Description

Nail repair patch

[0001] The present invention relates to an antibacterial and cosmetic complex functional repair patch.

[0002] Describe the causes of changes in nail color or shape:

[0003] About 50% of changes in nail color or shape are caused by fungal infections. Other causes include nail damage, congenital deformities, psoriasis, lichen planus, and infections. Fungal infections are caused by fungi such as Trichophyton rubrum and Trichophyton mentagrophytes. Patent Document 1 describes a pharmaceutical composition for the prevention or treatment of onychomycosis, comprising urea, fumaric acid, 1,3-butylene glycol, a gel-forming polymer, a crosslinking agent, and water (see claim 1).

[0004]

[0005] Describe nail care market trends:

[0006] The global nail care market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.0% from 2022 to 2031, reaching a market size of $23.1 billion by 2031. A variety of products have been launched to meet consumer demand, including liquid nail polish, UV-cured gel nails, and dry stickers. Patent Document 2 describes a nail sticker and its manufacturing method, comprising a PET film, an acrylic-based adhesive layer, a vacuum-coated coating layer, a color layer, a glitter layer, and a protective tape (see claim 1). Patent Document 3 also describes a semi-cured gel nail sticker comprising a release film layer, a top gel layer containing a UV-curable resin, a printing layer, a color layer, a curable adhesive layer, a release paper, and a UV light-blocking film (see claim 1).

[0007]

[0008] Describes consumer needs for multi-functionality:

[0009] Consumers with discolored or discolored nails have a strong need for products that combine repair and cosmetic functions. While nail care products may offer repair functions, their cosmetic benefits are often limited if they are typically band-shaped or transparent, increasing consumers' desire for more aesthetic benefits. Furthermore, consumers who have not experienced any discoloration or discoloration but have suffered minor damage to their nails due to previous nail care, or who require preventative care, such as those with severe dryness, also have this need. Prior art literature, for example, Patent Document 4, discloses a gel nail sticker comprising a release film layer, a top gel layer containing a UV-curable resin, and an adhesive layer containing an antibacterial agent, wherein the antibacterial agent comprises copper-boehmite composite particles (see claim 1).

[0010]

[0011] Describes consumer needs for products that are easy to attach and remove:

[0051] Terms or words used in this specification and claims should not be interpreted as limited to their usual or dictionary meanings, but should be interpreted as having been described by the inventor based on meanings and concepts consistent with the technical idea of ​​the present invention in order to best explain the terms and concepts of the invention.

[0052] Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the manufacturing examples, experimental examples, or examples presented, and various modifications and changes are possible within the scope equivalent to the technical idea of ​​the present invention and the technical idea described in the claims below by those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains. The scope of the present invention may include many such modifications.

[0053]

[0054] The term "repair" in this specification refers to the prevention or improvement of changes in the color or appearance of nails, encompassing functions such as antibacterial and / or moisturizing. Furthermore, the term "patch" combines the dictionary definition of "piece" with the overall technical concept of providing a repair function.

[0055]

[0056] Example 1. Antibacterial and cosmetic complex functional repair patch

[0057] The repair patch according to Example 1 of the present invention includes a moisture adhesive layer (100), a functional layer (200), and a cosmetic cover layer (300). (See FIG. 1)

[0058]

[0059] The moisture adhesive layer (100) is a composition that can be adhered to a fingernail or toenail using moisture such as saliva or a small amount of water, and includes a moisture adhesive component (110) and a porous support layer (120).

[0060]

[0061] The water-soluble adhesive component (110) includes a component that exhibits water-soluble adhesive properties. That is, it includes a component capable of exhibiting adhesive properties with only a small amount of moisture. Examples include starch and / or gelatin. Depending on design conditions, proteins, glycolipids, and other components exhibiting similar properties may also be utilized.

[0062]

[0063] The porous support layer (120) is a structure that supports the water-adhesive component (110) and forms the shape of a patch. For example, it is formed of porous paper and / or porous non-woven fibers and has the shape of a nail, so that it can cover the entire nail surface that has changed color or shape. Depending on the design conditions, any material that has porous properties, flexibility, and can be applied with a solution spray or hydrogel can be used.

[0064]

[0065] Regarding the manufacturing of the moisture adhesive layer (100), a solution of starch dissolved in water and / or a solution of collagen dissolved in water can be sprayed onto the porous support layer (120) and dried. Preferably, the moisture adhesive layer (100) is manufactured so that it can adhere to the nail and function to the extent that it can adhere for 1 to 2 days. That is, the process of spraying and drying the solution containing the adhesive component is performed at least twice so that the moisture adhesive component (110) is laminated to a thickness equal to or greater than the thickness of the porous support layer (120).

[0066] Alternatively, a powder obtained by drying and pulverizing a solution of starch dissolved in water and / or a powder obtained by drying and pulverizing a solution of collagen dissolved in water may be used together. In this case, the process of spraying a solution containing an adhesive component onto the porous support layer (120), applying the powder, and then drying may be performed at least twice. In this case, even if the thickness of the water-adhesive component (110) is less than the thickness of the porous support layer (120), the adhesive strength can be maintained.

[0067] Alternatively, the water-adhesive component (110) may be formed into a hydrogel and applied to the porous support layer (120). That is, it may be formed into a hydrogel containing a starch component and / or collagen, a gelling agent, a crosslinking agent, and water and applied to the porous support layer (120). In this case, it is also preferable to apply the hydrogel to the porous support layer (120) multiple times.

[0068]

[0069] Depending on the design conditions, a small amount of general adhesive component may be applied to the upper portion of the porous support layer (120). This is to prepare for cases where it is necessary to maintain contact with the upper functional layer (200) during the product launch process.

[0070]

[0071] As the moisture adhesive layer (100) is formed in this way, when the user slightly wets the moisture adhesive layer (100) and attaches it to the fingernail, the water-soluble adhesive function of the moisture adhesive component (110) is activated and the patch is attached to the fingernail.

[0072] In addition, as will be examined again below, since the patch is compressed at the same time as it is adhered, the moisture adhesive component (110) passes through the upper part of the porous support layer (120) and also affects the functional layer (200) and the cosmetic cover layer (300) of the upper layer, so that the patch structure naturally becomes solid. That is, as it is compressed, the antibacterial component (210) and the nutritional component (230) included in the functional layer (200) naturally act on the fingernails and toenails, and the porous support layer (120) of the moisture adhesive layer (100), the porous support layer (220) of the functional layer, and the cosmetic cover layer (300) form the skeleton of the patch structure, so that the structure becomes solid.

[0073] Additionally, as the adhesive strength decreases over time due to the consumption of the water-based adhesive (110), the patch can be easily removed using water.

[0074]

[0075] The functional layer (200) is configured to allow antibacterial and nutritional components to act in the direction of the fingernails and toenails, and includes an antibacterial component (210), a porous support layer (220), and a nutritional component (230). Depending on the design conditions, the positions of the antibacterial component (210) and the nutritional component (230) may be changed.

[0076]

[0077] *

[0078] The antibacterial component (210) includes a component having antibacterial functionality against fungi. Preferably, it includes components having antibacterial functionality against Trichophyton rubrum and Trichophyton mentagrophytes. In addition, it includes components having antibacterial properties against the above pathogens from natural product extracts. For example, it may include aminopolysaccharides, chitosan, and extracts of the Chinese juniper tree. Depending on the design conditions, the antibacterial component (210) may selectively include an antifungal functional component and a component having a somewhat weaker antibacterial functionality, since it also performs a preventive function.

[0079]

[0080] The porous support layer (220) is a configuration that supports the antibacterial component (210) and the nutritional component (220) while forming the shape of a patch. It has the same design conditions as the porous support layer (120) of the moisture adhesive layer (100), and the material and shape of the porous support layer (120) of the moisture adhesive layer (100) may be adopted.

[0081] Depending on the design conditions, a material having smaller holes than the ventilation holes of the porous support layer (120) of the moisture adhesive layer (100) may be used. This is to control the rate at which the upper layer component of the porous support layer (220) is discharged downward. That is, to ensure that the lower layer component acts first as the patch is compressed, and then the upper layer component acts gradually.

[0082] In addition, the attachment area is made wider to secure adhesion with the cosmetic cover layer (300). This will be described later.

[0083]

[0084] Nutrients (230) include ingredients for moisturizing and nourishing fingernails and toenails. Examples include lavender essential oil, citron oil, lime oil, and phytoncide essential oil.

[0085]

[0086] The manufacturing of the functional layer (100) can be understood as a description of the manufacturing process of the above moisture-adhesive layer (100).

[0087] That is, the solution spray injection? drying process can be repeated several times to form the antibacterial component (210) and the nutritional component (230) on the lower and upper portions of the porous support layer (220), respectively. Alternatively, the solution spray injection? powder application? drying process can be repeated several times. Alternatively, at least one of the antibacterial component (210) and the nutritional component (23) can be formed into a hydrogel and applied.

[0088]

[0089] The cosmetic cover layer (300) is a cover layer with an aesthetically pleasing pattern printed on the upper surface and an adhesive applied to the lower surface. It is formed to have the shape of a fingernail while covering the surface of the fingernail. For example, it can be manufactured using PET film.

[0090] Depending on the design requirements, the adhesive can be formed by applying a common adhesive component to the bottom of a film commonly used in the nail sticker field. Alternatively, a material stronger than the film can be used.

[0091] Depending on the design conditions, applying a general adhesive component to the lower portion of the cosmetic cover layer (300) and forming a moisture adhesive layer (110) may be performed simultaneously. Alternatively, only the moisture adhesive layer (110) may be formed.

[0092]

[0093] When the product is launched, it is sufficient for the moisture adhesive layer (100), the functional layer (200), and the cosmetic cover layer (300) to be adhered to a certain degree. Surface tension due to room temperature and humidity occurs between the porous support layer (120) and the lower layer components of the functional layer (200), so that the two are weakly adhered, and the porous support layer (220) and the cosmetic cover layer (300) are also adhered to each other due to the surface tension due to room temperature and humidity of the upper layer components of the porous support layer (230) and the adhesive component of the lower portion of the cosmetic cover layer (300).

[0094] In order to launch more firmly, a small amount of a general adhesive component can be applied to the upper part of the porous support layer (120), and the ventilation holes of the porous support layer (220) can be made smaller to increase the bonding area.

[0095]

[0096] When the patch is adhered and compressed at the same time, the water adhesive component (110) passes through the upper portion of the porous support layer (120), and a strong surface tension is additionally generated due to the components between the porous support layer (120) and the porous support layer (220), and this also applies to the porous support layer (220) and the cosmetic cover layer (300).

[0097]

[0098] Example 2. Antibacterial and cosmetic complex functional repair patch

[0099] A repair patch according to Example 2 of the present invention includes a moisture adhesive layer (100), a functional layer (200), and a cosmetic cover layer (300). (See FIG. 2)

[0100] Differences from Example 1 are as follows:

[0101] The nutritional component (230) and the antibacterial component (210) are not formed on the upper and lower portions of the porous support layer (220), but are formed on the lower portion of the porous support layer (220). The order of the antibacterial component (210) and the nutritional component (230) may be changed. The formation of each layer is the same as in the manufacturing method of Example 1.

[0102]

[0103] Example 3. Antibacterial and cosmetic complex functional repair patch

[0104] The differences from Example 2 are as follows: The nutritional component (230) and the antibacterial component (210) are mixed to form a single liquid, which is then formed under the porous support layer (220). (See Fig. 3)

[0105] This liquid can be sprayed? Drying, or sprayed? Powder application? Drying. This liquid can also be applied by forming it into a hydrogel. Furthermore, this liquid can be stirred, pre-sonicated, and a liposome-forming component can be added to form liposomes. Alternatively, it can be formed by one of the three processes described above.

[0106] The repair patch manufactured by Examples 1 to 3 according to the present invention can simultaneously satisfy the antibacterial and cosmetic functional needs of consumers, and is convenient in that the patch can be easily attached to the fingernails and toenails with just a little water, and is excellent in terms of hygiene because the patch can be attached for 1 to 2 days and then replaced with another patch, and can also provide fun because a patch with a first pattern can be attached and then a patch with a second pattern can be attached, so it can be said that it is an invention with maximized marketability as well as industrial applicability.
