[0014] Hereinafter, a plurality of embodiments of the nail dyeing device will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

[0015] [1. First Embodiment] [1-1. Configuration] The nail photo-dyeing device 1 of the present embodiment, shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, includes a mitt-shaped main body 2 and a controller C. Although it is portable, when in use, the main body 2 is placed on a flat surface such as a table or a desk.

[0016] In the photo-dyeing process, after applying a photo-dyeing agent to the nail, turn the palm downward and insert it into the opening 3 of the main body 2. The main body 2 is provided with a tape light that irradiates uniform illumination.

[0017] The main body 2 is made of a resin with high hardness such as polycarbonate. A space A for inserting the hand is secured between the ceiling 21 and the bottom 22 of the main body 2. It is possible to insert the hand into the space A from the opening 3 in the main body 2. In the main body 2, the direction in which the hand is inserted is taken as the depth.

[0018] Space A is designed so that a hand can be inserted without the nail coated with the dye touching the ceiling 21. This space A has a depth longer than the length from the tip of the thumb nail to the tip of the middle finger nail.

[0019] At the bottom of space A, there is a mounting table 4 made of polyurethane and EVA resin. The mounting table 4 has a groove imitating the palm, and by placing the hand on it, the light of the LED tape light 5 is designed to evenly shine on the nail.

[0020] The tape light 5 is arranged on the side of space A of the ceiling 21. The tape light 5 is arranged on one inner surface of the ceiling 21. The wiring 51 of the LED tape light 5 passes through the inside of the ceiling 21 so as not to be exposed on the surface of the ceiling 21.

[0021] The LED tape light 5 used includes, for example, RGB LEDs 52 of three colors: red, green, and blue. It is preferable that the RGB LEDs 52 arranged are of three colors, but two colors may also be acceptable. These LEDs 52 are used as the tape light 5 arranged on a flexible tape.

[0022] The tape light 5 is a device that irradiates the nail with a light dye. It rapidly blinks the three-color LEDs and mixes the colors to operate as one light-emitting part. Each LED emits light of a specific color wavelength, thereby obtaining various color effects. The tape light 5 is thin, flexible, and self-adhesive, so it can be easily attached to various places.

[0023] The tape light 5 is connected to an RGB color controller C, and through this controller, the light emission and brightness of each color LED can be adjusted. As shown in Figure 3, the controller C is equipped with a color preset button C1, a brightness adjustment button C2, a custom color adjustment button C3, a custom color emission button C4, and an irradiation time timer.

[0024] The color preset button C1 controls the LED emission of the specified color. For example, when "purple" is selected, the red and blue LEDs are mixed and purple light is emitted. The brightness can be adjusted with the brightness adjustment button.

[0025] The custom color emission button C4 is for the tape light 5 to emit the color set by the user with the custom color adjustment button C3. The user can adjust the brightness of their favorite color and set it on the custom color emission button C4.

[0026] The RGB color controller C is also equipped with a timer function to set the irradiation time of the tape light 5.

[0027] The main body of the nail dyeing device is equipped with an on / off switch. When the switch is turned on, the tape light 5 emits light, and when it is turned off, the irradiation stops.

[0028] [1-2. Function] Hereinafter, the operation of the nail dyeing device of the present embodiment will be described together with the operation procedure of the user.

[0029] When the user applies gel nails or nail art to the nails, a known photo-curing agent is applied to the nails of one hand. Next, by irradiating the nails with the tape light 5, the photo-curing agent reacts and the nails change to the desired color.

[0030] Before the treatment, the user checks what color can be obtained depending on the color and irradiation time of the tape light 5. When using a specific photo-curing agent, for example, "Easy Color Gel" manufactured by E Wellness Pimple Cosmetics Co., Ltd., the nails can be dyed as shown in Table 1 below according to the color of the tape light 5.

[0031] [Table 1] JPEG0007701418000001.jpg60156

[0032] After confirming the desired color and irradiation time, the user applies the light dye to the nails. It is possible to dye all the nails or only a part of the nail art.

[0033] The user places the applied hand, palm down, in space A of the device. Then, when the user turns on the switch of the nail dyeing device with the unapplied hand, the device starts up and the light from the tape light 5 irradiates the nails.

[0034] For example, when dyeing the nails brown, the light emitted from the tape light 5 causes red (R), green (G), and blue (B) to emit colors with the same luminance. As a result, white light is emitted from the light-emitting part of the tape light 5.

[0035] The user operates the RGB color controller C to adjust the tape light 5 to the desired color. Each color of white, blue (cyan), blue (light blue), yellow, green, orange, and red in Table 1 is pre-registered in the color preset button C1 of the RGB color controller C. The user can make the light-emitting part of the tape light 5 the desired color by pressing the color preset button C1.

[0036] After the user makes the light-emitting part of the tape light 5 the desired color, the user adjusts the light amount using the brightness adjustment button. The speed of dyeing varies depending on the irradiation amount of light. Therefore, the user adjusts the light amount according to the desired dyed color or timing.

[0037] During use of the nail dyeing device, if the dyeing does not progress well or conversely, if the dyeing progresses too quickly, the user can also perform control to increase or decrease the light amount of the light-emitting part of the tape light 5 using the brightness adjustment button during irradiation.

[0038] During irradiation, it is also possible to check the dyeing condition of the nails through the opening 3 on the fingertip side. Since the finish changes due to the light entering through the opening 3, it is possible to obtain the desired color by choosing a dim place as the treatment location.

[0039] After dyeing the nails in the desired color, pull out the hand from space A and apply top coat gel to the nails. As the top coat gel, use a top coat gel containing a component that stops the progress of the dyeing of the photo - dye. Therefore, by applying the top coat gel to the nails, the dyeing condition of the photo - dye by light stops.

[0040] [1 - 3. Effects] (1) The nail dyeing device of the embodiment is a nail dyeing device that irradiates light on nails coated with a photo - dye for dyeing, and includes an opening 3 into which a finger is inserted, a hollow main body 2 that covers the nails of the inserted finger, an LED provided on the inner surface of the main body 2 that irradiates light on the nails inserted into the main body 2, and a controller that adjusts the brightness of the LED. Therefore, by the RGB color controller C, the light - emitting part of the tape light can emit light in the desired color. With this function, even when using one photo - dye, dyeing with a variety of color tones can be performed. Also, the RGB color controller C has a function of color preset buttons C1 for reducing the user's burden, and of uniquely adjusting and storing the emission color of the tape light 5. With these functions, it becomes possible to enjoy original photo - dyeing without the need for repeated color adjustment.

[0041] (2) The nail photo - dyeing device 1 includes an opening 3 in the main body 2 into which the entire fingertips of a plurality of fingers are inserted, and a main body 2 that covers the nails of a plurality of fingers. Therefore, it is possible to perform dyeing on the nails of a plurality of fingers, and the treatment time can be shortened. Also, since the LEDs are irradiated simultaneously, it is less likely that there will be a difference in the finish. Also, by making the depth of the main body 2 the same as the length from the thumbnail to the tip of the index finger nail, the size of the main body 2 can be suppressed.

[0042] [2. Second Embodiment] [2 - 1. Configuration] The nail light staining device 1 of this embodiment is shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, and is a modification of the shape of the main body 2 of the first embodiment. The main body 2 is provided with two openings 3 at the front and rear, and is semi-circular or arch-shaped. The depth length of the main body 2 is longer than twice the length from the tip of the thumb nail to the tip of the middle finger nail.

[0043] [2-2. Function, Effect] In this embodiment, by making the main body semi-circular or arch-shaped and placing the hand under it, light can be uniformly irradiated from above. This shape is suitable for effectively dispersing light over the entire finger. Also, since the fingertip is open, the heat generated from the LED can smoothly escape to the outside, so there is also the advantage of preventing the fingertip from getting too hot. It is possible to insert the hand from either of the two openings 3 at the front and rear of the main body 2 to perform the treatment. Furthermore, by increasing the depth, it is possible to perform the treatment on both hands simultaneously.

[0044] [3. Third Embodiment] [3-1. Configuration] The nail light staining device 1 of this embodiment is shown in FIG. 6, and is a modification of the sizes of the main body 2 and the opening 3 of the first embodiment. The main body 2 is sized to fit one finger.

[0045] [3-2. Function, Effect] In this embodiment, it can be conveniently used when performing treatment on one finger. Since the size of the main body 2 can be reduced, it is possible to more easily enjoy staining the nails.

[0046] [4. Fourth Embodiment] [4-1. Configuration] The nail light staining device 1 of this embodiment is shown in FIG. 7, and a light-shielding cover 6 that blocks the light entering the space A is provided at the opening 3 of the main body 2 of the first embodiment. The light-shielding cover 6 prevents light from entering through the opening 3. The light-shielding cover 6 has an entrance 61 for inserting the hand, and the size of the entrance 61 can be adjusted with a drawstring 62. Furthermore, a size adjustment function can be added around the entrance 61.

[0047] [4-2. Function and Effect] In this embodiment, when performing the treatment, the user places their hand into the space A through the entrance 61. Then, with the other hand, the user slightly closes the entrance 61 of the light-shielding cover 6 to reduce the gap with the hand. As a result, the light entering the main body 2 can be blocked, so that even when a light-sensitive dye that is easily reactive to light is used, the dyeing condition can be controlled without being affected by external light. Also, it is possible to prevent the user's eyes from being irradiated with the light of the LED.

[0048] [5. Other Embodiments] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described as above, various omissions, replacements, and changes can be made without departing from the gist of the invention. And this embodiment and its modifications are included in the scope and gist of the invention, and are included in the invention described in the claims and its equivalent scope. The following is an example of this.

[0049] (1) In addition to the mitt type that irradiates a plurality of fingers with LEDs simultaneously, a clip type or cap type main body that inserts only one or a plurality of fingertips can be provided, and an LED can be arranged in each clip or cap. Thereby, each finger can be individually light-dyed. When a plurality of main bodies are provided, by making the irradiation time and color different for each finger, each finger can be dyed in a different color.

[0050] (2) By adopting a two-stage structure in which an LED is arranged at the upper part and a reflector or diffuser plate is arranged at the lower part, the nail can be effectively irradiated with light by using the reflected light.

[0051] (3) The RGB color controller C is provided with a color preset button C1, a brightness adjustment button C2, a custom color emission button C4, custom color adjustment buttons C3 (red (R), green (G), and blue (B)), and an irradiation time timer. However, it may also be provided with other buttons and functions. For example, an ON / OFF switch for the nail dyeing device may be provided on the RGB color controller C. Thereby, it becomes possible to operate the nail dyeing device with one controller. On the other hand, one RGB color controller C does not necessarily have to be provided with all of the color preset button C1, the brightness adjustment button C2, the custom color emission button C4, the custom color adjustment buttons C3 (red (R), green (G), and blue (B)), the irradiation time timer, and the ON / OFF switch for the nail dyeing device. For example, by dividing the buttons into those with high usage frequency and those with low usage frequency, it becomes possible to reduce the size of the RGB color controller C for the buttons with high usage frequency. Further, the RGB color controller C is connected to the nail dyeing device by wire, but it may also be configured to be connected wirelessly.

[0052] (5) As the LED, a single-color one can be used. In that case, by adjusting the irradiation time, the degree of nail dyeing can be adjusted.

[0053] (6) It is also possible to incorporate an additional cooling function (for example, a cooling fan) as needed. Thereby, even when a high light output is required, the temperature of the device can be kept within an appropriate range.
