ES2265250A1 - Mold for shaping or repairing artificial nails, has protective barrier provided at cuticle zone to prevent coming-off of artificial nail at time of shaping - Google Patents

Abstract

A mold, formed of polypropylene, has a protective barrier provided at a cuticle zone to prevent the artificial nail from coming-off, while the artificial nail is modeled from a natural nail and molded from synthetic or acrylic resin with ultraviolet (UV) gel.

Description

Mold and method for perfect modeling and nail repair.

Technical sector

The invention falls within the sector of personal beauty and more specifically in the care and treatment of the nails of the hands and feet in relation to their modeling and Repair by performing artificial nails.

State of the art

As innovation in personal beauty in the field of manicure and pedicure emerge new aspects in the care and beauty of the hands and feet, it is well known by all that nails are one of the main parts of the body that are Decorated

In this field there is a boom in the systems of reconstruction using artificial nails, either for hands or feet, from the use of plastic prostheses (tips) that they stick directly on the natural nails, as in those they mold on natural nails with synthetic resins giving them shape or sculpting them on them using brushes or others Utensils.

Currently professionals in the sector rebuild the nails by applying these resins Synthetic (acrylic, U.V. gel,, ...) directly on the nails, shaping them with a brush and lengthening them by Current techniques

These techniques have many drawbacks and until health contraindications, among them we highlight the need to polish the surface of the artificial nail by files and lathes until the curve and the perfect finish are achieved, with all the risks that this implies heating, burns and chafing, and what is very important the application time of current techniques that is very large approximately two hours in the achievement of good nails by an average professional, this in the professional theme and regarding the health issue, the composition of the resins contain, when hardening, tiny crystals that at  be polished by files or lathes can be aspirated and with the passage of time greatly affect the lungs. Other occupational diseases such as broken wrist and problems cervicals have been common in professionals with twenty years from experience.

It would therefore be desirable to create a much faster, where there was no need to polish the surface of the new artificial nail and reduce it only to edge filing Free to give the desired shape.

Technical advantage provided by the invention

The mold perfectly recreates the surface ideal of a natural nail and being a mold the result is perfect and correct the imperfections of the client's natural nail. Ideal For all types of nails, weak, bites, etc ... and is compatible for acrylic nail systems and for U.V. Gel

When performed in a minimum time (approx. 10 seconds in the placement of each mold), the aggression against the nail natural is reduced by up to 80%, since in a single pass it complete the entire nail to rebuild, unlike the Sculpted method that constantly maintains the moisture of the mixture Acrylic or U.V. Gel until the artificial nail is made (approx. 4 or 5 minutes) without counting the minute of subsequent drying. Microscopically it has been shown that microbubbles may exist of air between layers, due to the change in density, which can Get to keep that moisture.

With our invention this is impossible since the mold is pressed lightly against the natural nail, so that the creation of microbubbles is impossible since the mixture is Totally homogeneous and does not change density.

The application time and the amount of product to use decrease markedly. All the time which goes from approximately 2 hours in current techniques to twenty minutes for both hands with the molds. Raw material to make artificial nails (synthetic resins) are reduced in 3/4 parts since only the necessary one is used and it is not polished.

It is not necessary to polish the surface of the nail artificial. Abrasions are avoided, since neither files nor files are used lathe to model the surface of the nail. By avoiding filing we also avoid subsequent occupational diseases such as Broken wrist and cervical problems.

Risks of polishing dust are eliminated.

The mold is disposable and hypoallergenic.

The result is perfect and natural at the same time.

The application of this technique achieves some spectacular results without the need to glaze. So, one Once the treatment is finished, it is very difficult to distinguish between a natural and an artificial nail, except for the length.

Nail care is the same as the one It must be followed on natural nails.

As for the duration, it is much greater than in the traditional sculpted nail, since in our system we press the mold against the nail, so it is more consistent. Though everything will depend on the care that the client gives her nails, but they can usually last between 2 or 3 months in perfect conditions, taking into account the subsequent repair by natural growth, it is important to note that maintenance It will depend on the growth of the nail.

Design and construction of the molds

Starting from a natural nail (11) we proceed to develop a virtual 3D model (12) until the ideal nail in curvature and proportions, being a mold we must have note that the inner part of this, and not the outer part, is the which will give us the final shape of the artificial nail to be made, with what that a cuticle protection barrier (13) is designed (14) so that the synthetic resin never touches that cuticle, with the consequent problem that in the future the artificial nail may detach due to the growth of the cuticle (14).

From the virtual 3D model (12) we manufacture an aluminum or steel mold (15). We close the aluminum mold or steel (16) and the polypropylene or the like is injected through the hole (17). Once the polypropylene is dried or similar we proceed to the opening of the aluminum or steel mold (18) with which we obtain the mold (19) object of the invention.

From the 3D virtual model (12) we obtain a series of sizes in proportion to the first to create a Standard applicable to any nail of the hand or foot.

Method for modeling or repairing the nail

Starting from the natural nail (3), proceed in First place to prepare the nail using a light polishing (4) or other specific products, to eliminate nail fat and facilitate the adhesion of the synthetic resin. From the box (5) of different sizes we select the mold (6) corresponding to the nail to be treated and we extend (7) synthetic resin throughout its inner surface until the desired thickness is achieved. We place (8) the mold on the natural nail and wait until the resin Synthetic solidify. Once solidified we proceed to remove (9) the natural nail mold obtaining an artificial nail perfect Then with a file (10) we adjust the length of the free edge and we get a fully finished nail and perfect

The new features of this invention that have been shown and described and are indicated with the details above, it understand that experts in this art can make this invention omitting, modifying, replacing some forms and details illustrated in our exhibition, but which in no way abandon the spirit of the present invention.

Without a thorough analysis, the above will reveal totally the essential idea of the present invention that the others they can, applying current knowledge, adapt it easily for various uses, from the point of view of prior art, using the essential characteristics of the generic aspects or specific to this invention.

Claims (3)

1. Mold for modeling Perfect and nail repair consisting of a piece of polypropylene, which it owns, due to the characteristic of its nature, the property that the resins that can not adhere are used for modeling and repairing nails and is designed with a protective barrier (13) whose function is that the synthetic resin has no contact with the cuticle area of The natural nail. 2.
