Abstract
A new nail wrap molder for helping form silk wraps on a fingernail to match the natural contour of the fingernail. The inventive device includes an elongate base portion and a form portion extending from the upper surface of the base portion. The form portion has an arcuate upper forming surface designed for resting a fingernail on to permit the application and forming of a silk wrap or artificial nail on the fingernail. The form portion also has an abutment wall orientated towards the proximal end of the base portion which is designed for abutting the tip of a finger against it when the fingernail to be molded rests upon the arcuate upper forming surface of the form portion.
Claims14
A nail form, comprising:
- an elongate base portion having a proximal end, a distal end, an upper surface, a lower surface;
- a form portion having an arcuate upper forming surface and an abutment wall, said form portion being extended from said upper surface of said base portion, said abutment wall of said form portion being orientated towards said proximal end of said base portion, said abutment wall of said form portion being for abutting the tip of a finger thereagainst, said upper forming surface of said form portion being for resting a fingernail thereon;
- and
- said abutment wall of said form portion being substantially flat and being oriented substantially perpendicular to said upper surface of said base portion for resisting slippage of said tip of said finger past said abutment wall and onto said form portion.
A nail form, comprising:
- an elongate base portion having a proximal end, a distal end, an upper surface, a lower surface, said lower surface comprising rubber to provide a non-skid resting surface;
- a form portion having an arcuate upper forming surface and an abutment wall, said form portion being extended from said upper surface of said base portion, the width of said form portion being extended across the width of said base portion, said form portion being tapered towards said distal end of said base portion, said abutment wall of said form portion being orientated towards said proximal end of said base portion, said abutment wall of said form portion being substantially flat, said abutment wall of said form portion being for abutting the tip of a finger thereagainst, said upper forming surface of said form portion being for resting a fingernail thereon;
- said upper surface of said base portion having a depression for resting a finger therein, said depression of said upper surface being extended between said proximal end of said base portion and said abutment wall of said form portion;
- said base portion having a pair of base sides, said base sides being parallel each other;
- said form portion having a pair of form sides, said form sides being parallel each other;
- said upper forming surface of said form portion extending between said form sides of said form portion;
- and
- said base member and said form portion comprising a surface adapted to resist adhesion of adhesives thereto.
A nail form, comprising:
- an elongate base portion having a proximal end, a distal end, a pair of lateral sides, and an upper finger resting surface, said base portion having a longitudinal axis;
- a form portion having an arcuate upper forming surface and an abutment wall, said abutment wall of said form portion being extended from said upper surface of said base portion, said abutment wall of said form portion being for abutting the tip of a finger thereagainst, said upper forming surface of said form portion being for resting a fingernail thereon;
- and
- a pair of opposed finger embracing arms, each said finger embracing arm being extended from a said lateral side of said base portion in a direction toward the other said finger embracing arm, said finger embracing arms being oriented generally perpendicular said longitudinal axis of said base portion for holding said base portion to a finger inserted between said opposed finger embracing arms when said base portion is lifted free from a supporting surface.
