Abstract
Fingernail light systems for curing photopolymerizable plastics on fingernails are known, having a housing with a bottom plate 7, in which housing a support body 4, having indentations 18 on its outer contour, is provided for positioning the fingers of the hand 5 to be irradiated, and having at least one irradiation lamp 14, which at least partially surrounds the support body in a spaced-apart manner in the irradiation position, the support body being accessible in the irradiation position via an opening 10 in the housing. In order to provide a system that meets the indicated needs and assures a uniform irradiation of all the fingernails of both the left and the right hand, with the light originating in the irradiation lamp substantially striking the fingernails (20-24) to be cured, in which fingernails of even great length can be irradiated and a comfortable hand posture can be maintained, even over a relatively long period on the order of half a minute, the support body 4 of the present invention features an approximately cylindrical (FIG. 1) or frusto-conical (FIG. 3 ) outer contour, at least in the vicinity of the indentations, and the indentations are in the form of channels 1…
