Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to nail art tools and, more particularly, to a nail art tool, which is configured so that a through hole is formed in a body of the nail art tool to permit the insertion of a finger therein, and a scraping member and a stamp are provided, respectively, on first and second sides of the body, thus enabling the finger to be simply inserted when using the nail art tool.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a general nail art tool.
  • the nail art tool is provided with a scraping member 30 that trims a surface to place the nail polish on a pattern of an image plate, and a stamp 20 that is dabbed with nail polish and stamps it onto a user's nail.
  • the stamp 20 includes a cylindrical stamp body 21 and a stamp head 22 that is dabbed with the nail polish and stamps it onto the user's nail.
  • the scraping member 30 includes a narrow and straight blade portion 32 that is in close contact with the flat surface of the image plate to efficiently guide the nail polish.
  • problems with such a cylindrical nail art tool are that it must be held with several fingers being used, so that it is inconvenient to use and the manufacturing cost thereof is high.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a nail art tool, which includes a finger insertion portion having a through hole to permit the insertion of a finger, and a blade portion and a stamp provided on a first side and a second side of a body portion surrounding the finger insertion portion, thus enabling the nail art tool to be inserted into the finger and conveniently used.
  • the present invention provides a nail art tool, including a finger insertion portion having a through hole to permit insertion of a finger therein; a narrow and straight blade portion trimming a surface to place a nail polish on a pattern of an image plate; a stamp dabbed with the nail polish and stamping the nail polish onto a nail of the finger; and a body portion surrounding the finger insertion portion, the blade portion being integrated with the first side of the body portion, the stamp being coupled to the second side of the body portion.
  • a shape of the finger insertion portion may be that of a cylinder which has the through hole so that the finger can be inserted into the finger insertion portion in such a way as to be in close contact therewith, the through hole being formed in such a way that an entrance of a first side from which the insertion of the finger starts is wider than an exit of a second side.
  • the body portion may include an upper body portion and a lower body portion, the upper body portion and the lower body portion being coupled with each other via a coupling groove and a coupling member thereof in such a way as to surround the finger insertion portion.
  • a shape of a bottom of the lower body portion may be a shape that allows the stamp to be inserted and thus coupled to the lower body portion.
  • the bottom of the lower body portion may include the coupling member to be coupled to the coupling groove of the stamp.
  • advantages of the nail art tool according to the present invention are that it includes the finger insertion portion having the through hole to permit the insertion of the finger, and that it includes the blade portion and the stamp on first and second sides of the body portion surrounding the finger insertion portion, thus enabling the nail art tool to be inserted into the finger and conveniently used, and achieving a reduction in manufacturing cost due to a simple configuration.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a conventional nail art tool
  • FIGS. 2A to 2C are views showing a nail art tool according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view showing the nail art tool according to the present invention.
  • a nail art tool includes a finger insertion portion 200 that has a through hole 300 to permit insertion of a finger, a narrow and straight blade portion 400 that trims a surface to place a nail polish on a pattern of an image plate, a stamp 500 that is dabbed with the nail polish and stamps it onto a nail, and a body portion 100 that surrounds the finger insertion portion 200 .
  • the blade portion 400 is integrated with a first side of the body portion 100
  • the stamp 500 is coupled to a second side of the body portion 100 .
  • FIGS. 2A to 2C are views showing the nail art tool according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • the nail art tool includes the body portion 100 , the finger insertion portion 200 that has the through hole 300 to permit insertion of the finger, the blade portion 400 that is provided on the first side of the body portion 100 and trims the surface to place the nail polish on the pattern of the image plate, and the stamp 500 that is provided on the second side of the body portion 100 and is dabbed with the nail polish to stamp it onto the nail.
  • the body portion 100 surrounds the finger insertion portion 200 .
  • the blade portion 400 is integrally provided on an upper portion of the body portion 100 , while the stamp 500 is coupled to a lower portion of the body portion 100 .
  • the shape of the finger insertion portion 200 is that of a cylinder having the through hole 300 so that the finger can be inserted into the finger insertion portion 200 in such a way as to be in close contact therewith.
  • the through hole 300 is formed in such a way that an entrance of a first side from which the insertion of the finger starts is wider than the exit on a second side.
  • the blade portion 400 serves to trim the nail polish applied to the image plate so as to place the nail polish along the pattern, and is integrally provided on the upper portion of the body portion 100 in such a way as to extend in a longitudinal direction thereof.
  • the blade portion 400 has a narrow and straight shape to be in close contact with the flat surface of the image plate and thus efficiently guide the nail polish.
  • the stamp 500 is coupled to the lower portion of the body portion 100 .
  • the stamp 500 is made of synthetic resin having flexibility and a predetermined elasticity to efficiently come into close contact with the curved nail. That is, the shape of the surface of the stamp 500 that is dabbed with the nail polish preferably is a curved shape having a predetermined curvature. This allows the nail polish dabbed according to the pattern of the image plate to be efficiently applied to a whole surface of the stamp 500 .
  • FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view showing the nail art tool according to the present invention.
  • the body portion 100 includes an upper body portion 110 and a lower body portion 120 .
  • the upper body portion 110 and the lower body portion 120 are coupled with each other via a coupling groove and a coupling member thereof in such a way as to surround the finger insertion portion 200 .
  • the bottom of the lower body portion 120 includes the coupling member to be coupled to the coupling groove of the stamp 500 .
  • the shape of the bottom of the lower body portion 120 is a shape that allows the stamp 500 to be inserted and thus coupled to the lower body portion 120 . If the bottom of the lower body portion 120 is coupled to the stamp 500 , the shape of the surface of the stamp 500 is a shape that protrudes and has a predetermined curvature. The nail polish is applied to the surface of the stamp 500 depending on the pattern of the image plate pattern.
  • the present invention is directed to a nail art tool and is available for the nail art tool-related industry.
