Abstract

A kit for usage by a nail polish application apparatus, the kit comprising one or more nail polish capsules. Each of the nail polish capsule(s) comprises a body portion defining a reservoir containing a nail polish fluid and a non-screw detachable cover having an integrated nail polish applying element. The non-screw detachable cover is mechanically coupled to an upper face of the body portion to seal an opening in the upper face.

Claims (28)

1. A capsule integrated with a nail polish applying element for usage by a nail polish application apparatus, said a capsule comprising:

a body portion defining a reservoir containing a nail polish fluid; and

a non-screw detachable cover having an integrated nail polish applying element, said non-screw detachable cover comprising at least one mechanical mounting provision encompassing at least partially a circumferential wall of said non-screw detachable cover and shaped for grasping of the non-screw detachable cover by a mounting element of said nail polish application apparatus, said non-screw detachable cover is mechanically coupled to an upper face of said body portion to seal an opening in said upper face.

2. The capsule of claim 1 , further comprising said capsule is contained in a rigid container storing at least one said capsule, movement of the non-screw detachable cover with respect to said body portion in a longitudinal axis is limited by a first wall of said container which is in physical contact with an external surface of a bottom of said body portion and a second wall of said container opposite said first wall which is in physical contact with an external surface of a top of said non-screw detachable cover.

3. The capsule of claim 1 , wherein said nail polish applying element comprises a stem and a dispensing head, a first end of said stem connects to a bottom face of said non-screw detachable cover and a second end of said stem connects to said dispensing head, wherein said stem protrudes into said body portion when said non-screw detachable cover is attached to said upper face.

4. The capsule of claim 3 , further comprising at least one sealing element comprising at least one member of a group consisting of: an axial sealing element, a radial sealing element and a combination thereof, the at least one sealing element is mechanically coupled to at least one of: said upper face, a neck section of said body portion and said stem.

5. The capsule of claim 3 , wherein said dispensing head is constructed of at least one member of a group consisting of: a plurality of hair strands, an elastic tube, a solid pipe, a sponge, a wiper, a spray head and a combination of at least two thereof.

6. The capsule of claim 3 , further comprising a width of said stem is adapted to at least partially contact at least one inner circumferential wall of a neck section of said body portion to form a resting area for laying down said detachable cover integrated with said nail polish applying element in said body portion.

7. The capsule of claim 1 , further comprising said capsule is wrapped in a sealed rippable foil sheet.

8. The capsule of claim 7 , wherein said rippable foil sheet is wrapped at least partially around said at least one mechanical mounting provision.

9. The capsule of claim 1 , wherein said nail polish fluid is a member selected from a group consisting of: a nail polish fluid, a base coating fluid, a top coating fluid, a drying material, a nail art polish fluid and a medical nail treatment fluid.

10. The capsule of claim 1 , wherein said at least one mechanical mounting provision is a member of a group consisting of: a protrusion, a groove and a cavity.

11. The capsule of claim 1 , wherein said body portion further comprising at least one mechanical docking provision shaped for locking said body portion in a capsule compartment of said nail polish application apparatus, said at least one mechanical docking provision is a member of a group consisting of: a protrusion, a groove and a cavity.

12. The capsule of claim 1 , further comprising said at least one mechanical mounting provision completely encompassing said circumferential wall of said non-screw detachable cover.

13. The capsule of claim 1 , further comprising said capsule is contained in a rigid container storing at least one capsule, movement of said non-screw detachable cover with respect to said body portion in a longitudinal axis is limited by at least one barrier locking element of said container which is in physical contact with a top surface of at least one mechanical protrusion disposed on at least part of said circumferential wall of said non-screw detachable cover and a wall of said container opposite said at least one barrier which is in physical contact with an external surface of a bottom side of said body portion.

14. The capsule of claim 1 , further comprising said capsule is contained in a rigid container storing at least one capsule, movement of said non-screw detachable cover with respect to said body portion in a longitudinal axis is limited by at least one barrier locking element of said container which is in physical contact with a bottom surface of at least one mechanical protrusion disposed on at least part of said circumferential wall of said body portion and a wall of said container opposite said at least one barrier which is in physical contact with an external surface of a top side of said non-screw detachable cover.

15. The capsule of claim 1 , further comprising said capsule is contained in a rigid container storing at least one capsule, movement of said non-screw detachable cover with respect to said body portion in a longitudinal axis is limited by at least one first barrier locking element of said container which is in physical contact with a top surface of at least one mechanical protrusion disposed on at least part of said circumferential wall of said non-screw detachable cover and a at least one second barrier locking element which is in physical contact with a bottom surface of at least one mechanical protrusion disposed on at least part of said circumferential wall of said body portion.

16. A method for manufacturing a capsule integrated with a nail polish applying element for usage by a nail polish application apparatus, comprising:

producing a body portion defining a reservoir adapted to contain nail polish fluid,

producing a non-screw detachable cover having an integrated nail polish applying element and comprising at least one mechanical mounting provision encompassing at least partially a circumferential wall of said non-screw detachable cover and shaped for grasping of said non-screw detachable cover by a mounting element of said nail polish application apparatus, said non-screw detachable cover is mechanically coupled to an upper face of said body portion to seal an opening in said upper face,

inserting said nail polish fluid into said body portion, and

mechanically coupling said non-screw detachable cover to said upper face of said body portion to seal an opening in said upper face.

17. The method of claim 16 , further comprising producing at least one sealing element and mechanically coupling said at least one sealing element to at least one of:

said upper face,

a neck section of said body portion, and

a stem of said integrated nail polish applying element connecting a dispensing head of said integrated nail polish applying element to said non-screw detachable cover.

18. The method of claim 17 , further comprising inserting said capsule into a container shaped to store at least one capsule in a longitudinal axis positioning and limit a movement of the non-screw detachable cover with respect to the body portion in a longitudinal axis.

19. The method of claim 16 , further comprising wrapping said capsule in a sealed rippable foil sheet after mechanically coupling said non-screw detachable cover to said body portion.
