UNITED STATES ELIZA W. SANIJFORD, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

AUTOMATIC NAIL BUFFER.

Application filed October 8, 1926. Serial No. 140,321.

My present invention relates to an improvement in a bufiing machine, and more especially to one adapted to a butting or polishing machine adapted to manicures use,

6 for treating the nails of the hand.

One of the objects of my device, aside from the compactness of the apparatus, is to provide means whereby-the buifer head is caused to rapidly oscillate, upon a rigid support, thereby to permit manual manipulation of the hand and nails thereon, light or heavy pressure being exerted at will.

Another advantage of my device relates to the simplicity of the structure and the few number of parts utilized.

These and other capabilities will be noted as the disclosure proceeds and obvious modifications may be made in my device Without departing from the scope of the claims.

In the drawings- Fig. 1 is a front view of my device, and

Fig. 2 isa side elevation thereof.

Asa primary source of operation of my device, any standard small type of electric motor may be used, such as 1, Fig. 2, it being mounted in a suitable manner upon a rubber footed base 2, the rubber feet 3 absorbing vibration and preventing sliding of the device, which'is intended, in some phases of its use, to be portable.

Upon the motor shaft 4 atone end may be located a polishing wheel 5, and at the other end, suitably and rigidl affixed thereto, a buffer driving dog 6, W ich comprises a hubbed disc 7 having an eccentrically arranged driving pin 8. The pin 8 is in operative engagement with a slotted metallic oscillating head, generally denoted by 9, Fig. 1, the lower end of which as at 10, is pivotally mounted in a base yoke 11, by means of a pivot pin 12.

The upper end of the oscillatinghead 9, is developed into a crescent-like buffer mount 13, upon which is suitably mounted a padded buffer 14, of suitable and usual in the direction of the alternated arrows there shown.

Any usual form of switch or'other control for opening or closing a source of electric current to the motor, through the wires DE, may be used to stop and start the motor 1, as desired.

In use, the motor is started, causing the buffer head to oscillate rapidly, and the finger nails are lightly pressed against the top face ofthe buffer pad '14,. which by reason of the oscillatory motion, acts to rapidly and efficiently buff the nails. After this operation, the finish on the nails may be completed by touching them against-thepolishing wheel 5.

Having thus described my invention what I claim is: i

i 1. A finger-nail buffer comprising a base,

a motor and anoscillatory buffer mounted thereon, means on said base for pivotally mounting said buffer for oscillatory motion thereon, and eccentric means on said motor engaging said buffer to cause oscillation thereof.

2. A finger-nail buffer and polisher comprising a motor having a shaft therein, a base for mounting the motor, an oscillatory buffer pivoted on said base, and eccentric means on one end of said shaft engageable with said buffer to oscillate the same.

3. A finger-nail buffer and'polisher comprising a motor having a shaftftherein, a base for mounting the motor, an oscillatory buffer pivoted on. said base, eccentric meanson one end of said shaft engageable with said buffer to oscillate the same and a polishing means on the opposite end of said motor shaft.

4. A nail buffer comprising a base, a mo- 1 tor thereon; an oscillatory buffer on said base; and means interposed between the oscillatory path of said buffer and said base to cause oscillation of the buifer.

5. A nail buffer comprising a. base, a motor thereon having a shaft; an oscillating buffer; and means including an eccentric member on said shaft interposed between the as. cillatory path ofsaid buffer and base for causing oscillation of the buffer.

6. A finger-nail buffer comprising a motor having a shaft; a buffer; a pivoted member carrying the buffer; an eccentric member carried on said shaft engaging said pivoted face of the buffer to describe a curvilinear member to cause oscillation of the buffer in path of which said means is the center of a path of which the eccentric member is the curvature. 1" center of curvature.
