Abstract

A drawing device includes an insertion case into which an object that is a finger or a toe having a nail to be drawn is inserted, and including a first surface provided with an opening area that exposes the nail in a state where the object is inserted and a second surface provided in a direction crossing the first surface, and an insertion area into which the insertion case is detachably inserted. An area of at least a part of the second surface, the area being corresponding to the nail in a state where the object is inserted, has transparency allowing an inside of the insertion case to be visible.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A drawing device comprising:
an insertion case into which an object that is a finger or a toe having a nail to be drawn is inserted, and including a first surface provided with an opening area that exposes the nail in a state where the object is inserted and a second surface having a plane direction intersecting with a plan direction of the first surface; and an insertion area into which the insertion case is detachably inserted, wherein a first area of at least a part of the second surface, the first area being corresponding to the nail in a state where the object is inserted, has transparency allowing an inside of the insertion case to be visible.

2 . The drawing device according to claim 1 , wherein
a first scale mark indicating a distance from the first surface is provided in the first area of the second surface of the insertion case.

3 . The drawing device according to claim 1 , wherein
the insertion case includes a cover plate provided on the first surface and cover at least a part of the opening area, the cover plate slides along the plane direction of the first surface, a second area of at least a part of the cover plate, the second area being corresponding to the nail in a state where the object is inserted in the insertion case and the cover plate covers the at least part of the opening area, has transparency allowing an inside of the insertion case to be visible, and a second scale mark indicating a distance in a direction along the first direction is provided in the second area of the cover plate along a first direction crossing an inserting direction of the object.

4 . The drawing device according to claim 3 , comprising:
a stopper configured to come in contact with and allow the cover plate to slide to open the opening area when the insertion case in a state where the cover plate covers the at least part of the opening area is inserted into the insertion area.

5 . The drawing device according to claim 1 , comprising:
a drawing head configured to apply drawing to the nail exposed through the opening area of the insertion case in a state where the insertion case into which the object is inserted is inserted in the insertion area.

6 . The drawing device according to claim 1 , wherein
the insertion case includes a pressing mechanism that presses the object toward the first surface in a state where the object is inserted.

7 . The drawing device according to claim 1 , comprising:
an image acquisition device configured to acquire an image obtained by capturing the inside of the insertion case through the second surface of the insertion case when the insertion case is inserted in the insertion area.

8 . The drawing device according to claim 7 , wherein
the image acquisition device further acquires an image obtained by capturing the first surface including the opening area in a state where the insertion case is inserted in the insertion area.

9 . The drawing device according to claim 8 , further comprising:
a mirror unit which has at least one mirror provided in a position where the mirror unit reflects an image of the second surface side of the insertion case into a direction where the image acquisition device is able to capture the image in a state where the insertion case is inserted in the insertion area; and a display device, wherein the image acquisition device acquires a first image obtained by capturing the nail exposed through the opening area and a second image obtained by capturing an image of a second surface side of the object through the mirror unit when the insertion case in which the object is inserted is inserted in the insertion area, and the first image and the second image are displayed on the display device.

10 . The drawing device according to claim 9 , comprising:
a processor, wherein the first area of the second surface of the insertion case is provided with a first scale mark indicating a distance from the first surface, the mirror unit is provided in a position inclined with respect to the second surface, the second image includes an image obtained by capturing the first scale mark, and the processor includes a unit that corrects a value of a height of the nail read by a user from the image of the first scale mark in the second image displayed on the display device, and input by the user to the drawing device, on the basis of an inclined angle of the mirror unit with respect to the second surface.

11 . The drawing device according to claim 1 , comprising:
a guide mechanism configured to guide insertion of the insertion case when the insertion case is inserted into the insertion area, wherein the guide mechanism is made of a recessed groove, and an elongated protrusion portion to be slidably engaged with the recessed groove, one of the insertion area and the insertion case is provided with the recessed groove, and the other of the insertion area and the insertion case is provided with the elongated protrusion portion.

12 . An insertion case into which an object that is a finger or a toe having a nail to be drawn, is inserted, the insertion case comprising
a first surface provided with an opening area that exposes the nail in a state where the object is inserted and a second surface having a plane direction intersecting with a plan direction of the first surface, wherein a first area of at least a part of the second surface, the first area being corresponding to the nail in a state where the object is inserted, has transparency allowing an inside of the insertion case to be visible, and the insertion case is detachably inserted to a drawing device that applies drawing to the nail.

13 . The insertion case according to claim 12 , wherein
a first scale mark indicating a distance from the first surface is provided in the first area of the second surface of the insertion case.

14 . The insertion case according to claim 12 , comprising:
a cover plate provided on the first surface and cover at least a part of the opening area, wherein the cover plate slides along the plane direction of the first surface, a second area of at least a part of the cover plate, the second area being corresponding to the nail in a state where the object is inserted in the insertion case and the cover plate covers the at least part of the opening area, has transparency allowing an inside of the insertion case to be visible, and a second scale mark indicating a distance in a direction along the first direction is provided in the second area of the cover plate along a first direction crossing an inserting direction of the object.

15 . The insertion case according to claim 12 , comprising:
a pressing mechanism configured to press the object toward the first surface in a state where the object is inserted.
