Abstract

An artificial nail holding device including a pair of bases, at least one rotatable dowel, and a pair of double-sided adhesive strips. The pair of bases includes a right base and a left base. The at least one rotatable dowel has a right end rotatably disposed within the right base and a left end rotatably disposed within the left base. The pair of double-sided adhesive strips is continuously attached to the at least one dowel from proximal the right end of the dowel to proximal the left end of the dowel.

Claims

1. An artificial nail holding device comprising:

a pair of bases comprising a right base and a left base, each of the right base and the left base having a top edge and a bottom edge;

at least one rotatable dowel having a right end and a left end, wherein the right end of the at least one dowel is rotatably disposed within the right base, and the left end of the at least one dowel is rotatably disposed within the left base, wherein each of the right end of the at least one dowel and the left end of the at least one dowel is medially disposed between the top edge and the bottom edge of each of the right base and the left base, respectively;

a pair of double-sided adhesive strips continuously attached to the at least one dowel from proximal the right end to proximal the left end, wherein each of the pair of adhesive strips is disposed over substantially one half of a surface area of the at least one dowel;

a plurality of artificial nails removably attached to an exterior surface of each of the pair of adhesive strips.

2. The artificial nail holding device of claim 1 wherein each of the right base and the left base slidably engages each of the right end of the at least one dowel and the left end of the at least one dowel, respectively, wherein each of the pair of bases is configured to slide inward and outward along the at least one dowel.

3. The artificial nail holding device of claim 2 wherein each of the pair of bases is rectangular.

4. The artificial nail holding device of claim 3 wherein each of the pair of bases has a length of 1.25 inches.

5. The artificial nail holding device of claim 4 wherein the at least one dowel has a length of 7 inches.

6. The artificial nail holding device of claim 4 wherein the at least one dowel has a length of 10.5 inches.

7. The artificial nail holding device of claim 1 wherein each of the pair of bases is rectangular.

8. The artificial nail holding device of claim 7 wherein each of the pair of bases has a length of 1.25 inches.

9. The artificial nail holding device of claim 8 wherein the at least one dowel has a length of 7 inches.

10. The artificial nail holding device of claim 8 wherein the at least one dowel has a length of 10.5 inches.
