Nailz Off Pro

Abstract

The present invention relates generally to a system of delivering a solvent to the nail for the removal of polish, gel nails, gel polish, soak-off gel nails, soak-off gel polish or acrylic nails existing on the nail. The system may also be used for the delivery a multitude of substances such as oils, moisturizers, or medicines to the nail or fingertip of a user. The present invention employs the use of a synthetic cap to cover the fingertip to the middle phalanx, or the toe to ensure a substantially air-tight environment for effective delivery of solvents, oils, moisturizers, or medicines. The cap is hypoallergenic, multi-use and can be easily used by a single user (i.e., placing the caps on one hand and also the other).

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a simple and user-friendly system for effectively cleaning nails using a solvent called acetone. The system includes a cap that is placed over the nail and creates a tight seal with the nail, preventing air from escaping. This heat from the digit is trapped inside the cap, helping to remove polish, gel nails, or acrylic nails. The cap is made from a synthetic material that is hypoallergenic, which means it's less likely to cause allergic reactions. The Nailz Off Pro system is easy to use and can be employed by a single user or another person.

Problems solved by technology

The problem is that the options for the removal of those artificial nails and polishes are limited.

The products currently available are either extremely difficult to do by yourself or they are very messy, time-consuming, and expensive.

Otherwise, one can use a difficult wrap system, which is very hard to use by yourself and expensive since they are disposable after one use.

While a user can easily manipulate and accomplish this on the first hand, it is then very difficult to sufficiently wrap the second without assistance.

This leaves the user with a very unsatisfactory result and may lead to increased exposure to the acetone to remove all of the polish.

Thus, if the foils of current systems are not tight, effective removal cannot be accomplished.

Moreover, while acetone is only regarded as slightly toxic, prolonged exposure and inhalation of fumes can cause irritation.

For example, it is common for the nails of the hand or foot to become infected with fungus.

Treatment to remove the fungus can be painful and very long in duration.

While, previous patents describe the use of a cap to prevent ultraviolet light from penetrating the nail (U.S. Pat. No. 6,990,985), and allow for a compressible opening (U.S. Pat. No. 496,610), no method currently exists to provide a clean, simple, and cost-effective solution to the delivery of a multitude of substances (solvents, oils, moisturizers, medicines) to the nail, fingertip or toe in a substantially air-tight environment around the nail.

Other patents provide complex apparatus to enclose parts of the finger and tip to apply solvent (see U.S. Pat. No. 6,998,502), but their structure does not provide a secure air-tight environment between the substance and the nail, and would be cumbersome, if not impossible for a single user to employ.

Moreover, the prior art do not allow for the treatment of the cuticle, nail bed, or tip of the finger or toe.
