Each overlay has a recess formed in the upper surface of the overlay to receive one or more selected decorative elements. A cover is formed and dimensioned to adhere to the top surface of the overlay over the recess and to form a hermetic pocket for receiving the decorative element. Thus, the user can make decorative fingernails accessories as desired.
[0013]
For a better understanding of the present invention, the scope of the present invention is set forth in the accompanying claims with reference to the following description and accompanying drawings.
[0014]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a decorative accessory 10 constructed in accordance with the present invention is shown. The decorative accessory 10 generally includes a top 10 formed with a recess 22, a cover 26 secured over the recess to form a sealed pocket, and one or more contained in the pocket. A decorative insert 24.
[0015]
The overlay 10 is made using conventional injection molding techniques and may be made of well-known artificial fingernail materials. Preferably, the overlay 10 is made of a mixture of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) plastic and polycarbonate. The upholstery 12 includes an upper surface 14, a lower surface 16, a first end 18, and a second end 20 that is distal to the first end 18. The shape and size of the first end 18 are approximately the shape and size of at least the end of the user's fingernails or toenails. For example, in the case of a fingernail chip, the size and shape of the first end 18 is substantially the shape and size of only the end of the user's fingernail. In the case of a cover for the entire fingernail, the shape and size of the first end 18 are approximately the shape and size of the entire raw fingernail.
[0016]
The upper cover 12 has a recess 22 formed in the upper surface 14 of the upper cover. The recess 22 may be formed during the formation of the overlay 12, or may be provided later using conventional machining or cutting techniques. In a preferred embodiment, the recess 22 is adjacent to the second end 20 of the overlay 12. The recess 22 may extend from the upper surface 14 to a desired depth of the top 12, as shown in FIG. 2 a, or may extend through the top 12 from the top 14 to the bottom 16.
[0017]
At least one decorative element 24 is placed in the recess 22. The decorative element 24 may be an aesthetically valuable material that is dimensioned to fit within the recess 22. Preferred materials include metal powders, gloss materials, colored paper pieces, natural gems, artificial gems.
[0018]
A cover 26 is secured on the recess 22 to the upper surface 14 of the upholstery 12 to form a sealed pocket for receiving the decorative element 24. When the recess 22 extends to the upper lower surface 16, a second cover 36 that is fixed to the upper lower surface 16 is required. In any case, the decorative element 24 is preferably freely movable within the pocket formed by the recess and the cover 26 or by the covers 26, 36. Preferably, at least the top cover 26 is made of a thin transparent material so that the decorative element 24 can be easily seen through the cover 26 from the top surface 14 of the overlay 12. Preferably, the covers 26, 36 also comprise a pressure sensitive adhesive along the perimeter of the cover to facilitate securing the cover to the overlay. As a modification, an adhesive may be applied to the cover and / or the upper cover during assembly. Thus, the covers 26, 36 may be permanently affixed to the overlay 12, or the covers 26, 36 may be removed so that the user can later remove the cover 26 and place a different decorative element 24 in the recess 22. It may be temporarily attached to the upper cover 12.
[0019]
A modified embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIGS. In an alternative embodiment, the decorative accessory 50 is made of a top 52 having an upper surface 54, a lower surface 56, a first end 58, and a second end 60 as described above. However, unlike the concave portion, a raised decorative portion 62 is formed on the upper surface 54 of the upper covering 52. The raised decorative portion 62 is formed during the molding of the overlay 52 and may be of any decorative shape or size. Preferably, the raised decorative portion 62 has a patterned surface, unlike the smooth upper surface of the upholstery, for added aesthetic value. This is accomplished by providing a corresponding pattern on the cavity surface of the mold used to form the overlay.
[0020]
As shown in FIG. 5, the decorative accessory of the present invention may be provided as part of a kit 100 that allows the user to design and assemble the desired arrangement of decorative accessories. The kit 100 generally includes a set of overlays 106, covers 108, and decorative elements 110 that are received in a storage box 102. The storage box 102 is made up of a number of three-side compartments 104 and a lid 112 that is secured in a closed position to accommodate all kit components.
[0021]
Kit 100 includes an assortment of differently sized overlays 106 that are sized and configured to be attached to a user's raw toenails or raw toenails. Each upper covering 106 also has a recess formed in the upper surface thereof as described above. The kit 100 includes a set of differently sized covers 108 that are used to cover the correspondingly sized recesses in the overlay 106. The kit 100 further includes a set of decorative elements 110 that are placed in a recess in the overlay 106 and then covered by the cover 108 by the user. It is envisioned that the kit may include any type of decorative element 110, such as metal powder, gloss, colored paper pieces, natural gems and artificial gems.
[0022]
At the time of use, the user first selects the upper nail 106 having a size close to that of the fingernail or toe nail to which the upper nail is to be applied. The user then selects one or more desired decorative elements 110, or a combination of decorative elements 110, and places the decorative element 110 in the overlying recess. After placing the decorative element 110 in the recess, a correspondingly sized cover 108 is selected and secured to the upper surface of the overcoat 106 over the recess, thereby accommodating the decorative element in the recess. Again, preferably, the cover comprises a pressure sensitive adhesive that facilitates attachment to the cover overlay. Alternatively, the kit 100 may have a small container of adhesive to be applied when the user assembles the accessory. Once the accessories are assembled, the upholstery 106 is attached to the raw nail using known techniques. As a result, the user can create a significant number of desired decorative arrangements for the raw nail and can remove and replace the arrangements as desired.
[0023]
Having described what is presently considered to be preferred embodiments of the invention, those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications may be made to the invention without departing from the spirit of the invention. Nevertheless, the present invention claims all changes and modifications that fall within the scope of the invention.
