Abstract: A deformed nail corrector for correcting a deformed nail is provided that includes: a first elastic wire which has one end portion thereof fixed to one edge of the deformed nail in a width direction; a second elastic wire which has one end portion thereof fixed to the other edge of the deformed nail in the width direction; and a binding means which binds the first and second elastic wires to each other and is slidable along the first and second elastic wires in a bound state. The first and second elastic wires are brought into a state where the first and second wires are deformed along the deformed nail with the first and second, elastic wires being in a corrector mounting state where the first and second elastic wires are bound to each other by the binding means.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fastening element for two-dimensional fiber material comprising a basic element and pin-shaped profile elements, which protrude from the basic element in order to penetrate the fiber material. Provision is made for the profile elements to be deformable in order to form retaining heads for the fiber material. The invention further relates to a method for fastening two-dimensional fiber material which can be carried out with a fastening element of such type. By the method in accordance with the invention a cold micro-riveting can be achieved.
