HAND PLATE FOR NAIL GEL CURING APPARATUS

摘要

An apparatus for providing UV radiation for curing of gels on fingernails and thumbnails including is disclosed. The apparatus includes an enclosure with a generally oval shaped opening into which a hand placed on a tray may be inserted. The tray is specifically configured to ensure that the hand is correctly placed so that each fingernail and the thumbnail of a hand is under a corresponding UV-LED when the tray slides into the enclosure. By virtue of the positioning of the UV-LEDs relative to the tray, when a hand with a UV curable gel on the nails is inserted into the enclosure, and properly oriented by virtue of the above-described tray, the gel on the fingernails and the thumb nail are cured at the same time and at the same rate

主权项

1. A tray for a nail gel curing device comprising:
a generally planar oblong structure sized to accommodate a hand of a person, said structure configured to slide into and out of said nail gel curing device; a first raised flange disposed adjacent to one side of said structure; a second raised flange disposed adjacent to a second side of said structure; a first raised portion disposed adjacent to an end of said structure and centered thereon; a second raised portion disposed adjacent to one side of said first raised portion; a third raised portion disposed adjacent to a second side of said first raised portion, said first, second and third raised portions spaced apart from each other to form grooves for accommodating a mid-finger and a ring finger of said hand, and said second and third raised portions spaced apart from said first and second raised flanges, respectively, to form spaces for accommodating a forefinger and a little finger of said hand; wherein said first raised flange is sized to have a height and extent which is sufficient to block a web portion of a right hand and, with said first, second and third raise portions, ensure that said right hand is properly positioned on said tray to enable an optimal curing position of said nail gel on said fingernails and thumbnail of said right hand; and said second raised flange is sized to have a height and extent which is sufficient to block a web portion of a left hand and, with said first, second and third raise portions, ensure that said left hand is properly positioned on said tray to enable an optimal curing position of said nail gel on said fingernails and thumbnail of said left hand.
