[0068] Figure 1 This application shows a three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of an ingrown toenail corrector provided in some embodiments; Figure 2 It shows Figure 1 The diagram shows a top cross-sectional view of the ingrown toenail corrector; for ease of explanation, only the content relevant to the embodiments of this application is shown.

[0069] Please refer to Figures 1 to 2This application provides an ingrown toenail corrector 100, including two mounting members 110, a telescopic member 120, and an elastic component 130. In this application embodiment, the length direction of the mounting member 110 is a first direction F1, the width direction of the mounting member 110 is a second direction F2, and the height direction of the mounting member 110 is a third direction F3. The width direction and the length direction are not necessarily that the width is less than the length, and they can also be equal. The first direction F1, the second direction F2, and the third direction F3 are described exemplarily with reference to each other.

[0070] Both mounting pieces 110 are used to adhere to the surface of human fingernails, which may include fingernails and toenails. The mounting pieces 110 can be adhered to the fingernails by applying adhesive, using double-sided tape, or having both mounting pieces 110 with a certain degree of adhesiveness on their surfaces. Of course, other methods are also possible, and the specific method can be chosen according to actual usage requirements; no specific limitations are imposed here. In this embodiment, both mounting pieces 110 have a certain degree of adhesiveness, which facilitates user operation.

[0071] The two mounting pieces 110 may have the same or different shapes. For example, with... Figure 1 For example, the mounting pieces 110 are generally block-shaped, which allows for a certain bonding area between them. This not only facilitates the adhesion of the two mounting pieces 110 to the nail, reducing the risk of damage to the surrounding soft tissue and improving user comfort, but also ensures a certain adhesive force between the mounting pieces 110 and the nail, thus improving the bonding strength. The shape and size of the two mounting pieces 110 can be set according to actual usage needs and are not specifically limited here.

[0072] The telescopic member 120 connects the two mounting members 110. The telescopic member 120 can extend and retract in response to a force applied along its extension direction. The user can apply appropriate tension to lengthen the telescopic member 120, thereby increasing the distance L between the two mounting members 110. This allows it to accommodate nails of different sizes and more accurately adhere to the area to be corrected on the nail surface. When the two mounting members 110 are adhered to the area to be corrected on the nail, the telescopic member 120, being in an extended state, needs to return to its original state. It can retract in the opposite direction of extension, generating a contraction force. This contraction force acts on the area to be corrected on the nail surface, potentially pulling out nails embedded in soft tissue, and the contraction force can continue to exert its effect.

[0073] The elastic component 130 is a component with a certain degree of elasticity. Specifically, the telescopic member 120 has a cavity Q. The elastic component 130 includes two elastic members 130a. One end of one elastic member 130a is connected to one of the mounting members 110, and the other end passes through the cavity Q; one end of the other elastic member 130a is connected to another mounting member 110, and the other end passes through the cavity Q.

[0074] The cavity Q provides space for the installation and movement of the elastic element 130a in the elastic component 130. The shape of the cavity Q can be cylindrical or other shapes, depending on the actual situation, and is not specifically limited here. The inner diameter of the cavity Q can be set according to the outer diameter of the elastic element 130a, etc. If the inner diameter of the cavity Q is too large, the telescopic component 120 may become too bulky, affecting the comfort and aesthetics of the ingrown nail corrector 100; while if the inner diameter of the cavity Q is too small, it may restrict the movement space of the elastic element 130a within the cavity Q, thus affecting the elastic force of the elastic element 130a. Similarly, the length of the cavity Q also needs to be set in relation to the length of the elastic element 130a so that the elastic element 130a can slide within the cavity Q during the extension of the telescopic component 120, thereby adjusting the distance L between the two mounting components 110. When the user applies external force to the mounting component 110, the telescopic component 120 extends while the elastic element 130a slides within the cavity Q.

[0075] It should be noted that the elastic component 130 can be longitudinally elongated or sheet-like. Therefore, the material of the elastic component 130 can be nickel-titanium alloy, stainless steel, etc., and can be set according to actual needs, without specific restrictions here.

[0076] Specifically, the resilient component 130 can be a component composed of multiple parts. For example, with... Figure 1 and Figure 2 For example, the illustration shows the case where the elastic component 130 includes two parts (two elastic elements 130a). Of course, the elastic component 130 may also include three parts (three elastic elements 130a) or other numbers of parts, which can be set according to the actual situation, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0077] When attaching the mounting piece 110 to a human nail, the position between the two mounting pieces 110 can be adjusted using methods including, but not limited to, those illustrated below. The adjustment methods can be: Scenario 1: First, adjust the position between the two mounting pieces 110 according to the size of the nail to be attached; Scenario 2: First, install one mounting piece 110, then adjust the position of the other mounting piece 110 relative to the first mounting piece 110. Taking Scenario 1 as an example, for the two adjusted mounting pieces 110, when the user attaches the two mounting pieces 110 to the area of ​​the nail to be corrected, due to the certain curvature and width of the nail surface, the telescopic piece 120 will contract, and the elastic piece 130a will deform. When the telescopic component 120 contracts and the elastic component 130a deforms, both components need to return to their original states. This generates a contractile force to restore the telescopic component 120 to its original state and an elastic force to restore the elastic component 130a to its original state. The mounting components 110 located on both sides of the nail are subjected to these contractile and elastic forces, exerting a pulling force on the nail embedded in the soft tissue. After a period of time, the nail embedded in the soft tissue is pulled out. During this process, the nail surface may flatten, potentially weakening the elastic force of the elastic component 130a. However, since the contractile force of the telescopic component 120 is less affected, it can continue to act on the nail surface at the point of correction, thus improving the effectiveness of ingrown toenail correction. Simultaneously, for toenails, during walking, when the foot contacts the ground, the two mounting components 110 attached to the toenail generate an upward force perpendicular to the ground, which can more effectively pull out the nail embedded in the soft tissue of the foot, further improving the effectiveness of ingrown toenail correction.

[0078] In this embodiment, the initial distance between the two mounting pieces 110 before adjustment can be less than the width of a human fingernail. That is, the initial state of the telescopic member 120 connecting the two mounting pieces 110 can be either in a natural state or a stretched state. Thus, when the user stretches the telescopic member 120 to adjust the distance between the two mounting pieces 110, the telescopic member 120 can be in a stretched state or a further stretched state. When the two mounting pieces 110 are attached to the area of ​​the nail to be corrected, the telescopic member 120 will return to its original state, generating a contractile force acting on the area of ​​the nail to be corrected, which is beneficial for the ingrown toenail correction effect. Furthermore, when the initial state of the telescopic member 120 is in a natural state, it allows for a more stable connection between the telescopic member 120 and the mounting pieces 110, making it easier for the user to adjust the distance L between the two mounting pieces 110 by stretching the telescopic member 120.

[0079] It should be noted that the telescopic member 120 located between the two mounting members 110 can have a gap with the surface of the nail or it can be in contact with the surface of the nail. In the case where the telescopic member 120 is in contact with the surface of the nail, the user extends the telescopic member 120 along the curvature of the nail surface. Simultaneously, the elastic member 130a within the cavity Q of the telescopic member 120 deforms along the curvature of the nail. Because the nail has a curvature, there will be a highest point on the nail surface. The telescopic member 120 and the elastic member 130a within the cavity Q of the telescopic member 120 can use this highest point as a support point to apply a pulling force to the nails embedded in the soft tissue on both sides, thus increasing the pulling force on the nails embedded in the soft tissue. Therefore, the case where the telescopic member 120 is in contact with the surface of the nail is more conducive to the correction of ingrown toenails.

[0080] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The ingrown nail corrector 100 also includes two fasteners 140, which are fixedly connected to the two mounting parts 110 in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0081] The fastener 140 refers to the component used to secure the elastic member 130a and the telescopic member 120. Specifically, the fastener 140 has two first engaging portions 141. The elastic member 130a is connected to one end of the corresponding mounting member 110 and engages with one of the first engaging portions 141 of the fastener 140, which is fixedly connected to the mounting member 110. The telescopic member 120 is connected to one end of the corresponding mounting member 110 and engages with the other first engaging portion 141 of the fastener 140, which is fixedly connected to the mounting member 110.

[0082] In this way, the fasteners 140 and mounting members 110 are fixedly connected one-to-one, making the connection between the elastic member 130a and the telescopic member 140 and the mounting member 110 more secure. The two first snap-fit ​​portions 141 on the fastener 140 are used to snap the elastic member 130a and the telescopic member 120, making it less likely for the elastic member 130a and the telescopic member 120 to fall off the mounting member 110. The first snap-fit ​​portions 141 of the fastener 140 can further enhance the reliability of the connection.

[0083] Figure 3 It shows Figure 1 The diagram shown is an exploded view of the ingrown toenail corrector. Figure 4 It shows Figure 3 The diagram shows a partially enlarged structural schematic of part A of the ingrown toenail corrector; for ease of explanation, only the content related to the embodiments of this application is shown.

[0084] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 and in conjunction with references Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first latching part 141 is configured as a first latch 141a.

[0085] Specifically, the shape and size of the first latch 141a can be set according to the ends of the elastic member 130a and the telescopic member 120, respectively, so that the elastic member 130a and the telescopic member 120 will not easily fall off the fixing member 140 after engagement. The first latch 141a can be a through hole or a notch, etc., and can be set according to the actual situation, without specific limitations. When the ends of the elastic member 130a and the telescopic member 120 are respectively engaged in the first latch 141a, the two first latches 141a can make the ends of the elastic member 130a and the ends of the telescopic member 120 more tightly engaged on the fixing member 140. In addition, the ends of the elastic member 130a and the ends of the telescopic member 120 can also be engaged together in the same first latch 141a, which can be set according to the actual situation, without specific limitations.

[0086] In this way, by constructing the first snap-fit ​​portion 141 as the first snap-fit ​​opening 141a, the connection between the elastic member 130a and the fixed member 140, as well as the connection between the telescopic member 120 and the fixed member 140, can be made tighter.

[0087] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The first bayonet 141a passes through the edge of the fixing member 140.

[0088] The first notch 141a can be constructed as a notch or other forms through the edge of the fastener 140, without specific limitations. For example, using... Figure 4 For example, the first notch 141a is constructed as a notch, and the fastener 140 is roughly a rectangular frame that is hollow. For production, the first notch 141a penetrates the edge of the fastener 140, making it easier to insert the ends of the elastic member 130a and the telescopic member 120 into the two first notches 141a from the edge of the fastener 140, without the need for complicated operating steps and tools, thus improving production efficiency.

[0089] In this way, by passing through the edge of the fixing member 140 through the first slot 141a, the end of the elastic member 130a and the end of the telescopic member 120 can be more easily inserted into the two first slots 141a during the production process, thereby improving the production efficiency of the ingrown nail corrector 100.

[0090] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The mounting component 110 has a mounting side a for mounting on a nail, and an operating side c disposed opposite to the mounting side a.

[0091] The mounting side 'a' refers to the side where the mounting piece 100 is adhered to the nail surface at the area to be corrected. The operating side 'c' refers to the side opposite to the mounting side 'a', allowing the user to easily operate the two mounting pieces 110. Specifically, the first latch 141a extends through the edge of the fixing piece 140 along the direction from the mounting side 'a' to the operating side 'c', making it easier and smoother for the ends of the elastic piece 130a and the telescopic piece 120 to engage with the first latch 141a and connect with the fixing piece 140.

[0092] In this way, by passing through the edge of the fixing member 140 in the direction from the mounting side a to the operating side c via the first bayonet 141a, the ends of the elastic member 130a and the telescopic member 120 can be respectively engaged with the fixing member 140 in the direction from the mounting side a to the operating side c, thereby further improving the convenience of engaging the ends of the elastic member 130a with the fixing member 140 and the convenience of engaging the ends of the telescopic member 120 with the fixing member 140.

[0093] Figure 5 An exploded structural diagram of an ingrown toenail corrector according to other embodiments of this application is shown; Figure 6 It shows Figure 5 The diagram shows a top view of the cross-sectional structure of the ingrown toenail corrector; Figure 7 It shows Figure 5 The diagram shows a partially enlarged structural schematic of part B of the ingrown toenail corrector; for ease of explanation, only the content related to the embodiments of this application is shown.

[0094] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and in conjunction with references Figures 5 to 7 The fastener 140 has a receiving cavity R that extends along the first direction F1.

[0095] Specifically, the first notch 141a communicates with the receiving cavity R and extends through the edge of the fixing member 140 along the first direction F1. Here, the first direction F1 is the length direction of the mounting member 110. The receiving cavity R can be cylindrical, cuboid, or other shapes, and can be configured according to actual conditions; no specific limitations are imposed here. For example, using... Figure 7 For example, the illustration shows that the receiving cavity R is cylindrical and the fixing member 140 is roughly cylindrical. The first latch 141a is connected to the receiving cavity R so that after the ends of the elastic member 130a and the telescopic member 120 are engaged with the two first latches 141a, a portion of the end of the elastic member 130a and a portion of the end of the telescopic member 120 can enter the receiving cavity R through the two first latches 141a respectively.

[0096] The first latch 141a communicates with the receiving cavity R and extends along the first direction F1 through the edge of the fixing member 140. The ends of the elastic member 130a and the telescopic member 120 can respectively engage with the two first latches 141a along the first direction F1 from the edge of the fixing member 140, further improving the ease of operation. The communication between the first latch 141a and the receiving cavity R, and its extension along the first direction F1 through the edge of the fixing member 140, makes the connection between the end of the elastic member 130a and the fixing member 140, as well as the connection between the end of the telescopic member 120 and the fixing member 140, more stable and reliable. In addition, the ends of the elastic member 130a and the telescopic member 120 can also engage with the same first latch 141a along the first direction F1 from the edge of the fixing member 140, which can be set according to the actual situation and is not specifically limited here.

[0097] In this way, by connecting the first latch 141a with the receiving cavity R and penetrating the edge of the fixing member 140 along the first direction F1, the ease of operation of the end of the elastic member 130a engaging one of the first latches 141a and the end of the telescopic member 120 engaging the other of the first latches 141a can be improved. It can also make the connection between the end of the elastic member 130a and the fixing member 140 more stable and the connection between the end of the telescopic member 120 and the fixing member 140 more stable.

[0098] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 , Figures 5 to 7 The fastener 140 has a stop portion D located between the two first bayonets 141a.

[0099] Specifically, the telescopic member 120 has a first bent portion w1 at one end that engages with the first latch 141a, and the first bent portion w1 is accommodated in the corresponding receiving cavity R. The elastic member 130a has a second bent portion w2 at one end that engages with the first latch 141a, and the second bent portion w2 is accommodated in the corresponding receiving cavity R. The first bent portion w1 and the second bent portion w2, which are accommodated in the same receiving cavity R, are stopped and limited within the receiving cavity Q by means of the abutment portion D.

[0100] The size of the abutment D can be determined based on the overall size of the fixing member 140, the size of the receiving cavity R, and the extension length of the components to be abutted (the first bent part w1 and the second bent part w2). It can be set according to actual conditions and is not specifically limited here. The main function of the abutment D is to limit the position of the first bent part w1 and the second bent part w2 within the receiving cavity R. When the telescopic member 120 and the elastic member 130a insert the first bent part w1 and the second bent part w2 into the receiving cavity R through the first latch 141a, the abutment D makes the first bent part w1 and the second bent part w2 more stable within the receiving cavity R. By abutting the first bent part w1 and the second bent part w2 with the abutment D, the stability and reliability of the connection between the telescopic member 120 and the fixing member 140, as well as the stability and reliability of the connection between the elastic member 130a and the fixing member 140, are enhanced.

[0101] The shapes of the first bend w1 and the second bend w2 can be set according to the shape and size of the receiving cavity R and the connection method with the first bayonet 141a. The first bend w1 and the second bend w2 can be bent at approximately a right angle, or at other angles, depending on the actual situation, and no specific limitation is made here. For example, with Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 For example, the diagram illustrates the case where the first bend w1 and the second bend w2 are bent at right angles. The right-angle bends of the first bend w1 and the second bend w2 allow for better fit with the receiving cavity R. Specifically, the inner diameter of the receiving cavity R can be set according to the dimensions of the first bend w1 and the second bend w2, so that the first bend w1 and the second bend w2 can be better accommodated within the receiving cavity R. If the dimensions of the first bend w1 and the second bend w2 are too large, they may be obstructed when inserted into the receiving cavity R; if the dimensions of the first bend w1 and the second bend w2 are too small, they may not be able to effectively fit with the abutment D, resulting in poor limiting effect.

[0102] In this way, the cooperation between the abutment part D and the first bending part w1 and the second bending part w2 can further enhance the stability and reliability of the connection between the telescopic member 120 and the fixed member 140, as well as the stability and reliability of the connection between the elastic member 130a and the fixed member 140. By placing the first bending part w1 and the second bending part w2 within the receiving cavity R and using the abutment part D for limiting, the connection between the telescopic member 120 and the elastic member 130a on the fixed member 140 can be made more secure, and it is less likely to loosen, fall off, or shift.

[0103] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 , Figures 5 to 7When the extension direction of the telescopic member 120 that is engaged with the first latch 141a is perpendicular to the extension direction of the first bent portion w1 that is engaged with the first latch 141a, the telescopic member 120 can be tightly fitted with the fixing member 140, thereby making the telescopic member 120 more firmly engaged with one of the first latches 141a and less likely to fall off the fixing member 140, and also allowing the first bent portion w1 to be better accommodated in the receiving cavity R.

[0104] When the extension direction of the end of the elastic member 130a that is engaged with the first latch 141a is perpendicular to the extension direction of the second bent portion w2 located at the end of the elastic member 131a that is engaged with the first latch 141a, the elastic member 130a can be tightly fitted with the fixing member 140, thereby making the elastic member 130a more firmly engaged with the other first latch 141a and less likely to fall out of the fixing member 140, and also allowing the second bent portion w2 to be better accommodated in the receiving cavity R.

[0105] For example, with Figure 5 and Figure 7 For example, it is illustrated that the extension direction of the end of the telescopic member 120 that is engaged with the first latch 141a is perpendicular to the extension direction of the first bent portion w1 provided at the end of the telescopic member 120 that is engaged with the first latch 141a, and the extension direction of the end of the elastic member 130a that is engaged with the first latch 141a is perpendicular to the extension direction of the second bent portion w2 provided at the end of the elastic member 131a that is engaged with the first latch 141a.

[0106] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 , Figures 5 to 7 For the first bent portion w1 and the second bent portion w2, which are housed in the same receiving cavity R, the first bent portion w1 abuts against the blocking portion D, and the second bent portion w2 abuts against the first bent portion w1.

[0107] Specifically, the first bent portion w1 contacts the abutment portion D. The abutment portion D, as a blocking structure of the fixing member 140, provides a limiting function for the first bent portion w1. The first bent portion w1 can be closely close to the side surface of the abutment portion D near the receiving cavity R. The second bent portion w2 abuts against the other side of the first bent portion w1, forming a sequential abutment relationship. This allows the first bent portion w1 and the second bent portion w2 to have a relatively clear positional relationship within the receiving cavity R. The first bent portion w1, the second bent portion w2, and the abutment portion D support and restrict each other, improving the stability of the first bent portion w1 and the second bent portion w2 within the receiving cavity R. Alternatively, the second bent portion w2 abuts against the abutment portion D, and the first bent portion w1 abuts against the second bent portion w2, similar to the aforementioned case where the first bent portion w1 abuts against the abutment portion D and the second bent portion w2 abuts against the first bent portion w1, which will not be described again here. For example, with Figures 5 to 7 For example, it is shown that the first bend w1 abuts against the blocking part D, and the second bend w2 abuts against the first bend w1.

[0108] Since the mounting part 110 is attached to the area of ​​the nail to be corrected, and the surface area of ​​the nail is relatively small, the size of the mounting part 110 is also relatively small. The first bent portion w1 abuts against the blocking portion D, and the second bent portion w2 abuts against the first bent portion w1; or, the second bent portion w2 abuts against the blocking portion D, and the first bent portion w1 abuts against the second bent portion w2. This allows for a closer and more reasonable positional relationship between the first bent portion w1 and the second bent portion w2, enabling the mounting part 110 to be smaller and thinner. This reduces the risk of the mounting part 110 becoming too large due to improper positioning of the first bent portion w1 and the second bent portion w2, which could scratch the soft tissue on both sides of the nail or socks when the mounting part 110 is attached to the area of ​​the nail to be corrected.

[0109] In this way, through the mutual abutment of the first bent portion w1 and the second bent portion w2, as well as their abutment against the blocking portion D, a more compact and reasonable spatial structure can be formed. This allows the first bent portion w1 and the second bent portion w2 to be more stably housed within the receiving cavity R, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the connection between the telescopic member 120 and the fixing member 140, as well as the connection between the elastic member 130a and the fixing member 140. Simultaneously, the arrangement of the first bent portion w1 and the second bent portion w2 also makes them more compact and reasonable. When the mounting member 110 is attached to the area of ​​the nail to be corrected, the risk of the mounting member 110 becoming too large due to improper positioning of the first bent portion w1 and the second bent portion w2, potentially scratching the soft tissue on both sides of the nail or socks, is reduced.

[0110] Figure 8 An exploded structural diagram of an ingrown toenail corrector according to some embodiments of this application is shown; Figure 9 It shows Figure 8 The diagram shown is a top view cross-sectional view of the ingrown toenail corrector. Figure 10 It shows Figure 8 The diagram shows a partially enlarged structural schematic of point C of the ingrown toenail corrector; for ease of explanation, only the content related to the embodiments of this application is shown.

[0111] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and in conjunction with references Figures 8 to 10 The first snap-fit ​​part 141 is constructed as a bent structure z, and the first snap-fit ​​part 141 is bent to define the snap-fit ​​space.

[0112] Specifically, the bending angles of the bending structures z of the two first snap-fit ​​portions 141 can be set according to the dimensions of the ends of the telescopic member 120 and the elastic member 130a, respectively, without specific limitations. Similarly, the bending of the two first snap-fit ​​portions 141 defines two snap-fit ​​spaces, and the dimensions of the two snap-fit ​​spaces can also be set according to the dimensions of the ends of the elastic member 130a and the telescopic member 120, respectively, without specific limitations. In this way, the ends of the elastic member 130a and the ends of the telescopic member 120 can be snapped more tightly.

[0113] The clamping space defined by the bending structure z offers a degree of flexibility, accommodating elastic components 130a and telescopic components 120 of different sizes and shapes. Because the bending structure z can adjust the bending angle, position, and the size and shape of the clamping space to meet the clamping requirements of the elastic components 130a and telescopic components 120, it also possesses high versatility in the production process.

[0114] Thus, by constructing a bent structure z with the first snap-fit ​​portion 141, the first snap-fit ​​portion 141 bends to define a snap-fit ​​space, which can more firmly snap the ends of the elastic member 130a and the telescopic member 120. After the ends of the elastic member 130a and the telescopic member 120 are respectively snapped into the snap-fit ​​space, the two bent structures z can form a tight fit between the ends of the elastic member 130a and the ends of the telescopic member 120 from multiple directions. Compared with the traditional simple snap-fit ​​method, this snap-fit ​​method further increases the friction between the ends of the elastic member 130a and the fixing member 140 and the friction between the ends of the telescopic member 120 and the fixing member 140, making it less likely for the ends of the elastic member 130a and the ends of the telescopic member 120 to loosen or fall off after snapping.

[0115] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 ,as well as Figures 8 to 10 The telescopic member 120 has a third bending part w3 at one end that is engaged with the first latch 141a, and the elastic member 130a has a fourth bending part w4 at one end that is engaged with the first latch 141a.

[0116] Specifically, the third bend w3 and the fourth bend w4 can be bends at right angles or other angles, and can be set according to the actual situation; no specific restrictions are imposed here. For example, using... Figures 1 to 4 , Figures 8 to 10 For example, it illustrates the situation where the third bend w3 and the fourth bend w4 are bent at a right angle.

[0117] The fastener 140 also has two second snap-fit ​​portions 142. Specifically, one of the second snap-fit ​​portions 142 is provided on the extension path of the corresponding third bend portion w3 and snaps into the third bend portion w3; the other second snap-fit ​​portion 142 is provided on the extension path of the corresponding fourth bend portion w4 and snaps into the fourth bend portion w4.

[0118] The dimensions and shapes of the two second snap-fit ​​portions 142 can be matched with the dimensions and shapes of the third bend portion w3 and the fourth bend portion w4, respectively, to improve the tightness and stability of the snap-fit. This can be configured according to actual conditions, and no specific limitations are imposed here.

[0119] Thus, the engagement of the third bend w3 with one of the second latching parts 142 and the engagement of the fourth bend w4 with the other second latching part 142 further improves the connection stability and reliability between the telescopic member 120 and the fixed member 140, as well as between the elastic member 130a and the fixed member 140. When adjusting the distance L between the two mounting members 110, the telescopic member 120 and the elastic member 130a move along the second direction F2. The engagement of the third bend w3 with one of the second latching parts 142 along the first direction F1 and the engagement of the fourth bend w4 with the other second latching part 142 along the first direction F1 reduces the risk of the telescopic member 120 and the elastic member 130a falling off the fixed member 140, thereby reducing the risk of the telescopic member 120 and the elastic member 130a falling off the mounting member 110 due to improper operation.

[0120] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , Figures 8 to 10 The second latching part 142 is configured as a second latch 142a.

[0121] In the case where the second latch 142a is a through hole k, the shape of the through hole k can be circular, square, or elliptical. Of course, other shapes are also possible. No specific limitations are imposed here. The inner diameter of the through hole k can be slightly larger than the outer diameters of the third bend w3 and the fourth bend w4. This is as long as the third bend w3 and the fourth bend w4 can pass through the through hole k. Here, "slightly larger" means that the through hole k and the third bend w3 and the fourth bend w4 are not tightly fitted; rather, the inner diameter of the through hole k is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the third bend w3 and the fourth bend w4, but large enough to allow the third bend w3 and the fourth bend w4 to pass through the gap in the through hole k. This allows the third bend w3 and the fourth bend w4 to pass through the through hole k more effectively, thus better engaging the telescopic member 120 and the elastic member 130a. The specific gap can be set according to the actual situation and is not specifically limited here. For example, using... Figure 10 For example, the second bayonet 142a is shown as a through hole k.

[0122] The second bayonet 142a is constructed with a through hole k, which can provide a more stable engagement position for the third bend w3 and the fourth bend w4. When the third bend w3 and the fourth bend w4 are engaged in the through hole k, the through hole k can engage the third bend w3 and the fourth bend w4 from all sides, thereby achieving a more stable connection.

[0123] Alternatively, if the second latch 142a penetrates the edge of the fastener 140, the edge of the fastener 140 forms an open latching channel. The second latch 142a can be constructed approximately as a notch, allowing the third bend w3 and the fourth bend w4 to directly engage with the two second latches 142a from the edge of the fastener 140, without having to pass through the fastener 140. For example, with... Figure 4 For example, the second latch 142a is shown to pass through the edge of the fastener 140. Furthermore, the third bend w3 and the fourth bend w4 can also be engaged with the same second latch 142a from the edge of the fastener 140. This can be configured according to the actual situation, and no specific restrictions are imposed here.

[0124] The shape and size of the second latch 142a can be set according to the shape and size of the third bend w3 and the fourth bend w4, so as to better engage the third bend w3 and the fourth bend w4 with the second latch 142a and reduce the risk of the third bend w3 and the fourth bend w4 coming off the second latch 142a. In addition, the third bend w3 and the fourth bend w4 respectively engage with the two second latches 142a from the edge of the fastener 140, which will not occupy too much volume of the fastener 140, and can make the layout of the telescopic member 120 and the elastic member 130a on the fastener 140 more compact, so that the size of the mounting member 110 is smaller.

[0125] Furthermore, during the production process, the two second bayonets 142a penetrating the edges of the fastener 140 make the installation of the third bend w3 and the fourth bend w4 more convenient. Production personnel can directly insert the third bend w3 and the fourth bend w4 into the two second bayonets 142a from the edges of the fastener 140, further saving installation time and improving production efficiency.

[0126] Thus, by using the two second latches 142a as through holes k, the third bend w3 and the fourth bend w4 can be fully engaged. After the third bend w3 and the fourth bend w4 are engaged in the two through holes k, they are less likely to loosen or come out of the fixing member 140, thereby reducing the risk of them coming out of the mounting member 110. Alternatively, by having the second latches 142a penetrate the edge of the fixing member 140, the risk of the third bend w3 and the fourth bend w4 coming out of the fixing member 140 can be reduced, thereby reducing the risk of them coming out of the mounting member 110. This also facilitates installation during the production process and improves production efficiency.

[0127] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 8 to 10 The second snap-fit ​​part 142 is constructed as a bent structure z, and the second snap-fit ​​part 142 is provided with a second snap-fit ​​opening 142a.

[0128] Specifically, the bending structure z can be bent at a right angle, or at other angles. The specific bending angle can be set according to the actual situation and is not specifically limited here. For example, taking... Figure 6 and Figure 7 For example, the bending structure z is illustrated when it is bent at a right angle. In this way, the second engaging portion 142 of the two bending structures z can provide more stable support to the third bending portion w3 and the fourth bending portion w4, respectively. The bending direction of the bending structure z can be upward, downward, left, or right, etc., specifically set according to the engaging relationship between the third bending portion w3, the fourth bending portion w4 and the fixing member 140. Furthermore, the second locking slot 142a on the bending structure z can be set according to the dimensions of the third bending portion w3 and the fourth bending portion w4, respectively, without specific limitations. This facilitates a tighter engagement between the telescopic member 120 and the elastic member 130a. The second locking slot 142a can be constructed as a through hole k or as a notch, depending on the actual situation, without limitation.

[0129] Thus, by constructing the second snap-fit ​​part 142 as a bent structure z, and providing the second snap-fit ​​part 142a, the third bent part w3 and the fourth bent part w4 can be more firmly snapped into the second snap-fit ​​part 142a, further improving the stability of the third bent part w3 and the fourth bent part w4 snapped into the fastener 140.

[0130] Figure 11 An exploded structural diagram of an ingrown toenail corrector according to some embodiments of this application is shown; Figure 12 It shows Figure 11 The diagram shows a top view of the cross-sectional structure of the ingrown toenail corrector; Figure 13 for Figure 12 The diagram shows a partially enlarged structural schematic of point E of the ingrown toenail corrector; for ease of explanation, only the content related to the embodiments of this application is shown.

[0131] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and in conjunction with references Figures 11 to 13 The first snap-fit ​​part 141 is constructed as a snap-fit ​​hole d.

[0132] Specifically, the elastic element 130a is connected to one end of the corresponding mounting element 110, inserted into and extending out of one of the snap-fit ​​holes d. The telescopic element 120 is connected to one end of the corresponding mounting element 110, inserted into and extending out of the other snap-fit ​​hole d. The diameter of the snap-fit ​​hole d can be set according to the inner diameter of the elastic element 130a and the inner diameter of the telescopic element 120, so that the elastic element 130a and the telescopic element 120 are inserted into the corresponding snap-fit ​​hole d, without specific limitations. In addition, the end of the elastic element 130a connected to the corresponding mounting element 110 and the end of the telescopic element 120 connected to the corresponding mounting element 110 can be inserted into and extend out of the same snap-fit ​​hole d, which can be set according to the actual situation.

[0133] The elastic member 130a extends out of one of the snap-fit ​​holes d and is fixedly connected to the corresponding fixing member 140 by welding, extrusion, or adhesive bonding. The telescopic member 120 extends out of the other snap-fit ​​hole d and is fixedly connected to the corresponding fixing member 140 by welding, extrusion, or adhesive bonding. Of course, other methods of fixing can also be used, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0134] Taking adhesive bonding as an example, selecting a suitable adhesive can form a stronger bonding layer between the end of the telescopic component 120 and the fixing component 140, as well as between the elastic component 130a and the fixing component 140, thus bonding the telescopic component 120 and the fixing component 140, and the elastic component 130a and the fixing component 140, into a more tightly bonded whole. The extrusion method applies pressure to make the contact between the telescopic component 120 and the fixing component 140, and the elastic component 130a and the fixing component 140, more compact, increasing friction and thus improving the stability of the connection. Welding further enables the telescopic component 120 and the fixing component 140, and the elastic component 130a and the fixing component 140, to connect at the molecular level, forming a stronger structure and reducing the risk of the telescopic component 120 and the elastic component 130a detaching from or loosening from the fixing component 140.

[0135] In this way, by constructing the first snap-fit ​​part 141 as a snap-fit ​​hole d, the end of the elastic member 130a extending out of one of the snap-fit ​​holes d can be fixedly connected to the corresponding fixing member 140, and the end of the telescopic member 120 extending out of the other snap-fit ​​hole d can be fixedly connected to the corresponding fixing member 140 by welding, extrusion, or adhesive bonding. This can further improve the stability of the connection between the elastic member 130a and the fixing member 140, as well as the connection between the telescopic member 120 and the fixing member 140, and can also reduce the cost in the production process.

[0136] For example, with Figure 11 For example, the fastener 140 is roughly rectangular in shape. Of course, the fastener 140 can also be other shapes, which can be set according to the actual situation, and no specific restrictions are made here.

[0137] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 13 The fastener 140 and the mounting component 110 connected to the fastener 140 are integrated into one unit.

[0138] The integrated connection between the fastener 140 and the mounting component 110 further enhances the bond between them. Compared to traditional separate connection methods (such as bolted, welded, or glued connections), the integrated connection reduces potential gaps and the risk of loosening at the connection point, making the fastener 140 and mounting component 110 a more seamless unit. Because the fastener 140 and mounting component 110 are integrated, there are no protruding connection points as in separate connections, thus reducing friction on the soft tissue around the user's nails.

[0139] In this way, by integrating the fastener 140 and the mounting member 110 connected to the fastener 140, the stability and reliability of the connection between the fastener 140 and the mounting member 110 can be improved. At the same time, the fastener 140 can also position the telescopic member 120 and the elastic member 130, reducing the risk that the telescopic member 120 and the elastic member 130 may slip, causing difficulties in the integrated connection.

[0140] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 13 The fastener 140 is located within the mounting member 110 connected to the fastener 140, and the mounting member 110 is formed by injection molding.

[0141] Injection molding is a widely used process in the manufacture of plastic products. Its principle involves heating and melting plastic granules into a liquid state, then injecting it into a mold cavity under high pressure. After cooling and solidification, a plastic product of the desired shape is obtained. After the fastener 140 securely connects the ends of the telescopic member 120 and the elastic member 130a, the mounting member 110 is formed through injection molding, which can improve the connection stability between the telescopic member 120 and the elastic member 130a.

[0142] Furthermore, in the injection molding process, the fixing member 140 can fix the ends of the telescopic member 120 and the elastic member 130a, reducing the slippage of the telescopic member 120 and the elastic member 130a, improving the accuracy of injection molding, and reducing the risk of injection difficulties or inability to inject. At the same time, the fixing member 140 can also keep the ends of the telescopic member 120 and the elastic member 130a parallel, reducing the risk that the ends of the telescopic member 120 and the elastic member 130a may be misaligned due to non-parallelism, which could prevent the telescopic member 120 and the elastic member 130a from stretching when adjusting the distance L between the two mounting members 110, thereby improving the convenience of injection molding.

[0143] Thus, by having the fixing member 140 located within the mounting member 110 connected to it, and the mounting member 110 being formed through injection molding, the connection stability and reliability between the fixing member 140 and the mounting member 110 can be further improved. Simultaneously, due to the presence of the fixing member 140, after the mounting member 110 is formed through injection molding, the resistance at which the ends of the telescopic member 120 and the elastic member 130a connect to the mounting member 110 can be increased, reducing the risk of the telescopic member 120 and the elastic member 130a detaching from the mounting member 110 due to improper operation when adjusting the distance L between the two mounting members 110.

[0144] It should be noted that, regarding such Figure 11For example, ingrown toenail corrector 100, fixing part 140 can be directly attached to the nail by means of applying glue, double-sided tape, or by means of a certain degree of adhesiveness on the surface of fixing part 140, that is, there is no need to set up a separate installation part 110, that is, there is no need to use the injection molding process.

[0145] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 12 The telescopic component 120 is configured as a coil spring.

[0146] Specifically, the helical spring is a main body that extends spirally around an axis, thus forming a hollow cavity Q. The inner diameter of the cavity Q can be set according to the outer diameter of the elastic component 130, and is not specifically limited here. This allows one end of each of the two elastic elements 130a to pass through the cavity Q.

[0147] It should be noted that the two ends of the helical spring along the second direction F2 are connected to the mounting part 110 starting from the non-helical part.

[0148] Thus, by configuring the telescopic component 120 as a coil spring, when the user attaches the two mounting pieces 110 to the area of ​​the nail to be corrected, the coil spring will undergo tensile deformation due to the width and curvature of the nail, and the elastic element 130a within the cavity Q of the coil spring will also undergo elastic deformation. The elastic element 130a generates an elastic restoring force, and simultaneously, the coil spring generates a contraction force. These two forces act simultaneously on the two mounting pieces 110, thereby pulling out the nail embedded in the soft tissue. Since the contraction force of the coil spring is less affected by the curvature of the nail, the nail may flatten during the process of pulling out the nail embedded in the soft tissue, and the elastic restoring force of the elastic component 130 will gradually decrease. However, the contraction force of the coil spring can continue to exert its effect, allowing the nail embedded in the soft tissue to continue to be pulled out, which is beneficial to further improving the effect of ingrown toenail correction.

[0149] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 The ingrown toenail corrector 110 includes two operating parts 160.

[0150] The operating element 160 is a component that facilitates operation and force application by the user. Specifically, two operating elements 160 are connected one-to-one to the opposite sides of two mounting elements 110. The user can operate and apply force to the telescopic element 120 and the elastic element 130a through the operating elements 160, thereby adjusting the distance L between the two mounting elements 110. For example, with Figure 1 For example, the case of the ingrown nail corrector 100 including two operating elements 160 is illustrated.

[0151] Thus, by setting two operating parts 160, it is not only convenient for the user to operate the telescopic part 120 and the elastic component 130, but also allows for flexible adjustment of the distance L between the two mounting parts 110, further improving the ease of operation. After the operator adjusts the distance L between the two mounting parts 110 and attaches them to the area of ​​the nail to be corrected, the two operating parts 160, connected one-to-one on opposite sides of the two mounting parts 110, may be located outside the width of the nail, potentially scratching the soft tissue around the nail, or tearing socks or shoes, affecting the comfort of the correction process. Therefore, the user can trim the operating parts 160 on both sides with a tool. This reduces the risk of the operating parts 160 scratching the soft tissue around the nail, or tearing socks or shoes.

[0152] Of course, the operating component 160 can be integrated with the corresponding mounting component 110, and the mounting component 110 and the operating component 160 are formed by injection molding. This can improve the connection stability between the operating component 160 and the corresponding mounting component 110. This can be configured according to actual conditions, and no specific restrictions are imposed here.

[0153] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0154] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
