Definitions

  • the invention is directed to protective coverings for use in tanning beds.
  • the invention is directed to a protective fingernail cover.
  • Tanning using artificial light leads to exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
  • UV radiation ultraviolet
  • a person may wish some parts of the body to be exposed to a certain amount of UV radiation but to reduce or eliminate UV exposure to other parts.
  • some of the coatings applied to fingernails are particularly susceptible to change when exposed to UV radiation.
  • nail polish changes to a different color when exposed to UV radiation such as changing from white to yellow. This color change is undesirable and results in the nail polish needing to be removed and then reapplied.
  • One embodiment of the invention is directed to a covering for fingernails.
  • the protective fingernail cover has a top, a bottom with a recess sized to receive a fingertip, and a band for securing the covering to the fingertip.
  • the protective fingernail cover is made of a UV-resistant material and may be formed integrally with the band or joined to the band by adhesive or a fastener.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of protective fingernail cover according to an embodiment of the invention.
  • Fig. 2 is a back view of the protective fingernail cover.
  • Fig. 3 is a top view of the protective fingernail cover.
  • Fig. 4 is a side view of the protective fingernail cover used in conjunction with a person's fingernail.
  • An embodiment of the invention relates to a protective fingernail cover for fingernails, as illustrated at 10 in the figures.
  • the protective fingernail cover 10 protects the fingernails from exposure to UV radiation when other portions of the body are exposed to UV radiation.
  • the protective fingernail cover 10 generally includes a top portion 12, a bottom portion 14 and a retention band 18.
  • the top portion 12 and the bottom portion 14 are joined together along side edges 20 and a distal edge 22 to thereby define an enclosure 24 that is adapted to receive a person's fingernail therebetween.
  • the top portion 12 and the bottom portion 14 are formed with a length and a width that are both sufficiently large to accommodate fingernails having a wide range of sizes.
  • the bottom portion 14 is shorter than the top portion 12 to define a recess 16.
  • the configuration enables the person to slide the finger sufficiently into the protective fingernail cover 10 so that substantially all of the person's fingernail is covered, as illustrated in Fig. 4.
  • the retention band 18 extends from the protective fingernail cover 10 proximate the proximal edge 26. When the protective fingernail cover 10 is placed over the person's fingernail, the retention band 18 extends around the person's fmger 30.
  • the protective fingernail cover 10 may be made integrally molded or assembled from component parts.
  • a UV-resistant plastic material may be used.
  • the material used to fabricate the protective fingernail cover 10 may be resilient to facilitate placing the protective fingernail cover 10 over fingernails and fingers having a variety of shapes and sizes.
  • the material used to form the protective fingernail cover 10 is all or partially of a dark color, such as blue, to increase absorption of UV radiation.
  • the protective fingernail cover 10 is placed over a fingernail, as illustrated in Fig. 4.
  • the wearer's fingertip is positioned adjacent the proximal edge 26 of the bottom portion 14 and secured in place by retention band 18.
  • protective fingernail cover 10 substantially prevents UV radiation from impinging upon the person's fingernail and thereby protects the person's fingernails from discoloring.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un revêtement de protection pour ongles comprenant des parties supérieure et inférieure, et une bande de retenue. La partie inférieure est jointe à la partie supérieure pour former une enveloppe conçue pour loger au moins partiellement l'ongle d'une personne. La bande de retenue s'étend de la partie supérieure ou de la partie inférieure, elle peut s'étendre autour du doigt, lorsque le revêtement de protection pour ongles est placé sur l'ongle de manière à retenir ledit revêtement à une position fixe par rapport à l'ongle.
