Magnetic nail file and method of fabricating same

Abstract

The nail file includes a magnetized material layer and an abrasive surface. The magnetized material may be the base of a metal nail file or a magnetized layer in an emery board. In the latter case, the abrasive surface may be proximate one or both sides of the magnetized layer. A base layer may be interposed between the magnetized layer and abrasive surface.

Description

DESCRIPTION OR PRIOR ART INCLUDING INFORMATION DISCLOSED UNDER 37 CFR 1.97 AND 1.98 [0001] Finger nail files made of metal or of nonmetallic materials such as cardboard or wood, the latter commonly known as “emery boards” because of the use of emery minerals to form the abrasive surface, are widely known and used. However, none have been formed of magnetic material so that they can be removably attached to a metal surface and therefore be readily accessible when needed. [0002] For example, finger nails are often broken in the office during the course of inserting documents into or retrieving documents from a metal file cabinet, or at home while working in the kitchen. It would be extremely handy to have a finger nail file removably attached to the exterior surface of the file cabinet draw or the outside of the refrigerator door in such instances. However, conventional finger nail files do not have that capability. [0003] Further, emery boards provide a heretofore unused medium for d...

For example, finger nails are often broken in the office during the course of inserting documents into or retrieving documents from a metal file cabinet, or at home while working in the kitchen.

However, conventional finger nail files do not have that capability.

Further, emery boards provide a heretofore unused medium for displaying graphics for decorative purposes.
