DEVICE FOR CORRECTING DEFORMED NAIL

摘要

A device for correcting a deformed nail which has a simple structure to be worn onto the nail body, thereby simplifying wearing work and shortening time for the wearing work. The device for correcting a deformed nail includes a first corrective member, a second corrective member, and a ring-formed tensile member. The first corrective member comprises: a first locking section which is formed of an elastic hard wire and provided with a first locking piece to be locked to one side edge of the nail body in the width direction; a first supporting section which is provided with a first abutting surface to abut onto the surface of the nail body and supports the first locking section; and a first connection section the one end of which is provided with a first connection piece and the other end of which is connected to the first supporting section. The second corrective member comprises: a second locking section which is formed of an elastic hard wire and provided with a second locking piece to be locked to the other side edge of the nail body in the width direction; a second supporting section which is provided with a second abutting surface to abut onto the surface of the nail body and supports the second locking section; and a second connection section the one end of which is provided with a second connection piece and the other end of which is connected to the second supporting section. The ring-formed tensile member is formed of an elastic soft wire and hooked on the first connection piece and the second connection piece. The device for correcting a deformed nail is characterized in that the tensile member forms a correction actuating section which retains the first locking section and the second locking section while pulling the same toward the intermediate section of the nail body in the width direction by a predetermined tensile force which is caused by twisting the portion of the tensile member, the portion being on the opposite side from the portions hooked on the first connection piece and the second connection piece.
