Benefits of technology

[0007]Objects, features and advantages of the present invention include the ability to file the nails of an uncooperative fauna with one hand that both supports and manipulates the nails to be filed and performs the actual filing. Other advantages include the ability to cradle an infant with one arm which performing the filing method with the hand of the other arm. Moreover, the design is relatively simple and inexpensive to manufacture.

Problems solved by technology

Often, the member is made of an inexpensive material such as plastic and the abrasive layer has a limited useful life generally making the nail file disposable.
Slightly more expensive nail files utilize an abrasive pad, as oppose to a coating.
The metallic nail files often have a handle at one end with the abrasive surfaces on the other end, and are typically more expensive than the disposable nail files but have a longer useful life.
Unfortunately, when the nail filer or technician is filing the nails of another, one hand of the nail filer is dedicated to grasping the nail file.
When a person or fauna, in general, is uncooperative, the nail filer is limited in ability to further control or brace the subject.

Embodiment Construction

[0019]Referring now to FIGS. 1-3 of the drawings, a nail file assembly 20 of the present invention is illustrated having a nail file sub-assembly 22 and preferably a human hand 24 of a nail filer 26 having a plurality of indexes 28 that preferably has a thumb 30 and four fingers 32. The assembly 20 is utilized to file nails 34 of a generally uncooperative fauna 36 such as a human infant or baby. As illustrated, the filer 26 may be a mother holding her baby being the fauna 36. The thumb 30 of the right hand 24 of the mother 26 preferably carries the file sub-assembly 22 leaving the fingers 32 of the right hand 24 free to manipulate, grasp and / or brace the index(s) of the baby 36 that has the nail 34 to be filed. With the right hand 24 performing both filing and bracing functions, a left arm 38 of the mother 26 is free to cradle and support the baby 36.

[0020]Referring to FIGS. 2-5, the sub-assembly 22 is illustrated in a stored state 40. A sheet 42 of the sub-assembly 22 is generally ...

Abstract

A nail file assembly includes a file sub-assembly that secures preferably to an index of a human hand. The sub-assembly has a flexible sheet having an outer surface that carries an abrasive layer and an opposite inner surface that preferably carries at least in-part a fastener for securing the sheet to the index. With the sub-assembly secured to the index, the remaining indexes of the hand are free to manipulate and support the indexes of an uncooperative fauna that carry respective nails to be filed. When filing, the index of the assembly and which carryies the sub-assembly is free to pivot back and forth across the nail of the fauna.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a nail file and more particularly to a nail file assembly for use on an uncooperative fauna and method of utilizing the same.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Nail files are used to round, shorten and define nails most commonly on the feet and hands of homosapiens. Known nail files typically have an abrasive layer or coating mounted on opposite sides of a rigid and elongated member. Often, the member is made of an inexpensive material such as plastic and the abrasive layer has a limited useful life generally making the nail file disposable. Slightly more expensive nail files utilize an abrasive pad, as oppose to a coating. This pad has a cushioning effect for improved filing in some applications. Other nail files have a member made of metal with an abrasive surface integrated into opposite side of the metallic member itself. The abrasive surface may even be impregnated with diamond particulate to enhance filing efficiency. ...
