Device for removing nail polish from fingernails

The invention relates to a device for removing the nail varnish from fingernails, consisting of a through a lid closable container in which a sponge body soakable with a nail varnish dissolving liquid is arranged, which has an opening for inserting a finger.

A device with the features mentioned above is known from DE-OS 29 22 622. It has shown, that the wall of the central opening in the sponge body of the known device quickly covered with peeled nail polish adds and hinders the flow of solvent from the float to the finger receiving opening. The cleaning However, the finger-receiving opening formed in the sponge body causes difficulties.

The invention has for its object to design a device of the type mentioned so that it has a optimal cleaning of the fingernail while avoiding the disadvantages mentioned above.

The object set is achieved according to the invention with the device mentioned at the outset in that the sponge body consists of two identical prefabricated halves, one of which extends over the entire inner diameter of the container Form extending mutual contact surface, along which the finger with the fingernail to be cleaned is pluggable. Here are the two halves of the sponge body expediently dimensioned so that they are inserted somewhat compressed so that the two halves of the sponge body their contact surface rest against one another under prestress. Around the introduction of the finger between the two halves of the sponge body To facilitate, the sponge body halves can on their edge facing the container opening be beveled mutual contact surface to form a wedge-shaped insertion slot.

The device designed according to the invention results in a slot-shaped cleaning opening that extends over the whole Extends diameter of the soakable with the solvent sponge body receiving container. This allows the Fingers with the fingernail to be cleaned are vigorously moved lengthways in the receiving slot, resulting in a rapid Removing the loosened nail polish from the fingernail leads. By the sponge body halves lying against each other under tension is a close concern of the

Solvent-soaked sponge body halves against the too cleaning fingernail guaranteed. The one with the longitudinal movement of the pinger between the two halves of the sponge body Pressure exerted on the sponge body halves is applied successively over practically the entire length of the sponge body halves exercised, so that it is ensured that a very large proportion of the in the sponge body halves stored liquid solvent is also used to clean the fingernail.

Another important advantage is given by the fact that the sponge body halves with an outer surface facilitate cleaning the fingernail effect. If one of the outer sides is dirty, the two halves of the sponge body can be removed and rotated by 180 ° can be inserted again, which then other outer sides of the sponge body halves limit the slot-shaped receptacle for the fingers. With a cuboid design of the sponge body halves With the same height and width, four different outer sides of the sponge body halves can be used one after the other Limitation of the receiving opening for the fingers can be used before a total cleaning of the sponge body must become. Since the sponge body halves only get dirty on their outer sides, cleaning them is easy and thoroughly feasible.

An exemplary embodiment of the device designed according to the invention is shown below with reference to the accompanying drawing explained in more detail.

Fig. 1 shows a central cross section through

the device along the line I-I in Fig. 2;

Fig. 2 shows a cross section through the front

direction along the line II-II in Fig. 1.

The device shown consists of a container 10 made of plastic with a basic cubic shape, a support edge 12 formed on the flat container bottom 11 and with a cylindrical externally threaded flange 13 on its upper side, which delimits a large upper opening 14 that can be closed by a screw cap. At the inside of the container 10 two identical, cuboid sponge body halves 16 and 17 are arranged side by side, which through the opening 14 can be inserted therethrough. They are dimensioned so that they are slightly compressed when inserted, that is, along their mutual contact surfaces extending over the entire inner diameter of the container 10 16/1 and 17/1 lie against each other under pretension. Both sponge body halves 16 and 17 have broken longitudinal edges 16/2, 17/2, so that there is a wedge-shaped insertion slot according to FIG. 1, the immersion of a iiingers between the two sponge body halves 16, 17 facilitated.

The two halves of the sponge body 16 and 17 delimit one another over the entire inner diameter of the container 10 extending receiving slot 18 for one in Fig. 1 with Dashed lines indicated finger 19, the fingernail 20 is to be cleaned. The sponge body

echoed 16 and 17 are dissolving with a nail polish Soaked in liquid. When the finger 19 is dipped into the receiving slot 18, the painted fingernail 20 becomes wetted with the dissolving liquid, and by moving the finger 19 in the receiving slot 18 is the loosened nail polish quickly detached from the fingernail 20 and attached to the porous contact surfaces 16/1 and 17/1 of the sponge body halves 16 and 17 deposited. The halves of the sponge body 16 and 17 can be removed at any time and rotated back into place.

To secure their mutual position the sponge body halves may be provided on their mutual contact surfaces with their longitudinal direction extending parallel to the broken longitudinal edges 17/2 elevations and recesses, oils mutual engagement of the sponge body halves provide, without hindering the insertion of the finger.
