Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for the manufacture of an artificial nail, which comprises placing a mouldable and curable material into a mould, allowing the material to cure, and removing the thus formed artifi- cial nail from the mould.
- the invention also relates to an artificial nail manufactured according to such a method.
- An object of the invention is therefore to provide a simplified method for the manufacture of an artificial nail, with which it is possible to apply on the arti- ficial nail any decoration desired simultaneously with the manufacture of the artificial nails.
- An object of the invention is also to provide an environmentally friendly method for the manufacture of artificial nails.
- a particular object is to provide a method wherein it is not neces- sary to use nail varnish for obtaining a desired colour and surface finish on an artificial nail. It is a further object of the invention to provide a cheap method of manufacture for an artificial nail. It is also an object of the invention to provide a method by which any desired decoration can be applied on the artificial nail.
- a method as mentioned in the preamble character- ized in that in a first step the method in addition comprises a decorative element being placed in the mould, such that the decorative element forms the top side of the formed artificial nail and the decorative element is bonded with the curable material .
- the invention provides a method by which it is very simple to obtain excellent bonding between the basic material of the artificial nail and the decorative element . According to this method it is further possible, to manufacture artifi- cial nails with a desired decoration in a manner that in terms of environment is very friendly.
- the decorative element is formed by a film material.
- the film material and the curable material are made of same material. This means that the final artificial nail is a mono product, being a product comprised of one single material .
- this material is an acrylonitrile butadiene styrene resin.
- the curable material is added at a temperature of 200-300°C, preferably at a temperature of 240-260°C, while according to yet another preferred embodiment, the film material fuses at least partly, resulting in an excellent bonding between the film material and the curable material.
- both components consist of the same material, and/or they have at least substantially the same softening or fusion temperature.
- This provides a very strong and solid bond between the origi- nally separate components, resulting in the aforementioned mono product. In this way damage to the artificial nail is to a large extent avoided, in contrast with the usual artificial nails that are finished with nail varnish.
- the method is especially convenient if the materials soften, or melt at least partly at the processing temperature, because in that case no solvents are required.
- the decoration applied on the artificial nail, and which forms part of the film material may comprise any desired image. It is also possible, for example, to make the decorative element in the form of a hologram, or a fluorescent or otherwise luminous surface. Of course, it is also possible to have decorative elements projecting from the top surface of the artificial nail to be manufactured, for which purpose the mould may also be provided with recesses for receiving said projecting elements during the manufacture of the artificial nail .
- Figures 1 to 3 show various steps in the forming of an artificial nail according to the present method.
- Figure 4 shows a particular embodiment of a bottom mould. According to the method of the present invention, it is very simple to manufacture an artificial nail provided with an appropriate desired decoration. To begin with, the decoration is applied to a film material.
- a mould is used consisting of two mould halves; a bottom half of a mould or bottom mould, and a top half of a mould or top mould.
- a film material 3 is placed into a bottom mould 1, which is provided with a depression 2.
- the film material has a first main surface 4 and a second main surface 5.
- the main surface 4 is provided with a desired decoration, and lies on the surface of the bottom mould 1.
- Figure 2 shows a following step in a method for the manufacture of an artificial nail according to the invention.
- the main surface 4 of the film material 3 lies on the shaped surface of the bottom mould 1.
- a top mould 6 is now placed on the bottom mould 1.
- mould- able material is injected in an arbitrary direction (see arrow) into the space 7. This occurs under such pressure that the space 7 is completely filled, while there are also outlet openings provided (not shown) .
- the material of the film material at the second main surface 5 consists of the same material as the injected mouldable material.
- the two mould halves may be provided with cooling facilities.
- Figure 3 shows that the top half of the mould 6 is removed, leaving a moulded artificial nail 9 in the bottom half of the mould 1. Naturally, this process may also take place the other way around, leaving the artifi- cial nail 9 at the top half of the mould 6.
- the film material is not distributed over the entire mould surface, which is, of course, also possible.
- the artificial nail may now simply be removed from the mould 1.
- the curable material from which the artificial nail is manufactured is an acrylonitrile butadiene styrene resin. After curing, this material has sufficient rigidity and is sufficiently tear and break resistant.
- the film material is preferably also an acrylonitrile butadiene styrene resin material.
- the film material may be laminated, wherein the side of the film material that, as represented in the Figures 1 to 3 faces upwards, is provided with a same material as the curable and mouldable material, for example, the acrylonitrile butadiene styrene resin material, from which the basic part of the artificial nail is formed. In that case an excellent bond will be obtained between the injected curable and mouldable material, and the film material . Because of the elevated temperature of the injected curable material, at least a part of the ma- •
