DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Hereinafter, artificial nails according to preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to accompanying drawings.
Embodiment 1 Referring to FIGS. 2 to 4, an artificial nail according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes an upper plate 200 having at least two cylindrical bosses 210, 210a, 210b, and 210c on the bottom surface thereof, and a lower plate having insert holes 110a, 120a, and 130a into which the
bosses 210 are inserted and fitted and being attached to the upper surface of a natural nail 1.
The number and position of the bosses 210 is not specifically limited, but as illustrated in the figures, in the first embodiment of the present invention, three bosses 210 are arranged at a central portion of the upper plate 200 along the lengthwise direction of the upper plate 200.
Meanwhile, the boss 210a located at the distal end 210a of the upper plate 200 and the insert holes 110a, 120a, and 130a coupled to the boss 210a are separated from the natural nail 1 and disposed on the front side. The distal end boss 210a is longer than the other bosses 210a and 210c so as to enhance the coupling force between the upper plate 200 and the lower plate 100. The bosses 210b and 210c other than the distal end boss 210a are located on the upper side of the natural nail so as not to pass through the lower plate 100.
Moreover, the lower plate 100 further includes a plurality of auxiliary holes HOb, 120b, 130b, HOc, 120c, and 130c spaced apart from the insert holes 110-a, 120a, and 130a. The auxiliary holes HOb, 120b, 130b, HOc, 120c, and 130c are designed to retreat the upper plate 200 as the natural nail 1 grows so that cuticles cannot be exposed and have the same inner diameter into which the bosses 210b and 210c can be inserted and fitted.
As shown in FIG. 3, expansion grooves 140 are formed on the bottom surface (the surface attached to the natural nail) of the lower plate 100 at ends of the insert holes and the auxiliary holes. According to the artificial nail of the present invention, the upper plate 200 and the lower plate 100 have resiliency to allow insertion coupling thereof. Accordingly, as shown in the enlarged portion of FIG. 6, when the boss 210c is engaged with the insert hole or the auxiliary holes, an end of the boss is inserted into the insertion hole or the auxiliary holes so as to prevent the boss from being loosely withdrawn from the insert hoLe or the auxiliary holes since the volume of the boss is relatively expanded in the expansion groove 140 rather than in the portions of the insert hole or the auxiliary holes, into which the boss is inserted and pressed (since the boss is a resilient body) . Further, since the distal end boss 210a passes through and is fitted into the insert ho Le 110a or the auxiliary holes 120a and 130a, a portion of the boss 210a which has passed through the insert hole 110a or the auxiliary holes L20a and 130a is also expanded so as to have a similar or same effect. That is, the expansion groove 140 is formed at the ends of the insert hole 110b and 110c and the auxiliary holes 120b, 130b, 120c, and 130c attached to the upper surface of the natural nail.
Meanwhile, the lower plate 100 is curved by a
predetermined curvature or has a sufficient resiliency so as to be attached to the upper surface of the natural nail and is attached to the upper surface of the natural nail by using a conventional adhesive as illustrated in FIG. 5. Therefore, it is preferable that the lower plate 100 is formed of a rubber or a synthetic resin.
Referring to FIG. 6, in the artificial nail according to the first embodiment of the present invention, an end of the lower plate 100 is separated from an end of the natural nail by a predetermine distance when attached to the natural nail, so that the distal end boss 210a is fixed to the front side of the natural nail. After the lower plate 100 is attached, the user presses the upper plate to insert the bosses into the corresponding insert hole or auxiliary holes and thereby complete the wearing operation.
According to the artificial nail of the first embodiment of the present invention, if the natural nail grows as the time passes by and then the lower plate 100 and the upper plate 200 are moved, the position of the upper plate can be adjusted by separating only the upper plate 200 and inserting the bosses at proper positions, with the lower plate 100 not being removed.
Embodiment 2
Referring to FIGS. 7 and 8, rectangular insert holes 150, 150a, 150b, and 150c having the major axes in the lengthwise
direction (the direction along which a natural nail 1 grows) of the upper plate 200 or the natural nail 1 are formed in the lower plate 100 of an artificial nail according to the second embodiment of the present invention. Hexahedral bosses 220, 220a, 220b, and 220c inserted and fitted into the insert holes 150 and slidable in the insert holes 150 are formed on the bottom surface of the upper plate.-
Furthermore, it is preferable that as in the first embodiment of the present invention, in the artificial nail according to the second embodiment of the present invention, the distal end boss 220a is engaged with the front side of the natural nail and has a length by which the insert hole 220a passes through.
According to the artificial nail of the second embodiment of the present invention, when the position of the upper plate 200 is adjusted as the natural nail grows, the upper plate 200 and the lower plate 100 are not separated from each other and the upper plate 200 is slid, with the upper plate 200 engaged with the lower plate 100. That is, the boss 220 is slid along the shape of the insert hole 220 when a force is applied to the upper plate 200 in the lengthwise direction of the upper plate 200, differently from the first embodiment of the present invention. Therefore, according to the artificial nail of the second embodiment of the present invention, the upper plate 200
can be moved more precisely than in the first embodiment of the present invention.
Embodiment 3
Referring to FIG. 9, in an artificial nail according to the third embodiment of the present invention, female screw threads 160, 160a, 160b, and 160c are formed on the inner surfaces of the insert hole 150 of a lower plate 100 and male screw threads engaged with the female screw threads are formed on the bosses of an upper plate. That is, the third embodiment of the present invention is constituted by forming the screw threads on the bosses and the insert holes.
Meanwhile, the screw threads can have various shapes and the effects of the threads can be varied according to the shapes of the screw threads.
As shown in FIG. 10, when conventional triangular screw threads are formed on the bosses and the insert holes, the bosses cannot be slid in the insert holes but the user can move the upper plate by a precisely determined length (the distance between adjacent screw threads) .
Meanwhile, as illustrated in FIG. 11, if the screw threads formed in the bosses and the insert holes are inclined to one side and have saw-tooth shapes, the upper plate 200 cannot be slid in the direction indicated by the arrow X but
can be slid in the direction indicated by the arrow O, so that a user can move the upper plate 200 by a predetermined length (the distance between adjacent screw threads)
Embodiment 4 As illustrated in FIGS. 12 and 13, according to an artificial nail of the fourth embodiment of the present invention, a lower plate 100 can be separated.
That is, as illustrated in FIG. 13, the lower plate 100 is separated so as to bifurcate the insert holes . Hinge holes 171a and 171b are formed at ends of the separated lower plates so as to fix the lower plates by a hinge pin 170, and protrusions 181a and 181b are formed at the other ends thereof so as to be inserted and fitted into a fixing tab 180.
In the state in which the fixing tab is separated from the lower plates 100, one end of the Lower plates 100 according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention is fixed and the other end thereof is rotatable so that the lower plates 100 can be moved like scissors. Accordingly, the lower plates can be engaged with upper plates havincj different diameters and having different bosses. Therefore, it is preferable that the fixing tab 180 has a resilient force so that the insert holes can be further expanded in correspondence to the bosses.
