The disclosure and prior art relates to eyeliner pencils and more particularly pertains to a new eyeliner pencil for being able to use a single tool for both applying eyeliner and filing nails.
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a pencil body having a top end, a bottom end, and a shaft extending therebetween. A pencil core is coaxially coupled within the shaft from the top end to the bottom end. The bottom end of the pencil body is sharpenable to expose the pencil core. An abrasive skin is continuously coupled around the shaft from the top end to the bottom end and is configured to file a user's fingernails.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
As best illustrated in
An abrasive skin 28 is continuously coupled around the shaft 18 from the top end 14 to the bottom end 16. The abrasive skin 28 may be sprayed on or may be an applied sheet such as an emery paper. The abrasive skin 28 is configured to file a user's fingernails. A grip 30 is coupled to the abrasive skin 38 and is configured to be secured by the user to prevent contact between the abrasive skin 28 and the user's fingers. The abrasive skin 28 is slideable along the shaft 18 as the bottom end 16 is sharpened and the shaft 18 shortens. The grip 30 may have a plurality of ridges 32 radially extending around the shaft 18. Each of the plurality of ridges 32 has a width 34 equal to half a distance 36 between adjacent ridges 32 to provide further grip and prevent shavings from the shaft 18 or other substances from getting stuck between ridges 32.
In use, the apparatus 10 is secured by the grip 30 and used either as a traditional pencil or as a nail file. The bottom end 16 is sharpened as desired using a standard pencil sharpener.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
