Definitions
- Keum Hwa Kim a citizen of Republic of Korea
- an Artificial Nail Containing Liquid of which the following is a specification : BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention
- the invention relates in general to artificial fingernails and toenails. More particularly, this invention relates to an artificial nail containing liquid to produce a desired cosmetic effect.
- Artificial nails are frequently used to enhance the appearance of natural fingernails and toenails.
- An artificial nail is usually a thin, plastic material applied on top of a natural fingernail or toenail.
- the plastic material typically has color similar to a natural nail.
- Artificial nails are manufactured in numerous shapes and sizes to accommodate the natural nails of different people.
- nail polish or adhesive designs can be applied to the nail to produce a desired cosmetic effect.
- bright-colored nail polish can be used to decorate the artificial fingernail.
- small stickers or painted designs can be applied to further embellish the nail.
- a fingernail-shaped base member is molded of a first, lighter color, preferably translucent, and an inlay of a second, darker color, preferably opaque, is molded into a top surface of the base member to produce areas of different color resulting in the desired fingernail style. Secure attachment of the inlay to the base member is insured by provision of a mechanical lock between the base member and the inlay.
- the present invention has a liquid layer that adds to the cosmetic design of the nail.
- Carroll uses an inlay, which is not liquid, to increase decorative appeal.
- Carroll cannot achieve the cosmetic effect associated with liquid.
- one object of the present invention is to provide an artificial nail with a cosmetic design incorporated into it.
- a second object of the invention is to provide an artificial nail with more than one layer.
- a third object of the invention is to provide an artificial nail with a liquid portion.
- the invention provides an artificial fingernail molded to contain liquid.
- the edge of a first layer is joined to the edge of a second layer.
- a liquid portion is positioned in between the first layer and the second layer. The color and composition of the liquid portion, along with decorative objects placed in the liquid portion, produce a desired cosmetic effect.
- FIG. 1 is a side plan view of an artificial fingernail produced in accordance with the invention.
- FIG. 2 is a front plan view of the embodiment of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 is a top view of the embodiment of FIG. 1 as combined with a natural fingernail in an assembly according to the invention
- FIG. 4 is a top view of a second embodiment as combined with a natural fingernail in an assembly according to the invention
- FIG. 1 a side plan view of an artificial fingernail 10 produced in accordance with the invention is shown.
- Artificial nail 10 is formed with a top layer 12, a bottom layer
- liquid portion 14 may include decorative objects 13 made of plastic, paper, or other material.
- Decorative objects 13 come in a variety of shapes, including stars, circles, polygons, and hearts.
- different colors, levels of clarity, and levels of viscosity for liquid portion 14 may be used. Levels of clarity range from transparent to fluorescent to opaque. Fluorescent material is used for luminescence in the dark.
- Liquids of different viscosity include thinner liquids like water, liquids like oil and thicker gravylike liquids.
- liquid portion 14 may include air to allow for the movement of liquid and decorative objects 13. A combination of air, water and other liquids, along with an assigned color for each liquid, may also be used to produce a desired cosmetic effect.
- top layer 12 and bottom layer 11 may be molded out of a completely transparent material or a translucent material simulating the natural color of a natural fingernail. The transparent nature allows liquid portion 14 to be seen through top layer 12.
- Top layer 12 and bottom layer 11 may comprise those materials commonly employed in the manufacture of artificial fingernails, i.e., ABS plastic, nylon, or vinyl acetate.
- top layer 12 or bottom layer 11 may be a transparent color.
- top layer 12 or bottom layer 11 may be a solid color. Any combination of colors and transparencies for top layer 12 and bottom layer 11 can be used to produce a desired cosmetic effect.
- Top layer 12 and bottom layer 11 form the shape of a natural fingernail, allowing for a proper fit with a natural fingernail.
- FIG. 3 a top view of the embodiment of FIG. 1 as combined with a natural fingernail in an assembly according to the invention is shown.
- the edge of top layer 12 and the edge of bottom layer 11 are joined along border 21 by glueing, melting or otherwise attaching the two edges. If liquid portion 14 contains air, movement of finger 20 will cause liquid portion 14 and decorative objects to move within artificial fingernail 10. If liquid portion 14 does not contain air, liquid portion 14 may not move within artificial fingernail 10, but decorative objects 13 may still move within liquid portion 14.
- top layer 12 and bottom layer 11 may contain air and no liquid.
- Decorative objects 13 may be placed and can move within the chamber formed by joining top layer 12 to bottom layer 11.
- FIG. 4 a top view of a second embodiment as combined with a natural fingernail in an assembly according to the invention is shown.
- liquid portion 14 only occupies the area covering finger 20.
- Nail tip 30 does not contain liquid. Instead, nail tip 30 is solid, with no space between top layer 12 and bottom layer 11. Nail tip 30 may be thinner than the area covering finger 20.
- nail tip 30 may be molded out of a translucent material simulating the natural color of a natural fingernail.
- Nail tip 30 may comprise those materials commonly employed in the manufacture of artificial fingernails, i.e., ABS plastic, nylon, or vinyl acetate.
