Technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to a nail shaping tool for a wound nail used for shaping a wound nail into a normal nail shape, and a false nail using the nail shaping tool.

Background art

Among the claws of the limbs, in particular, the claw of the thumb of the toe is easily deformed so that both side edges Al and A 2 of the claw A are wound inside as shown in FIG. The deformed nail A is generally called a `` curly nail '' and is not only looks bad, but also the side edges Al, A2, especially the tip part presses the fingertip and eats into the finger flesh, causing inflammation. May cause pain.

Conventionally, this kind of wound nail has been corrected and treated under the guidance of a doctor. As shown in the figure, a wire B is inserted into the tip of the nail A, and the wire B is wound with this wire B. Try to spread nails A.

[0003] However, the above-described correction method using wire B is performed under the guidance of a doctor and cannot be easily performed by the patient himself. In addition, the symptoms of curly nails vary, and if they are severe, treatment by a doctor is indispensable. If they are mild, patients themselves can correct or improve their claws or reshape their nails without using a doctor. It is also possible to do this.

[0004] Conventionally, as a method for correcting wound nails that can be performed by the patient himself, the leaf spring is bent and adhered to the surface of the nail with an adhesive, and the restoring force of the leaf spring is applied to the nail to deform it. Try to correct your nail to its normal form.

However, there is a problem that the attached leaf spring is easy to peel off the surface force of the nail, and in order to solve this problem, the surface of the nail is fixed to the surface of the nail so as to include the surface of the correction plate bonded to the surface of the nail. A method of applying an agent has also been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
