An Artificial Nail with a Property Emitting a Flavor and a Method for Producing the Same

The present invention relates to an artificial nail having a fragrance emitting characteristic and a manufacturing method thereof, and more particularly, to an artificial nail having a fragrance emitting characteristic in which a fragrance is continuously released in a worn state, and a manufacturing method thereof.

Artificial nails are a type of nail art that aesthetically or artistically express nails or toenails, and are made of synthetic resin materials or natural materials. The artificial nail may be attached to the nail or toenail by means of an adhesive, and for example, the artificial nail may be attached to the nail or toenail by a double-sided adhesive tape. Such an adhesive may include various chemical components, and due to this, there is a risk of damaging the nail or toenail when used for a long period of time. In addition, in a state in which the artificial nail is attached, a minute gap may be generated between the nail or toenail and the artificial nail, and various types of bacteria may be generated in the gap. As a prior art related to artificial nails or adhesives, there is Patent Registration No. 10-1164554. The prior art discloses a double-sided tape for artificial nails. In addition, Patent Publication No. 10-2014-0093558 discloses an antibacterial tape. Artificial nails may have a space between the upper surface of the nail or toenail and the lower contact surface of the artificial nail due to various causes, and various types of bacteria or bacteria may be generated in this space. And since artificial nails remain attached to the nail or toenail for a long time, it is necessary to continuously perform antibacterial action. On the other hand, artificial nails can be a means of expressing one's unique taste. Therefore, it is advantageous for the artificial nail to have a characteristic capable of displaying such a taste, and, for example, when a unique fragrance is emitted from the artificial nail itself, such a taste can be expressed. However, the prior art does not disclose artificial nails having such characteristics.

Referring to FIG. 1 , a method of manufacturing an artificial nail having a fragrance emitting characteristic includes the steps of preparing a fragrance ingredient (P11); Forming a fragrance-releasing material by mixing the fragrance component with the base component (P12); Mixing the fragrance release material with the synthetic resin material to prepare a master batch (P13); and forming an artificial nail or a film attachable to the artificial nail from the masterbatch and the material to be formed (P14).

The fragrance ingredient may be various kinds of fragrance ingredients extracted from natural products such as plants or trees, or may be artificially synthesized ingredients. For example, the fragrance component may be a pine fragrance, a juniper fragrance, a phytoncide fragrance, a pine fragrance, a chestnut fragrance, or various natural or artificial wood fragrances such as these. The flavor component may be, for example, apple flavor, vanilla flavor, banana flavor, peach flavor or various fruit flavors similar thereto. Alternatively, the fragrance component may be, for example, lavender fragrance, herbal fragrance or similar aromatic fragrance. In addition, fragrance ingredients are (E)-9-oxodec-2-enoic acid (9-ODA) (C ₁₀ H ₁₆ O ₃ ), methyl-4-hydroxybenzoate (C ₈ H ₈ O ₃ ) secreted from animals or plants. , 2-methyl-1-butanol (C ₅ H ₁₂ O) or n-butyl-n-butyrate (C ₈ H ₁₆ O ₂ ), or a similar pheromone flavor. One or more fragrance ingredients may be prepared, and the fragrance ingredients may be in liquid form and may be appropriately diluted in advance (P11). When such a fragrance component is prepared, an anti-emitting material containing and maintaining the fragrance component may be prepared (P12). The fragrance component needs to be released slowly over time while being contained in the artificial nail, and the fragrance-releasing material may have a function of releasing a predetermined amount while maintaining the diluted fragrance component. The fragrance release material may include, for example, zeolite, fatty acids (C ₃₄ H ₆₆ O ₄ Zn), stearamide, or the like. When such a fragrance-releasing material is prepared, it can be mixed with a diluted fragrance ingredient to make a masterbatch (P13). For the preparation of the masterbatch, the diluted fragrance component and the fragrance-releasing material may be mixed with the base material to make a masterbatch (P13). The base material may be, for example, polypropylene, polyurethane, or similar synthetic resin material, but is not limited thereto. The masterbatch may include at least one fragrance component, zeolite and polypropylene, and may optionally include various components. Specifically, the masterbatch contains 0.00001 to 1.0 g of a fragrance component; 5 to 70 wt % of zeolite; and polypropylene making the whole 100 wt%. The masterbatch comprises 5 to 50 wt % of zeolite; 5 to 30 wt% of fatty acids or stearoamide; and polypropyl to make the whole 100 wt%. Optionally, as the masterbatch, polyurethane may be used together with polypropylene, and the polyurethane may be in an amount of 10 to 50 wt% based on 100 wt% of polypropylene. A very small amount or a trace amount of the fragrance component may be added, and may be added after being diluted with water or various components capable of dispersing a fragrance component similar thereto. For example, the fragrance component may be added in a diluted state with propylene glycol or vegetable glycerin, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

The zeolite may be a carrier or carrier, and may have an antibacterial function. The zeolite may include, for example, various types represented by (SiO ₂ /Al ₂ O ₃ ), and may include zeolite X or zeolite Y. The zeolite may be a porous material having a diameter of 0.1 to 10.0 nm, but is not limited thereto, and may include various types of zeolite in which the pore size or porosity is controlled. Fatty acids may have the function of an emulsifier, a texture enhancing agent, a wetting agent, an anti-foaming agent, or a stabilizer. Stearoamides may have the function of dispersing or release agents. In addition, the polypropylene may have a function of allowing the antibacterial components to adhere to each other and at the same time, to allow the resin components, which are artificial nail materials or film materials, to adhere to each other. In addition, polypropylene may have hydrophobicity, thereby preventing moisture from forming between the adhesive tape and the nail or toenail. The master batch is, for example, LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene), HDPE (High Density Polyethylene), PP (Poly Propylene), PS (Poly Styrene), ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) or similar polymers based on 5 to 20 wt. It can be made into a master batch with a concentration ratio of %, but preferably the master batch can be made with a concentration ratio of 5 to 20 wt % by mixing with polyurethane. The master batch may be made into pellets, beads, chips or the like. In this method, when the masterbatch is made (P13), it is mixed with a synthetic resin component for artificial nail, mixed with a synthetic resin component for manufacturing double-sided tape for bonding artificial nail, or independently double-sided adhesive tape or artificial nail It can be made of a fragrance release film attached to the (P14). This masterbatch may be directly mixed with the artificial nail, mixed with an adhesive tape for adhering the artificial nail to the nail or toenail, or made as a fragrance release film independently attached to the artificial nail, and the present invention is not limited thereto. .

Optionally, an antibacterial component may be added during the manufacturing process of the artificial nail according to the present invention, for example, an antimicrobial component may be added during the manufacturing process of the masterbatch. The antibacterial component may be, for example, zinc stearate ((CH ₃ (CH ₂ ) ₁₆ COO) ₂ Zn), and may have an antibacterial function together with fatty acids or steroamides. Zinc stearate may be added, for example, in an amount of 0.01 to 2 wt% based on the total weight of the masterbatch. Various antibacterial ingredients may be added to the masterbatch and the present invention is not limited thereby.

2 shows an embodiment in which the artificial nail according to the present invention is made in the form of a film.

Referring to FIG. 2 , the nail art may be made in the form of an independently attachable film. For example, the fragrance release films 22_1 to 22_N may be made of a nail-type film that can be attached to a nail or toenail, and a plurality of them may be attached to the substrate 21 . And, according to the user's selection, each of the fragrance release films 22_1 to 22_N may be separated from the base 21 and attached to the top of the artificial nail or to the nail or toenail. Perfume release film (22_1 to 22_N), for example, mixing the mast batch and polyurethane raw material; extruding the mixed raw material in an extruder; stretching the extruded raw material; forming an incision in the stretched film; And it needs to be made through the step of attaching to the substrate, but is not limited thereto. The fragrance-releasing component may be made as an independent article such as the fragrance-releasing films 22_1 to 22_N as described above, but may be included in nail art or an adhesive tape.

3A and 3B show an embodiment of structural characteristics of an artificial nail according to the present invention.

The artificial nails shown in FIGS. 3A to 3B include a nail base including a polyurethane component; and a fragrance-releasing material that is mixed with the nail base or is attached to the nail base and emits a fragrance to the outside in a state of being attached, wherein the fragrance is a plant extract component or (E)-9-oxodec-2-enoic acid (9- ODA), methyl-4-hydroxy benzoate, 2-methyl-1-butanol and n-butyl-n-butyrate may be at least one component selected from the group consisting of. The artificial nail may be made in various shapes and is not limited to the presented embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 3A , the artificial nail 30 includes an exposed portion 31a exposed to the outside and an adhesive surface 31b attached to the outer surface of the nail, and an adhesive pattern ( 32) is formed, and at least a portion of the bonding pattern 12 may have the same or different heights along the longitudinal direction LD or the width directions WD1 and WD2 with respect to the base surface of the bonding surface 31b. . The artificial nail 30 may have a shape similar to the shape of all or part of the nail as a whole, and has an exposed portion 31a that is exposed to the outside while being in a plate shape as a whole and an adhesive surface 31b that is adhered to the outer surface of the nail. can be done The artificial nail 30 may have a curved shape corresponding to a nail, such as a nail or toenail, along the width directions WD1 and WD2. Due to this, the bonding surface 31b may have a curved shape having a large radius of curvature in the width directions WD1 and WD2. The adhesive surface 31b includes a base portion 35 along the longitudinal direction LD; an induction part 34 extending along the width directions WD1 and WD2 while being connected to the base part 35 and having a constant width; and an adhesive pattern 32 formed above the induction portion 34 . Optionally, a separation tab 36 is formed at the end of the base portion 35 so that the artificial nail 30 can be easily separated if necessary. The guide portion 34 may have a groove shape extending with a constant width along the width directions WD1 and WD2 , and may have a relatively thin thickness compared to the base portion 35 . As the induction part 34 is made into a groove shape and is made thinner than the base part 35 or the part where the adhesive pattern 32 is formed, the artificial nail 30 is formed based on the center line in the longitudinal direction (WD). It can be easily bent in the width direction and can have a large elastic modulus. The artificial nail 30 may be easily bent in the width directions WD1 and WD2 as compared to the length direction LD as a whole, and may have elasticity restored to its original shape having a curved shape. In addition, an adhesive pattern 32 may be formed above the induction portion 34 .

The adhesive pattern 32 may serve to improve the adhesiveness of the artificial nail 30 to the nail and at the same time increase the adhesiveness between the adhesive surface 31b of the artificial nail 30 and the outer surface of the nail. In addition, the adhesive pattern 32 may have a function of preventing a part of the artificial nail 30 from being deformed during use. For example, it is prevented from being deformed due to external pressure being applied to a part of the artificial nail 30 during handling or use. Such a shape maintaining characteristic or deformation preventing characteristic may be made by the arrangement structure of the adhesive pattern 32 or the elasticity of the material. In addition, the shape-maintaining characteristics improve the aesthetic function of the artificial nail 30 together with adhesion. The artificial nail 30 is made to have a shape similar to that of a nail, but cannot have a shape that matches the shape of the complex external surface of the nail. In addition, an individual's nail may have a similar shape as a whole, but may have a slight difference in shape. Due to this, the adhesiveness or adhesion of the artificial nail 30 made in large quantities may be different depending on the nail. The adhesive pattern 32 may have a function of preventing a decrease in adhesiveness or tightness due to such a difference in the fine shape of the nail. The adhesive pattern 32 may be made in various shapes to improve adhesiveness or adhesion, and for example, a plurality of pattern protrusions 33_1 to 33_N may be uniformly or non-uniformly on the base surface forming the adhesive pattern 32 . can be placed. The base surface may be part of the adhesive surface 31b forming the upper portion of the induction portion 34 , and the base surface may have the same, smaller, or greater thickness as the induction portion 34 . Optionally, the base surface on which the adhesive pattern 32 is formed and the induction portion 34 may form a stepped surface, or a boundary line may be formed between the base surface and the induction portion 34 . A cross section of the pattern protrusions 33_1 to 33_N in the horizontal direction may be a polygon such as a quadrangle, an ellipse, a circle, or a shape similar thereto, but is not limited thereto. The different pattern protrusions 33_1 to 33_N may have different heights, for example, a structure in which the height decreases from the induction portion 34 to the end of the adhesive surface 31b along the longitudinal direction LD. can be Also, the pattern protrusions 33_1 to 33_N disposed in the width direction with respect to the center line in the length direction LD may have a smaller height in the extension direction. Also, different pattern protrusions 33_1 to 33_N may have different cross-sectional areas. As described above, the adhesiveness of the artificial nail 30 may be improved by forming the pattern protrusions 33_1 to 33_N to have different heights along the length direction LD or the width direction. In addition, by forming the heights of the pattern protrusions 33_1 to 33_N to be smaller or different from each other along the longitudinal direction LD, for example, partial separation or peeling of the artificial nail 30 such as lifting of the tip can be prevented. there is.

Referring to FIG. 3B , the pattern protrusions 33_1 to 33_N may be formed to protrude from the base surface B. Referring to FIG. The pattern protrusions 33_1 to 33_K formed on the bonding surface 31b may be disposed to decrease in height from the induction portion 34 to the end of the bonding surface 31b. 3B (a) illustrates a cross-section of each of the pattern protrusions 33_1 to 33_K along the longitudinal direction LD. The protrusion widths 33_LW in the longitudinal direction of each of the pattern protrusions 33_1 to 33_N may be the same or different from each other. In addition, the protrusion height 33_LH of each of the pattern protrusions 33_1 to 33_N may decrease from the induction portion 34 toward the end of the adhesive surface 31b. For example, the first N and N-1 pattern protrusions 33_N and 33_N-1 from the induction portion 34 may have the same height and have a greater height than other pattern protrusions (33_N-2 to 33_1), and , the height may gradually decrease from the N-2th pattern protrusion 33_N-2 to the first pattern protrusion 33_1. As the N-th and N_2 pattern protrusions 33_N and 33_N-1 have the same height, A portion adjacent to the induction portion 34 has a strong adhesive force.

(b) of FIG. 3B is a cross-sectional view of the induction portion 34 along the width directions WD1 and WD2, and the central portion and the edge may have different thicknesses. Specifically, the thickness formed by the outer surface 342 corresponding to the exposed portion and the inner surface 341 corresponding to the adhesive surface 11b may be different depending on the location. The bonding surface 31b may have a curved overall shape, and the induction portion 34 forming a portion of the bonding surface 31b may have a curved shape along the width directions WD1 and WD2. As both parts become symmetrical in the longitudinal direction LD, the central thickness TC may be greater than the edge thicknesses TP1 and TP2, and as it goes from the central part to the edge part along the width directions WD1 and WD2 The thickness may be reduced. By such a structure, structurally stable bending characteristics and elasticity may be maintained. In the process of making the artificial nail 30 having such a structure, the raw material for the artificial nail 30 and the master batch including the fragrance component may be mixed. The artificial nail 30 includes at least 5 wt% of polyurethane, and the masterbatch may also preferably include polyurethane. The manufactured artificial nail 30 can continuously emit fragrance while attached to the nail, and the user can select the artificial nail 30 that emits various fragrances according to taste. In the process of manufacturing the artificial nail 30 having various structures, a masterbatch for emitting fragrance may be added, and the artificial nail 30 having the proposed structure is not limited thereto.

Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the presented embodiment, those skilled in the art will be able to make various modifications and variations of the invention without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention with reference to the presented embodiment. . The present invention is not limited by such variations and modifications, but only by the claims appended hereto.
