Patent number: 8481010Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the field of primers and adhesion promoters. More specifically, the primer of the present invention is comprised of one or more multi-carbonylated methacrylates. In a preferred embodiment, a non-ketone polar solvent is also employed. The resulting composition eliminates primer related discoloration of artificial nail enhancements, eliminates the potential for corrosion of skin and nails, and eliminates risk of chemical burn injury, while providing stronger adhesion than currently available primers.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2008Date of Patent: July 9, 2013Assignee: Creative Nail Design, Inc.Inventors: Douglas D. Schoon, James Duff, Thong Vu, Andry Hong, Daniel Moore

Publication number: 20030012748Abstract: The invention described herein is a composition used in the formation of artificial fingernail enhancements, which can be either full nail coatings or nail “tips”, and containing boron nitride as the primary pigment for coloration. While the use of boron nitride in various cosmetic formulations has been known, it has never before been used as a whitening pigment in artificial fingernail formulations in the manner described herein and the unique and beneficial properties of the addition of boron nitride in such compositions have heretofore been unknown and unrecognized.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2001Publication date: January 16, 2003Inventor: Douglas D. Schoon

Patent number: 5523076Abstract: An artificial human nail structure is described which is formed of polymerized alkyl methacrylate and hydroxyalkyl methacrylate in a weight ratio in the range of 1-50 parts of alkyl methacrylate per part of hydroxyethyl methacrylate, preferably a ratio of 2-20:1, and more preferably of 3-10:1, and wherein said alkyl moiety of either is any C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl, preferably ethyl. The artificial nail coating can be easily applied, polymerizes readily and rapidly without catastrophic crystallization and produces a transparent and easily shaped artificial nail structure. Also disclosed is an artificial human nail surface precursor having as its principal component a mixture of alkyl methacrylate and hydroxyalkyl methacrylate in the above mentioned weight ratio.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 1994Date of Patent: June 4, 1996Assignee: Creative Nail Design, Inc.Inventor: Douglas D. Schoon

Patent number: 5319011Abstract: A method is disclosed for the catalytic polymerization of cyanoacrylate monomers by contacting said monomers with an organotin compound. Also included is a polymerizable system comprising cyanoacrylate monomer and an organotin compound, wherein upon contact of the monomer and the compound, the compound catalyzes the polymerization of the monomer. The organotin compound will have the formula R.sub.3 SnX (I), where each R is alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkaryl or aryl and X is alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, alkaryl, hydrogen, hydroxide or alkylcarboxyl, or the formula R.sub.2 R'.sub.s Sn (II), where each R is alkyl and each R' is alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, hydrogen, hydroxide or alkylcarboxyl. In each compound all substituents of the same chemical type may be the same species or two or more may be different species from each other, provided, however, that if in compound II both R and R' are of the same chemical type, each of the R substituents must be a different species from each of the R' substituents.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 1992Date of Patent: June 7, 1994Assignee: Creative Nail Design, Inc.Inventor: Douglas D. Schoon

Patent number: 5219645Abstract: A method is disclosed for the formation of artificial nail surfaces, whether natural nail coatings or nail extenders, which comprises first impregnating a fabric matrix with a cyanoacrylate monomer, forming the impregnated fabric matrix into an artificial nail surface shape and thereafter contacting the impregnated matrix with an organotin compound to cause the monomer to become polymerized and solidify in contact with the matrix and in the formed nail shape. In a preferred embodiment, the organotin compound is mixed with one or more additives in a liquid and the liquid is dispensed onto the monomer surface with an eyedropper, although, if desired, the additives can be incorporated separately prior to the contact of the impregnated matrix with the organotin compound.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 1992Date of Patent: June 15, 1993Assignee: Creative Nail DesignInventor: Douglas D.
