • a support body 4 is attached, on which a hand 5, indicated by the dash-dotted lines, is placed in such a way that it encompasses the support body 4 from above.
  • a support frame 6 is further fastened, on the underside of which two spiral springs 8 are arranged, which act on the base plate 7 of the housing 1 and whose axes 9 run parallel to the axis 3 of the telescopic arm 2. While the spring 8 on the left in FIG.
  • FIG. 1 is shown in a position in which the support body 4 is moved out of the housing 1 via an upper housing opening 10 via the telescopic arm 2, the right-hand spiral spring 8 is shown compressed in a position in FIG which the support body 4 is inserted into the housing 1.
  • An annular radiation lamp 12, which is surrounded by a reflector 13, is located below the upper housing cover 11.
  • the lamp axis 14 of the radiation lamp 12 runs horizontally or at right angles to the axis 3 of the telescopic arm 2.

  • the support body 4 which has an approximately cylindrical outer contour in FIGS. 1 to 3, has a plurality of grooves 18 which run axially and have a depth in the region of their groove bottom of approximately 2 to 5 mm.
  • a total of seven channels are distributed around the outer circumference of the support body 4, as shown in FIG. 2, the middle channel, which coincides with the first level 19, being used for the positioning of the middle finger 20 of both a left and a right hand 5.
  • This groove 18 for the middle finger 20 lies exactly opposite the sitting position of the person to be irradiated.
  • Two further grooves 18 are offset by approximately 45 ° to the groove 18 for the middle finger 20 and serve to hold the ring finger 21 and the index finger 22, for example a right hand as in FIG.
  • the groove 18 for the ring finger 21 when the fingernails of a left hand are irradiated, the groove 18 for the ring finger 21 then serves as the index finger, while the groove 18 is used for the index finger to receive the ring finger.
  • Two further grooves 18 are offset from the groove for the index fingers / ring fingers 21, 22 by 90 °, which serve to hold the little fingers 23 of a hand to be irradiated.
  • a channel 18 is permanently assigned to the little finger of a right hand and the little finger of a left hand.
  • the housing opening 10 is surrounded by a peripheral glare protection edge 25.
  • a limit switch 26 in order to put the radiation lamp 12 and further units, such as a fan 27 arranged laterally in the housing 1, into operation.
