  However, the conventional nail brush can remove dirt and dirt only on either the front side or the back side of the nail. That is, the removal work of the nail stains and dirt is a separate work for the front side of the nail and the back side of the nail, and there is a problem that it takes time to clean the nail.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and by simultaneously removing the dirt and dirt adhering to the front and back sides of the nail, the maintenance work time of the nail can be shortened to half of the conventional time. A nail brush is provided.

  In order to solve the above problems, a nail brush according to the present invention includes a main body including a first body part and a second body part, and a connecting part that connects the first body part and the second body part so as to be bendable. And a plurality of hair bundles attached to opposing surfaces of the first body part and the second body part when the main body is bent. In the present invention, the plurality of hair bundles form a plurality of rows parallel to the connecting portion, and in a row closer to the connecting portion in more than half of the plurality of rows, the height of the hair bundle of each row Is characterized in that the side closest to the connecting portion is made the lowest and is raised as the distance from the connecting portion is increased. The present invention is characterized in that each of the first body portion and the second body portion has a grip portion for holding by hand.

  Since the nail brush of the present invention can simultaneously bring the hair bundle into contact with both the front side of the nail and the back side of the nail, it is possible to simultaneously remove dirt and dirt adhering to the front side of the nail and the back side of the nail. , Dirt and dirt removal work time can be shortened. In addition, since a plurality of rows of hair bundles are provided and steps are provided at the height of each row, the tips of the hair bundles can easily enter the gaps at the edges of the nails and the back side of the tips of the nails themselves, thereby improving the cleaning performance. . Since the grip portions are provided on both the first body portion and the second body portion provided with a large number of hair bundles, the strength of the force to be removed can be adjusted depending on the degree of adhesion such as dirt and dirt.

  Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view showing an embodiment of a nail brush according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a side view showing a usage state of the nail brush according to the present invention. The nail brush 10 includes a main body 16 including a first body portion 12 and a second body portion 14, a connecting portion 18 that connects the first body portion 12 and the second body portion 14, a first body portion 12 and a second body portion 12. It is comprised from many hair | bristle bundles 20 attached to the body part 14 by planting.

The first body part 12 and the second body part 14 are preferably made of a hard plastic made of synthetic resin or the like and formed into a plate shape. The connecting portion 18 that connects the first body portion 12 and the second body portion 14 has elasticity or flexibility, and is made of a refractive material such as rubber or cloth. The connecting portion 18 may be formed integrally with the first body portion 12 and the second body portion 14 as the same material, and may have elasticity or flexibility by reducing the thickness. By refracting the connecting portion 18, the main body 16 is bent (a state in which one surface of the first body portion 12 and one surface of the second body portion 14 are close to each other).

  A number of hair bundles 20 are attached to one surface of the first body portion 12 and one surface of the second body portion 14 that are close to each other by refracting the connecting portion 18 by implantation or the like. The bristles 20 are preferably a bundle of a plurality of synthetic resin bristles made of synthetic fibers such as polyester, nylon or acrylic that have been subjected to antibacterial processing so that they do not rust or mold. These synthetic resin hairs are bundled and inserted into the holes of the first body part 12 and the second body part 14 and fixed with, for example, an adhesive.

  In the first body part 12 and the second body part 14, the multiple hair bundles 20 are arranged in a plurality of rows (for example, 6 rows) parallel to the connecting portion 18. The length of the hair bundle 20 varies from one row to another. The length of the row A on the inner side (the side closer to the connecting portion 18) of the main body 16 is the shortest, and the outer side (the side farther from the connecting portion 18) is approached. The length of the hair bundle 20 in the outermost row F is made the longest. For example, in this embodiment, the length of the hair bundle 20 in the row A is 3 mm, the row B is 5 mm, the row C is 7 mm, the row D is 9 mm, the row E is 11 mm, and the row F is 13 mm. As a result, the hair bundle 20 forms a step (inclination) from the row A to the row F.

  Note that, in a plurality of rows (for example, 6 rows) from the inner side to the middle, the height of the hair bundle 20 is set to a different level, but for example, the outer two rows may have the same height. The reason why the heights of the inner several rows of hair bundles 20 are stepped at different heights is to ensure that the hair bundle 20 is in contact with dirt and dirt at any position on the back surface of the front end of the claw 28. In the present embodiment, the rows of hair bundles 20 planted in the first body portion 12, the heights of the hair bundles 20, the rows of hair bundles 20 planted in the second body portion 14, and the hair bundles 20 thereof. Is symmetric with respect to the connecting portion 18 (see FIG. 3). This is to obtain the same effect regardless of which of the first body part 12 and the second body part 14 is applied to the front side or the back side of the claw 28.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, each row of hairs 20 may have a taper shape in which the height of the inner position is low and the height of the outer side is high. The height may be the same. Moreover, the shape from which the front-end | tip shape of each hair | bristle bundle 20 differs with a row | line | column may be sufficient, and the hardness of the hair | bristle bundle 20 may be changed for every row | line | column inside and outside. In addition, from a viewpoint of durability and a feeling of use, natural hair such as animal or vegetable may be used instead of the synthetic resin hair as the material of the hair bundle 20.

  The first body part 12 and the second body part 14 are provided with a gripping part 22 for gripping the first body part 12 and the second body part 14 with hands and fingers. The grip portion 22 may have any shape as long as it is easy to grip and is convenient for bending the main body 16 around the connecting portion 18. For example, a curved handle type as shown in the figure may be used, or an annular type in which one or a plurality of fingers can be fitted may be used.

Next, how to use the nail brush 10 will be described.
When the nail brush 10 of this embodiment is used, the front side and the back side of the claw 28 are sandwiched between the opposing hair bundles 20 implanted in the first body part 12 and the second body part 14. At this time, the hair bundle 20 on one side (here, the hair bundle 20 implanted in the first body portion 12) hits the surface of the claw 28 itself and enters the gap 30 at the hairline of the claw 28, and the other hair bundle 20 (here, The hair bundle 20) planted in the second body portion 14 enters the gap 30 at the hairline of the nail 28 and hits the back side of the tip of the nail 28 itself. A part of the hair bundle 20 of the second body portion 14 hits the belly of the finger 26. Here, when the nail 28 is rubbed to the right and left while being pressed against the hair bundle 20 (brush surface), the tip of each hair bundle 20 removes the dirt and dirt attached to the gap 30 at the hairline of the nail 28 and the nail 28. The dirt and dirt adhering to the back side of the tip of the finger 26 can be removed at the same time, and when the hair bundle 20 hits the belly of the finger 26, the dirt and dirt on the belly of the finger 26 can also be removed. Further, the nail brush 10 may be used not only for the nails 28 of the finger 26 but also for the toenails of the toes.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, the front side and the back side of the claw 28 can be cleaned at the same time, so that the cleaning work time of the claw 28 can be shortened. The length of the plurality of rows of hair bundles 20 is increased from a short length to a high length from the inside to the outside, so that even if the tip of the nail 28 is long, dirt and dirt attached to the back side of the tip of the nail 28 are surely obtained. This is so that it can be removed. That is, in the row closer to the connecting portion in at least half of the entire row, the height of the hair bundle in each row may be the lowest on the side closer to the connecting portion and increase as the distance from the connecting portion increases. The outer 2-3 rows may be the same height. When used when washing hands with water or soap, dirt and dirt can be removed more effectively, and bacteria and fingertip odors can be suitably removed. In the present invention, the finger 26 can be simultaneously cleaned.

It is a top view of the nail brush concerning the present invention. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of FIG. 1. It is a side view which shows the use condition of the nail brush which concerns on this invention.
