Definitions

  • the present invention is generally directed to manicure or pedicure.
  • Manicuring implements including conventional fingernail files and emery boards generally include a flat abrasive surface for filing purposes.
  • Such nail files and emery boards generally include an abrasive paper laminated to a flat substrate made of wood, compressed paper, plastic, foam or the like.
  • flat metal nail files which include a knurled or scored surface which defines the abrasive surface.
  • the invention outlines a variety of different embodiments of a laminate manicure or pedicure device, with one or more longitudinal curves as shown in Figures 1 - 2.
  • Said curves are designed to aid users produce a curved nail shape without the problems mentioned above.
  • the curved design also utilises the length of the file and allows directional filing of the nail, a method proven to reduce nail damage.
  • Said laminate may include 1 or more layers of abrasive or buffer, on either the upper or under side; one of more flexible layers and or a support layer made from a variety of different materials.
  • the figures also show how the longitudinal curves may vary along the length of the file.
  • the latter can be challenging for fingers and toes due to either the shape and location of the nails, a lack of user dexterity or other extremities being in the way. This can be especially true for elderly users attempting to file their toe nails, which tend to be bunched close together and located in difficult positions to reach.
  • Figures 1 show various constructions of the improved manicure or pedicure device according to the invention.
  • Figures 2 show a variety of longitudinal sections of the improved device.
  • Figure 3 shows a construction of the improved manicure device with dimensional labels.
  • Figures 1 - 3 show a variety of possible longitudinal sectional shapes that the device may include. These illustrations do not include all possible forms and it should be noted that the device could have number of different curves, radii R or straight sections S. Said radii R may vary between 0 and 1000mm and each straight section between 0.1mm and 300mm.
  • the device may also be twisted along it length. Said twists may further improve the functioning of the device, specifically improving the ergonomics, aesthetics and functionality.
  • All the above designs may include 1 or more layers of flexible or compressible material to reduce damage to the nail during filing.
  • This layer may be made from plastic or natural foam, card, wood or any other material with flexible characterises.
  • the flexibility of the layer may alter along the length of the file; alternatively areas of the layer may have been removed to allow different levels of flexibility or greater contortion of the abrasive layer.
  • the upper and lower layer as outlined by the illustrations may be an abrasive of any level of coarseness, a buffer and or a polisher.
  • the material and or coarseness of said upper and or lower layer might also vary longitudinally or transversally. For example the coarseness or material may vary along the length of the device.
  • the different shapes proposed above may be enabled by either a specifically shaped semi rigid support piece made from either plastic, card, sealant, wood board or recycled material and or a layer of shaped foam made from either plastic, card, wood board or recycled material. Further more the support and flexibility could be provided by 1 piece of material. Said support and or flexible layer may be manufactured by a variety of methods none exclusively including extrusion, press moulding, hot press mounding or injection moulding.
  • abrasive paper is bent to allow the creation of the longitudinal curves outlined above. In these instances a high stress is put on the abrasive paper.
  • the abrasive may therefore be reinforced in some way, one such method may include reinforced tape being applied to the under surface of the abrasive paper in areas most likely to break.
  • the invention may also include, but not exclusively, these further objectives:
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a mirror as part the manicure implement.
  • a further object of the invention is to improve the filing by altering the level of coarseness of the grit on the manicuring tool, with the added possibility of making these levels variable on the same tool.
  • the implement may have both smooth and coarse portions.
  • the implement could include an amount of a rheo- chromic material capable of changing colour if the user applies too much pressure during application of the implement, so to prevent damage to the nail and or cuticle.
  • Still another object of the invention is to be able to produce the manicuring tool to any specific size or shape, such as but not limited to an asymmetrical design.
  • Yet another object of the invention is to incorporate a variety of novel features such as, but not limited to a sound chip embedded into the manicuring tool capable of presenting varied audible messages, a light emitting diode with memory chip, a light emitting diode which illuminates one or more fibre optic thread; or a single or muti-lens image projector capable of projecting a moving or holographic image.

Abstract

La présente invention porte sur un dispositif de manucure ou de pédicurie perfectionné comportant une ou plusieurs courbes longitudinales. Ces courbes sont conçues pour aider les utilisateurs à obtenir un ongle courbé tout en réduisant les compétences, le temps, la concentration, la dextérité et la rotation du dispositif et/ou de l'ongle nécessaires à l'accomplissement de cette action. Cette invention permet en outre d'améliorer l'aspect esthétique et l'ergonomie du dispositif de manucure ou de pédicurie.
