Description




BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION




1. Field of the Invention




The present invention relates to a nail caring table, and in particular to a nail caring table having a vacuum purifier in which a customer cap keep a comfortable posture when a customer's nail is cared or an artificial nail is attached to a customer's nail or in which it is possible to suck a waste and bad smell which occur when caring a customer's nail and attaching an artificial nail to a customer's nail for thereby more effectively cleaning the above.




2. Description of the Background Art




Recently, as a beauty-related industry advances, people has a big attention on a nail caring. A long and colored beautiful nail is recognized as increasing the beauty of a woman. Modern women spend a lot time and effort for caring her nails.




Generally, an artificial nail is formed in a certain shape and is formed of a synthetic resin, etc. The user applies an adhesive to a natural nail and attaches a commercially available artificial nail to a natural nail. Thereafter, the user reshapes her nails based on her taste.




However, it is very difficult to attach an artificial nail to her natural nail for herself. In addition, even if the user attaches an artificial nail to her natural nail for herself, the artificial nail may not be properly attached, so that an outer appearance of the nail may be damaged.




Due to the above problems, the user uses a nail caring shop in which a customer's nail is effectively cared.




The above nail shop has a nail caring table for thereby providing a customer with a comfort when caring the customer's nails. In addition, the nail caring table includes a suction apparatus which is capable of removing dusts which occur when caring the customer's nails and a bad smell which occurs from an adhesive when attaching an artificial nail to a customer's natural nail.




The conventional nail caring table will be described as follows.





FIG. 1A

is a perspective view illustrating a conventional nail caring table.

FIG. 1B

is a front view illustrating a conventional nail caring table.




As shown therein, a nail caring table


10


includes a board


11


which includes one surface in which a customer who wants an artificial nail attachment or a nail caring service and a worker who attaches an artificial nail and cares a customer's nail sit opposite each other, and the other opened surface which is arranged opposite to the above one surface, a suction portion


13


having a net


12


through which dusts occurring when caring an artificial nail after a worker attaches an artificial nail to a customer's natural nail and a bad smell occurring when attaching an adhesive are sucked, and a suction apparatus


14


which purifies air and dusts which are sucked through the suction portion


13


.




However, in the above conventional nail caring table


10


, since a certain paper scrap or thin cloth is provided on an upper surface of the net


12


formed in the suction portion


13


for preventing a piece of natural nail or a piece of artificial nail from flowing in except for air or dusts when a worker attaches an artificial nail to a customer's natural nail, a suction force of the suction portion


13


is decreased. In addition, an adhesive applied on a customer's natural nail for attaching an artificial nail to a customer's nail by a worker is formed of a high volatility adhesive for thereby quickly attaching an artificial nail. Therefore, a bad smell is quickly spread from an adhesive when the adhesive is applied. Therefore, the suction portion


13


provided below the hands of the customer and worker is not capable of efficiently sucking the above bad smell. In addition, since the suction apparatus


14


provided for sucking the dusts and air is installed in a lower surface of the board


11


, the noise and vibrations of the suction apparatus


13


may be directly transferred to the customer and worker.
