Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To fasten a cap main body to a long nail reliably by the repulsion of an elastic material by shaping an elastic material such as rubber, styrene foam, or the like into an approximately circular cylinder in imitation of a finger tip to be a cap main body and boring a nail tip insertion hole in shape and size capable of allowing the insertion of a nail tip at the rear end of the cap main body. SOLUTION: Hard latex rubber rich in elasticity is shaped into a circular cylinder to be a cap main body 2, and a nail tip insertion hole 3 of bow-shaped cross section is bored at the rear end of the cap main body 2 to produce a long nail cap 1. By forming the nail tip insertion hole 3 narrower in width than a nail, it is possible to cover any nail tip of all the ten fingers of both hands with the cap main body 2 of one size. At the time of using the long nail cap 1, the nail tip of a nail N grown long is inserted into the nail tip insertion hole 3 and pressed deep until the finger tip is in contact with the rear end of the cap main body 2. It is preferable in a large-size cap for a thumb that the cap main body 2 is approximately 14 mm in diameter and that a nail tip insertion hole 3 is approximately 10 mm in width.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a long nail cap and a waterproofing device for a long nail using the long nail cap, in which the skin or the like is prevented from being damaged by a long elongated nail for fashion.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, nail arts, in which teens are extended and beautiful decorations are stretched by extending their nails, have become popular. In the past, Chinese noblemen and rich men in the Qing Dynasty used gold finger caps, such as Tongari hats, on their ten fingers to protect their long claws without cutting their nails.
It was a symbol of the non-working class. Modern youth are like the non-working class, but unlike the nobility of the past, they have no servants. Therefore, putting on and taking off clothes, washing face and hair,
You have to do your own wiping after the bowel movements. In such daily operations, it is not uncommon for a long stretched toe to hurt your skin. They also break shojis and fusumas and scratch leather sofas. I can't hit my computer keyboard.

Therefore, the present inventor made a prototype of a finger cap in the shape of a tongari hat by molding a thin synthetic resin plate into a conical shape and experimented. However, it is difficult to fit the size of the finger. Therefore, they tend to fall off easily during water work such as cooking or bathing. Also, when the synthetic resin conical finger cap is attached to the finger, the abdominal side of the elongated nail becomes hollow. As a result, a sense of incongruity that does not depend on the tactile sensation of the fingertip covered with the cap occurs, and the hand tends to be out of order.

[0004]

The problem to be solved is that, in order to cover the long nails of the ten fingers of both hands and prevent an injury accident due to the tip of the toes, the ten fingers need not be concerned with the size of the fingers.
The object of the present invention is to make it possible to cover the long nail of the finger and not to impair the feel of the fingertip under the coated long nail.

[0005]

The long claw cap of the present invention is formed by molding an elastic material such as rubber or styrene foam into a substantially cylindrical shape so as to resemble a fingertip to form a cap body. A toe insertion hole with a shape and size that can be inserted is provided. By forming the width of the toe insertion hole slightly smaller than the width of the claw, the cap body can be easily and reliably locked to the long claw by the repulsive force of the elastic material. Therefore, regardless of the size of the finger, any long nail can hide the dangerous toe in the cap body.

[0006]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The long claw cap of the present invention is not a finger cap fitted to a fingertip, but a cap body attached to a toe portion protruding from the fingertip. The lateral width of the toe insertion hole provided in the cap body is freely increased according to the size of the nail due to the elasticity of the elastic material. Therefore, a long claw of any shape and size can be inserted. As a result, anyone can use it regardless of the thickness of the finger, which has a large individual difference, and can cover the toe of the long nail to reliably prevent an injury accident. In addition, since the rear end of the cap body attached to the long claw is in contact with the fingertip, a touch such as an impact hitting the tip of the cap body is instantly transmitted to the fingertip. For this reason, the sense of incongruity seen in the conical finger cap is completely eliminated, and there is no need to worry about getting out of hand.

[0007]

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing one embodiment of a long claw cap 1 according to the present invention. A hard and elastic latex rubber is formed into a cylindrical shape to form a cap body 2, and a toe insertion hole 3 is formed at the rear end. The shape of the toe insertion hole 3 is
It is desirable to shape the cross section to be arcuate according to the shape of the cross section of the nail. However, the cross section may be rectangular or elliptical. Further, the toe insertion hole 3 may be penetrated from the rear end to the front end of the cap body 2. The material of the cap body 2 is preferably a rubber material such as latex rubber, but any elastic material such as styrene foam, urethane foam, sponge, cork, etc. may be used, and the material is not particularly limited. By forming the lateral width of the toe insertion hole 3 narrower than the width of the nail, the cap body 2 can be put on each toe of 10 fingers of both hands in a free size.

In order to further improve workability, three sizes, large, medium and small, may be made. That is, the large cap for the thumb has a diameter of 14 mm of the cap body 2 and a width of 10 mm of the toe insertion hole 3, and the medium-sized caps for the index finger, the middle finger and the ring finger have a diameter of 12 mm of the cap body 2 and a width of 8 mm of the toe insertion hole 3, The small cap for the little finger preferably has a diameter of the cap body 2 of 10 mm and a width of the toe insertion hole 3 of 6 mm. The length of the cap body 2 may be about 15 to 25 mm for each of the large, medium and small caps.

When using the long claw cap 1 of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1A, the toe of the long nail N is inserted into the toe insertion hole 3. Then, as shown in FIG. 1B, the toe is pushed deeply until the fingertip hits the rear end of the cap body 2.

FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the cap body 2 for explaining the locking action of the long claw cap 1 in the above embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2C, the cross section of the cap body 2 when the toe is not inserted is circular. When the nail N is pushed into the toe insertion hole 3, the toe insertion hole 3 expands laterally as shown in FIG. 2D. Along with this, the back side of the cap body 2 also extends laterally and slightly deforms. At this time, since the repulsive force acts in the directions of arrows K and K, the cap body 2 is securely locked to the claws N. Therefore, even if the arm is shaken strongly, the cap body 2 does not fall off. In addition, although the projection 5 is illustrated on the ventral side of the cap main body 2, the presence or absence of a projection for preventing slippage and lateral wrinkles, and the shape thereof can be arbitrarily selected.

FIG. 3 is a side sectional view of the cap body 2 for explaining the tactile effect of the long claw cap 1 in the above embodiment. The rear end of the cap body 2 may be flat,
As shown in the figure, it is desirable to form the recess 4 by shaving into a mortar shape. In this way, when the tip of the cap body 2 touches the object and receives the feel of the arrow X, the feel from the arrow Y can be instantly sensed on the front surface of the fingertip.
For this reason, the discomfort of wearing the long claw cap 1 disappears, and the user does not have to worry about getting out of hand. Not only will you be able to hit the keyboard of your computer easily, but you will also be able to perform very detailed manual operations. The sharp toes are hidden, so if you are conscious or scratch your face or body while sleeping unconsciously, you will not hurt your skin.

FIG. 4 is a side sectional view showing another embodiment of the long claw cap 1a of the present invention. By forming the mortar-shaped recess 4 deep, the whole long nail and the tip of the fingertip are hidden in the cap. Alternatively, the concave portion 4 may be formed further deeply so as to hide near the first joint of the finger. Further, a thin claw plate 6 made of synthetic resin or metal is attached to the back side of the cap body 2 with an adhesive. By doing so, the cap body 2 can be supported by the fingertips, and the nail plate 6 prevents the cap body 2 from bending, so that the danger of peeling off the raw nails during the operation is considerably avoided. However, the longer a nail is stretched, the greater the risk of peeling a raw nail, so enjoying nail art with long nails and preventing peeling are two trade-offs. In this embodiment, the toe insertion hole 3 is opened at the front end of the cap body 2. This makes it easy to dry the long nail cap applied to water after use in cooking, bathing, washing hair, and the like. In addition, the scalp can be massaged at the time of shampooing by shaping the shape of the protrusion 5 protruding from the ventral side of the cap body 2 into a wart shape.

FIG. 5 is a side sectional view showing an embodiment of a long nail waterproofing device 10 using a long nail cap according to the present invention. A long claw cap 1b having a hemispherical tip is mounted on a fingertip of an existing finger waterproofing device such as a rubber finger sack 7 or a medical rubber glove. The long nail cap 1b is desirably adhered to the fingertip of the finger cot 7 with an adhesive or the like. In this case, when the cap main body 2 is locked to the nail, it becomes difficult to remove the finger sack 7 from the finger. Therefore, the width of the toe insertion hole 3 is preferably larger than the width of the nail. In this case, it is desirable that the cap body 2 be manufactured using a lightweight elastic material such as styrene foam or cork, rather than rubber. In this case, since the sharp toe is covered by the cap body 2, there is no danger that the tip of the finger sack 7 or the rubber glove will be pierced by the toe. Therefore, intrusion of water can be reliably prevented. Further, since the rear end of the cap body 2 is in contact with the fingertip, fine manual work can be performed while fitting a finger cot or rubber glove. For this reason, even when applying a nail art that peels off when it can be applied to water, water work and bathing can be performed with confidence.

FIG. 6 is a side sectional view showing another embodiment of the long nail waterproofing device 10a of the present invention. A projection 5 is projected from the top and abdomen of the waterproof finger sack 7a or the waterproof glove, and a claw plate 6 is attached to the belly side of the cap body 2 of the long claw cap 1c mounted on the fingertip. The length of the nail plate 6 is set to be short of the first finger joint so as not to impair the flexibility of the fingertip. In this way, the long nails do not warp and do not hurt even if the fingertips are put up and the force is applied. For this reason, it is possible to shampoo the hair with the fingers of both hands standing up. In addition, the skin of the head can be massaged comfortably using the projections 5.

Further, instead of the rubber finger sack, a strong finger sack 7 can be formed of a hard synthetic resin or a thin metal plate, and a long claw cap can be loaded therein. This way, no matter how long your long nails, you never have to worry about peeling them off. In addition, by mounting the long claw cap on the fingertip portion of the winter glove, it is not necessary to put up with the need to hold hands without gloves in the cold midwinter.

[0016]

As described above, in the long claw cap of the present invention, the cap main body can be easily and reliably locked to the toe by forming the toe insertion hole to have a smaller width than the width of the toe. . Therefore, it can be attached to any finger of any shape, regardless of the size of the finger. As a result, the possibility of damaging the skin and the like is completely eliminated by covering the toe with the long nail cap.

Further, in the long claw cap of the present invention, since the rear end of the cap body and the fingertip are in contact with each other, the touch can be immediately sensed by the fingertip at the moment the object touches the tip of the cap body. it can. For this reason, there is no concern that the hand will be out of order because the long claw cap is attached, and even a very fine manual operation can be performed safely.

Further, by installing the long claw cap of the present invention on a fingertip portion such as a waterproof finger cot or waterproof glove, a new waterproof tool for long nails can be created. By using this, even if you are doing nail art that peels off when it can be applied to water, you can do water work, wash your hair, and take a bath with confidence.
