Abstract: A fingernail apparatus includes a base supporting a nail press station and a sprue cutting station in a spaced apart relationship. A sprue support is movably supported between the press station and the sprue cutting station. The sprue support receives one or more arcuate sprues having pluralities of radially extending artificial fingernails supported thereby. The sprue support also receives a nail cap sprue having an arcuate shape and supporting a corresponding plurality of radially extending nail caps. Each artificial nail is constructed to receive a corresponding nail cap in a snap-fit attachment. A space is created between the nail and its nail cap which receives a plurality of ornament objects. The sprue support is movable to the pressing station to snap-fit each nail cap within its underlying artificial nail.
Abstract: A looped fastener having a fabric covered elasticized member having a thin, substantially rectangular cross-sectional configuration having terminal ends formed in a loop by passing the elasticized member through a hollow open ended decorative body. The looped fastener is tightened and loosened by moving the open ended body up and down the fabric covered elasticized member. The smaller the loop the tighter the fasten. The larger the loop the looser the fasten. Secondary open ended bodies affixed to the terminal ends of the fabric covered elasticized member prevent the elasticized member from accidentally being pulled out of the aforementioned open ended body.
