Description

Ingrown nail correction band {Corrective band for ingrown nail}

The present invention relates to an ingrown nail orthodontic band, and more particularly, to an ingrown nail orthodontic band used to correct ingrown nails and toenails that penetrate into tissue of a human body as the edges of a nail or toenail grow.

In general, ingrown hands and toenails are a phenomenon in which the edges of nails or toenails grow into the tissues of the human body. These ingrown hands and toenails are accompanied by inflammation and pain in the fingers or toes as the edge grows into the flesh.

Therefore, devices for correcting such ingrown hands and toenails have been developed. A typical introverted hand, toenail correcting device utilizes an elastic plate that is secured to the nail or toenail with adhesive. The elastic force acts in the unfolding state in which the elastic plate is attached to the nail or toenail having a round shape, and the force acts in the unfolding direction of the fingernail or toenail. Thus, ingrown nails and toenails can be corrected.

However, it is not easy to glue the flat elastic plate to the round nails or toenails.

That is, in order to adhere the flat elastic plate to the round nails or toenails, the adhesive is applied to the nails or toenails or the elastic plate, and then the elastic plate is attached to the nails or toenails and the operator nails the elastic plate until the adhesive is cured. Or you need to hold it with your claws.

As described above, it is very inconvenient to attach the elastic plate to nails or toenails having a round shape.

In addition, even when the elastic plate is adhered to the nail or toenail, there is a problem in that the elastic plate easily falls off due to the elastic force, and thus the effect of the correction cannot be sufficiently obtained.

Therefore, the present invention has been proposed to solve the above problems, an object of the present invention is to easily adhere to the nail or toenail correction member can be used simply and conveniently by the user to correct ingrown nails and toenails To provide an ingrown nail correction band to maximize the effect.

In order to achieve the object as described above, the present invention, the base, at least one heat shrink member is disposed in a predetermined direction inside the base and contracted by heat, the same as the direction in which the heat shrink member is disposed in the base It provides an ingrown nail correction band comprising at least one non-shrinkable member disposed in the lower layer of the heat shrinkable member in the direction.

The base is preferably made of resin.

Preferably, the base is further provided with non-shrinkable members arranged in a different direction than the heat shrinkable members.

The heat shrink member is preferably made of polyolefin fibers.

It is preferable that the said non-shrinkable member consists of glass fiber.

The heat shrinkable member and the non-shrinkable member are preferably stacked and stacked in several layers.

The base is preferably provided with an adhesive layer on one side.

The adhesive layer is preferably provided with a protective member for protecting the adhesive layer on one surface.

The present invention can be easily attached to the nails and toenails, and when heat is applied in a well-adhesive state, the heat contraction member contracts while the side sides of the nails and toe nails are stretched or extended in the opposite direction to the bent direction in the bonded state. While working, there is an effect of correcting ingrown nails and toenails.

In addition, the ingrown nail correction band of the present invention is convenient to carry and store and there is a convenience that can be easily used by the elderly.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a view for explaining an embodiment of the present invention, it shows a state in which the ingrown nail correction band (1) attached to the nail (3) or toenail.

The ingrown nail straightening band 1 includes a base 5, a heat shrinking member 7 provided on the base 5, and a non-constricting member 9 disposed below the heat shrinking member 7.

Another non-shrinkable member 11 may be stacked on the base 5 in a direction different from the direction in which the heat shrinkable member 7 is disposed.

The base 5 has a shape, and is preferably relatively thin and has a certain length and is formed in a band shape. The base 5 is preferably a resin such as epoxy. However, the base 5 is not limited to the embodiment of the present invention and may be made of a conventional synthetic resin material.

The heat shrinkable member 7 is preferably made of a heat shrinkable fiber that shrinks when heat is applied. Such heat-shrink fibers are preferably made of polyolefin fibers as synthetic organic fibers.

It is preferable that a plurality of such heat shrinkable members 7 are arranged at regular intervals in the longitudinal direction on the base 5. The heat shrinkable member 7 is preferably arranged in a direction connecting both sides of the nail 3 or toenail.

The non-shrinkable members 9 and 11 may be made of glass fiber or the like, and a material that does not easily shrink is suitable.

In particular, the structure in which the non-shrinkable member 9 is disposed on the lower layer of the heat shrinkable member 7 in the same direction as the heat shrinkable member 7 is opposite to the non-shrinkable member 9 when the heat shrinkable member 7 is contracted by heat. The base 5 can be bent.

On the other hand, in the embodiment of the present invention, the heat shrinkable member 7 and the non-shrinkable member 9 may be stacked in various layers, unlike the layers shown in the drawings. In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of heat contraction members 7 and a plurality of non-shrink members 9 and 11 are illustrated and illustrated, but one heat shrink member 7 and one non-shrink member 9 are described. 11 may also be used. In this case, the heat shrinkable member 7 and the non-constricted members 9 and 11 may be formed in a strip shape instead of a cylindrical shape. As such, embodiments of the present invention may be configured in various ways according to design.

And it is preferable that the adhesive layer 13 is provided below the base 5. In addition, the protective member 15 is preferably provided on one side of the adhesive layer 13. This structure allows anyone to easily remove the protective member 15 and easily attach the adhesive layer 13 to the nail or toenail. That is, it is very easy to use and easy to carry.

The operation of the embodiment of the present invention thus made will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 4.

First, the user removes the protective member 15 of the band 1. When the adhesive layer 13 comes out, this part is attached to the ingrown nail or toenail. At this time, it is preferable that the heat shrinkable member 7 is arranged in a direction facing the side direction of the nail or toenail.

When the user installs a separate display unit 17 (shown in FIG. 1) on the upper part of the base 5 so that the user always makes the direction of bonding to the nail or the toenail, it may be used more conveniently.

The user can easily adhere to the nail 3 because the base 5, the heat shrink member 7 and the non-shrink members 9 and 11 are made of a flexible material.

After the band 1 is attached to the nail 3, heat is applied to a degree suitable for the condition of the heat shrinkable member 7. At this time, the device for applying heat is configured separately. For example, heat can be applied to the periphery of the band 1 bonded to the nail 3 or toenail through a heating device.

Then, the heat shrink member 7 is deformed by heat to the heat shrink member 7 (solid arrow direction). At this time, a force to move to the nail 3 or toenail in the opposite direction (indicated by the dotted arrow in the opposite direction to the nail) of the layer on which the non-contracting member 9 is located acts.

That is, the base 5 is bent by the heat shrink member 7 so that both side sides of the nail 3 are stretched or a force is applied in the upward direction of the nail 3 or the toenail (dotted arrow direction).

Therefore, for a long time, the force acts in the direction in which the nails 3 or toenails are unfolded, and the ingrown nails 3 or toenails do not penetrate into the flesh (human tissue) while being corrected.

Such an embodiment of the present invention can be easily used by anyone, it is very convenient to use and easy to carry and store, as well as maximize the corrective effect of ingrown nails and toenails.
