Method for manufacturing artificial nail

Abstract

Disclosed is a method for manufacturing an artificial nail. In the method for manufacturing an artificial nail according to the present invention, a flat sheet is molded to have a plurality of artificial nails by means of vacuum molding and is then cut into individual artificial nails by means of press cutting. According to the present invention, a plurality of artificial nails can be manufactured through a single molding operation so that artificial nails can be mass-produced. Further, the present invention provides a method for manufacturing an artificial nail, wherein patterns can be variously and delicately printed on the artificial nails and the artificial nails can be made of a variety of materials including PET resin as well as ABS resin.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing an artificial nail, and more particularly, to a method for manufacturing an artificial nail by means of vacuum molding. [0003] 2. Description of the Background Art [0004] Most women apply make-up for beauty and also manicure their nails. However, the operation of manicuring one's nail is very cumbersome and there is inconvenience in that it takes a great deal of time until the manicure is hardened. To solve such cumbersomeness and inconvenience, there has been developed an artificial nail. An artificial nail is fixedly bonded to the surface of a nail using double-sided tape, instant adhesive, or the like. Such an artificial nail has a variety of patterns and colors and can be replaced with another artificial nail at any time according to the user's taste, thereby reducing time required for a nail beauty operation. [0005] Generally, such an artificial nail i...

Benefits of technology

[0010] Accordingly, the present invention is conceived to solve the aforementioned problems in the prior art. An object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing an artificial nail, wherein the artificial nail can be rapidly mass-produced without increase in production costs.

[0011] Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing an artificial nail, wherein the surface of the artificial nail can be decorated variously and delicately.

[0013] A still further object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing an artificial nail that is not harmful to the user's skin and can be quickly and conveniently removed upon removal of the artificial nail from a user's natural nail.

Problems solved by technology

However, the operation of manicuring one's nail is very cumbersome and there is inconvenience in that it takes a great deal of time until the manicure is hardened.

Since the artificial nail is manufactured through injection molding in the conventional method for manufacturing the artificial nail, a limitation exists on the number of cavities in the injection molds, and thus, there is a problem in that the yield of artificial nails which can be produced at one time is lowered.

When the surface of an artificial nail is decorated after the artificial nail has been molded, a printing method applicable thereto is limited to the spray printing or the curved surface printing.

Therefore, there is a disadvantage in that delicate patterns cannot be printed.

Further, since the artificial nail is manufactured by means of injection molding, there is a problem in that the artificial nail cannot be manufactured from materials other than ABS resin.

Thus, there is a disadvantage in that it takes a great deal of time to remove the artificial nail.

Moreover, since the user's finger should be dipped into acetone for a long time, there is a disadvantage in that the user's skin may become damaged.
