Benefits of technology

The invention provides an artificial finger and a fake nail preparation tool that can be used for practicing manicure procedures and preparing actual fake nails. The artificial finger is designed to mimic a human finger, allowing for realistic practice with a fake nail attached. The tool includes a base plate to which the artificial finger is attached, freeing up both hands for the practice. The artificial finger is small and not bulky, making it convenient for practice and preparing fake nails that can be easily worn on fingers. The invention has simple structures, low production costs, and minimal space requirements.

Problems solved by technology

However, since the configuration disclosed in JP-A-2000-333731 employs the full-scale hand model provided with the hand model that is rotatably coupled to one end of a supporting arm formed of a flexible tube, and a clamp at the other end of the supporting arm so as to allow fixation to the desk, a practice tool that is bulky as a whole and requiring high production costs may result even though the user may have a real feeling of practicing.
In the configuration disclosed in JP-A-2004-313634, since the holder of the fake nail does not have a finger shape, the user can hardly have a real feeling of practicing, and thus the tool is less effective as a learning tool.
The configuration disclosed in JP-A-2006-320451 has a complex structure in which joints are bendable and rotatable, and thus high production costs may result.
However, the practice tool which is bulky as a whole and requiring high production costs may result.
Therefore, the practice tool is bulky as a whole and requires high production costs because of a complex structure even though the user may have a real feeling of practicing.
However, the fake nail technique practice tool itself does not have a configuration to be attached to the base plate or the like.
Therefore, if the user hold the fake nail technique practice tool by one hand, both hands cannot be used for performing the fake nail technique practice, which is inconvenient.
The configuration disclosed in Japanese Utility Model No. 3185307 is not configured to allow the user to perform the fake nail preparation practice by itself, and the fake nail preparation practice cannot be performed unless the dummy hand or foot is fixed to one of the clips.
Accordingly, in order to perform the fake nail preparation practice, the fake nail preparation practice stand and the dummy hand or foot are necessary, and the practice tool which is bulky as a whole may result.

example 1

[0041]In FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, reference sign A denotes an artificial finger according to Example 1. The artificial finger A has a shape imitating a human finger and including only a part from a proximal finger portion 10 to a fingertip portion 20. In order to provide the proximal finger portion 10 of the artificial finger A with a detachably attachable structure with respect to a base plate B described later, a substance having a magnetic force, for example, a magnet 11 is integrated in the proximal finger portion 10. Reference sign C in the drawings denotes a fake nail before preparation.

[0042]The fingertip portion 20 is provided with a depressed portion 21 for allowing adhesion of the fake nail C on one of surfaces, that is, on a surface to which the fake nail C is to be adhered, and a projecting portion corresponding to a rib 22 extending in a fingertip direction is formed in the depressed portion 21. The rib 22 is formed so as to protrude slightly beyond an extremity of the finger...

first modification

[0047]FIG. 4 is a first modification of the projecting portion formed on the fingertip portion 20 of the artificial finger A described in Example 1.

[0048]In other words, in the first modification, a depressed portion 121 on a fingertip portion 120 of an artificial finger 100A is provided with projecting portions by providing two rows of ribs 122 extending in a finger width direction. Other configurations are the same as Example 1. The number of rows of the ribs 122 is not limited to two rows as a matter of course.

[0049]With the configuration described above, since the adhered surface area between the top portion of the rib 122 and the fake nail C is increased, the fake nail C is stabilized at the time of preparation such as a practice without moving. In addition, since the back surface of the fake nail C is not entirely adhered to the fingertip portion 120, the easy-to-remove properties of the fake nail C with respect to the fingertip portion 120 is achieved.

second modification

[0050]FIG. 5 is a second modification of the projecting portion formed on the fingertip portion 20 of the artificial finger A described in Example 1.

[0051]In other words, in the second modification a plurality of projections 222 are scattered to form the projecting portion in a depressed portion 221 of a fingertip portion 220 of an artificial finger 200A. Other configurations are the same as Example 1. The arrangement of the projections 222 is not limited to that illustrated as a matter of course.

[0052]With the configuration described above, the fake nail C is adhered by point contact at a plurality of locations, and thus adhesion stability of the fake nail C is improved. In addition, since the back surface of the fake nail C is not entirely adhered to the fingertip portion 220, the easy-to-remove properties of the fake nail C with respect to the fingertip portion 220 are maintained.

Abstract

The invention provides an artificial finger for fake nail preparation having a simple structure, requiring low production costs, easy to handle, and requiring less space because of its minimum size, and a fake nail preparation tool including the artificial finger and a base plate. An artificial finger for fake nail preparation of the invention is an artificial finger having a shape imitating a human finger including only a part from a proximal finger portion to a fingertip portion and the artificial finger has a detachably attachable structure at the proximal finger portion thereof with respect to an inclined portion of a base plate by a magnet.
