Description

[0001] The invention relates to a device for presenting a product to be applied to a fingernail; this device contains a fingernail replica onto which the product can be applied.

[0002] The presentation of cosmetic products, and especially nail polish, is a challenge for every manufacturer or retailer.

[0003] Special nail polish displays offer the opportunity to showcase a wide variety of nail polishes. To demonstrate a single nail polish color, it is common practice to include a color palette with the available shades in the displays.

[0005] From FR 2271788 A1, a device is known which proposes a curved U-shaped clamping holder, wherein one upper leg of the U can be formed by a fingernail replica. In this way, the device can be placed on a customer's finger and the color of the fingernail replica can be judged by taste in contrast to the customer's skin.

[0006] The invention is based on the objective of creating a device for presenting a product to be applied to a fingernail.

[0007] To solve this problem, the device according to the invention is for presenting a product to be applied to a fingernail, wherein this device includes a fingernail replica on which the product can be applied, and wherein it includes a holder for attaching the fingernail replica to a finger.

[0008] Such a device, which can be attached to a finger and whose fingernail replica contains, in particular, a nail polish with a specific color tint, creates possibilities for a potential buyer of a nail polish after attaching the device to a finger. - to determine and check the extent to which the respective nail polish is compatible with the skin color of the potential customer, and to check the color tone of the nail polish under changing conditions, such as inside a room, outside a room and under different lighting conditions.

[0009] The holder is a clamp-type holder in the shape of a U-profile, the first leg of which contains the fingernail replica. This first leg preferably has the shape of an artificial fingernail.

[0010] Furthermore, it is provided that the second leg of the U-profile has the form of a plate, which is resiliently connected to the first leg forming the fingernail replica by means of the U-profile base.

[0011] The leg forming the fingernail replica is connected to the U-profile base by means of a bridge.

[0012] Magnetic material is attached to the back of the second U-profile leg to allow the device to be attached to a magnetic plate.

[0013] The U-profile base of the U-profile preferably has the shape of a rectangular plate.

[0014] The invention is described in more detail below with reference to the drawing: The Fig. 1 and Fig. Figure 2 shows isometric images of the device according to the invention from two different viewing directions. Fig. Figure 3 shows the device according to the invention viewed from the rear.

[0015] The device according to the invention essentially has the shape of a U-profile. - with a first leg forming the fingernail replica 2, - a second U-profile leg 3 forming the back of the device 1, which is connected to the first U-profile leg by means of a plate 4 forming the base of the U-profile.

[0016] The first leg of the U-profile, which forms the fingernail replica, is connected to the plate 2, which forms the base of the U-profile, by means of a bridge 5. In this way, the two legs of the U-profile are arranged in a resilient manner relative to each other, depending on the choice of material, so that the device as a whole has a resilient holder for sliding onto a finger.

[0017] The first leg of the U-profile forming the fingernail replica 2 is preferably curved according to the curvature of a fingernail, preferably in particular in the form of an artificial fingernail.

[0018] According to Fig. 3 magnetic material 6 is attached to the back of the second U-profile leg 3, so that the device according to the invention can be attached to a magnetic plate located in the store for the presentation of a product applied to the fingernail replica 2.
