Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a manicure curing device, in particular a new type of photogravity curing device that cures by receiving photoactivated energy, has excellent wear resistance, and improves aesthetic appearance. The present invention relates to a photopolymerization type manicure device required for applying a manicure material to fingernails made of resin material.

[Conventional technology]

Nail polish, which has traditionally been widely used for cosmetic purposes for polishing and coloring, is made from materials that harden upon drying, and many are sold commercially in small bottles dissolved in organic solvents.

[Problems with conventional technology]

This type of nail polish material uses organic solvents, so it is highly flammable and requires careful handling.Also, it takes quite a while to completely dry, and the paint film after drying has poor adhesion to the nails. It was also susceptible to scratches and had problems with abrasion resistance and gloss retention.

[Means for solving problems]

The photopolymerization type manicure device of the present invention is characterized in that an active energy ray generating lamp is installed inside a box body with a door that can be opened and closed on at least one wall, and the active energy ray generating lamp is installed inside the box body. The door operating mechanism can be configured to turn on when the door operating mechanism that closes the door in conjunction with the insertion of a finger ends, and turn off after a preset time has elapsed using a timer circuit. A pin installed on the sliding body that allows it to slide back and forth along a guide groove provided in the box, a spring that always biases the door in the direction of opening, and a pin that resists the elastic force of the spring when a finger enters the box. It may consist of a wire connecting a pin and the door so as to close the door, or it may be constructed using a switch inside the box that controls a motor that opens and closes the door by operating it with a finger. It is possible. With the above-described structure, the present invention enables nail polish to be applied to the nails using a photopolymerizable resin material that cures in a shorter time than conventional ones and has excellent wear resistance and shine retention. An object of the present invention is to provide a photopolymerization type manicure device that can be cured safely and quickly.

[Effect]

Ultraviolet lamps, far-infrared lamps, infrared lamps, visible light lamps, etc. are preferably used as active energy ray generating lamps, but these types of lamps do not contain photopolymerizable unsaturated compounds such as photopolymerizable methacrylates and photopolymerizable acrylates. A photopolymerizable resin manicure material containing the material is irradiated with active energy to induce a photopolymerization reaction and harden.

The box body is equipped with the above-mentioned active energy ray generating lamp inside, and can be closed and closed to prevent the active energy rays from spreading to unnecessary locations, and the lamp can be turned on after the door is closed. Furthermore, fingers or toes whose nails have been coated with a photopolymerizable resin manicure material can be taken in and out through a door provided on at least one wall that can be opened and closed, allowing safe and convenient use. In addition, the door can be closed even if both hands are placed inside the box at the same time, and the user can easily and easily put both hands in and out of the box at the same time without touching the nail polish coated surface with other objects. It is also possible to enable the door to be opened and closed.
