Abstract:
1. A device for carrying out nail corrections, comprising at least one plastics material strip ( 2 ; 7 ; 9 ; 13 ) extending in a longitudinal direction ( 5 ), wherein the plastics material strip ( 2 ; 7 ; 9 ; 13 ) is rubbery-elastic and longitudinally elastic and, at its two longitudinal ends ( 16 ), viewed in the longitudinal direction ( 5 ), has a respective hook ( 4 ; 14 ) to engage around and underneath a nail edge of the nail ( 12 ) to be corrected, the plastics material strip ( 2 ; 7 ; 9 ; 13 ) being expandable and, when the hook ( 4 ; 14 ) is hooked in, being adaptable with respect to its length to a nail width of the nail ( 12 ) to be corrected, so that a restoring force due to elasticity brings about an upward force automatically adapted to a degree of curvature of the nail ( 12 ) to be corrected, and wherein the hooks ( 4 ; 14 ) consist of a plastics material, which is harder and more dimensionally stable than the plastics material of the plastics material strip ( 2 ; 7 ; 9 ; 13 ).
