しかしながら、特許文献１の爪矯正具は１枚の爪ごとに１つの爪矯正具を用意する必要があり、爪矯正具が使用されるたびに操作部が除去及び廃棄されるので、無駄が多く、製造コストが高いという問題があった。 However, with the nail straightening tool of Patent Document 1, it is necessary to prepare one nail straightening tool for each nail, and the operation part is removed and discarded every time the nail straightening tool is used, resulting in a lot of waste. However, there was a problem that the manufacturing cost was high.

本発明は、このような現状を改善すべく成されたものである。 The present invention has been made to improve this current situation.

本発明の爪矯正具は、爪幅方向に沿って爪表面に貼り付けられる板状部と、前記板状部の端部に設けられて爪側部に固定される係止部とを備えた爪矯正具であって、第１板状部の一端部に設けた第１係止部を有する第１矯正具領域と、第２板状部の一端部に設けた第２係止部を有する第２矯正具領域とを有し、前記第１板状部と前記第２板状部の他端部同士が連続して一体に形成されており、前記第１矯正具領域及び前記第２矯正具領域の一方の領域を爪に取り付けた後、他方の領域を切り離すことで爪矯正具として使用可能に構成しているものである。 The nail correction tool of the present invention includes a plate-shaped part that is attached to the nail surface along the nail width direction, and a locking part that is provided at the end of the plate-shaped part and fixed to the nail side part. A nail correction tool having a first correction tool area having a first locking part provided at one end of the first plate-shaped part and a second locking part provided at one end of the second plate-shaped part. the other end portions of the first plate-like part and the second plate-like part are continuously formed integrally with each other, and the first correction tool area and the second correction After one area of the tool area is attached to the nail, the other area is separated so that it can be used as a nail correction tool.

本発明の爪矯正具において、前記第１矯正具領域と前記第２矯正具領域は、前記板状部の形状及び大きさと、前記係止部の形状及び大きさのうち少なくともいずれかが互いに異なっているようにしても構わない。ただし、第１矯正具領域と第２矯正具領域は、形状及び大きさが同じであっても構わない。 In the nail correction device of the present invention, the first correction device region and the second correction device region are different from each other in at least one of the shape and size of the plate-shaped portion and the shape and size of the locking portion. It doesn't matter if it is. However, the first correction tool region and the second correction tool region may have the same shape and size.

本発明の爪矯正具において、前記第１板状部の他端部と前記第２板状部の他端部の間に、上面に上向き凸状の持ち手部を有する持ち手領域が介在しているようにしても構わない。ただし、第１板状部の他端部と第２板状部の他端部が隣接していても構わない。 In the nail correction tool of the present invention, a handle region having an upwardly convex handle portion on an upper surface is interposed between the other end of the first plate-like part and the other end of the second plate-like part. It doesn't matter if it is. However, the other end of the first plate-like part and the other end of the second plate-like part may be adjacent to each other.

本発明の爪矯正具は、一体に形成された第１矯正具領域と第２矯正具領域のうち一方を爪に取り付けた後、他方を切り離すことでそれぞれ爪矯正具として使用できるので、無駄を少なくでき、爪矯正具として使用できる部分の１つ当たりの製造コストを低減できる。 The nail correction tool of the present invention can be used as a nail correction tool by attaching one of the integrally formed first correction tool region and second correction tool region to the nail and then separating the other, thereby reducing waste. The manufacturing cost per part that can be used as a nail corrector can be reduced.

爪矯正具１は、第１矯正具領域１０と第２矯正具領域２０と持ち手部領域３０を備えている。第１矯正具領域１０と第２矯正具領域２０は、爪幅方向に沿って爪１００の爪表面１０１に貼り付けられる板状部１１，２１と、板状部１１，２１の一端部１１ａ，２１ａに設けられて爪１００の爪側部１０２に固定される係止部１３，２３とを備えている。持ち手部領域３０は、その上面に上向き凸状の持ち手部３１を備えている。 The nail corrector 1 includes a first corrector region 10, a second corrector region 20, and a handle region 30. The first orthodontic tool region 10 and the second orthodontic tool region 20 include plate-shaped parts 11 and 21 that are attached to the nail surface 101 of the nail 100 along the nail width direction, one end part 11a of the plate-shaped parts 11 and 21, 21 a and locking portions 13 and 23 that are fixed to the claw side portion 102 of the claw 100. The handle region 30 includes an upwardly convex handle portion 31 on its upper surface.

第１矯正具領域１０の第１板状部１１の一端部１１ａに第１係止部１３が設けられている。第２矯正具領域２０の第２板状部２１の一端部２１ａに第２係止部２３が設けられている。第１板状部１１の他端部１１ｂと第２板状部２１の他端部２１ｂ同士が連続して一体に形成されている。本実施形態では、第１板状部１１の他端部１１ｂと第２板状部２１の他端部２１ｂとの間に持ち手部領域３０が介在している。第１矯正具領域１０と第２矯正具領域２０と持ち手部領域３０は一体に形成されている。 A first locking portion 13 is provided at one end portion 11a of the first plate-like portion 11 of the first corrector region 10. A second locking portion 23 is provided at one end portion 21a of the second plate-like portion 21 of the second corrector region 20. The other end portion 11b of the first plate-like portion 11 and the other end portion 21b of the second plate-like portion 21 are continuously formed integrally with each other. In this embodiment, the handle region 30 is interposed between the other end 11b of the first plate-like part 11 and the other end 21b of the second plate-like part 21. The first orthodontic tool region 10, the second orthodontic tool region 20, and the handle region 30 are integrally formed.

第１矯正具領域１０及び第２矯正具領域２０は、それぞれ爪矯正具として使用可能なものである。爪矯正具１は、矯正具領域１０，２０の一方の領域１０又は２０を爪１００に取り付けた後、他方の領域２０又は１０を切り離すことが可能になっている。そして、切り離された矯正具領域１０又は２０は爪矯正具として使用可能になっている。 The first corrector area 10 and the second corrector area 20 can each be used as a nail corrector. The nail corrector 1 is configured such that after one of the corrector areas 10, 20 is attached to the nail 100, the other area 20 or 10 can be separated. The separated corrector region 10 or 20 can then be used as a nail corrector.

爪矯正具１は、一体に形成された第１矯正具領域１０と第２矯正具領域２０とを切り離すことでそれぞれ爪矯正具として使用できる。したがって、爪矯正具１は無駄な部分を少なくでき、爪矯正具として使用できる部分の１つ当たりの製造コストを低減できる。 The nail corrector 1 can be used as a nail corrector by separating the integrally formed first corrector region 10 and second corrector region 20. Therefore, the nail straightening tool 1 can reduce unnecessary parts, and the manufacturing cost per part that can be used as a nail straightening tool can be reduced.

爪矯正具１は、例えば弾性を有する材料で形成される。このような材料としては、例えば、ＡＢＳ樹脂（アクリロニトリル、ブタジエン、スチレン共重合体）、ポリカーボネート、ポリエチレンテレフタレート、ポリ塩化ビニル、ポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン、フルオロカーボン樹脂、ポリアミド樹脂、アクリル系樹脂、ウレタン系樹脂などの合成樹脂を挙げることができる。爪矯正具１の材料は、合成樹脂である場合、無色透明のものであることが好ましい。これにより、爪矯正具１を爪１００に取り付けた後の見栄えを良くしたり、取付け作業中の状況を把握しやすくなったりする。なお、爪矯正具１の材料は合成樹脂に限定されず、例えば金属であっても構わない。本実施形態では、爪矯正具１は無色透明のＡＢＳ樹脂で形成される。合成樹脂製の爪矯正具１は、例えば射出成形技術で一体形成され得る。 The nail correction tool 1 is made of, for example, an elastic material. Examples of such materials include ABS resin (acrylonitrile, butadiene, styrene copolymer), polycarbonate, polyethylene terephthalate, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, polypropylene, fluorocarbon resin, polyamide resin, acrylic resin, urethane resin, etc. Examples include synthetic resins. When the material of the nail correction tool 1 is a synthetic resin, it is preferably colorless and transparent. This improves the appearance of the nail corrector 1 after it is attached to the nail 100, and makes it easier to understand the situation during the attachment work. Note that the material of the nail correction tool 1 is not limited to synthetic resin, and may be, for example, metal. In this embodiment, the nail correction tool 1 is made of colorless and transparent ABS resin. The nail correction tool 1 made of synthetic resin may be integrally formed using injection molding technology, for example.

本実施形態では、第１矯正具領域１０と第２矯正具領域２０は持ち手部領域３０を挟んで配置されている。つまり、矯正具領域１０，２０は、平面視で持ち手部領域３０を通る同一直線上に配置されている。 In this embodiment, the first orthodontic tool region 10 and the second orthodontic tool region 20 are arranged with the handle region 30 in between. That is, the corrector regions 10 and 20 are arranged on the same straight line passing through the handle region 30 in plan view.

矯正具領域１０と２０は、板状部１１，２１の形状が互いに異なっている。板状部１１，２１はそれぞれ平面視で略矩形の形態を有している。第１板状部１１は、爪１００の長手方向に沿う長さＬ１が、第２板状部２１の長さＬ２よりも長くなっている。また、例えば、長さＬ１は２０ｍｍ（ミリメートル）程度、Ｌ２は５ｍｍ程度である。また、第１板状部１１の幅Ｗ１は１３ｍｍ程度、第２板状部２１の幅Ｗ２は１１ｍｍ程度である。また、板状部１１，２１の厚みはほぼ同じであり、０．４ｍｍ程度である。なお、爪矯正具１の各寸法は一例であり、本実施形態のものに限定されず適宜変更可能である。 In the corrector regions 10 and 20, the shapes of the plate-like portions 11 and 21 are different from each other. Each of the plate portions 11 and 21 has a substantially rectangular shape in plan view. The length L1 of the first plate portion 11 along the longitudinal direction of the claw 100 is longer than the length L2 of the second plate portion 21. Further, for example, the length L1 is about 20 mm (millimeters), and the length L2 is about 5 mm. Further, the width W1 of the first plate-shaped portion 11 is approximately 13 mm, and the width W2 of the second plate-shaped portion 21 is approximately 11 mm. Further, the thicknesses of the plate-like portions 11 and 21 are approximately the same, approximately 0.4 mm. In addition, each dimension of the nail correction tool 1 is an example, and is not limited to the thing of this embodiment, but can be changed as appropriate.

また、矯正具領域１０と２０は、第１係止部１３と第２係止部２３の形状が互いに異なっている。図８に示すように、係止部１３，２３は、持ち手部領域３０側に向けて開口する略Ｃ字形の形態を有する。係止部１３，２３は、板状部１１，２１の一端部１１ａ，２１ａから下向きに延出した折返し部１３ａ，２３ａと、折返し部１３ａ，２３ａの先端部から持ち手部領域３０側に向けて延出した爪挟持部１３ｂ，２３ｂとを有する。本実施形態では、爪挟持部１３ｂは、延出長さが爪挟持部２３ｂよりも長くなっている。 Further, in the corrector regions 10 and 20, the shapes of the first locking portion 13 and the second locking portion 23 are different from each other. As shown in FIG. 8, the locking portions 13 and 23 have a substantially C-shape that opens toward the handle region 30 side. The locking portions 13 and 23 include folded portions 13a and 23a extending downward from one end portions 11a and 21a of the plate-shaped portions 11 and 21, and a tip portion of the folded portions 13a and 23a toward the handle region 30 side. The claw gripping portions 13b and 23b are extended from above. In this embodiment, the claw holding part 13b has a longer extension length than the claw holding part 23b.

本実施形態では、係止部１３，２３は板状部１１，２１の裏面１１ｄ，２１ｄ側に設けられている。ただし、係止部１３，２３の一方もしくは両方が、板状部１１，２１の上面１１ｃ，２１ｃ側に設けられていても構わない。 In this embodiment, the locking portions 13 and 23 are provided on the back surfaces 11d and 21d of the plate-like portions 11 and 21. However, one or both of the locking portions 13, 23 may be provided on the upper surfaces 11c, 21c side of the plate-like portions 11, 21.

折返し部１３ａ，２３ａは内向き（持ち手部領域３０側）に湾曲した形状を有している。また、爪挟持部１３ｂ，２３ｂは上向きに湾曲した形状を有している。このように、係止部１３，２３の外周面は丸みを帯びている。これにより、係止部１３，２３は、爪側部１０２に取り付けられたときに指１１０の皮膚を傷つけることを防止できる。なお、本実施形態では、折返し部１３ａ，２３ａの外周面は、一部分が正面視で直線状であるが、全体が湾曲した形状であっても構わない。 The folded portions 13a, 23a have a shape curved inward (toward the handle region 30 side). Moreover, the claw holding parts 13b and 23b have an upwardly curved shape. In this way, the outer peripheral surfaces of the locking portions 13 and 23 are rounded. This prevents the locking parts 13 and 23 from damaging the skin of the finger 110 when attached to the nail side part 102. In the present embodiment, the outer circumferential surfaces of the folded portions 13a and 23a are partially linear in a front view, but may be entirely curved.

また、爪挟持部１３ｂ，２３ｂは、係止部１３，２３の開口部１３ｄ，２３ｄ（爪挟持先端部１３ｃ，２３ｃと板状部１１，２１の裏面１１ｄ，２１ｄとの間の隙間）側が爪挟持部１３ｂ，２３ｂ側の隙間よりも狭くなるようにして配置されている。開口部１３ｄ，２３ｄの隙間は例えば０．９ｍｍ程度である。 Further, the claw holding parts 13b, 23b have the openings 13d, 23d of the locking parts 13, 23 (the gap between the claw holding tips 13c, 23c and the back surfaces 11d, 21d of the plate-like parts 11, 21) facing the claws. The gap is arranged so as to be narrower than the gap between the holding parts 13b and 23b. The gap between the openings 13d and 23d is, for example, about 0.9 mm.

開口部１３ｄ，２３ｄの隙間よりも厚みが大きい爪側部１０２に係止部１３，２３を取り付けたとき、係止部１３，２３が弾性変形して開口部１３ｄ，２３ｄが広がる。そして、爪挟持先端部１３ｃ，２３ｃと板状部１１，２１の裏面１１ｄ，２１ｄとで爪側部１０２を挟持する。これにより、係止部１３，２３が爪１００に保持されやすくなり、作業性が向上する。 When the locking portions 13, 23 are attached to the claw side portion 102 which is thicker than the gap between the openings 13d, 23d, the locking portions 13, 23 are elastically deformed and the openings 13d, 23d widen. Then, the claw side portion 102 is held between the claw holding tips 13c, 23c and the back surfaces 11d, 21d of the plate-like portions 11, 21. This makes it easier for the locking parts 13 and 23 to be held by the claws 100, improving workability.

図３等から分かるように、第１係止部１３は、第１板状部１１の長さＬ１（図１参照）よりも短く形成されている。第１係止部１３の折返し部１３ａは第１板状部１１の一端部１１ａの長さ方向中央部に連設している。折返し部１３ａは、長さ方向の両端部それぞれに切欠き部１３ｅが形成されて、爪挟持部１３ｂよりも短くなっている。 As can be seen from FIG. 3 and the like, the first locking portion 13 is formed shorter than the length L1 of the first plate-like portion 11 (see FIG. 1). The folded portion 13a of the first locking portion 13 is continuous with the central portion in the length direction of the one end portion 11a of the first plate-like portion 11. The folded portion 13a has cutout portions 13e formed at both ends in the length direction, and is shorter than the claw holding portion 13b.

爪矯正具１の第１矯正具領域１０を爪１００に装着する際、まず、接着剤を塗布した第１係止部１３の爪挟持部１３ｂを爪側部１０２の爪先１０４（フリーエッジとも呼ばれる）の裏面側に差し込んで、第１係止部１３を爪側部１０２に接着する。同時に、第１板状部１１の一端部１１ａ寄りの部分を爪表面１０１に接着する。第１板状部１１は長さＬ１が第１係止部１３の長さよりも長いので、爪挟持部１３ｂを爪先１０４の奥まで差し込んだ状態で、第１板状部１１を爪挟持部１３ｂよりも爪根側で爪表面１０１に接着できる。 When attaching the first corrector area 10 of the nail corrector 1 to the nail 100, first, the nail holding part 13b of the first locking part 13 coated with adhesive is attached to the toe tip 104 (also called free edge) of the nail side part 102. ) and glue the first locking part 13 to the claw side part 102. At the same time, a portion of the first plate-shaped portion 11 near the one end 11a is adhered to the nail surface 101. Since the length L1 of the first plate-like part 11 is longer than the length of the first locking part 13, when the claw holding part 13b is inserted deep into the toe 104, the first plate-like part 11 is inserted into the claw holding part 13b. It can be adhered to the nail surface 101 on the nail root side.

また、第１板状部１１をより爪根側に配置したいときには、第１係止部１３の一部分を切り取ることで対応可能である。第１係止部１３の折返し部１３ａには切欠き部１３ｅが形成されているので、切欠き部１３ｅに対峙する爪挟持部１３ｂ部分をニッパー等で切り取ることで、第１係止部１３の長さを短くできる。このように、第１係止部１３に切欠き部１３ｅを設けることで、第１係止部１３の長さを短くするときの作業性が向上する。 Furthermore, when it is desired to arrange the first plate-like portion 11 closer to the nail root side, this can be done by cutting off a portion of the first locking portion 13. Since a cutout portion 13e is formed in the folded portion 13a of the first locking portion 13, the portion of the claw holding portion 13b facing the cutout portion 13e is cut out using nippers or the like, and the first locking portion 13 is The length can be shortened. In this way, by providing the notch portion 13e in the first locking portion 13, the workability when shortening the length of the first locking portion 13 is improved.

また、折返し部１３ａの長さを爪挟持部１３ｂよりも短くすることで、第１板状部１１と爪挟持部１３ｂとが対峙する領域長さを確保しながら、折返し部１３ａを弾性変形しやすくできる。これにより、第１係止部１３を爪１００の爪側部１０２に接着する際に爪裏面１０３と爪挟持部１３ｂとの接合面積を確保できるとともに、第１係止部１３（折返し部１３ａ）の破損を防止できる。 Furthermore, by making the length of the folded part 13a shorter than the claw holding part 13b, the folded part 13a can be elastically deformed while ensuring the length of the area where the first plate-shaped part 11 and the claw holding part 13b face each other. It's easy to do. Thereby, when bonding the first locking part 13 to the nail side part 102 of the nail 100, a bonding area between the nail back surface 103 and the nail holding part 13b can be secured, and the first locking part 13 (folded part 13a) can be secured. damage can be prevented.

なお、折返し部１３ａの長さは爪挟持部１３ｂの長さと同じであっても構わない。また、折返し部１３ａ及び爪挟持部１３ｂの長さは第１板状部１１の長さＬ１と同じであっても構わない。また、爪挟持部１３ｂの長さは、折返し部１３ａよりも短くても構わない。 Note that the length of the folded portion 13a may be the same as the length of the claw holding portion 13b. Further, the lengths of the folded portion 13a and the claw holding portion 13b may be the same as the length L1 of the first plate-like portion 11. Further, the length of the claw holding portion 13b may be shorter than the folded portion 13a.

図２からわかるように、本実施形態では、第１係止部１３の折返し部１３ａは第１板状部１１及び爪挟持部１３ｂよりも薄く形成されている。これにより、第１係止部１３を爪側部１０２に取り付けたときに、爪側部１０２の側端面に取り付く折返し部１３ａが指の皮膚を圧迫する力を小さくできる。したがって、第１矯正具領域１０を爪１００に取り付けた後の違和感や痛みを抑制できる。また、折返し部１３ａを薄くすることで弾性変形しやすくなるので、第１係止部１３を弾性変形させて爪側部１０２に取り付けるときの作業性が向上する。 As can be seen from FIG. 2, in this embodiment, the folded portion 13a of the first locking portion 13 is formed thinner than the first plate portion 11 and the claw holding portion 13b. Thereby, when the first locking part 13 is attached to the nail side part 102, the force with which the folded part 13a attached to the side end surface of the nail side part 102 presses the skin of the finger can be reduced. Therefore, discomfort and pain after attaching the first corrector region 10 to the nail 100 can be suppressed. Further, by making the folded portion 13a thinner, it becomes easier to elastically deform, so that workability when elastically deforming the first locking portion 13 and attaching it to the claw side portion 102 is improved.

なお、折返し部１３ａの厚みは、爪挟持部１３ｂと同じであっても構わないし、爪挟持部１３ｂよりも厚くても構わない。また、折返し部１３ａ及び爪挟持部１３ｂの厚みは、第１板状部１１と同じであっても構わないし、第１板状部１１よりも薄くても厚くても構わない。 Note that the thickness of the folded portion 13a may be the same as that of the claw holding portion 13b, or may be thicker than the claw holding portion 13b. Further, the thickness of the folded portion 13a and the claw holding portion 13b may be the same as that of the first plate-like portion 11, or may be thinner or thicker than the first plate-like portion 11.

図４等から分かるように、第２係止部２３は、第２板状部２１の長さＬ２（図１参照）と同じ長さに形成されている。第２矯正具領域２０は、第２板状部２１及び第２係止部２３の長さが、第１矯正具領域１０の第１板状部１１及び第１係止部１３に比べて短いので、例えば爪先１０４の巻き爪状態を局所的に解消したいときに使用できる。 As can be seen from FIG. 4 and other figures, the second locking portion 23 is formed to have the same length as the length L2 of the second plate-like portion 21 (see FIG. 1). In the second correction tool area 20, the lengths of the second plate part 21 and the second locking part 23 are shorter than those of the first plate part 11 and the first locking part 13 of the first correction tool area 10. Therefore, it can be used, for example, when it is desired to locally eliminate the ingrown toenail condition of the toe 104.

このように、本実施形態の爪矯正具１は目的に応じて第１矯正具領域１０と第２矯正具領域２０とを使い分けできるので汎用性が高い。なお、第１係止部１３と第２係止部２３は、形状や大きさが同じであっても構わない。また、第１板状部１１と第２板状部２１は形状や大きさが同じであっても構わない。 In this way, the nail correction tool 1 of this embodiment has high versatility because the first correction tool region 10 and the second correction tool region 20 can be used properly depending on the purpose. Note that the first locking portion 13 and the second locking portion 23 may have the same shape and size. Further, the first plate portion 11 and the second plate portion 21 may have the same shape and size.

図１～図８に示すように、持ち手部領域３０は、その上面に上向き凸状の持ち手部３１を備えている。これにより、爪矯正具１を装着作業する者（以下、使用者という）が矯正具領域１０又は２０を爪１００に取り付ける際に、持ち手部領域３０を指で挟んで持つことで爪矯正具１を保持しやすくなるとともに矯正具領域１０，２０に力を伝えやすくなり、作業性が向上する。なお、持ち手部領域３０の一部分を第１矯正具領域１０及び第２矯正具領域２０の一部分として使用することも可能である。 As shown in FIGS. 1 to 8, the handle region 30 includes an upwardly convex handle portion 31 on its upper surface. As a result, when a person (hereinafter referred to as a user) who installs the nail correction device 1 attaches the correction device region 10 or 20 to the nail 100, the user can hold the nail correction device by pinching the handle region 30 between his or her fingers. 1 becomes easier to hold, and it becomes easier to transmit force to the correction tool regions 10 and 20, improving workability. Note that it is also possible to use a part of the handle region 30 as a part of the first orthodontic tool region 10 and the second orthodontic tool region 20.

本実施形態では、持ち手部領域３０は、板状部１１，２１の他端部１１ｂ，２１ｂから持ち手部３１の中央部位３１ａに向けて上向き凸状になるように上面が湾曲している。持ち手部領域３０の最も厚い部分の寸法は例えば０．９ｍｍ程度である。持ち手部領域３０の平面形状は、第１板状部１１に連続する端部から第２板状部２１に連続する端部にかけて湾曲しながら窄まったロート状の形態を有している。 In the present embodiment, the upper surface of the handle region 30 is curved so as to be convex upward from the other ends 11b, 21b of the plate-like parts 11, 21 toward the central region 31a of the handle part 31. . The dimension of the thickest portion of the handle region 30 is, for example, about 0.9 mm. The planar shape of the handle region 30 has a funnel-like shape that is curved and narrowed from the end continuous with the first plate-like part 11 to the end continuous with the second plate-like part 21 .

持ち手部３１の第１板状部１１側の部分は、長さ方向（長さＬ１，Ｌ２に沿った方向）の中央部位３１ａが上向きに盛り上がって肉厚に形成され、長さ方向の端寄り部位３１ｂは中央部位３１ａよりも薄く形成されている。端寄り部位３１ｂは平面視で略三角形の形態を有する。持ち手部３１の第２矯正具寄り部位３１ｃは中央部位３１ａに向けてゆるやかに盛り上がっている。 The portion of the handle portion 31 on the first plate-like portion 11 side has a central portion 31a in the length direction (direction along the lengths L1 and L2) that swells upward to be thick, and the end portion in the length direction The closer portion 31b is formed thinner than the central portion 31a. The end portion 31b has a substantially triangular shape in plan view. A portion 31c of the handle portion 31 closer to the second correction tool is gently raised toward the center portion 31a.

爪矯正具１を保持する際に、例えば親指の腹を持ち手部３１の上面に当てるとともに人差し指の腹又は中節部を持ち手部領域３０の裏面に当てて持ち手部領域３０を挟持できる。持ち手部３１は、爪１００への爪矯正具１の接着作業、爪１００に矯正力を与える作業などにおける操作性を向上できる。 When holding the nail correction tool 1, the handle region 30 can be held by, for example, placing the pad of the thumb on the top surface of the handle portion 31 and the pad or middle phalanx of the index finger against the back surface of the handle region 30. . The handle portion 31 can improve operability in the work of adhering the nail correction tool 1 to the nail 100, the work of applying a correction force to the nail 100, and the like.

なお、持ち手部領域３０や持ち手部３１の形状や寸法は、持ち手部３１が上面に上向き凸状の形態を有する構成であれば、特に限定されない。また、持ち手部領域３０は、板状部１１，２１よりも肉厚に形成されている構成に限定されない。例えば、持ち手部領域３０は、板状部１１，２１と同じ厚み又はそれらよりも薄い厚みで、上向きに凸状に折れ曲がった又は膨出した持ち手部３１を備えている構成であっても構わない。 Note that the shapes and dimensions of the handle area 30 and the handle part 31 are not particularly limited as long as the handle part 31 has an upwardly convex shape on its upper surface. Moreover, the handle area 30 is not limited to a configuration in which it is formed thicker than the plate-like parts 11 and 21. For example, the handle area 30 may have the same thickness as the plate-like parts 11 and 21 or a thickness thinner than them, and may include a handle part 31 that is bent or bulged in an upwardly convex shape. I do not care.

また、爪矯正具１の第１矯正具領域１０は、爪１００に取り付ける前に余剰部分をニッパーやカッターなどの切断工具で切断及び除去可能である。そして第１矯正具領域１０の一部分を切断する際に、持ち手部領域３０の一部分を除去しても構わない。この場合、中央部位３１ａよりも薄い端寄り部位３１ｂを切断するようにすれば、切断作業が容易になる。 Further, before attaching the first corrector region 10 of the nail corrector 1 to the nail 100, the excess portion can be cut and removed using a cutting tool such as nippers or a cutter. When cutting a portion of the first corrector region 10, a portion of the handle region 30 may be removed. In this case, cutting the end portion 31b, which is thinner than the center portion 31a, facilitates the cutting operation.

図２等からわかるように、爪矯正具１は、正面視で上向き凸状に湾曲している。本実施形態では、正面視で板状部１１，２１の一端部１１ａ，２１ａが持ち手部領域３０の裏面よりも下側に位置する程度に、板状部１１，２１がゆるやかに下向きに湾曲している。これにより、係止部１３又は２３を固定した爪側部１０２を持ち上げる際に、爪矯正具１を爪表面１０１側へ巻き込み操作しやすくなり、作業性が向上する。なお、爪矯正具１は、下面が正面視で直線状であっても構わないし、下向き凸状に湾曲していても構わない。 As can be seen from FIG. 2 and other figures, the nail correction tool 1 is curved in an upwardly convex shape when viewed from the front. In this embodiment, the plate-like parts 11, 21 are gently curved downward to the extent that the one ends 11a, 21a of the plate-like parts 11, 21 are located below the back surface of the handle area 30 when viewed from the front. are doing. Thereby, when lifting the nail side part 102 to which the locking part 13 or 23 is fixed, the nail correction tool 1 can be easily rolled into the nail surface 101 side, improving work efficiency. Note that the lower surface of the nail correction tool 1 may be linear in a front view, or may be curved in a downwardly convex shape.

次に、図９及び図１０も参照しながら、爪矯正具１を使用して被装着者の爪１００を矯正する工程例について説明する。ここでは、被装着者の足の爪１００（例えば親指）に第１矯正具領域１０を取り付ける例を説明する。 Next, an example of a process for correcting the wearer's nail 100 using the nail correction tool 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10. Here, an example will be described in which the first corrector region 10 is attached to a toenail 100 (for example, a thumb) of a wearer.

まず、使用者は、爪表面１０１に爪矯正具１を当てて取付位置を確認し、第１矯正具領域１０の爪挟持部１３ｂを切断除去する範囲を決める。例えば、使用者からみて左側（被装着者から見て右側）の爪側部１０２に第１係止部１３を取り付けるあたり、必要に応じて爪１００の爪根側に位置する爪挟持部１３ｂを切断除去する（図１０（１）の背面図のカット位置参照）。爪１００の爪根側の爪挟持部１３ｂを除去することで、第１係止部１３を爪先１０４の奥まで差し込むことができ、第１板状部１１と爪１００とが重なる面積を増加できる。 First, the user places the nail correction tool 1 on the nail surface 101, confirms the attachment position, and determines the range of the first correction tool area 10 in which the nail holding part 13b is to be cut and removed. For example, when attaching the first locking part 13 to the claw side part 102 on the left side as seen from the user (right side as seen from the wearer), the claw holding part 13b located on the nail base side of the claw 100 may be attached as necessary. Cut and remove (see the cut position in the rear view of FIG. 10(1)). By removing the nail holding part 13b on the nail base side of the nail 100, the first locking part 13 can be inserted deep into the nail tip 104, and the area where the first plate-like part 11 and the nail 100 overlap can be increased. .

第１係止部１３では、折返し部１３ａの端部に切欠き部１３ｅが形成されているので、折返し部１３ａを切断することなく爪挟持部１３ｂをニッパー等で切断でき、切断作業性を向上できるともに切断作業時間を短縮できる。図１～図７等に示すように、爪矯正具１は、折返し部１３ａの前後両端部それぞれに切欠き部１３ｅを備えている。そして、使用者は、使用者からみて右側の爪側部１０２に第１係止部１３を取り付ける際に、図１０（１）のカット位置とは反対の爪挟持部１３ｂ端部の切断作業を容易かつ迅速に行える。このように、第１矯正具領域１０は左右を問わずに使用でき、汎用性が高い。 In the first locking part 13, the notch part 13e is formed at the end of the folded part 13a, so the claw holding part 13b can be cut with nippers or the like without cutting the folded part 13a, improving cutting work efficiency. At the same time, cutting time can be shortened. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 7, etc., the nail correction tool 1 includes notches 13e at both front and rear ends of the folded portion 13a. Then, when attaching the first locking part 13 to the claw side part 102 on the right side as viewed from the user, the user cuts the end of the claw holding part 13b opposite to the cutting position shown in FIG. 10(1). Easy and quick. In this way, the first correction tool region 10 can be used regardless of whether it is left or right, and has high versatility.

なお、爪挟持部１３ｂを切断するにあたり、爪挟持部１３ｂのうち、切欠き部１３ｅと幅方向で重なる部分の全部を切断除去しても構わないし、切欠き部１３ｅと幅方向で重なる部分を残すように長さ方向の端部側を切断除去しても構わない。また、折返し部１３ａの部位うち爪１００の爪根側に位置する端部寄り部位を第１板状部１１から切断除去して、第１板状部１１と爪１００とが重なる面積を増加させるようにしても構わない。 In addition, when cutting the claw holding part 13b, the entire part of the claw holding part 13b that overlaps with the notch part 13e in the width direction may be cut and removed, or the part that overlaps with the notch part 13e in the width direction may be removed. The ends in the length direction may be cut and removed so as to remain intact. Also, among the parts of the folded portion 13a, a portion near the end located on the nail root side of the claw 100 is cut and removed from the first plate-shaped portion 11 to increase the area where the first plate-shaped portion 11 and the claw 100 overlap. It doesn't matter if you do it like this.

次に、第１係止部１３の内部と第１板状部１１の裏面１１ｄの一端部１１ａ寄り部位に接着剤１２１を塗布する。そして、第１係止部１３を爪側部１０２に嵌め込んで接着固定するとともに、第１板状部１１の一端部１１ａ寄り部位を爪表面１０１に接着固定する（図１０（２）参照）。接着剤１２１としては、１液タイプや２液タイプ、紫外線硬化タイプなど、種々のものを使用でき、例えば付け爪用の接着剤を使用できる。 Next, an adhesive 121 is applied to the inside of the first locking part 13 and to a portion of the back surface 11d of the first plate-like part 11 near the one end 11a. Then, the first locking part 13 is fitted into the claw side part 102 and fixed with adhesive, and the part near the one end 11a of the first plate-shaped part 11 is fixed with adhesive to the claw surface 101 (see FIG. 10 (2)). . Various adhesives can be used as the adhesive 121, such as a one-liquid type, a two-liquid type, and an ultraviolet curing type. For example, an adhesive for artificial nails can be used.

次に、使用者は、持ち手部３１を挟持し、爪矯正具１を引っ張り上げて爪側部１０２を指１１０から離間させ、爪１００を矯正する（図１０（３）を参照）。このとき、第１係止部１３が爪側部１０２に固着しているだけでなく、第１板状部１１の一端部１１ａ寄り部位が爪表面１０１に固着している、特に第１係止部１３よりも爪根側で一端部１１ａ寄り部位が爪表面１０１に固着しているので、爪側部１０２に加わる応力を分散できる。これにより、指１１０の痛みや爪１００の破損を抑制できる。 Next, the user holds the handle portion 31 and pulls up the nail correction tool 1 to separate the nail side portion 102 from the finger 110, thereby correcting the nail 100 (see FIG. 10(3)). At this time, not only the first locking part 13 is fixed to the claw side part 102, but also the part near the one end 11a of the first plate-shaped part 11 is fixed to the claw surface 101, especially the first locking part 13 is fixed to the claw side part 102. Since the portion closer to the one end 11a on the nail base side than the portion 13 is fixed to the nail surface 101, stress applied to the nail side portion 102 can be dispersed. Thereby, pain in the finger 110 and damage to the nail 100 can be suppressed.

使用者は、爪１００の形状をある程度整えた後、第１板状部１１の裏面１１ｄと爪表面１０１との少なくとも一方に接着剤１２２を塗布する。接着剤１２２としては、例えば接着剤１２１と同じものを使用できる。そして、爪矯正具１を湾曲させる方向へ操作して、爪１００の形状を整えながら、爪表面１０１に第１板状部１１を貼り付ける（図２（ｄ）参照）。このとき、持ち手部領域３０の裏面を爪表面１０１に接着して、持ち手部領域３０を矯正具領域の一部として使用しても構わない。 After adjusting the shape of the nail 100 to some extent, the user applies adhesive 122 to at least one of the back surface 11d of the first plate-shaped portion 11 and the nail surface 101. As the adhesive 122, for example, the same adhesive as the adhesive 121 can be used. Then, the nail straightener 1 is operated in the direction of curving the nail 100, and the first plate-shaped portion 11 is attached to the nail surface 101 while adjusting the shape of the nail 100 (see FIG. 2(d)). At this time, the back surface of the handle area 30 may be adhered to the nail surface 101 and the handle area 30 may be used as part of the corrector area.

その後、爪１００に取り付けた第１矯正具領域１０の形状を整えるように爪矯正具１を切断する（図９参照）。第１矯正具領域１０から切り離された第２矯正具領域２０は爪矯正具として使用できる。このとき、第２矯正具領域２０に持ち手部３１（少なくとも第２矯正具寄り部位３１ｃ）が連続しているように爪矯正具１を切断することが好ましい。なお、図９に示した切断位置（カット位置）は一例であり、爪１００に取り付けた第１矯正具領域１０の位置や傾きなどに応じて適宜変更可能である。 Thereafter, the nail corrector 1 is cut to adjust the shape of the first corrector region 10 attached to the nail 100 (see FIG. 9). The second corrector region 20 separated from the first corrector region 10 can be used as a nail corrector. At this time, it is preferable to cut the nail correction tool 1 so that the handle portion 31 (at least the second correction tool closer portion 31c) is continuous with the second correction tool region 20. Note that the cutting position shown in FIG. 9 is an example, and can be changed as appropriate depending on the position, inclination, etc. of the first correction tool region 10 attached to the nail 100.

そして、爪１００に取り付けた第１矯正具領域１０（及び持ち手部領域３０）の端縁部を削ったり厚みを調整したりして、爪１００に沿った形に整えるとともに、引っ掛かりや違和感が無いように整える。必要に応じて、爪表面１０１にジェルを塗布する等の仕上げを行う。これにより、取付作業が完了する。 Then, the edges of the first orthodontic tool region 10 (and handle region 30) attached to the nail 100 are shaved or the thickness is adjusted to shape the shape along the nail 100, and to avoid catching or discomfort. Arrange it so that it doesn't exist. If necessary, finishing such as applying gel to the nail surface 101 is performed. This completes the installation work.

上記取付け工程例のように、爪矯正具１は、一体に形成された第１矯正具領域１０と第２矯正具領域２０のうち第１矯正具領域１０を爪１００に取り付けた後、第２矯正具領域２０を切り離すことで、矯正具領域１０，２０それぞれを爪矯正具として使用できる。したがって、爪矯正具１は、無駄を少なくでき、爪矯正具として使用できる部分の１つ当たりの製造コストを低減できる。 As in the above attachment process example, the nail corrector 1 is constructed by attaching the first corrector region 10 of the integrally formed first corrector region 10 and second corrector region 20 to the nail 100; By separating the corrector region 20, each of the corrector regions 10 and 20 can be used as a nail corrector. Therefore, the nail correction tool 1 can reduce waste and reduce the manufacturing cost per part that can be used as a nail correction tool.

なお、第２矯正具領域２０の爪１００への取付け工程は、上記第１矯正具領域１０の取付け工程例と同様に行える。また、爪矯正具１の第２矯正具領域２０を爪１００へ取り付けた後、爪矯正具１から第１矯正具領域１０を切り離すようにしても構わない。 Note that the process of attaching the second corrector region 20 to the claw 100 can be performed in the same manner as the example of the attaching process of the first corrector region 10 described above. Further, after the second corrector region 20 of the nail corrector 1 is attached to the nail 100, the first corrector region 10 may be separated from the nail corrector 1.

爪矯正具１は、係止部１３，２３の外周面が丸みを帯びているので、爪１００への矯正具領域１０，２０の取付け作業中及び取付け後に、係止部１３，２３が指１１０に接触しても痛くない。また、係止部１３，２３の爪挟持先端部１３ｃ，２３ｃは板状部１１，２１の裏面１１ｄ，２１ｄに向かって延びている。これにより、係止部１３，２３を爪裏面１０３に取り付けた状態で、爪挟持先端部１３ｃ，２３ｃは、爪裏面１０３に接触する、又は少なくとも爪裏面１０３側に向く。したがって、爪挟持先端部１３ｃ，２３ｃが指１１０に刺さるのを防止でき、安全性を向上できる。 In the nail correction tool 1, since the outer peripheral surfaces of the locking parts 13 and 23 are rounded, the locking parts 13 and 23 are attached to the finger 110 during and after the installation work of the correction tool regions 10 and 20 to the nail 100. It doesn't hurt if you touch it. Further, the claw-clamping tips 13c, 23c of the locking parts 13, 23 extend toward the back surfaces 11d, 21d of the plate-like parts 11, 21. Thereby, with the locking parts 13, 23 attached to the back surface 103 of the nail, the claw gripping tips 13c, 23c come into contact with the back surface 103 of the nail, or at least face toward the back surface 103 of the nail. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the claw gripping tips 13c, 23c from getting stuck in the finger 110, and safety can be improved.

なお、係止部１３，２３の形状及び大きさは適宜変更可能である。例えば、係止部１３，２３は、外周面が角部を有する構成であっても構わない。また、係止部１３，２３は、爪側部１０２に固定し得る形状であればよい。 Note that the shape and size of the locking portions 13 and 23 can be changed as appropriate. For example, the locking portions 13 and 23 may have a configuration in which the outer circumferential surface has a corner portion. Moreover, the locking parts 13 and 23 may have any shape as long as they can be fixed to the claw side part 102.

例えば、図１１及び図１２に示すように、爪矯正具１Ａの係止部１３Ａ，２３Ａは、板状部１１，２１の一端部１１ａ，２１ａから下向き（上向きでも良い）に延出した形態であっても構わない。この実施形態の爪矯正具１Ａの係止部１３Ａ，２３Ａ以外の各部の構成は、図１～図８を参照して説明した上記実施形態の爪矯正具１と同様である。 For example, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the locking portions 13A and 23A of the nail correction tool 1A extend downward (or upward) from one end portions 11a and 21a of the plate-like portions 11 and 21. It doesn't matter if there is. The structure of each part of the nail corrector 1A of this embodiment other than the locking parts 13A and 23A is the same as that of the nail corrector 1 of the above embodiment described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 8.

この係止部１３Ａ，２３Ａは、正面視で爪矯正具１の中央部（持ち手部領域３０側）に向けて凹状に湾曲した形態を有し、その湾曲形状の内側に爪側部１０２の端部を位置合わせしやすい形状になっている。なお、係止部１３Ａ，２３Ａは、正面視で直線状であっても構わない。 The locking portions 13A, 23A have a concavely curved shape toward the center portion (handle region 30 side) of the nail corrector 1 when viewed from the front, and the nail side portion 102 is formed inside the curved shape. The shape makes it easy to align the ends. Note that the locking portions 13A and 23A may have a straight shape when viewed from the front.

また、上記実施形態の爪矯正具１は、第１矯正具領域１０、持ち手部領域３０及び第２矯正具領域２０が平面視で直線状に配列されているが、例えば、平面視でＬ字状、くの字状又はＶ字状に配置されていても構わない。また、爪矯正具１は、第１矯正具領域１０と第２矯正具領域２０との間に持ち手部領域３０が介在しているが、第１板状部１１の他端部１１ｂと第２板状部２１の他端部２１ｂとが隣接していても構わない。また、爪矯正具１に、３つ以上の矯正具領域が設けられていても構わない。 Further, in the nail correction tool 1 of the above embodiment, the first correction tool region 10, the handle region 30, and the second correction tool region 20 are arranged linearly in a plan view. They may be arranged in a letter shape, a dogleg shape, or a V shape. Further, in the nail corrector 1, the handle area 30 is interposed between the first corrector area 10 and the second corrector area 20, but the other end 11b of the first plate-shaped part 11 The other end portion 21b of the two plate-shaped portions 21 may be adjacent to each other. Further, the nail corrector 1 may be provided with three or more corrector areas.

例えば図１３に示すように、爪矯正具１Ｂは、持ち手部領域３０に対して第１矯正具領域１０とは反対側に２つの第２矯正具領域２０が設けられていても構わない。本実施形態では、持ち手部３１の第２矯正具寄り部位３１ｃが爪矯正具１Ｂの長さ方向（紙面上下方向）に間隔をあけて二股状に分かれている。そして、第２矯正具寄り部位３１ｃそれぞれに、爪矯正具１Ｂの幅方向（紙面左右方向）に延びる第２矯正具領域２０が連結されている。 For example, as shown in FIG. 13, the nail corrector 1B may have two second corrector regions 20 provided on the side opposite to the first corrector region 10 with respect to the handle region 30. In the present embodiment, the second correction tool closer portion 31c of the handle portion 31 is divided into two parts at an interval in the length direction of the nail correction tool 1B (vertical direction in the drawing). A second corrector region 20 extending in the width direction of the nail corrector 1B (in the left-right direction in the drawing) is connected to each of the second corrector-approaching parts 31c.

爪矯正具１Ｂにおける矯正具領域１０，２０及び持ち手部領域３０の各部の形態は、上記実施形態の爪矯正具１と同様である。このように、一体形成された１つの爪矯正具１Ｂに３つ以上の矯正具領域１０，２０が設けられていることで、無駄をさらに少なくでき、爪矯正具として使用できる部分の１つ当たりの製造コストを低減できる。 The shapes of the corrector regions 10 and 20 and the handle region 30 in the nail corrector 1B are the same as those of the nail corrector 1 of the above embodiment. In this way, by providing three or more corrector areas 10, 20 in one integrally formed nail corrector 1B, waste can be further reduced, and each part that can be used as a nail corrector is can reduce manufacturing costs.

なお、爪矯正具１Ｂは、矯正具領域１０，２０を爪１００に取り付ける前に、２つの第２矯正具領域２０を分割するように持ち手部領域３０（持ち手部３１の中央部位３１ａ）及び第１矯正具領域１０を幅方向に沿って切断されても構わない。これにより、第１矯正具領域１０の前後方向半部と第２矯正具領域２０とを有する２つの爪矯正具を形成できる。つまり、１つの爪矯正具１Ｂから４つの矯正具領域を形成でき、爪矯正具として使用できる部分の１つ当たりの製造コストをさらに低減できる。 Note that, before attaching the corrector regions 10 and 20 to the nail 100, the nail corrector 1B is configured such that the handle region 30 (center portion 31a of the handle portion 31) is divided into two second corrector regions 20. Also, the first corrector region 10 may be cut along the width direction. Thereby, two nail correction tools having the front-rear half of the first correction tool region 10 and the second correction tool region 20 can be formed. That is, four corrector regions can be formed from one nail corrector 1B, and the manufacturing cost per portion that can be used as a nail corrector can be further reduced.

なお、３つの矯正具領域１０，２０の配置は図１３に示したものに限定されず、例えば、平面視でＴ字状やＹ字状であっても構わない。また、２つの第２矯正具領域２０は、板状部２１の形状及び大きさと、第２係止部２３の形状及び大きさのうち少なくともいずれかが互いに異なっていても構わない。つまり、３つ以上の矯正具領域は、互いに形状及び大きさが異なっていても構わない。これにより、目的に応じた矯正具領域を選択的に使用でき、汎用性がさらに向上する。 Note that the arrangement of the three corrector regions 10 and 20 is not limited to that shown in FIG. 13, and may be, for example, T-shaped or Y-shaped in plan view. Furthermore, the two second correction tool regions 20 may have different shapes and sizes of the plate-like portions 21 and at least one of the shapes and sizes of the second locking portions 23. That is, the three or more corrector regions may have mutually different shapes and sizes. This allows selective use of areas of the corrector according to the purpose, further improving versatility.

次に、図１４～図１６を参考しながら、参考例の爪矯正具２００を説明する。爪矯正具２００は、図１～図８を参照して説明した爪矯正具１から、持ち手部領域３０の第２矯正具寄り部位３１ｃ及び第２矯正具領域２０が除去された構成を有する。すなわち、爪矯正具２００は、第１矯正具領域１０と持ち手部領域３０とを備えている。持ち手部領域３０は中央部位３１ａと一対の端寄り部位３１ｂを備えている。第１矯正具領域１０は第１板状部１１及び第１係止部１３を備えている。 Next, a reference example nail correction tool 200 will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 to 16. The nail correction tool 200 has a configuration in which the second correction tool region 31c of the handle region 30 and the second correction tool region 20 are removed from the nail correction tool 1 described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 8. . That is, the nail corrector 200 includes a first corrector region 10 and a handle region 30. The handle region 30 includes a central portion 31a and a pair of end portions 31b. The first corrector region 10 includes a first plate-shaped portion 11 and a first locking portion 13 .

本参考例の爪矯正具２００は、上記実施形態の爪矯正具１の第１矯正具領域１０と同じ機能及び作用を有する。したがって、爪矯正具２００は、爪矯正具１の第１矯正具領域１０と同じ作用及び効果を発揮できる。例えば、第１係止部１３の折返し部１３ａの前後方向両端部に切欠き部１３ｅが形成されているので、爪挟持部１３ｂの端部位を切断除去する際の容易性が向上する。 The nail correction tool 200 of this reference example has the same function and operation as the first correction tool area 10 of the nail correction tool 1 of the above embodiment. Therefore, the nail corrector 200 can exhibit the same function and effect as the first corrector region 10 of the nail corrector 1. For example, since the cutout portions 13e are formed at both ends in the front and rear direction of the folded portion 13a of the first locking portion 13, it is easier to cut and remove the end portions of the claw holding portions 13b.

以上、実施形態及び参考例を説明したが、本発明は、前述の実施形態に限らず、様々な態様に具体化できる。各部の構成は図示の実施形態に限定されるものではなく、本発明の趣旨を逸脱しない範囲で種々変更が可能である。例えば、前述した実施形態及び変形例（尚書き等）で説明した各構成を組み合わせてもよく、また、構成の付加、省略、置換、その他の変更が可能である。 Although the embodiments and reference examples have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, but can be embodied in various aspects. The configuration of each part is not limited to the illustrated embodiment, and various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, the configurations described in the above-described embodiments and modified examples (notes, etc.) may be combined, and configurations may be added, omitted, replaced, and other changes made.
