Description

ネイルチップ製造システム、ネイルチップ製造方法Nail chip manufacturing system and nail chip manufacturing method
　本願発明は、爪に貼り付けて手などを装飾するいわゆるネイルチップであって、使用者の好みのデザインが付されたネイルチップを製造することができるネイルチップ製造システム、および、ネイルチップ製造方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a so-called nail chip that is attached to a nail to decorate a hand and the like, and a nail chip manufacturing system capable of manufacturing a nail chip with a user's favorite design, and a nail chip manufacturing method About.
　近年、好みのデザインが付されたネイルチップを使用者の手指の爪に貼り付けて装飾することが広く行われている。従前は、ネイルサロン等と称される店舗において専門の技能を有する者によって手作業にてネイルチップが使用者の手指の爪に取り付けられ、筆などによって花などをあしらったデザインが手作業によって付されていた。 In recent years, it has been widely used to decorate a user's fingernail with a nail chip with a favorite design. In the past, nail tips were attached to the user's fingernails manually by a person with specialized skills in a store called a nail salon, etc. It had been.
　しかしながら、ネイルチップを手作業で取り付けてデザインを付する場合、相当の時間が必要となり、また、十分な費用が必要となるため、デザインが異なるネイルチップを頻繁に変更しておしゃれを楽しむことは容易ではなかった。 However, when attaching a design by manually attaching a nail tip, it takes a considerable amount of time, and it is necessary to pay a sufficient amount of money. It was not easy.
　そこで、使用者がデザインを任意に選択し、かつ、安価にネイルチップを製造するために、特許文献１には、ネイルチップに任意に選択されたデザインを印刷によって付する技術が記載されている。 Therefore, in order for the user to arbitrarily select a design and to manufacture a nail chip at a low cost, Patent Document 1 describes a technique for attaching a design arbitrarily selected to a nail chip by printing. .
　また、特許文献２には、使用者の爪の形に適合した三次元形状のネイルチップを製造し、当該三次元形状に適合したデザインを印刷によって付する技術が記載されている。 Patent Document 2 describes a technique for manufacturing a nail tip having a three-dimensional shape suitable for the shape of a user's nail and attaching a design suitable for the three-dimensional shape by printing.

　ところが、特許文献１には、使用者の爪の立体的な形状に適合するように事前に選定されたネイルチップを真空吸着により平坦となるように変形状態で固定し、当該平坦な状態のネイルチップにデザインを直接印刷する技術が記載されている。また、平面的なシールにデザインを印刷し、当該シールを立体的に湾曲したネイルチップに貼り付ける技術も記載されている。しかし、これらはいずれも印刷やシールによってネイルチップに付された平面的なデザインがネイルチップ本来の立体的に湾曲した形状に沿って変化した状態で使用されるため、製造されたネイルチップは、使用者が本来イメージしているデザインとは若干異なるネイルチップとなり、使用者に違和感を与えるものとなっている。 However, in Patent Document 1, a nail tip selected in advance so as to conform to the three-dimensional shape of the user's nail is fixed in a deformed state by vacuum suction so that the nail in the flat state is fixed. A technique for printing a design directly on a chip is described. There is also described a technique in which a design is printed on a planar seal and the seal is attached to a three-dimensionally curved nail chip. However, since these are used in a state in which the planar design attached to the nail chip by printing or sealing changes along the original three-dimensional curved shape, the manufactured nail chip is The nail chip is slightly different from the design that the user originally imagined, which gives the user a sense of incongruity.
　また、特許文献２には、使用者の爪の立体的な湾曲形状に適合したネイルチップを切削により製造し、製造されたネイルチップにインクジェット印刷装置を用いて印刷する技術が記載されている。しかし、ブロック状の樹脂板からネイルチップを切り出すことは相当の時間と費用とを要し、小指用のネイルチップなどは大きく湾曲しているため、当該大きく湾曲したネイルチップにインクジェット印刷装置を用いてデザインを美しく印刷することは非常に困難である。 Further, Patent Document 2 describes a technique in which a nail chip suitable for the three-dimensional curved shape of a user's nail is manufactured by cutting, and printing is performed on the manufactured nail chip using an inkjet printing apparatus. However, cutting out a nail chip from a block-shaped resin plate requires a considerable amount of time and money, and nail chips for little fingers are greatly curved, so an inkjet printing apparatus is used for the greatly curved nail chip. It is very difficult to print the design beautifully.
　本願発明は、上記課題に鑑みなされたものであり、使用者の爪の立体形状に適合し、かつ、爪に取り付けられた状態で使用者のイメージ通りのデザインとなるネイルチップを、比較的高速、かつ、比較的低い費用で製造することができるネイルチップ製造システムの提供を目的とする。 The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and a nail chip that conforms to the three-dimensional shape of the user's nails and is designed according to the user's image when attached to the nails is a relatively high speed.

In the case of the present embodiment, the matching unit 113 is incorporated in the nail chip manufacturing apparatus 101 that exists as an independent apparatus.
　具体的にマッチング部１１３は、デザイン情報を使用者Ａが希望する指（左右の手の親指、人差し指、中指、薬指、小指など）の爪に取り付けるネイルチップの形状にマッチングさせ、マッチングさせた情報を展開情報に基づき平面的なマッチング情報を作成する。つまり一具体例を説明すると、爪に取り付けられ湾曲した形状のネイルチップ上に現されたキャラクタを使用者が看取した場合に、ちょうど良い細さであると認識できるように作成されたデザインである場合、ネイルチップの曲率に応じて平面的にデザインを形成する場合には若干太めのキャラクタとなるようなマッチング情報をマッチング部１１３は作成する。 Specifically, the matching unit 113 matches the design information with the shape of the nail chip attached to the nail of the finger desired by the user A (the thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger, little finger, etc. of the left and right hands), and matched information Based on the expansion information, planar matching information is created. In other words, to explain one specific example, it is a design created so that the user can recognize that the character is just fine when the user sees the character shown on the curved nail chip attached to the nail. In some cases, the matching unit 113 creates matching information that results in a slightly thicker character when the design is formed in a planar manner according to the curvature of the nail chip.
　これにより、デザイン作成装置１０３などで作成された立体的なデザインと、実際に爪に取り付けられた際のネイルチップに現されたデザインとがほぼ一致し、使用者に与える違和感を抑制することが可能となる。 As a result, the three-dimensional design created by the design creation device 103 or the like and the design shown on the nail chip when actually attached to the nail substantially coincide with each other, thereby suppressing the uncomfortable feeling given to the user. It becomes possible.

Part. In the case of the present embodiment, the nail chip forming unit 111 is incorporated in a nail chip manufacturing apparatus 101 that exists as an independent apparatus.
　図５は、ネイルチップ製造装置を模式的に示す斜視図である。 FIG. 5 is a perspective view schematically showing a nail chip manufacturing apparatus.
　同図に示すようにネイルチップ製造装置１０１は、可撓性のある樹脂製のシート２０１上の所望の位置にインクや硬化性の樹脂を吐出してシート２０１上に平面的なデザインや、ネイルチップ表面から突出した部分を含むデザインを形成することができる装置である。また、ネイルチップ製造装置１０１は、シート２０１を切断、または、半切断することができる装置であり、ヘッド１１４と、シート２０１を支持するステージ１１５とを備えている。 As shown in the figure, the nail chip manufacturing apparatus 101 discharges ink or a curable resin to a desired position on a flexible resin sheet 201 to form a planar design or nail on the sheet 201. An apparatus capable of forming a design including a portion protruding from a chip surface. The nail chip manufacturing apparatus 101 is an apparatus capable of cutting or semi-cutting the sheet 201, and includes a head 114 and a stage 115 that supports the sheet 201.
　ヘッド１１４は、ジェットディスペンサなどと称される液体を液滴として吐出する複数の吐出手段（図示せず）、および、シート２０１を切断、または、半切断するカッター（図示せず）を備えている。また、ヘッド１１４は、装置基台１１６に支持されたヘッド移動装置１１７によって主走査方向（図５に示すＸ軸方向）に往復移動する。 The head 114 includes a plurality of discharge means (not shown) for discharging a liquid called a jet dispenser as droplets, and a cutter (not shown) for cutting or semi-cutting the sheet 201. . Further, the head 114 reciprocates in the main scanning direction (X-axis direction shown in FIG. 5) by the head moving device 117 supported on the device base 116.
　ステージ１１５は、樹脂製のシート２０１を平坦な状態で載置するとともに、静電気や真空吸着や端部の挟持によりシート２０１を保持するテーブルであり、装置基台１１６に支持されたステージ移動装置１１８によって副走査方向（図５に示すＹ軸方向）に往復移動するものとなっている。 The stage 115 is a table that places the resin sheet 201 in a flat state and holds the sheet 201 by static electricity, vacuum suction, or pinching of an end portion, and a stage moving device 118 supported by the apparatus base 116. Therefore, it reciprocates in the sub-scanning direction (Y-axis direction shown in FIG. 5).
　ネイルチップ製造装置１０１は、この構成によって、ヘッド１１４とステージ１１５上のシート２０１とを相対移動させながら、ヘッド１１４に備えられた吐出手段からシート２０１に向かってインクやコート用の樹脂、装飾用の光硬化樹脂などを吐出し、シート２０１上にマッチング情報に基づいたデザインを形成することができる装置である。また、ヘッド１１４に備えられたカッターによってマッチング情報に基づいた切断、または、半切断を行うことができる装置である。 With this configuration, the nail chip manufacturing apparatus 101 allows ink, coating resin, and decorative material to be moved from the ejection unit provided in the head 114 toward the sheet 201 while relatively moving the head 114 and the sheet 201 on the stage 115.
