Nail Tip Positioning Assistance Tool to Prevent Display Detachment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional nail tip sample sets are prone to detachment and arrangement disruption due to impact, vibration, and dust adhesion, making them unsuitable for effective display in nail salons.
Innovation Solution
The introduction of a nail tip with a positioning assistance tool that includes attachments on various surfaces (thickness portion, thick peripheral edge, concavely curved surface, base portion, and convexly curved surface) for secure arrangement on display tools, using members like needles, rods, plates, and magnets to maintain stability and prevent dust adhesion.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If nail tips are attached on sponge or cotton material in hard case by double-sided tape, then nail tips can be arranged for display, but nail tips are easily detached with slight impact and arrangement is broken
Solution Approach 1:
The invention introduces a positioning assistance tool as a separate component that segments the attachment function from the display tool. The positioning tool with protrusions fits into recesses on the nail tip back surface, creating a mechanical interlocking system that prevents detachment while maintaining ease of arrangement.
Solution Approach 2:
The positioning assistance tool acts as an intermediary between the nail tip and the display tool. Instead of directly attaching nail tips to the display surface with tape, the positioning tool mediates the connection through its protrusions and recesses, providing stable attachment that resists impact and vibration.
2Adaptability or versatility
If one or more nail tips are replaced in well-arranged state, then individual nail tips can be exchanged, but vibration from removing tips causes other tips to detach and arrangement breaks
Solution Approach 1:
Each nail tip is equipped with its own positioning assistance tool with protrusions that fit into recesses on the nail tip back surface. This segmentation allows individual tips to be removed and replaced without affecting the stability of other tips, as each tip's attachment is independent through its dedicated positioning mechanism.
3Quantity of substance
If nail tips are arranged with no gap for displaying many designs, then display capacity is maximized, but dust from filing adheres to double-sided tape surface
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts the dust-collecting double-sided tape from the system and replaces it with a mechanical positioning mechanism. The protrusions and recesses create a physical attachment system that does not rely on adhesive surfaces, thereby eliminating the problem of dust adhesion while maintaining tight arrangement for maximum display capacity.
4Adaptability or versatility
If conventional nail tips are used for display, then existing inventory can be utilized, but there are not many methods to display them and they are not suitable for presentation
Solution Approach 1:
The positioning assistance tool serves multiple functions: it provides mechanical attachment to the display tool, enables individual tip replacement, prevents dust adhesion, and allows for various display arrangements. This universal solution makes conventional nail tips suitable for professional presentation and display in nail salons.

AI summary
An object of the present invention is to provide a display nail tip suitable for being arranged, as samples of nail tips for nail art to be provided to customers, in a hard case, frames, boards, pedestals or the like and being presented to the customers or displayed in shops. Another object of the present invention is to provide a nail tip for the display nail tip described above and a nail tip positioning assistance tool. A display nail tip of the present invention includes a nail body (1) and a nail tip positioning assistance tool (14a, 14b) for assisting arrangement of the nail body on a nail tip display tool. The nail tip positioning assistance tool is integral-molded with any one of a thickness portion (3) of the nail body, a thick peripheral edge (1h) of the nail body, a concavely curved surface (1b) of the nail body, a base portion (4) arranged on the concavely curved surface (1b) of the nail body and a convexly curved surface (1a) of the nail body.
