NAIL FILING APPARATUS FOR FACILITATING FILING OF NAILS

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

Generally, the present disclosure relates to the field equipment for cosmetics. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a nail filing apparatus for facilitating filing of nails.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The field of equipment for cosmetics is technologically important to several industries, business organizations, and/or individuals. In particular, the use of equipment for cosmetics is prevalent for nail filing apparatuses for facilitating filing of nails.

Existing techniques for facilitating filing of nails are deficient with regard to several aspects. For instance, current technologies do not allow users to interchangeably switch between different grits of sandpaper. Furthermore, current nail filers have an abrasive surface that either cannot be changed or can only be replaced once it is used up. Moreover, current technologies do not allow users to file the nails of pets with one grit and then change the grit of the abrasive for shaping or smoothing while using the same device. Individual sticks with different grits glued to them are interchangeable but they do not allow filing nails with different grits using a single device.

Therefore, there is a need for an improved nail filing apparatus for facilitating filing of nails that may overcome one or more of the above-mentioned problems and/or limitations.
