Abstract

The artificial nail (1) consists of a plastic material for bonding to a natural nail (2). For its use as a ready-to-wear nail, the plastic material is transparent and the artificial nail (1) is constructed as an optical substrate in the form of a magnifying glass. By this means, a picture illustration (5), which is inserted between the natural nail (2) and the artificial nail (1), is visible in such an enlarged form that its individual character is recognisable. <IMAGE>

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen künstlichen Nagel aus einem Kunststoff-Material zum Aufbringen auf einen natürlichen Nagel.The present invention relates to an artificial nail made of a plastic material for application to a natural nail.

Solche Zweitnägel dienen nicht nur zur Korrektur abgebrochener oder unschöner Nägel, sondern sind auch als zeitweilig zu tragendes modisches Accessoire beliebt. Für letzteres sind die künstlichen Nägel oft von eigenwilligster Farbgebung oder individuell bemalt.Such second nails are not only used to correct broken or unsightly nails, but are also popular as a fashion accessory to be worn temporarily. For the latter, the artificial nails are often of the most idiosyncratic coloring or individually painted.

Da solche künstlichen Nägel aber eine naturgemäss nur sehr kleine Oberfläche besitzen, können Bemalungen nur rudimentä­ren Charakter besitzen in der Regel ohne grosse Aussagekraft.However, since such artificial nails naturally only have a very small surface area, paintings can only have a rudimentary character, usually without great informative value.

Eine diesbezügliche Verbesserung zu erreichen ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung.To achieve an improvement in this regard is the object of the present invention.

Die Lösung besteht erfindungsgemäss darin, dass das Kunst­stoff-Material durchsichtig und der Nagel als optisches Sub­strat in Form einer Lupe ausgebildet ist.According to the invention, the solution is that the plastic material is transparent and the nail is designed as an optical substrate in the form of a magnifying glass.

Durch diese Massnahmen wirkt die Oberfläche des künstlichen Nagels resp. das unterlegte Bild optisch grösser und gewinnt somit an Aussagekraft.Through these measures, the surface of the artificial nail resp. the highlighted image is optically larger and thus gains significance.

Entsprechend betrifft die vorliegende Erfindung weiter eine Verwendung des erfindungsgemässen künstlichen Nagels als Prêt-à-porter-Nagel, bei welchem eine zwischen natürlichem Nagel und künstlichem Nagel eingebrachte bildliche Darstel­lung vergrössert sichtbar ist.Accordingly, the present invention further relates to a use of the artificial nail according to the invention as a ready-to-wear nail, in which a pictorial representation inserted between the natural nail and the artificial nail is visible on an enlarged scale.

Diese bildliche Darstellung kann dann auf dem natürlichen Na­gel oder auf der Unterseite des künstlichen Nagels aufgemalt oder eine einlegbare oder aufklebbare Bildfolie, beispiels­weise eine Photographie oder dgl. sein.This pictorial representation can then be painted on the natural nail or on the underside of the artificial nail, or it can be an insertable or adhesive image film, for example a photograph or the like.

Dies erlaubt der Trägerin solcher Prêt-à-porter-Nägel eine absolut individuelle, ausgeprägte Gestaltung ihrer Hände.This allows the wearer of such ready-to-wear nails to have an absolutely individual, distinctive design of their hands.

Eine beispielsweise Ausführungsform des Erfindungsgegenstan­des ist nachfolgend anhand der Zeichnung, welche einen er­findungsgemässen künstlichen Nagel in seiner Anwendung, in Explosiv-Darstellung, teilweise im Schnitt, zeigt, näher er­ läutert.An example of an embodiment of the subject matter of the invention is described in more detail below with reference to the drawing, which shows an artificial nail according to the invention in its application, in an exploded view, partly in section purifies.

Der künstliche Nagel 1 besteht aus einem geeigneten, durch­sichtigen Kunststoff-Material, welches, wie die Schnittflä­che erkennen lässt, als optisches Substrat in Form einer Lupe ausgebildet ist. Damit erscheint auf der Oberseite des Nagels 1 eine untenseitig des Nagels befindliche bildliche Darstellung vergrössert, wie das hier der Vergleich der auf dem natürlichen Nagel 2 eines Fingers 3 aufliegenden Bild­folie 5 mit einer dargestellten Eule mit dem optischen Ab­bild der Eule auf der Oberseite des künstlichen Nagels 1, der natürlich dann auf dem natürlichen Nagel 2 aufliegt, zeigt.The artificial nail 1 consists of a suitable, transparent plastic material which, as can be seen from the cut surface, is designed as an optical substrate in the form of a magnifying glass. Thus, a pictorial representation located on the underside of the nail appears enlarged on the top of the nail 1, such as the comparison of the image film 5 lying on the natural nail 2 of a finger 3 with an illustrated owl with the optical image of the owl on the top of the artificial nail 1, which then naturally lies on the natural nail 2.

Natürlich kann auch eine Bildfolie 4 auf der Unterseite des künstlichen Nagels 1 aufgebracht sein.Of course, an image film 4 can also be applied to the underside of the artificial nail 1.

Im übrigen erfolgt Anpassung des künstlichen Nagels 1 an Form und Grösse des natürlichen Nagels 2 sowie die Verkle­bung durch flüssigen Klebstoff, Spray oder Haftstreifen in üblicher Weise.Otherwise, the artificial nail 1 is adapted to the shape and size of the natural nail 2, and the adhesive is applied in the usual manner by means of liquid adhesive, spray or adhesive strips.

Beispielsweise kann der natürliche Nagel 2 mit Klebstoff be­schichtet werden, worauf mittig des Nagels die Bildfolie 5 aufgelegt wird, um dann den künstlichen Nagel 1 auf die Bild­folie 5 und den natürlichen Nagel 2 aufzudrücken, wobei ringsum der Bildfolie 5 genügend Haftfläche besteht, um den künstlichen Nagel festzuhalten.For example, the natural nail 2 can be coated with adhesive, on which the image film 5 is placed in the center of the nail, in order to then press the artificial nail 1 onto the image film 5 and the natural nail 2, wherein around the picture film 5 there is enough adhesive surface to hold the artificial nail.

Die Bildfolie 5 kann aber auch auf ihrer Bildfläche noch mit einem transparenten Kleber versehen sein.The image film 5 can also be provided with a transparent adhesive on its image surface.

Die Möglichkeiten des Design sind im übrigen praktisch unbe­schränkt. so könnenzwischen dem natürlichen Nagel und dem lu­penförmigen künstlichen Nagel auch Relief-Folien oder -Mate­rialien, Materialien der LCD-Technik, Farbkörner für die Bil­dung einer Mikrosanduhr, Fluoreszenzfarben, Reflexionsfarben, Baukörper beispielsweise in Form von durch Lamellen-Batterien gespeiste Mikrolampen u. dgl. eingebracht werden.The possibilities of design are practically unlimited. So between the natural nail and the loupe-shaped artificial nail also relief foils or materials, materials of LCD technology, colored grains for the formation of a micro hourglass, fluorescent colors, reflection colors, structures, for example in the form of micro lamps powered by lamella batteries and the like. Like. Be introduced.

Von erheblicher Bedeutung ist zudem die Möglichkeit, den lupen­förmigen Nagel auch für sich als Leselupe oder allgemein als Vergrösserungsglas zu verwenden. Hierfür ist es zweckmässig, den künstlichen Nagel beispielsweise verschiebbar auf den natür­lichen Nagel aufzubringen.Also of considerable importance is the possibility of using the loupe-shaped nail as a reading magnifier or in general as a magnifying glass. For this purpose, it is expedient to apply the artificial nail, for example in a displaceable manner, to the natural nail.

Durch die vorbeschriebenen Massnahmen ist es nunmehr möglich, solche künstlichen Nägel als individuelles Accessoire von ausgeprägtem Charakter zu verwenden, da durch die Vergrösse­rungswirkung eine grosse Erkennbarkeit der bildlichen Dar­stellungen erreicht werden kann.Thanks to the measures described above, it is now possible to use such artificial nails as an individual accessory with a distinctive character, since the enlargement effect makes the visual representations more recognizable.
