Abstract

The subject matter of the present invention is a device for protecting nails to prevent users who suffer from onychophagy - the habit of biting the fingernails or toenails during periods of nervousness, anxiety, stress, hunger or boredom - from biting their nails. Produced in plastic, silicone, rubber, textiles and the like, the protective device has a circular base, is hollow within and has an anatomical, mouldable loop at the end of the finger, which protects the user's nail and cuticle.

Description

"DISPOSITIVO PROTETOR DE UNHAS E SIMILARES."  "FINGER AND LIKE PROTECTIVE DEVICE."

Refere-se o presente objeto a um protetor de unhas para evitar que usuários portadores da onicofagia, hábito de morder as unhas dos dedos das mãos ou pés durante períodos de nervosismo, ansiedade, stress, fome ou tédio roam as suas unhas. Desenvolvido em plástico, silicone, borracha, tecidos e similares, o protetor possui uma base circular, é vazado em seu interior e possui uma alça maleável e anatómica à extremidade do dedo, protegendo a unha do usuário e também a sua cutícula.  This object refers to a nail protector to prevent users of onychophagia, the habit of biting fingernails or toes during periods of nervousness, anxiety, stress, hunger or boredom. Developed in plastic, silicone, rubber, fabrics and the like, the protector has a circular base, is hollow inside and has a malleable anatomical handle to the end of the finger, protecting the user's nail and also its cuticle.

Destina-se o presente objeto a proporcionar maior higiene e proteção ao usuário, principalmente para os que possuem o hábito de roer as unhas e/ou cutículas constantemente. Além de machucar os dedos, o hábito de roer as unhas e cutículas é anti-higiênico. Ao fazê- lo, o usuário entra em contato com diversos tipos de bactérias, pois as mãos e os dedos são as partes do corpo que mais utilizamos para tocar e pegar os objetos em geral, o que muitas vezes pode transmitir doenças. Roer unhas pode resultar num transporte de germes que vivem embaixo da superfície da unha até a boca Como muitas bactérias têm a habilidade de' viver dentro da unha, o hábito de roer unhas pode potencializar as chances de danos à saúde. Um roedor de unhas compulsivo pode roer não só a unha, mas também a pele ao seu redor e a cutícula, possivelmente rompendo a pele. Uma pele rompida é suscetível a infecções oportunistas de micróbios e vírus. Roer unhas também pode ser negativo por restringir o uso das mãos.  This object is intended to provide greater hygiene and protection to the user, especially for those who have the habit of biting nails and / or cuticles constantly. In addition to hurting the fingers, the habit of biting nails and cuticles is unhygienic. In doing so, the user comes into contact with various types of bacteria, as hands and fingers are the parts of the body that we use most to touch and pick up objects in general, which can often transmit disease. Nail biting can result in the transport of germs that live under the surface of the nail to the mouth. Because many bacteria have the ability to 'live inside the nail', nail biting can increase the chances of health damage. A compulsive nail rodent can bite not only the nail but also the skin around it and the cuticle, possibly breaking the skin. Broken skin is susceptible to opportunistic infections of microbes and viruses. Nail biting can also be negative by restricting hand use.

Roedores de unhas compulsivos ferem-se e deixam seus dedos em condições estéticas e anatómicas prejudiciais, além de ter sua habilidade para trabalhar restringida (por exemplo, escrever, digitar, desenhar, tocar instrumentos de corda, dirigir) por causa dos estragos feitos às unhas ou à pele em volta. Dificilmente, conseguem inibir tal hábito prejudicial (que costuma se instalar na infância), a não ser por uso de medicamentos e outras terapias. Atualmente, surgiu um tipo de esmalte que, por ter gosto ruim, inibiria a roedura. Mas há pessoas que roem unhas e cutículas até com esmalte. Compulsive nail rodents get injured and leave their fingers in detrimental aesthetic and anatomical conditions, and their ability to work is restricted (eg writing, typing, drawing, playing stringed instruments, driving) because of damage to nails or surrounding skin. They can hardly inhibit such a harmful habit (which usually sets in in childhood), except by the use of drugs and other therapies. Nowadays, a type of enamel has emerged that, because it has bad taste, would inhibit the gnawing. But there are people who bite nails and cuticles even with enamel.

O protetor de unhas e cutículas inibe um hábito autodestrutivo e incentiva o usuário a começar a identificar quais pensamentos e sentimentos estão envolvidos no momento em que ele deseja roer suas unhas e/ou cutículas. Roê-ias vorazmente é uma compulsão, que de tanto ser praticada, torna-se um hábito automático. A pessoa passa a nem saber explicar o porquê de estar roendo. Utilizando o objeto em questão e evitando a roedura, o indivíduo estará mais apto a identificar pensamentos e sentimentos importantes associados ao hábito e resolvê-los positivamente com acompanhamento de um profissional capacitado.  The nail and cuticle protector inhibits a self-defeating habit and encourages the user to begin to identify which thoughts and feelings are involved at the moment they wish to bite their nails and / or cuticles. Gnawing voraciously is a compulsion that, from being practiced so much, becomes an automatic habit. The person doesn't even know how to explain why they are gnawing. Using the object in question and avoiding gnawing, the individual will be better able to identify important thoughts and feelings associated with the habit and resolve them positively with the accompaniment of a skilled professional.

Portanto, foi desenvolvido o objeto em questão, inédito, prático, seguro e de grande utilidade, proporcionando segurança, praticidade e higiene, aliado a baixo custo, exequibilidade industrial e inúmeras inovações merecedoras deste privilégio de patente, podendo ser desenvolvido em diversos tamanhos, formatos, materiais e cores, de acordo com a preferência e o perfil do usuário.  Therefore, the object in question was developed, unprecedented, practical, safe and very useful, providing safety, practicality and hygiene, allied to low cost, industrial feasibility and innumerable innovations worthy of this patent privilege, and can be developed in various sizes, formats. , materials and colors, according to preference and user profile.

O objeto possui fácil manuseio, portanto o usuário pode colocá-lo e retirá-lo das unhas sempre que necessário, permitindo mais flexibilidade no uso do protetor.  The object is easy to handle, so the user can put it on and off when necessary, allowing more flexibility in the use of the protector.
