Nail File

Abstract

There is disclosed a nail file used to trim or polish the fingernails or the toenails. Conventionally, there has been suggested a nail file having attached a abrasive paper with a roughness on the surface of the stick shaped as a flat plate, or attached abrasive papers with different roughnesses partially, however, several problems have been caused, such as they were very inconvenient to use, and new file should be exchanged if any one of the abrasive papers runs out of its durability, so that it becomes a burden economically. To overcome these problems, there is provided a nail file including: a file body 20 having gripping recesses 21 and 22 formed at both sides thereof, and a plurality of attachment surfaces 23 formed on an outer surface thereof, each of the attachment surfaces having a curved surface depressed inwardly therefrom in such a manner as to be oriented to be orthogonal to the gripping recesses 21 and 22; and a plurality of abrasive papers 31, 32, 33 and 34 attached detachably to the attachment surfaces 23 via an adhesive member 40 and having different roughnesses. Accordingly, the inventive nail file has advantageous effect in that it is easy and convenient to perform the trimming and polishing of the fingernails, because the abrasive papers having different roughness are attached to the attachment surfaces formed depressedly inwardly therefrom, it is easy to grip the nail file so that the worker becomes tireless in spite of a long-term work of the nail filing because the gripping recesses are formed at both sides of the file body, and it is convenient to use and it becomes very economic because the abrasive papers can be exchanged.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a nail file, and more particularly, to a nail file, which is capable of trimming fingernails or toenails by cutting or abrading them.BACKGROUND ART[0002]In general, the fingernails or the toenails of a person continuously grow, and hence a part of them should be cut or trimmed periodically. In this regard, a file with metal divisions for abrading or a nail file with an abrasive paper is employed to trim the fingernails, and the like.[0003]As shown in FIG. 1, the conventional nail file is constructed such that abrasive layers 11, 12, 13 having different roughnesses are formed at both surfaces of a stick 10 made of synthetic resin with proper elasticity.[0004]However, in case of the conventional nail file, it is very difficult to effectively use the abrasive layers 11, 12, 13 having different roughnesses, and a problem is caused that it is not convenient to perform the filing work of the nail, and the like, because the stick 10 is ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0010]Therefore, according to the present invention, the inventive nail file has advantageous effect in that it is easy and convenient to perform the trimming and polishing of the fingernails, because the abrasive papers having different roughness are attached to the attachment surfaces formed depressedly inwardly therefrom, it is easy to grip the nail file so that the worker becomes tireless in spite of a long-term work of the nail filing because the gripping recesses are formed at both sides of the file body, and it is convenient to use and it becomes very economic because the abrasive papers can be exchanged.

Problems solved by technology

However, in case of the conventional nail file, it is very difficult to effectively use the abrasive layers 11, 12, 13 having different roughnesses, and a problem is caused that it is not convenient to perform the filing work of the nail, and the like, because the stick 10 is formed in a rectilinear shape.

Furthermore, it is impossible to exchange the abrasive layers 11, 12, 13 partially after the use, and in addition, if any one of the abrasive layers 11, 12, 13 with different roughnesses runs out of its durability, they should be exchanged as a whole, so that economical loss has been caused.

Also, the use of the thin stick causes a user to suffer from an inconvenience of use such as cramping and tiredness in the hand at the time of long-term work of the nail filing.
