Technical field
[0001] Tools and methods of cosmetic (non-medical, for visual improvement) procedures.
Prior art
[0002] The prior art of improving the shape of the nails consisted of usage of tools and
materials that would change the shape of the nail by applying the force on the nail
or its parts for an extended time.
[0003] With the invention and worldwide increase of usage of polymerizing acryl as a material
to improve nails and build on nails, and its property to be reshapable for a short
period even after application, the new easier and quicker method for improving of
the shape of the nail is presented as follows.
Purpose
[0004] Nails, an in particular toe nails of humans are considered important part of the
visual appearance, thus inventing the new tools and methods in order to improve their
visual appeal is the purpose of this invention. It consists of a cosmetic (non-medical)
procedure and a tool to execute the procedure that can be employed by cosmeticians.
[0005] The method of cosmetic (visual) improvement that is the invention of this patent,
has an inventive step in combining the properties of the new materials, polymerizing
acryl for cosmetic treatment of the nails, and the tool that is also the part of this
invention.
Details
[0006] The tool, named NAILKEY, is a small and portable device that consists of: 1) Replaceable
needles; 2) Tightening screw; 3) Needle holders; 4) The body; 5) Distance Screw; 6)
Housing, and is made of medical grade steel, as pictured in Figure 1.
[0007] The needles are to be replaceable, and of different sizes and tip shapes in order
to accommodate to different nail shapes and to be easily sterilized. The needles are
connected to the body and housing by the Screw and slotted holders.
[0008] The body is made of two parts, with one needle connected to each one part of the
body. Two parts of the body are flexibly connected to the housing, so that the screw
set between them, can set the distance of the needles.
[0009] The method for cosmetic improvement of visual appearance of the nail using the NAILKEY
tool consists of the following steps:
- 1) Disinfection of the nail and surrounding area as well as of the NAILKEY tool
- 2) Remove outer shine of the nail
- 3) Apply dehydrator, acid free for acryl
- 4) Aplicate the acryl for the nails over the whole nail evennly.
- 5) As the acrilic acril is still flexible for a brief time NAILKEY tool is applied
under laterals of the nail - Figure 2.1
- 6) While light pressure is applied to the apex of the nail, rotate the screw in the
body of the NAILKEY tool so that needles are being pushed outward, unitle the shape
that is appealing is obtained - Figure 2.2
- 7) Hold the positing for aproximately 1 minute or until acrilic acryl polimerisation
is comleted - Figure 2.3
- 8) Proceede with employing other methods of improving the visuals of the nail (cutting,
coloring, cleaning, etc) after desinfection
1. The cosmetic tool named NAILKEY is a small and portable device made of medical grade
steel for cosmetic reshaping of the nails that consists of (FIGURE 1): Replaceable
needles (1) secured by the Tightening screws (2) to the Needle holders (3) which are
integral part of the Body of device, and the Body is divided into two parts by the
Screw (6) by which distance between those two parts of the body can be controlled
to, in term, influence the distance of the needles while reshaping the nail, and of
Housing (7) that secures two parts of the Body.
2. The method for improvement of visual appearance of the nail using the NAILKEY tool
consists of the following steps: 1)Disinfection of the nail and surrounding area as
well as of the NAILKEY tool; 2)Remove outer shine of the nail; 3)Apply dehydrator,
acid free for acryl; 4) Aplicate the acryl for the nails over the whole nail evennly;
5) As the acrilic acril is still flexible for a brief time NAILKEY tool is applied
under laterals of the nail - Figure 2.1; 6) While light pressure is applied to the
apex of the nail, rotate the screw in the body of the NAILKEY tool so that needles
are being pushed outward, unitle the shape that is appealing is obtained - Figure
2.2; 7)Hold the positing for aproximately 1 minute or until acrilic acryl polimerisation
is comleted - Figure 2.3; 8) Proceede with employing other methods of improving the
visuals of the nail (cutting, coloring, cleaning, etc) after desinfection.
