As best seen in FIGS. 2 and 3, pedicure file 10 comprises identically configured cap members 12 and 14 that are removably attached together to form a housing having a hollow interior. A ridge 16 is positioned around the periphery of the exterior surface of cap member 12. Diametrically spaced gaps 16a are disposed through ridge 16 for reasons that will be explained below. An identical ridge 16 with gaps is formed on the exterior surface of cap member 14, the external appearance of cap member 14 being symmetrical to the external appearance of cap member 12 shown in FIG. 2. Each ridge 16 defines a shallow recess in the outer surface of its respective cap member 12, 14. Each cap member 12, 14 is provided with diagonally slanted ribs 18 and undercuts 20. Ribs 18 and undercuts 20 are offset on each cap 12, 14 so that the ribs 18 present a continuous surface when the caps 12, 14 are atta...

Abstract

The pedicure file includes a housing having a hollow interior, the housing being configured in an ovate-like shape. Two identically configured cap members are attached together to form the housing. Outer surfaces of the housing are designed to support removable and disposable abrasive pads thereon. The pads are employed to scrape away calluses from the skin. Ridge and gap structures disposed along the periphery of the outer surfaces to allow for easy placement and removal of the pads. A channel is formed around the housing to form an ergonomic gripping surface. A plurality of replacement pads are stored in the interior of the housing.
