More or less pasty means of the kind like her by adding solidifying agents ,, z. B. Polywaxes, Soaps and the like are achievable, although the use of such swabs may be avoided, but are in turn afflicted with the defect, that then a treatment with such a very time-consuming is as well as those adjacent to the nail. slightly recessed edges are difficult to clean and therefore subsequent washing with soap is practically indispensable in such cases.

All these difficulties and deficiencies leave against it the invention come to obsolescence in that it has created a device which is more convenient Portability is available at all times, fully ready for use, no additional, possibly not to be procured or only provisionally or to be disposed of after use Aids requires the desired treatment of the fingers and toes as well as convenient, quick and clean or their nails can be carried out completely and without dirtying neighboring areas.

Remover escapes and takes effect, which can still be achieved by moving the device, and fingers or Toe phalanx promoted against each other and, in the case of an elastic container, also by pressure on the same and / or turn intensified by mechanical friction on the possibly provided bristle facing can.

In the sense mentioned, it is particularly advantageous in this case to have the container in terms of dimensions and design to adapt to a row of fingers or toes or individual fingers or toes, e.g. B. hemispherical, cylindrical, to be rectangular or conical.

To the device according to the invention itself bed Frequent use to keep ready for a longer period of time, it is also very useful to keep the same with a storage container for the to be brought into connection with the absorbent inner wall covering Equip nail polish remover, for example, between the bottom of the container and its inner wall covering part is arranged and by means of a sieve bottom or just a simple one, if necessary Connection channel to be opened or closed as required with the inner wall covering in Connection.

Since it is to be absorbed by the device or its absorbent inner wall covering Nail polish remover is mostly of an easily evaporating nature, it is also advisable to the end cover of the device, the z. B. designed as a snap, threaded or attachment cover can be to be provided with a seal and so the absorbent inner wall covering to the outside to close tightly.

According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, the device according to the invention, expedient in their upper edge part, also equipped with a stripping device are, if necessary, in such a way that the absorbent inner wall covering merges into one in order to after After the treatment, the phalanx or toe or its nail or several of about still to free adhering liquid residues and to dry them. . ...

In the drawing, devices of the invention are shown Art is illustrated schematically in some exemplary embodiments and is to hand the same the subject matter of the invention explained in more detail below.

In the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, the for removing paint from one finger or Toe or nail specific device a cup-like container 1 of conical design, which z. B. can be made of metal or plastic and by means of the screw or snap cover 2, which is designed with a sealing washer 3, can be sealed to the outside. The inner wall of the container 1 is completely lined with the absorbent inner wall covering 4, the in its position against inadvertent sliding out through its upper side wall at least partially overlapping Randfiansch 5 of the container 1 is secured and by soaking with nail polish remover liquid is soaked. For use, the cover 1 is removed and the one to be stripped Finger or nail inserted into the interior of the device. When printing on the inner wall insert 4 by means of the fingernail then nail polish remover nozzle occurs “From the inner wall covering 4 and thereby reaches the nail surface to act to remove the absorbent inner wall covering again when the pressure is released 4 to be included and to be available there for reuse. Is the container 1 off an elastic plastic or the like. The described effect on the fingernail can also can be promoted or intensified by a corresponding compression of the container. Of the absorbent «Inner wall covering 4 can do all that either be single-layer, e.g. B. be formed from a felt layer, or formed in multiple layers be e.g. B. in such a way that a foam rubber or foam layer is covered with a felt layer.

FIG. 2 shows a device corresponding to that of FIG. 1, with the difference that that here the absorbent inner wall covering is not up to the upper edge of the container 1 or whose edge flange 5 extends, but ends at a distance below the same and only up to the after intermediate flange 6 protruding on the inside is sufficient and here between the two flanges 5 and 6 separate inner wall covering 7 is provided, which is made of the same absorbent material as the inner wall covering '4 od'eir also: consist of a different material can, is not charged with nail oil paint remover and as a scraper for the treated fingernail or toenail.

Of the The container 8 can be locked to the outside by the tightly fitting cover 11.

FIG. 4 shows one corresponding to that of FIG. 3 The device is illustrated with the difference that here a part 12 of the inner wall covering 9 is divided by the intermediate flange 13, which is not soaked with nail polish remover liquid and can serve as a stripping device for the treated fingers or toes or nails.

In the embodiment according to FIG. 5, the cup-like container 14 is in the form of a narrow elongated one Box formed, which allows the introduction of an entire row of fingers, with the absorbent Inner wall covering 15 is equipped and can be completed by means of the cover 16 can.

The embodiment illustrated in FIG. 6 is in the form of a hollow ring 17 serving as a container, z. B. made of plastic, which is at least partially open on its inside, with the absorbent, The inner wall covering is freely accessible on the inside and filled with nail polish remover is and by means of the corresponding in its outer diameter to the inner diameter of the hollow ring 17 cylindrical insert cover 19 can be closed, which in turn has an edge flange 20, which rests on the upper wall 21 of the hollow ring 17 when it is closed.

There are finger moisteners with one in a socket, z. B. a can, sitting sponge or the like. porous material, which protrudes beyond the edge of the can or other guide, known. It is further known, with such finger moisteners an additional water tank for refilling and a Provide overflow channel, which od from the protruding sponge. The like.
