Abstract
A nail lamp is configured to cure light-curable nail product on a user's nails. The lamp includes an array of discrete light sources with different light wavelength profiles. The different wavelength profiles are configured to, in combination, cure a light-curable nail product. A space is disposed beneath the array and is sized to accommodate therein the nails of an appendage of a user so as to expose the user's nails to light from the array. The space is substantially open to the ambient environment to the front, rear, left, right, and top of the space, thereby providing an open architecture.
Claims42
A nail lamp comprising:
- an array of discrete light sources, wherein at least one of the discrete light sources has a different light wavelength profile than at least one other of the discrete light sources, wherein the different wavelength profiles are configured to cure a light-curable nail product;
- and
- a space disposed beneath the array, the space being sized to accommodate therein at least one nail on an appendage of a user,
- wherein the array of discrete light sources is positioned relative to the space so as to expose the at least one nail to light from the at least one of the discrete light sources and from the at least one other of the discrete light sources.
A method of curing light-curable nail product using a nail lamp comprising an array of discrete light sources and a space disposed beneath the array, the method comprising:
- receiving at least one nail of a digit of an appendage of a human user in the space, the at least one nail having thereon uncured light-curable nail product;
- and
- exposing the light-curable nail product to light from a first one of the discrete light sources and light from a second one of the discrete light sources,
- wherein the light from the first one of the discrete light sources has a different light wavelength profile than the light from the second one of the discrete light sources,
- wherein said exposing light-cures the nail product.
A nail lamp comprising:
- a support having an operative position;
- a space disposed beneath the support when the support is in its operative position, the space being sized to accommodate therein at least four nails on an appendage of a user;
- and
- an array of one or more light sources supported by the support and configured to produce light that is configured to cure a light-curable nail product, the array of one or more light sources being positioned to direct the light onto the at least four nails when the user's appendage is in the space,
- wherein, when the support is in the operative position, the space is substantially open to an ambient environment to the front and rear of the space.
A method of curing light-curable nail product using a nail lamp that comprises a support, an array of one or more light sources connected to the support, and a space disposed beneath the array, the space being substantially open to an ambient environment to the front and rear of the space, the method comprising:
- receiving at least four nails on an appendage of a user in the space, the at least four nails having thereon uncured light-curable nail product;
- and
- exposing the light-curable nail product to light from the array of one or more light sources,
- wherein said exposing light-cures the nail product on the at least four nails.
A nail lamp comprising:
- a first housing portion;
- a second housing portion connected to the first housing portion for movement relative to the first housing portion between an operative position and a stowed position;
- a space disposed between the housing portions when the second housing portion is in its operative position, the space being sized to accommodate therein at least one nail on an appendage of a user;
- and
- an array of one or more light sources supported by the second housing portion and configured to produce light that is configured to cure a light-curable nail product,
- wherein, when the second housing portion is in the operative position and the user's at least one nail is in the space, the array of one or more light sources is positioned to direct the light onto the at least one nail.
A method of curing light-curable nail product using a nail lamp that comprises a first housing portion, a second housing portion connected to the first housing portion for movement relative to the first housing portion between an operative position and a stowed position, a space disposed between the housing portions when the second housing portion is in its operative position, and an array of one or more light sources supported by the second housing portion and configured to produce light that is configured to cure a light-curable nail product, the method comprising:
- positioning the second housing portion in the operative position;
- receiving at least one nail on an appendage of a user in the space, the at least one nail having thereon uncured light-curable nail product;
- and
- exposing the light-curable nail product to light from the array of one or more light sources,
- wherein said exposing light-cures the nail product on the at least one nail.
