Nail Drawing Apparatus Finger Stabilization Connector
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional nail design drawing apparatuses face issues with finger instability during nail printing, leading to positional deviations and hygiene concerns due to direct contact between fingers and the apparatus, especially in multi-user settings where frequent cleaning and disinfection are necessary.
Innovation Solution
An object holding member with an object insertion tool and connector is integrated into a drawing apparatus, allowing for precise positioning and stabilization of fingers or toes within the apparatus, preventing positional changes and minimizing direct contact with the apparatus.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If a finger-sheath type nail auxiliary implement is used to prevent direct contact between the finger and apparatus, then hygiene is improved and cleaning frequency is reduced, but the nail may contact and rub against the finger sheath during insertion and removal, causing damage to the nail print
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a connector as an intermediary component between the object holding member and the external apparatus. This connector mediates the connection, allowing the object holding member to be securely attached while enabling easy insertion and removal of the finger without direct contact between the nail and the apparatus interior, thus preventing nail print damage while maintaining hygiene
Solution Approach 2:
The system is divided into separate components: the object holding member, the connector, and the external apparatus. This segmentation allows the finger sheath to be easily inserted and removed from the object holding member without contacting the apparatus, while the connector maintains the hygienic barrier between the finger and the apparatus interior
2Device complexity
If the finger is simply placed on a mounting stand, then the structure is simple, but the hand is in an unstable state causing positional deviation during drawing
Solution Approach 1:
The object holding member is designed with a flexible finger sheath that can dynamically adapt to different finger sizes and shapes. The sheath elastically deforms during insertion and then maintains a stable, secure fit that prevents positional deviation during drawing, while still allowing for easy removal when needed
3Measurement precision
If a connector is added to couple with the external apparatus and suppress position changes, then positioning precision is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The connector is designed as a separate, modular component that interfaces between the object holding member and the external apparatus. This segmentation allows the connector to provide precise positioning and secure attachment functionality without complicating the overall system design, as each component can be optimized independently
Solution Approach 2:
The connector serves multiple functions: it mechanically couples the object holding member to the apparatus, suppresses position changes during drawing, and facilitates easy insertion and removal of the finger sheath. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional components, thereby limiting the increase in device complexity

AI summary
An object holding member, which is to be disposed in an external apparatus, includes an object insertion tool, and a connector. The object insertion tool has a space, into which an object which is a finger or a toe having a nail is inserted. The connector is configured to couple with the external apparatus and suppress a change in a position of the object holding member within the external apparatus in a case where the object holding member is disposed in the external apparatus.
