Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional nail polish removal methods are messy, unsanitary, and inefficient, often damaging adjacent painted nails and lacking control over the amount of remover used, with existing products spilling and being inconvenient for travel.
Innovation Solution
A spray bottle design incorporating a nail polish remover, a replaceable absorbent cleaning material, and a built-in nail file attachment, allowing precise application and storage of cosmetic items, preventing spills and maintaining hygiene.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If conventional methods like cotton balls or wipes are used, then nail polish can be removed, but the remover spills and damages adjacent painted nails
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the nail polish removal process into controlled segments by using individual wipe elements that can be separated. Each wipe is a discrete unit that can be applied to a single nail, preventing accidental contact with adjacent nails. The wipes are arranged in a stack within the container, allowing the user to access only one wipe at a time.
Solution Approach 2:
The container design acts as an intermediary system that controls the interaction between the remover and the user's hand. The container holds multiple wipes in a structured arrangement, and the user interacts with the container rather than directly handling loose cotton balls or wipes, thereby gaining better control over the amount of remover applied.
2Reliability
If a container with sponge is used, then nail polish removal is possible, but the sponge becomes unclean and unsanitary for sharing
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs disposable wipe elements that are discarded after a single use. Each wipe is designed to be used once and then thrown away, eliminating the hygiene problem associated with reusable sponges. This approach prioritizes sanitation over reusability, ensuring that each user starts with a clean wipe.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of a single reusable sponge, the patent segments the cleaning function into multiple individual disposable wipes. Each wipe is a separate, sterile unit that can be used once and discarded, maintaining hygiene standards while performing the same cleaning function as a traditional sponge.
3Quantity of substance
If disposable packs are used, then hygiene is maintained, but there is not enough nail polish remover to completely remove polish
Solution Approach 1:
The patent pre-saturates each wipe with an adequate amount of nail polish remover during the manufacturing process. This preliminary action ensures that each disposable wipe contains sufficient remover to completely remove nail polish from a single nail, eliminating the problem of insufficient remover quantity while maintaining hygiene through single-use design.
4Measurement precision
If small amount of remover is used on a swab, then precision is improved, but spills occur on hands and clothes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the remover from a free-liquid state and incorporates it into solid or semi-solid wipe structures. The remover is embedded within the wipe material, which prevents spills and allows precise application. The user simply applies the pre-loaded wipe to the nail without handling loose liquid remover, eliminating the risk of spills on hands and clothes.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables efficient, sanitary, and controlled nail polish removal without damaging adjacent nails, with the ability to file nails and store cosmetic items in one device, improving convenience and hygiene during use.
Implementation Method 1
an absorbent cleaning material installed on an adhering surface of a sprayer of the spray bottle

AI summary
A spray bottle for storing a nail polish remover with a nail file attachment is provided. The spray bottle includes an upper container, a middle container, and a bottom container for storing a nail polish remover, cosmetic items, and refills of an absorbent cleaning material respectively. The spray bottle includes a spray attachment for dispensing the nail polish remover to the absorbent cleaning material attached to an adhering surface of a sprayer of the spray attachment. The sprayer sprays a required amount of the nail polish remover on one or more nails and allows removal of the nail polish from one or more nails without ruining adjacent painted nails and without spilling. After usage, the absorbent cleaning material is discarded and replaced with another absorbent cleaning material stored in the bottom container. The nail file attachment is attached to the bottom container. The nail file attachment is disposable and replaceable.
