Embodiment Construction

[0021]Referring first to FIGS. 1 and 2, an electronic nail file or nail trimming apparatus, generally indicated at 11, is shown. Nail file apparatus 11 is defined by a substantially U-shaped moulded body 13 made of plastic or metal. Body 13 includes a longitudinally extending handle portion 15 and an integrally formed longitudinally extending base portion 17. Handle portion 15 and base 17 are co-extensive with and spaced from one another. Body 13 is further defined by top wall 19, side walls 21 and bottom wall 23. Handle portion 15 of apparatus 11 is formed with a selectively removable front panel 20 (see FIG. 3) for enabling access inside apparatus 11.

[0022]Referring to FIG. 3, the inside of apparatus 11 is now shown. Apparatus 11 is formed with a pair of tubular compartments 33 for removably housing a pair of replaceable batteries 31 within handle portion 15. Rearwardly of battery compartments 33 is a motor 35 fixedly mounted within apparatus 11. Motor 35 is an electrical communic...

Abstract

An apparatus for trimming a person's nails is provided. The apparatus comprises a body having a longitudinally extending handle that is connected to a longitudinally extending base with the base being co-extensive with and spaced from the handle. Housed within the body is a power supply for supplying power to the device as well as an electrical drive device that is powered by a power supply. The base of the apparatus has a bottom portion having a longitudinally extending support or mounting plate. The support or mounting plate removably captures an emery board or similar nail file element. The support or mounting plate is mechanically coupled to the drive device and is reciprocally moveable in a longitudinal direction in response to the drive device being electrically activated.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates to filing and / or trimming fingernails and toenails, and, more particularly, to an electrical apparatus for filing and / or trimming fingers or toenails by selectively applying a moving surface.[0002]A conventional way of trimming one's fingernails or toenails is with the use of a nail clipper or a scissor. These devices leave the nail course or jagged edged, and it is common to file the edge of the nail with either an “emery” board or sometimes with a metallic file in order to smooth out the nail edge. Emery boards are pieces of hard wood or wood-like board which have emery affixed or have emery paper glued to them, thereby rendering them both coarse and flexible. They are widely used by individuals and beauty shop manicurists to shape and smoothen the nail. Because emery boards are made inexpensively so as to be disposable, they are a sanitary alternative to metal nail files. The flexibility of an emery board also makes this met...
