Definitions

  • the present invention relates to artificial nails and/or artificial tips for nails. More particularly, the present invention relates to arrangements, systems and methods for providing artificial nail or tip arrangements having multiple sections.
  • Artificial nails are generally used to enhance the cosmetic appearance of fingers and/ or toes, and may also be used to replace missing or damaged natural nails or possibly enhance the appearance of the existing nails.
  • artificial nails or tips can be used to obtain a desired nail length and/or shape when the natural nail is too weak to grow without breaking.
  • the use of artificial nails or tips may also be preferred in certain situations since the nail polish may better adhere to the artificial nail surface compared to the surface of a natural nail.
  • An artificial nail or tip arrangement comprising:
  • first section having a first top surface and a first bottom surface
  • second section being adjacent to the first section and having a second top surface, and a second bottom surface
  • the first and second sections form a combined arrangement which has a proximal end and a distal end, the distal end being configured to be provided at a front portion of the natural nail and the proximal end being configured to be provided opposite to the distal end, wherein the distal end is provided further away from a cuticle portion of the natural nail than the proximal end; and wherein at least one first portion of the first bottom surface overlays the second top surface such that at least one second portion of the second top surface overlaid by the first bottom surface forms an acute angle with respect to the first top surface at a contact point with the second top surface
  • the artificial nail or tip arrangement further comprising a third section having a third top surface and a third bottom surface,wherein the third section is configured to be provided closer to the cuticle portion of the natural finger nail than the first section, and adjacent to the second
  • a method for providing an artificial nail or tip arrangement comprising:

  • the bottom surface 80 of the first section 20 contacts the top surface 70 of the second section 30 across substantially its entire length.
  • a portion of the first section 20 may extend distally beyond the second section 30 such that a portion of the bottom surface 80 of the first section 20 does not contact the top surface 70 of the second section 30.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates a top view of a nail/tip arrangement 10 not to certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention.
  • the top surface 60 of the first section 20 and the top surface 70 of the second section 30 form a substantially smooth top surface of the nail/tip arrangement 10.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates an exemplary embodiment where the top portion 60 of the first section 20 extends laterally from distal end 40 a particular distance toward the proximal end 50, it should be appreciated that the top portion 60 of the first section 20 may extend from the distal end 40 laterally toward the proximal end 50 for any alternative distance.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates another exemplary embodiment of a nail/tip arrangement 100 not according to the present invention.
  • the exemplary nail/tip arrangement 100 may comprise a first section 110 having a top surface 120 and a bottom surface 125, as well as a second section 130 having a top surface 135 and a bottom surface 140.
  • at least a portion of the bottom surface 125 of the first section 110 can overlay at least a portion of the top surface 135 the second section 130 to form an interface 145.
  • the interface 145 between adjacent sections may comprise a plurality of segments. For example, with reference to similar elements in FIG.
  • the interface 145 may comprise a first segment comprising a substantially continuous curve and a second segment disposed distally with respect to the first segment which can extend substantially parallel to the top surface 120 of the first section 110. Accordingly, the portion of the top surface 135 of the second portion 130 which corresponds to the second segment of the interface 145 may also extend substantially parallel to the top surface 120 of the first section 110. Nevertheless, as with previously-described exemplary embodiments, a portion of the top surface 135 of the second section 130, which is configured to be provided at a particular distance from the cuticle, may form an acute angle with respect to a top surface 120 of the first portion 110.
  • the nail/tip arrangements 10, 100 may be generally of a uniform thickness, for example, about 0.8 mm to 1.0 mm, and may decrease in thickness (e.g., taper) toward the proximal end 50 to facilitate the attachment and blending with a natural nail 15.
  • the nail/tip arrangements 10, 100 may have any thickness, and can taper depending on any preferred aesthetics and/or other factors.
  • one or more sections which comprise the nail/tip arrangements 10, 100 may be provided in a particular color or a plurality of colors.
  • the first section 20 may be provided in a different color from one or more remaining sections of the nail/tip arrangement 10.
  • the first section 20 may comprise a white color (nail polish), off-white or near-white color
  • the second section 30 may comprise a contrasting or different color (nail polish) thereby providing the appearance of a "French tip" or "French manicure.”
  • the second section 30 may comprise a translucent polymeric material which can simulate the color of a natural fingernail.
  • either or both of the first section 20 and/or the second section 30 may be provided in any color.
  • the first section 20 may have a color which is substantially uniform through a thickness of the section.
  • the first section 20 may be formed from a substantially homogenous material such that an appearance of the first section 20 is substantially the same extending from the top surface 60 to the bottom surface 80. In this manner, the appearance of a colored first section 20 of the nail/tip arrangement 10 would not be diminished by scratching, chipping, rubbing and/or peeling as is the case with artificial nails, where the color can be applied as a thin layer disposed over the distal tip section 40.
  • the first section 20 formed with a substantially uniform color through its thickness may reduce or eliminate the steps of coating the artificial nail section with a thin layer of nail polish or other colored solution, as well as the additional step of sealing the thin colored layer of the artificial nail/tip arrangement 10 with a sealing agent.
  • the application of the exemplary nail/tip arrangement 10 to the natural nail 15 can be as follows. After the selection of an appropriately sized nail/tip arrangement 10, the user may apply a selected conventional adhesive, such as an ethylcyanoacrylate-based glue, to the natural nail 15. The second section 30 of the nail/tip arrangement 10 may then be placed on the natural nail 15 so as to cover substantially all or a portion of the surface of the natural nail 15. Pressure may be applied to the nail/tip arrangement 10 by pressing down on the second section 30. Such pressure may cause the second section 30 to compress and conform to the contour of the surface of the wearer's natural nail 15, thereby likely providing a better fit.
  • a selected conventional adhesive such as an ethylcyanoacrylate-based glue
  • the user may apply a selected conventional adhesive to the top surface 70 of the second section 30.
  • the first section 20 may then be placed at least partially on or overlap the top surface 70 to form the exemplary combined nail/tip arrangement 10.
  • the nail/tip arrangement 10 may be trimmed and shaped using a nail file.
  • the nail/tip arrangement may be applied to a natural nail 15 using any known methods.
  • the nail/tip arrangement 10 may be provided to the user as a unitary piece. That is, in such exemplary embodiment, the nail/tip arrangement 10 can be provided to the user with the first section 20 bonded to the second section 30. Accordingly, in this exemplary embodiment, the application of the nail/tip arrangement 10 can involve merely adhering the combined nail/tip arrangement 10 to the surface of the wearer's natural nail 15.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates an embodiment cf the nail/tip arrangement 200 according to the present invention.
  • the exemplary nail/tip arrangement 200 comprises a first section 20 having a top surface 60 and a bottom surface 80, as well as a second section 30 having a top surface 70 and a bottom surface 90.
  • at least a portion of the bottom surface 80 of the first section 20 can overlay at least a portion cf the top surface 70 the second section 30 to form an interface 95.
  • a third section 205 includes a bottom surface 210 which is provided on a portion 85 of the top surface 70 of the second section 30 which is provided at or near the cuticle of the finger nail or on a portion of the top surface 70 of the second section 30 which is away from, positioned opposite to or at a distance from the first portion 20.
  • the interaction between the bottom surface 210 of the third section 205 and the portion 85 of the top surface 70 of the second section 30 can form another interface 220.
  • At least the portion 85 of the top surface 70 of the second section 30 can have a curved shape that curves away from a top surface 215 of the third section 205.
  • at least the portion 85 of the top surface 70 of the second section 30 can have a section which can have a straight shape that extends in at least partially a straight manner away from the top surface 215 of the third section 205.
  • at least a portion of the bottom surface 210 of the third section 205 may have a shape that can substantially correspond in shape to the portion 85 of the top surface 70 of the second section 30.
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 illustrate yet another exemplary embodiment of a nail/tip arrangement 300 not to the present invention.
  • the exemplary nail/tip arrangement 300 may comprise a first section 20 having a top surface 60 and a bottom surface 80, as well as a second section 30 having a top surface 70 and a bottom surface 90.
  • at least a portion of the bottom surface 80 of the first section 20 can overlay at least a portion of the top surface 70 the second section 30 to form an interface 95.
  • abutting sections of the top surface 60 of the first section 20 and the top surface 70 of the second section 30 may form a top interface 305. While top interface 305 is depicted in FIGS.
  • the top interface 305 may have any configuration such as, for example, straight, angled, or the like.
