Athletes where fingertip sensation is important, such as baseball pitchers, have a great influence on the pitch of the nail, and if the nail cracks, it will crack immediately before the next inning begins even during a game. Need to be repaired.
Further, if cracks are predicted to occur even if no cracks have occurred in the nail, it is necessary to reinforce quickly in advance.

The nail repair method as described above is not suitable for repair within a limited short time because natural silk fibers must be cut so as to match the shape of the nail, which requires labor.
Even if there is a margin in time, if it can be repaired as easily and as quickly as possible, it will not be over.

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and provides a nail repair tool that can easily repair a nail in a short time and a nail repair kit using the nail repair tool.

The present invention includes a plurality of fiber sheet pieces obtained by cutting a fiber sheet knitted by warps and wefts intersecting each other in advance so as to have a size suitable for repairing a part of a nail. The piece provides a nail repair tool characterized by having a straight side cut obliquely with respect to the warp and the weft.

According to this invention, since the fiber sheet is prepared as a plurality of fiber sheet pieces that are pre-cut into a size suitable for repairing a part of the nail, for some reason, such as when a crack occurs in the nail. When repairing the nail, it is not necessary to cut the fiber sheet into an appropriate size, and the nail can be repaired easily in a short time.
In addition, each fiber sheet piece has a straight side cut obliquely with respect to the warp and the weft. By using the straight side as a guide, the warp and the weft are inclined with respect to the crack. The fiber sheet pieces can be easily positioned on the surface of the nail so as to cross each other.

This makes it easier for the fiber sheet piece to fit on the curved nail surface, making it easier for the fiber sheet piece to adhere to the surface of the nail, and less compared to the case where the warp or weft is parallel to the crack. The crack can be effectively reinforced by the area.
Reinforcing the cracked part with a small area makes it easier for the nail itself to bend together with the hardened fiber sheet piece, so that the feeling of the fingertip after repair can be maintained in an extremely natural state, and great force and impact are applied to the nail The hardened fiber sheet piece is difficult to peel off from the nail.

The nail repair device according to the present invention comprises a plurality of fiber sheet pieces obtained by cutting a fiber sheet knitted by warps and wefts intersecting each other in advance so as to have a size suitable for repairing a part of the nail. And each fiber sheet piece has a straight side cut obliquely with respect to the warp and the weft.

In the nail repair device according to the present invention, the nail means a plate-like skin appendage formed by changing and hardening the skin of the epidermis at the tip of the amniotic finger, and is not particularly limited. It is preferably used for repairing the claws and claws of mammals and birds.
The fiber sheet means a woven fabric knitted by crossing warp and weft made of fibers.
Here, as the fibers, for example, natural fibers such as wool, silk, cotton, hemp (linen), chemical fibers such as nylon and polyester, or glass fibers can be used.

In the nail repair device according to the present invention, the plurality of fiber sheet pieces may have different sizes.
This is because the optimum size of the fiber sheet piece varies depending on the purpose of repair. For example, when emphasizing the feeling of the fingertip after repair, such as a baseball pitcher, a fiber sheet piece having a minimum size necessary for repair is used. If repair is performed in an area larger than necessary, the reinforcement of the nail becomes excessive, and the sense of the fingertip after the repair may change, which may hinder pitching.
On the other hand, for example, when the strength of the repaired portion is more important than the sense of the fingertip after repair, such as a baseball fielder, the nails are sufficiently reinforced using a relatively large fiber sheet piece.
Therefore, if a plurality of fiber sheet pieces having different sizes are prepared as described above, an appropriate size fiber sheet piece is appropriately selected according to the purpose of repair, and repair according to the purpose is performed in a short time. This can be done easily.

In the nail repair device according to the present invention, the plurality of fiber sheet pieces may have different shapes.
According to such a configuration, a fiber sheet piece having an optimal shape according to the content of the repair, such as the direction of the crack and the shape of the portion requiring reinforcement, is appropriately selected, and repair according to the purpose can be easily performed in a short time. It can be carried out.

In the nail repair device according to the present invention, each fiber sheet piece may have a shape with square corners dropped.
According to such a configuration, at least four sides that are inclined with respect to the warp and the weft are provided, so even those who are not used to repairing work by using these four sides as a guide can resist cracks. Thus, it becomes easy to position the fiber sheet piece so that the warp and the weft intersect diagonally, and the workability is improved.
In addition, the shape with the square corners removed is easy to use for repair work of various contents such as repairing cracks and partial reinforcement, and the fiber sheet pieces are used as nails because the corners are dropped. Even when attached, wrinkles are unlikely to occur, and the hardened fiber sheet piece is difficult to peel off from the surface of the nail even after bonding.

In the nail repair device according to the present invention, the fiber sheet may be made of silk fabric.
According to such a configuration, the reinforcement of the nail after repair is unlikely to be excessive, and the hardened fiber sheet piece easily bends flexibly together with the nail itself even when a large force or impact is applied. This is more preferable for maintaining the sense in a natural state.
Moreover, it becomes more preferable also from making hardened fiber sheet piece difficult to peel from the surface of a nail | claw.

In the nail repair device according to the present invention, the fiber sheet may have an adhesive layer on one surface.
According to such a configuration, not only the operation for placing and positioning the fiber sheet piece on the surface of the nail is facilitated, but also the fiber sheet piece is shifted and moved until the adhesive is cured. Therefore, the workability of repair work is improved.
Here, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is a known rubber-based pressure-sensitive adhesive, acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive, or silicone-based adhesive for temporarily attaching a nail repair tool to the surface of the nail until the adhesive is cured. It means a layer composed of an adhesive such as an adhesive and a urethane-based adhesive.

From another point of view, the present invention is a nail repair tool composed of a plurality of fiber sheet pieces to be affixed to a nail repair site, and an adhesive for adhering the affixed fiber sheet pieces to the surface of the nail. There is also provided a nail repair kit characterized in that the nail repair tool comprises the above-described nail repair tool according to the present invention.

In the above nail repair kit according to the present invention, the adhesive means a substance that is interposed between the nail repair tool and the nail surface and joins the nail repair tool to the nail surface, and is particularly limited. Although not intended, acrylic resin adhesives, urethane resin adhesives, epoxy resin adhesives, cyanoacrylate adhesives, and the like can be used.

In the above nail repair kit according to the present invention, the adhesive may comprise a cyanoacrylate adhesive.
According to such a structure, since the hardening time of an adhesive agent is short, it becomes preferable when repairing a nail | claw simply in a short time.

The above-described nail repair kit according to the present invention may further include, as a reinforcing material, resin powder sprayed so as to be buried in an uncured adhesive.
According to such a configuration, it is possible to reinforce the adhesive layer by increasing the layer thickness of the adhesive after curing, and the cured adhesive layer and the fiber sheet piece are difficult to peel off from the nail.

The nail repair kit according to the present invention may further include a curing accelerator that accelerates curing of the adhesive.
According to such a configuration, by using a curing accelerator as necessary, the curing of the adhesive can be accelerated and the repairing operation can be completed quickly.

In the above nail repair kit according to the present invention, the adhesive may consist of a mixture of a monomer composed of ethyl methacrylate and a powder of polymethyl methacrylate resin.
According to such a structure, it becomes easy to give thickness to a repair part, and the intensity | strength of a repair part becomes high. Further, the above-mentioned mixture is cured in a relatively short time of about several minutes, so that it is suitable for simply repairing the nail in a short time.

The nail repair kit according to the present invention may further include a brush for preparing and applying a mixture of a monomer made of ethyl methacrylate and a powder of polymethyl methacrylate resin.

In the above nail repair kit according to the present invention, the adhesive may be made of an ultraviolet curable urethane resin.
According to such a structure, it becomes easy to give flexibility to a repair part, and it becomes easy to maintain the feeling of the fingertip after repair to a natural thing. Further, since it is an ultraviolet curable type, it can be cured by irradiation with ultraviolet rays for several minutes, and is suitable for simply repairing a nail in a short time.

The nail repair kit according to the present invention may further include a cuticle remover that removes the cuticle of the nail, a grinder for grinding the surface of the nail, and a brush that applies an ultraviolet curable urethane resin.

The nail repair kit according to the present invention may further include a cleaning agent for removing moisture or oil adhering to the surface of the nail.
As the cleaning material, a material that can easily and quickly remove moisture and oil is preferable. For example, a highly volatile material mainly composed of ethyl acetate and aqueous ammonia can be used.

In the nail repair kit according to the present invention, at least the cleaning material and the adhesive may be provided with a code indicating the order of use.
According to such a configuration, even a person unfamiliar with the repair work can definitely perform the repair work without fail.

From another viewpoint, the present invention uses the above-described nail repair tool according to the present invention to cover the cracks of the nail with a fiber sheet piece, and impregnate the fiber sheet piece with an adhesive to nail the fiber sheet piece. The step of covering the crack of the nail with the fiber sheet piece, and the step of covering the crack of the nail with the fiber sheet piece so that the warp or weft of the fiber sheet piece obliquely intersects the crack of the nail The present invention also provides a method for repairing a nail characterized by being a covering step.
In addition, as described above, the nail means a plate-like skin appendage formed by changing and hardening the keratin of the epidermis at the tip of the amniotic finger, and is not particularly limited. It can be used for repairing the claws and claws of mammals and birds.

Hereinafter, a nail repair kit according to an embodiment of the present invention and a human nail repair method using the same will be described with reference to the drawings.

A human nail repair method (A method, B method, C method) using the nail repair kit 1 having such a configuration will be described with reference to FIGS.

[Method A]
A method of repairing a human nail by the method A using the adhesive 5A will be described with reference to FIGS. 18 to 21 are explanatory diagrams for explaining a process of repairing a crack generated in a human nail by the A method.
As shown in FIG. 18A, a crack 61 runs in the lateral direction near the tip of a human nail 60 to be repaired. First, the direction and size of the crack 61 are carefully observed, and a plurality of fiber sheet pieces 4a to 4f having different sizes and shapes are selected and pasted with a size and shape suitable for repairing the crack 61. Determine the direction and position. Here, in consideration of the direction and size of the crack 61, the smallest fiber sheet piece 4a among the shapes with the rectangular corners removed is used.

When the feeling of the fingertip after repair is important, it is preferable to select the fiber sheet pieces 4a to 4f having the minimum size and shape necessary for covering the crack 61. If the size of the crack 61 is too large, the repaired portion will naturally become larger, and the reinforcing effect may be excessive and the fingertip feeling after repair may become unnatural.

Further, with respect to the direction and position of attaching the fiber sheet pieces 4a to 4f, when the fiber sheet pieces 4a to 4f cover the crack 61, the warp yarn 45 and the weft yarn 46 (see FIG. 4) of the fiber sheet pieces 4a to 4f are used. Affixing direction and position are generally determined so as to cross obliquely with respect to the crack 61.

At this time, as described above, the fiber sheet pieces 4a to 4f have the straight sides 47 to 50 (see FIG. 4) that are inclined with respect to the warp yarn 45 and the weft yarn 46, so the straight sides 47 to If the fiber sheet pieces 4 a to 4 f are arranged so that any one side of 50 is parallel to the running direction of the crack 61, the warp yarn 14 and the weft yarn 15 naturally intersect with the crack 61 obliquely.
For this reason, by using the straight sides 47 to 50 of the fiber sheet pieces 4a to 4f as a guide, it is easy to make the warp yarn 45 and the weft yarn 46 of the fiber sheet pieces 4a to 4f obliquely intersect the crack 61. It is possible to produce high-quality and effective repair work with good workability.

Next, as shown in FIG. 18B, after the nail cleaning material 3 is applied to the repair location with the brush 22, the applied nail cleaning material 3 is naturally dried, and the moisture adhering to the repair location Remove oil. At this time, in consideration of applying the adhesive 5 </ b> A in a later step, the nail cleaning material 3 may be applied wider than a portion where the fiber sheet piece 4 a which has been determined in the previous step is applied.

Next, as shown in FIG. 19 (c), the release paper attached to the back side of the fiber sheet piece 4a selected in the previous step is peeled off, and the nail is placed in a predetermined direction and position. Place on 60 and press with a spatula 9 as appropriate to prevent slippage.
At this time, as shown in FIG. 19 (d), as described above, the linear shape of the fiber sheet piece 4a is set so that the warp yarn 45 and the weft yarn 46 of the fiber sheet piece 4a obliquely intersect the crack 61. The fiber sheet piece 4a is placed on the claw 60 and positioned using the sides 47 to 50 as a guide.

Next, as shown in FIG. 20 (e), the fiber sheet piece 4 a is covered with the vinyl film 10, and the fiber sheet piece 4 a is pressed against the nail 60 from the top of the vinyl film 10 and pasted. This is to prevent moisture and oil from adhering to the fiber sheet pieces 4a and the nails 60 as much as possible from the operator's fingertips, and to sufficiently exert the adhesive force of the adhesive 5A applied in a later step. .

Next, as shown in FIG. 20 (f), the fiber sheet piece 4a is impregnated with the adhesive 5A by applying the adhesive 5A to the fiber sheet piece 4a with the brush 25. At this time, the adhesive 5A is applied to a larger area than the fiber sheet piece 4a so that the adhesive 5A protrudes from the fiber sheet piece 4 onto the nail 60. However, if the adhesive 5A is applied to a very large area, the reinforcing effect becomes excessive, and it is difficult to maintain the fingertip sensation after repair in a natural state. For this reason, the area to which the adhesive 5A is applied may be an area that is the minimum necessary for fixing the fiber sheet piece 4a to the surface of the claw 60.

Next, the spraying acrylic resin powder 6 (see FIG. 8) is sprayed on the area where the adhesive 5A is applied. The sprayed acrylic resin powder 6 for spraying is buried in the uncured adhesive 5A and serves to reinforce the cured adhesive 5A.
Thereafter, when the curing accelerator 7 (see FIG. 9) is sprayed toward the repaired portion to complete the curing of the adhesive 5A, the crack 61 (FIG. 18) generated in the nail 60 as shown in FIG. The repair work of (a) is completed.
In addition, although the hardening accelerator 7 was utilized in this example, utilization of the hardening accelerator 7 is arbitrary, and when there is no urgency, you may make it harden | cure without using.

Further, the step of applying the adhesive 5A and the step of spraying the spraying acrylic resin powder 6 may be repeated about 2 to 4 times as necessary. As the number of repetitions increases, the layer thickness of the adhesive 5A increases and the reinforcing effect increases.
However, if the reinforcing effect becomes too high, the feeling of the fingertip after repair becomes unnatural or the cured adhesive 5A and the fiber sheet piece 4a are easily peeled off from the nail 60.

In this example, the fiber sheet piece 4a having the minimum size necessary for covering the crack 61 is used, and the adhesive 5A is applied with a minimum necessary area for fixing the fiber sheet piece 4a to the nail 60. The cured adhesive 5A and the fiber sheet piece 4a do not hinder the bending of the nail 60, and the fingertip feeling after repair can be naturally maintained.
For this reason, the above-described repair method is suitably used when, for example, an emergency treatment is performed on the spot for an accident generated at a human fingertip that requires a delicate sense of the fingertip, such as a baseball pitcher.

On the other hand, when emphasizing the strength after repair rather than the sense of the fingertips, such as a baseball fielder, relatively thick fiber sheet pieces 4b to 4f are used for the crack 61, and the adhesive 5A is thickly applied over a wide area. It is good to do.

[Method B]
A method for repairing a human nail by the B method using the adhesive 5B will be described with reference to FIGS. 22 to 24 are explanatory views for explaining a process for repairing a crack generated in a human nail by the B method.
In addition, since the process until it affixes the selected fiber sheet piece 4a on the crack 61 of the nail | claw 60 is the same as that of the above-mentioned A method, detailed description is abbreviate | omitted.

First, as shown in FIG. 22A, an appropriate amount of acrylic liquid 16 is divided into the dappen glass 12, and the acrylic liquid 16 is included in the brush 11A.
Next, as shown in FIG. 22B, the tip of the brush 11A is brought into slight contact with the acrylic resin powder 17, and the acrylic resin powder 17 is sucked into the acrylic liquid 16 so that the acrylic resin powder is applied to the tip of the brush 11A. The sphere 51 of the acrylic liquid 16 swollen by sucking 17 is attached. The sphere 51 can be freely shaped before it is semisolid and hardened.

Next, as shown in FIG. 23 (c), the sphere 51 of the acrylic liquid 16 attached to the tip of the brush 11A is placed on the fiber sheet piece 4a, and then, as shown in FIG. 23 (d). The acrylic liquid 16 including the acrylic resin powder 17 is spread on a necessary place on the nail 60 by using the belly of the brush 11A. For ease of explanation, the acrylic resin powder 17 contained in the acrylic liquid 16 is represented by black dots, but the acrylic resin powder 17 is almost transparent when spread on the nail 60.

Thereafter, if necessary, the above-described process of placing the sphere 51 on the nail 60 and spreading it is repeated about 3 to 4 times and left for about 3 to 4 minutes to leave the acrylic liquid 16 containing the acrylic resin powder 17. As shown in FIG. 24E, the repair work for the crack 61 (see FIG. 18A) generated in the claw 60 is completed.
Depending on the size of the crack 61 and the load applied to the nail 60, the above-described process of placing and spreading the sphere 51 may be repeated to further widen the repair region or increase the thickness of the repair portion.

Thus, in the repair method by B method, since the semi-solid thing which included the acrylic resin powder 17 in the liquid 16 for acrylics is used for fixation of the fiber sheet piece 4a, the thickness of a repair location can be made thick. For this reason, the repair method by B method can make the intensity | strength of a repair location still higher than the repair method by the above-mentioned A method.
For this reason, the repair method according to the B method is suitable for a case where, for example, a sense of discomfort at a repair location does not matter so much, such as a baseball fielder, or an accident that occurs at the fingertip of a human who seeks higher strength even when there is a discomfort. It is preferably used for emergency treatment on the spot.

[Method C]
A method for repairing a human nail by the C method using the adhesive 5C will be described with reference to FIGS. 25 to 24 are explanatory diagrams for explaining a process of repairing a crack generated in a human nail by the C method.

As shown in FIG. 25 (a), a crack 61 runs in the lateral direction near the middle of the human nail 60 to be repaired. Observe the direction and size of the crack 61 in the same manner as the above-mentioned method A, and select a fiber sheet piece 4a to 4f having a size and shape suitable for repairing the crack 61 from the fiber sheet pieces 4a to 4f having different sizes and shapes. The direction and position for pasting are generally determined. The crack 61 to be repaired in this example is relatively smaller than the crack 61 repaired by the above-described A method and B method. However, since the C method is not an emergency measure but intended for stable repair and reinforcement over a long period, A slightly large fiber sheet piece 4e having a shape in which the shape is dropped is used.

Regarding the direction and position of attaching the fiber sheet pieces 4a to 4f, when the fiber sheet pieces 4a to 4f cover the crack 61, the warp yarn 45 and the weft yarn 46 of the fiber sheet pieces 4a to 4f ( The attachment direction and position are generally determined so that (see FIG. 4) obliquely intersects the crack 61.
Therefore, using the straight sides 47 to 50 (see FIG. 4) of the fiber sheet pieces 4a to 4f as a guide, the general direction and position so that the straight sides 47 to 50 are parallel to the direction in which the crack 61 runs. It is good to decide.

Next, as shown in FIG. 25 (b), the cuticle at the base of the nail 60 is removed by the stone pusher 13.
Next, as shown in FIG. 26C, the surface of the nail 60 is ground using the sponge file 14. When grinding is completed, excess nail powder (dust) remaining on the surface of the nail 60 is removed.

Next, as shown in FIG. 26 (d), after the nail cleaning material 3 is applied to the repair site with the brush 22, the applied nail cleaning material 3 is naturally dried, and the moisture adhering to the repair site Remove oil. At this time, in this example, the nail cleaning material 3 is applied to the entire region of the nail 60 so that the region where the crack 61 is generated is included.

Next, as shown in FIG. 27 (e), the release paper pasted on the back side of the fiber sheet piece 4e selected in the previous step is peeled off, and the nail is placed in a predetermined direction and position. Place on top of 60 and press with spatula 9 as appropriate to avoid slippage.
At this time, as shown in FIG. 27 (f), as described above, the linear shape of the fiber sheet piece 4e is set so that the warp yarn 45 and the weft yarn 46 of the fiber sheet piece 4e obliquely intersect the crack 61. The fiber sheet piece 4e is placed on the claw 60 and positioned using the sides 47 to 50 as a guide.

Next, as shown in FIG. 28 (g), the fiber sheet piece 4 e is covered with the vinyl film 10, and the fiber sheet piece 4 e is pressed against the nail 60 from the top of the vinyl film 10 and attached.
Next, as shown in FIG. 28 (h), an appropriate amount of the base gel 18 is placed on the brush 11B and applied to the entire surface of the nail 60 including the region where the fiber sheet piece 4e is attached.
After the base gel 18 is applied, the nail 60 is irradiated with ultraviolet light for about 1 minute using a UV light irradiation device (not shown) to cure the applied base gel 18.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 29 (i), the sealer gel 19 is applied over the entire surface of the nail 60 with the brush 34 on the cured base gel 18, and ultraviolet light is applied using a UV irradiation device (not shown). Irradiate for 3 minutes to cure.

Thereafter, when the uncured sealer gel 19 on the surface of the sealer gel 19 cured by adding the wiping agent 15 (see FIG. 17) to the cotton was wiped off, the nail 60 was generated as shown in FIG. 29 (j). The repair work of the crack 31 (see FIG. 25A) is completed.

In this example, the base gel 18 is applied as an undercoat and the sealer gel 19 is applied as an overcoat for the following reason.
Although the base gel 18 is inferior in strength to the sealer gel 19, the base gel 18 is excellent in adhesion to the surface of the nail 60 and has a characteristic that it can easily follow the bending of the nail 60 because it has flexibility.
On the other hand, the sealer gel 19 has a high molecular structure and has a characteristic that when cured, it becomes harder than the base gel 18 and is excellent in strength.
For this reason, when the base gel 18 is used as an undercoat, it is possible to naturally follow the bending of the nail 60 while increasing the degree of adhesion to the nail 60. Then, by covering the surface of the hardened base gel 18 with the sealer gel 19, the hardness (strength) that is insufficient for the base gel 18 can be compensated.
Further, if the repair is performed only with the base gel 18, the surface becomes rough, and various stains may be attached, or the base gel 18 that has been cured by a daily detergent or hair styling may melt. In order to prevent these problems, it can be said that it is preferable to further coat the cured base gel 18 with the sealer gel 19.

In the nail repair method by the C method, the base gel 18 having excellent adhesion and flexibility to the nail 60 is used for fixing the fiber sheet piece 4e, and the base gel 18 is further covered with the sealer gel 19 having excellent hardness. The nail | claw 60 can be reinforce | strengthened firmly, being a very natural state.
However, pretreatment such as removal of the cuticle by the stone pusher 13 and grinding by the sponge file 14 is necessary, and further, a UV irradiation device is necessary for curing the base gel 18 and the sealer gel 19.
For this reason, the repair method by the C method is suitably used for daily care of a crack of a nail generated at a human fingertip that requires care of the nail, such as a baseball player.

[Removal method]
The repaired portion applied to the human nail 60 by the above-described A method, B method and C method can be removed by using acetone.
Specifically, the repaired portion of the nail 60 is immersed in acetone in a glass container and left for about 10 to 15 minutes, or cotton soaked with acetone is wrapped around the nail and covered with aluminum foil from above. Leave it for about 10-15 minutes.
Thereafter, when the repaired part that has been lifted or softened from the surface of the nail 60 is scraped off with a stick or the like, the repaired part can be removed without difficulty.
If the repaired part is not sufficiently lifted or softened, it should be soaked in acetone again without being forcibly removed.
After removing the repaired part, wipe it clean with cotton soaked in acetone, and thoroughly wash and moisturize.
