Application alemana 2, 19'11. serial N6. 630,805;

Be it known that I, GEoRGE lALTH-ER,

a citizen of .the United States, residing at' Rockville Center, in the countyof Nassau and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fin? ger-Nail Cleaners, of whichthe following is l 'a specification.

This *invention relates t'o Iimprovements mfinger nail polishing machines.'y

'The principal'objelct of the invention is to provide 'a' vdevice Iof this character which is simple in construction, 'easy Vof operation, and by means of which a person may vreadily clean and polish the nails of both hands.

Other objec'ts and advantages |will be apparent as the ceeds.

following description pro- In the drawings: Figure 1 is a side ele- 4vation, of the device, one side of the cover being removed. Fig. '2'is-an'end elevationv of the same. Fig. 3 is a vertical section o-n the line .3 3 ofthe upper Aport-ion of ythe device as shown .in Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a horizontal-section on the line 4 -4 of Fig. v1. Fig. is an enlarged detailed .perspective yview'of the finger rest. Fig 6 is an enlarged detailed lperspective view of the cleaning and: polishing tooland holder.'

Referring to thel drawings l() represents' the base of thev device, which isla box like structure, in which is arranged a drawer 11 to .hold the `different cleaning and polishing tools and other 'necessary tools and appurtenances.

Secured'to the base-10, on its upper` face, by means of the feet 12 is an inverted U- shaped frame member 13, having the perforated ears 14 to'receive screws for-securing the cover plates 15.'` There are two oft-hese plates '15,`one o n each side of the frame.

Mounted in' .the lower ,portion of the frame 13 is a platform 16, adjustable verg a cylindrical member 19 having mounted to tically by means of the bolts 17 thereon, and the slots 18 in the'lsides of the frame. Mounted centrally onthe platform 16 'i slide vertically therein 'a r0d20, onthe upper end of which is a circular discal. head 21, on which ,a finger of the hand is laid in the operation of cleaning and polishing the nails. In the upper portion of the sameis a second platform 22 on |which isl mounted the parallelvertical supports 23,011' the upper ends of which are fori-nedthe journals- 24 for the reception' of theA h'oriZoI 1t-allyv di'sposed shafts ,-25. The outer,v ends ofthe shafts 25 are journaled in the' vertical mem,-

bers of the frame, and on theirl outer ends, which project beyond `the frame are provided with the crank handles 26, by means of which the shafts may be rotated. -On the inner end of each of the shafts is a' beveled -v pinion V27 lwhich mesh -with the opposite sides of a similar upper end of the polishing shaft 29; Dis'- inion' 28mounted on the posed across the supports 23, and below the pinion 28 is a'plat-form 30 having an opening therethrough', and fa reinforcing plate '31 in which is journaled the upper en'd of. lthe shaft 29. On thelower end oftheshaft- 29 is. a Icollar 32 for the reception of the cleaning and polishingtools 33', said'tools being held in said collar b v, meansvof1 the set screw 3ft. By .means of this set screw and the set-screw 19" of the finger rest, 'the tool and the fingerv rest, are-readily.' adjustable toward each other to bring the polishing head'of the tool 33 lint-o' engage.-

ment with the nail. The adjustment of the, platform 16 makes it possible to further adjust the linger toward the polishing tool..

In the operation of the device, asin cleaning `andpolishing the nails of-the left/hand, thel fingerv rest -and,'tool are properly adjust-- ed, with the finger. on the linger rest. vThe handle 26. on vthe right, handv side. of,l the frame is rotated',- which through the ,gears- 27 and- 28 rotates the polishing tool 33 lagainst the finger nail. In cleaning .and polishing the nails of-'the rigit, es

hand, the operation is the 1samefas just crihed,.eX cept that the crank 26atthe left of the machine is operated.

From the.foregoing itwill thus be seen that the device is simple in construction and easy.l of operation, and 'provides' meansV for adjusting thejvarizous parts, and making it easy to clean the nails of the right and left hands. l
