Embodiment 1
<Embodiment 1: Overview>

  FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram showing a state of treatment using the gel pen of the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the user performs nail art treatment by applying a gel pen attached to a brush pen tip to a nail.

In the gel pen of the present embodiment, the cartridge housed in the main body is filled with UV curable gel, and the UV curable gel is provided at the tip of the main body via a metal pipe during the treatment. This is a structure that circulates in the center of the pen nib. In the color gel pen of the present embodiment, the user can apply the gel to the nail without immersing the brush nib in the gel in another container by distributing the gel in the cartridge to the brush nib. Is possible.
<Embodiment 1: Configuration>

  Please refer to FIG. FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram when the gel pen of the present embodiment is viewed from the side surface direction. The gel pen of the present embodiment includes a cartridge (0201), a main body (0202), a brush pen tip (0203), and a metal pipe (0204).

  The “cartridge” is a portion filled with a UV curable gel (0205). The material of the cartridge is not particularly limited, but is preferably a material that is not changed by the UV curable color gel because it is a portion that directly contacts the UV curable gel. Specifically, a plastic etc. are mentioned.

  The “UV curable gel” is a fluid resin used for applying to a nail, and is characterized by being cured by irradiation with UV. Examples of substances constituting the UV curable gel include monomers, oligomers, photopolymerization initiators, and other additives.

  Specific examples of the monomer used in the UV curable gel of the present embodiment include hydroxyethyl methacrylate. Examples of oligomers include urethane acrylate oligomers. Examples of the photopolymerization initiator include hydroxycyclohexyl phenyl ketone.

  The UV curable gel of this embodiment may contain a pigment as an additive, like a color gel. Moreover, in order to give a lamellar texture, a substance such as titanium oxide having a function of reflecting UV may be included as an additive.

  The “main body” is a portion that accommodates the cartridge. When the user holds the front end of the main body facing downward, the UV curable gel filled in the cartridge moves toward the front end of the main body, and reaches the brush pen nib described in detail later.

  The main body may have a portion used for promoting the circulation of the UV curable gel. Specifically, it is conceivable that a dial-type mechanism is provided on the side opposite to the front end of the main body so that the UV curable gel flows toward the front end of the main body when the user rotates the dial.

  Reference is now made to FIG. FIG. 3 is a conceptual diagram showing the distribution of UV curable gel in the gel pen of the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 3, the user can easily reach the pen nib, which will be described in detail later, by rotating the dial (0306) without turning the front end of the main body downward. Is possible.

  Reference is now further made to FIG. FIG. 4A is a conceptual diagram showing an example of a dial rotation mechanism in the gel pen of the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 4a, when the user rotates the dial, the screw (0407) rotates in conjunction with it and moves toward the writing pen tip. Therefore, the UV curable gel in the cylinder is pushed out toward the tip of the main body by the action of the piston. Then, the UV curable gel passes through the pipe on the metal and reaches the brush pen tip, so that the treatment can be performed.

  The “brush nib” is a portion arranged at the tip of the main body, and the user performs nail art by applying a UV curable gel attached to the brush nib to the nail. Specific examples of the material constituting the pen nib include acrylic fiber, polyester fiber, nylon fiber, and the like.

  The “metal pipe” is a portion through which the UV curable gel passes, and has a function of distributing the UV curable gel from the cartridge to the central part of the brush pen tip. Reference is again made to FIG. 4a. The “brush pen tip central portion” is a portion surrounded by a dotted circle in FIG.

  Reference is now further made to FIG. FIG. 4B is a conceptual diagram when the writing tip of the gel pen of the present embodiment shown in FIG. 4A is viewed from directly above. As shown in FIG. 4b, the discharge port of the UV curable gel of the metal pipe is surrounded by the material constituting the brush pen nib. By comprising in this way, it becomes possible to block the light irradiated to the UV curable gel discharged from the metal pipe, and to prevent the UV curable gel from being cured before the treatment.

  The discharge port of the UV curable gel is preferably configured to be located in the center of the brush pen tip. The pen nib needs to have sufficient flexibility at least for the part that comes into contact with the nail during the treatment. If the discharge port of the UV curable gel is positioned at the lower end of the brush nib, the UV curable gel adheres to the entire surface of the brush nib, and the UV curable gel cures the brush. The flexibility of the entire nib may be lost. In order to prevent such a situation, it is desirable that the UV curable gel discharge port be the central part of the brush pen tip, and the UV curable gel be attached only to the tip side from the central part of the brush pen tip. .

  Even when configured in this way, the UV curable gel attached to the tip side from the center of the brush-shaped nib may be cured and the flexibility of the nib may be lost. Because of frequent contact with the nail, the UV curable gel does not adhere for a long time, and there is no possibility that the flexibility is lost by the curing of the UV curable gel.

Reference is now made to FIG. FIG. 5 is a conceptual diagram showing only the gel pen cartridge, the brush pen tip, and the metal pipe of the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 5, the UV curable gel passes through the metal pipe and passes through the metal pipe into the hole provided in the center of the brush pen nib. You will reach the tip.
