Foil roll for use with pad for removing nail gel and acrylic nails and method for manufacturing
View Patent ↗A nail gel/acrylic removal system and method for manufacturing a roll of foil segments with pads around a core used for nail gel and acrylic nail removal. A pad is configured to receive and absorb a substance for dissolving at least one of nail gel and acrylic nails. A segment of foil with an affixed pad is sized to wrap around at least a portion of a finger of a human hand so that the pad with the substance for dissolving is in contact with a fingernail of the hand. First and second sets of perforations are placed along opposite edges of the foil segment, so that pairs of foil segments with the pads are joined at the first and second set of perforations. A roll is formed of the foil segments with pads around a core.
1. A method for making a foil and pad roll used for removal of nail gel and acrylic nails comprising:
a) configuring a pad to receive and absorb a substance for dissolving at least one of nail gel and acrylic nails;
b) sizing a single segment of foil without a backing to wrap completely around a fingertip of a human hand so as to maintain contact between said pad and said nail gel or acrylic nail on said fingertip;
c) affixing said pad to said foil segment with an acrylate resin applied with an initiator on the foil segment;
d) curing the resin/pad combination cured under heat or UV light to cure the resin;
e) disposing a first set of perforations along an inner portion of a first edge of said foil segment;
f) disposing a second set of perforations along an inner portion of a second edge of said foil segment, wherein said first edge and said second edge are at opposite ends of said foil segment;
g) providing a first and a second cut extending from a perimeter of said foil segment to ends of said first set of perforations, wherein said first cut and said second cut are co-linear with said first set of perforations;
h) providing a third and a fourth cut extending from a perimeter of said foil segment to ends of said second set of perforations, wherein said third cut and said fourth cut are co-linear with said second set of perforations;
i) forming a roll of said foil segments with said first and second set of perforations around a core wherein said foil segments each have one said pad affixed thereto.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein said pad is substantially centered on its corresponding foil segment.
3. The method of claim 1 wherein said first set and second set of perforations are substantially centered along said first edge and said second edge, respectively.
4. The method of claim 1 wherein said foil has a thickness of approximately ½ mil and said perforations of said first set and said second set are spaced at intervals leaving 0.0038 inch of foil between each cut.
