20120147107 | NAIL PRINT APPARATUS - Disclosed is a nail print apparatus including: a nail print apparatus including: a print finger inserting section to insert a finger with a nail to be printed as a print finger; a non-print finger inserting section to insert a finger on which printing is not performed as a non-print finger; a grabbing section which is provided between the print finger inserting section and the non-print finger inserting section and which can be pinched with the print finger and the non-print finger; and a printing section which performs printing on a nail of the print finger, wherein the grabbing section includes a first finger positioning section to position the four fingers when printing is performed by the printing section; and a second finger positioning section to position the thumb of the second hand when printing is performed by the printing section. | 06-14-2012 |
20120287183 | NAIL PRINTING DEVICE AND PRINTING CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - A nail printing device includes a printing unit including a printing head which applies ink on a print target surface, and a control unit which controls the printing unit and sets a printing mode to a nail printing mode or a printing medium printing mode. In the nail printing mode, the control unit sets a surface of a nail portion as the print target surface and creates a nail printing image data for printing the surface of the nail portion corresponding to a curve-shape of the nail portion. In the printing medium printing mode, the control unit sets a planar surface of a printing medium as the print target surface and performs thinning correction to a nail printing image data formed corresponding to the curve-shape of the nail portion. | 11-15-2012 |
20130019799 | NAIL PRINT APPARATUS - A nail print apparatus which prints on a nail. The nail print apparatus includes a partition wall and a printing section. A first surface of the partition wall is in contact with at least one first finger inserted on the first surface. A second surface of the partition wall is in contact with at least one second finger, which is different from the first finger, inserted on the second surface. The first surface and the second surface are held between the first finger and the second finger from a first end of the partition wall. A thickness of the partition wall between the first surface and the second surface increases from the first end toward a second end opposite to the first end. | 01-24-2013 |
20130021395 | NAIL PRINT APPARATUS - A nail print apparatus includes a print head which performs printing on a finger nail, a printing finger positioning unit which holds a fingertip of the finger nail on which the print head performs printing, non-printing finger receiving units which are provided respectively at sides of the printing finger positioning unit and which receive fingers other than the finger held by the printing finger positioning unit, and a placement unit on which at least the fingertip of the finger received by the printing finger positioning unit is placed. | 01-24-2013 |
20130041780 | NAIL DESIGN DISPLAY CONTROL APPARATUS AND DISPLAY CONTROL METHOD - A nail design display control apparatus including a first storage circuit which stores a plurality of nail designs, each of which being associated with evaluation values indicating matching levels of a nail design with respect a plurality of related items, an item specifying unit by which a user specifies one or more of related items among a plurality of related items; and an evaluation calculation unit which calculates a sum of the evaluation values with respect to the related items specified by the user for each of the plurality of nail designs. | 02-14-2013 |
20130242019 | NAIL PRINT APPARATUS INCLUDING EXTENDABLE LEG - A nail print apparatus includes a print apparatus body and a leg. The print apparatus body includes a first insertion section having an insertion opening from which a printing finger/toe is inserted, and a print head which performs printing on a nail of the printing finger/toe inserted in the first insertion section. The leg is extendable below the first insertion section and creates a second insertion section in an extended state. | 09-19-2013 |
20140060560 | NAIL PRINTING APPARATUS AND PRINTING CONTROL METHOD - A nail printing apparatus to perform printing on a nail includes an imaging device, an illuminating device, a printing section and a movement mechanism. The imaging device photographs a specific finger including the nail to be printed from a plurality of directions different from each other and acquires a plurality of nail images of the nail. The illuminating device is disposed at a certain position relative to the imaging device and illuminates the nail when the imaging device photographs the nail. The printing section performs the printing on the nail. The movement mechanism moves the imaging device, the illuminating device and the printing section together with one another. | 03-06-2014 |
20140132968 | NAIL PRINT APPARATUS AND PRINT CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - A nail print apparatus, including: a finger inserting unit in which a finger including a nail to be printed is inserted; an accessory holding unit which is located in the finger inserting unit and on which at least one decorative part of an accessory is placed; and a print head which performs printing on the nail of the finger that is inserted into the finger inserting unit and a printing surface to be printed of the decorative part that is located in the finger inserting unit and placed on the accessory holding unit. | 05-15-2014 |
20140232802 | NAIL PRINT APPARATUS - A nail print apparatus, including: a placement surface on which a drawing target is placed, the drawing target has a curved shape along a width direction of the drawing target; a drawing head in which at least one drawing tool is set, the drawing tool having a tip portion that contacts with a surface of the drawing target and performs drawing on the surface of the drawing target; and a head drive unit which moves the drawing head along the placement surface. | 08-21-2014 |
20150020834 | NAIL PRINTING APPARATUS AND PRINTING CONTROL METHOD FOR NAIL PRINT APPARATUS - A nail printing apparatus includes a finger/toe placement section, a drawing tool touching a finger/toe nail and making drawing on the finger/toe nail, and a drive unit which moves the drawing tool. When the drive unit moves the drawing tool while drawing, the drive unit is controlled to perform drawing direction limiting processing in which the drawing tool is allowed to move from a first to a second point of the surface of the nail which is lower than the first point and the drawing tool is prohibited from moving from the second to the first point in a first area of the nail surface set on one side of the nail center line, and in a second area of the nail surface set on the other side of the center line. | 01-22-2015 |
20150027480 | DRAWING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD OF DRAWING APPARATUS - According to one implementation, there is provided a drawing apparatus including a carriage, a cap member, and a holding/separating mechanism. The carriage holds a drawing tool including a tip. The cap member includes a tip receiving unit which covers and seals the tip. The holding/separating mechanism holds the tip of the drawing tool in a sealing state with the tip receiving unit when the drawing tool is placed in a standby position, and separates the tip of the drawing tool and the cap member from each other before starting the drawing. The holding/separating mechanism includes a move prevention member which is fixed to a certain position. The move prevention member comes into contact with the drawing tool so that the move prevention member prevents the drawing tool from moving in a direction that separates the tip from the cap member in the sealing state. | 01-29-2015 |
