Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an ornamental accessory for extension of a nail, preferably but without limitation a fake or rebuilt nail.
  • the term "ornamental accessory for extension of a nail” is intended to designate items of jewelry, items of costume jewelry and ornamental items in general, which are designed to be applied to the nail of a final user as an embellishment or aesthetic characterization of the nails of the user's hands and feet.
  • Embellishment items are known in the art, which are adapted to be fixed to a natural or artificial nail of a user, and are conformed, for instance, as nail-shaped shells made of precious materials, such as gold or silver, and possibly decorated with gems, ornamental work and/or the like.
  • US 2,013,290 discloses an ornamental accessory of the above type. It is particularly disclosed therein that, in operation, in order to hold the accessory on the nail, such accessory shall grip or apply a certain pressure at the side portions of the nail.
  • the pressure applied to such portions may cause the occurrence of unpleasant calluses or epidermal lacerations, as well as nail breakage.
  • Such method of securing the accessory to the finger may also cause pain to the user whenever he/she should inadvertently or absent-mindedly tap his/her finger on a surface when the accessory is being used.
  • an ornamental accessory particularly a longitudinally extending artificial nail, having an anchor device movably fixed in a seat formed on the surface of the inner side of the artificial nail.
  • the anchor device has a thin hook-like plate which is adapted to longitudinally slide on said seat to move between a first position in which the plate engages the middle of the free end of a user's nail and a second position in which the nail may be disengaged from the artificial nail.
  • the object of the present invention is to obviate the above mentioned prior art drawbacks.
