Description

The The present invention relates to an apparatus for processing Surfaces, especially for grinding and / or polishing a curved surface, like fingernails, Hooves od. Like., Consisting of a flexible processing body and a handle.

STATE OF THE ART

such Devices are already in a variety of forms and configurations known and in use on the market.

For example, from the DE 20 2007 007 161 a device known for editing surfaces. This is a device that is used in particular for grinding and / or polishing a curved surface such as fingernails or the like and consists of a processing body made of a flexible material, wherein a holding device is provided which supports the processing body such that the processing body during machining at least a portion of the contour of the surface to be processed can be adjusted.

The Requirements for nail files are very diverse. This The result of this is the consistency of the fingernails due to different aspects varies from person to person and an almost perfect grinding and / or polishing result only in several Steps can be achieved. Another requirement arises from the fact that not just every single fingernail of a human being vaulted from the other fingernails, Size and length are different, but so are varies from person to person.

TASK

Of the present invention is based on the object, a device to work on editing surfaces with it It is easy to carry out different work steps in succession and thus a particularly good grinding and / or polishing result to reach. In addition, a device is to be created the interchangeable items versatile and environmentally friendly is.

SOLUTION OF THE TASK

to Solution of the task that leads to the machining body is rotatable.

A Device for processing surfaces has in the preferred Embodiment a handle and a processing body on. The surface comes here all vaulted Surfaces, in particular fingernails or toenails, in question.

configuration The color and material of the handle are not subject to any restrictions but rather are determined only by the user or manufacturer and orient themselves to the respective needs.

Of the Processing body has in the preferred embodiment the shape of a square prism or polygon. This is not necessarily. From the idea of the invention, all geometric Be covered forms that at least one, but preferably more than have three surfaces. Just for this is separate Protection claimed.

By the shape of a square prism results that the machining body in the preferred embodiment, four processing surfaces has. These editing surfaces can either have the same or different surfaces. This makes it possible, for example, several steps of a polishing process to accomplish with one and the same device. It is conceivable first a roughly grained surface to a very slightly grained surface. Likewise, it is conceivable every working surface with the same color or to design different colors. This holds the advantage that either the different grain size or also the different wear of a single processing surface can be displayed. Should be on all editing surfaces the same grain size is used, so leads this will prolong the life and longevity of the device becomes.

Conceivable is also the editing surface to be designed so that this Care products, such as creams or polishes absorb limited can make this over a larger area to distribute and deliver to the surface.

Of the User determines by turning the desired working surface down off the handle, what grit or at least which working surface he wants to use. In the preferred embodiment, the passage is circular. This also applies to the holders who intervene in it.

This makes it easy for the user to turn the desired working surface to the desired position. But it is also conceivable that the holder have a prismatic or other polygonal shape and the passage is also polygonal shaped. This would then cause a turning of the processing body Snap would take place in the respective desired position and would be difficult to over-pressure the sliding away of the desired processing surface up to the handle.

Of the Processing body can be easily replaced become. For this, the flexible processing body must be light be bent. This slides the provided with the passage Machining body of the holders, attached to arms of the handle are located.

If desired, the machining body can either replaced only briefly or even permanently replaced. However, it should also be included in the idea of the invention that the short or final replacement of the processing body, on the processing body simplifying the replacement Facilities are provided. This can be designed that at one or both ends of the machining body completely or only partially incising recesses or slots attached are. This would then cause the machining body Easier to slip from the owners or raised again can. Also conceivable in the context of using holders who over a joint or a rail slightly from the respective arm of the handle can be moved, thereby facilitating a replacement is.

The flexible basic shape of the machining body is in the preferred Embodiment of polyurethane foam. It contains the Advantage of being curved surfaces, such as. Finger and / or toenails, at least approximately adapts and thus a uniform processing of the surface guaranteed. In principle, however, every material is conceivable and encompassed by the inventive idea, which is the same or similar material properties, such as polyurethane foam.

The Holders consist in the preferred embodiment Stumps on which in turn an indefinite number of restraints are attached. It is also conceivable to use holders in the context the without retainer but with a diameter larger shaft stubs are equipped. All the ways lead to the goal, should be included in the inventive concept be. The aim of the holder is to simply slide the processing body to prevent from the handle.

At at least one arm of the handle is a slider formed. This Slider is arcuate and formed like a blade and consists in the preferred embodiment of the same material as the handle itself. With him it is possible, for example. Remove cuticle of a fingernail from its nail plate or push back. It is also conceivable that the slider made of a different material than the handle. It is the same conceivable that in each case a slider is present on both arms of the handle is.

Further Advantages, features and details of the invention will become apparent the following description of preferred embodiments as well as from the drawing; this shows in

1 a side view of an inventive device;

2 a side view of a part of an inventive device;

3 an enlarged section through a portion of the inventive device along the line III-III;

4 an enlarged perspective view of a portion of an inventive device.

In 1 is a handle first 1 and a processing body 2 to recognize. These are arranged in the way that the handle 1 bow-shaped and an arm 5 and an arm 6 forms, between which the machining body 2 sitting.

It's also on the arm 6 an arcuate slider 4 to recognize which in 4 is shown enlarged again. Next to it is at the top of the arm 5 a pressure point 3 formed.

In 2 is only the handle 1 without the processing body 2 shown. At the bottom of the arm 5 is a horizontally extending holder 7 given. In the same way is at the bottom of the arm 6 a holder 8th educated. The holders 7 . 8th each consist of a stub shaft 9 . 11 on each of which 4 retainers 10 . 12 are formed.

3 now shows a machining body 2 without the handle 1 , It should first be seen that the machining body 2 in its middle a continuous circular passage 13 having. Next to it is the processing body 2 shaped like a square prism. As a result, it has levels on four outer surfaces. These are machining surfaces 14 . 15 . 16 . 17 ,

The operation of the present invention is as follows:
First, the flexible processing body 2 with the one outlet of the passage 11 on the holder 7 postponed. The cross section of the Durchlas ses 13 and the retainer 10 on the staff 9 are mounted, correspond in such a way that the processing body 2 not without additional effort from the holder 7 can slide.

Subsequently, the flexible processing body 2 bent in the way that the other end of his passage 13 on the holder 8th can be deferred. There again prevent the retainer 12 on the staff 11 are attached, an independent sliding of the processing body 2 ,

Now the user can decide for himself which of the working surfaces 14 . 15 . 16 . 17 down off the handle 1 should be directed. This he determines by the machining body 2 as long as the holder 7 . 8th Turn the desired working surface downwards away from the handle 1 is directed.

After that, the user can edit the editing area 14 . 15 . 16 . 17 Apply to a surface to be worked on and start working on the surface. The pressure point is used 3 to give the user a better and firmer way of holding.

The slider 4 in turn, users may need to use smaller parts on surfaces such as As cuticle on fingernails from the nail plate and lead away and in particular to edit the nail bed or the cuticle.
