Drawing device and insertion case

Abstract

A drawing device includes a plate configured to have placed thereon, an object that is a finger or a toe having a nail to be drawn on, an area into which the plate is detachably inserted, a camera configured to acquire an image, and at least one mirror. The mirror is provided in a position to reflect an image of a side surface of the object placed on the plate into a direction where the camera is able to capture the image of the side surface of the object in a state in which the object is placed on the plate in the area. The camera captures the image of the side surface of the object placed on the plate via the mirror.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A drawing device comprising:
 a plate configured to have placed thereon, an object that is a finger or a toe having a nail to be drawn on;   an area into which the plate is detachably inserted;   a camera configured to acquire an image; and   at least one mirror which is provided in a position to reflect an image of a side surface of the object placed on the plate into a direction where the camera is able to capture the image of the side surface of the object in a state in which the object is placed on the plate in the area,   wherein the camera captures the image of the side surface of the object placed on the plate via the mirror.   
     
     
         2 . The drawing device according to  claim 1 , wherein the camera captures the image of the side surface of the object placed on the plate and an image of an upper surface of the object placed on the plate. 
     
     
         3 . The drawing device according to  claim 2 , wherein the camera captures both of the image of the side surface of the object placed on the plate via the mirror and the image of the upper surface of the object placed on the plate at the same time. 
     
     
         4 . The drawing device according to  claim 3 , further comprising:
 a display device configured to display the image of the side surface of the object placed on the plate and the image of the upper surface of the object placed on the plate.   
     
     
         5 . The drawing device according to  claim 1 , wherein the mirror is inclined such that the camera is able to capture the image of the side surface of the object placed on the plate. 
     
     
         6 . The drawing device according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a pressing mechanism configured to press the object placed on the plate upwardly.   
     
     
         7 . The drawing device according to  claim 6 , wherein:
 the pressing mechanism fixes the object between the plate and a ceiling, and   the camera captures the image of the side surface of the fixed object.   
     
     
         8 . The drawing device according to  claim 7 , further comprising:
 a drawing head configured to draw on the nail in a state in which the pressing mechanism presses the object placed on the plate upwardly so as to fix the object between the plate and the ceiling.   
     
     
         9 . The drawing device according to  claim 7 , wherein the plate and pressing mechanism are configured to be pressed downward by the object, and to press upward against the object to move the object placed on the plate upwardly and thereby fix the object between the plate and the ceiling. 
     
     
         10 . The drawing device according to  claim 9 , wherein the plate and pressing mechanism are configured to be pressed downward by the object after the fixing. 
     
     
         11 . The drawing device according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a guide mechanism configured to guide insertion of the plate when the plate is inserted into the area,   wherein:   the guide mechanism comprises a recessed groove and an elongated protrusion portion slidably engageable with the recessed groove,   one of the area and the plate is provided with the recessed groove, and   the other of the area and the plate is provided with the elongated protrusion portion.
