Patented July 19, 1932 7 nivmnnos e. nALMAs, OF o-AKLAiIncAnronmn jlunmounme nnvion imam flledJuly 27, 1931} Serial No. 553,531.
The invention relates'to ahand device for manicuring finger nails. k j g An object of the invention isto provide a device of the character described in which will be combined in a single unit allof the various tools-and appliances necessary or desirable for effecting the different manicuring g g 1 tensions 9 wh1ch are arr'a'nged for cooperatfoiij operations. y Another objectis to'provide a device ofthe character describedv by which the different manicuring operations may be efiected in a very efficient manner. I The invention possesses other objects and features of advantage, some of which, with i5 the fore'goin will be set forthvin the fol lowing description of the preferred'form or the invention which is-illustrated in the draw- 'ing accompanyingan'd forming part of the specification. It is to be understood, however, that variations in the showing made by the said drawing and description may be adopted within the 'scope' of'the invention as set forth in the claims; I
' Referring tothe drawing:
I Figure 1 is an end view of, the device ofmy invention. r
Figure 2 is aside elevation of the device, with a portion broken away to disclose some of the inner construction.
' 3 Figure 3 is an end viewof the device viewed from the end opposite tothat shown in Fig} urelh Figure 4 is a bottom view of the device. Figure 5 is an enlarged fragmentary side view of the file surface provided on the inner As illustrated the drawing, the device of my invention comprises a pair of arms or plates 2 and 3 which preferably normally diverge outwardly and are formed together. with a connectingportion 4 as integral parts of a single strip of spring metal. Extending .a'ngu'larlyfrom the, ends 6' of -the arms, are
shearing plates? which as-shown in Figure I are sharpened on their free edges and; ar: ranged for cooperation so as to function as a;
scissors when the arms are'moved to and from each other. Similarly, attheothererids 8 ofthe arms are provided curved shearii'lg eat so'as to provide a nail clip er, the shearing edges being as indicated in Figure 3, normally 0 spaced and ofsu'ch form that upon inward movement of the arms the nails may-be severed by a shearing rather than asl'icing action. 'Itwillbe evident that since the de vice is formed of a springy material, alt rnate as pressure and release of the arms' 'wi-ll e'ifect the necessary movement of the'arms to-cause the cuttingoperation. It will now b'e' seen-that without the addition of separate partsjthere is'eflectively provided botha nail clipper and 7o i a scissors for cutting the nails and thes'ki'n thereabout. As a means of cuttingthe cuticle at the base of thenails the corner extremities of, the arms are sharpened and curved-inconformity with such cuticle portion. 7'5
Means are provided for permitting the use of my device the filing of thenails'in a particularly effective manner with little eli'o'rt'or skill u'ponthep'artof the user: Provided on the inner-side of the arm 2 i's a file as surface 11 the teeth 12fo' f --wh ichfl extend lengthwise of; the armirom practically one end thereof to the other." 'Inlus'ing thisfile,
the finger is inserted between thetwoarms sothat the front of the finger may-rest on 1 i theouter edge 13 of the arm 3' with theinai l in engagement with the; file surface the" de- 7 vice is" then movedso'that the arm 2moves across the nail whilethe finger isiolled slight;
lytogive the ro ercurvature-totheefige 55 I of the nail. Preferably the teeth are in clined away from theouter edge of-theiarm I V 7 so that the filing is etf'ected' as the device is moved fr'om the naili- It isgtobenoted that since the filing iswdone with theldevicea ful V crumed -on the finger,the edgeof the nailiwill v be: rounded inqcro'ss section-in. the approved manner: i "i fm 'r-i I (it Provided: on the inner.sideofthefarmfiis g a file surface here show ircomprising sections "I0 15 and 16 extending from-thecenter of the arm to the ends 6 and 8r'espectively, and hav-' ing: teeth which extendat right angles to the teeth on the arm 2. As will be clear from Figure 6, the-teeth offsection 15 are inclined V,
toward-the end '6 while the teeth of section 16 are inclined toward the adjacent end 8.
"In usingthis file, the fingeris placedbetween thearms as in the use of the file 11, but in 're'versed'relation, that is, with the front of the finger against the edge of arm? and th'e nail against one or other, of thesections one ofithe arms, preferably nearand along theiouteredge thereof, a groove 17 on the bottomof which is formed asuitablefiling surface 18. In the use of the file, the nail is placedwithinthe groove and then recipro- 'catedwoverjthe file surface, the nailbeing guided during the filing operation by the, sides of the roove. Along the edge 13 0f the arm 3 I pre erably provide an undulated sur I face whereby such edgemayb'e inserted under the nail and drawn therealong to remove any foreign matter thatmay have collected on the skin adjacent thereto. v r
IIlgOIdGI to complete the usual manicuring operation, I affix on the outerrside of the conn'ec'ting portionfl of the device, a brush 19 having bristles 21 suitable for polishingthe nails: Likewise a narrow row of bristles 22 extends downward alongthe'outer side of one 7 of the arms vThe latterarrangeinent is effective for'cleaning under the-nails, since the arm maybe used as a guidefor the fingers when they are ybeingdrawn across-the arm withthe bristles entered under the nails.
