Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to devices for human nail and foot care, in particular to hand held nail groomers.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Portable hand held devices for grooming hands and feet are well known in the art.

Both men and women cannot maintain clean and neat nails and groomed feet with the busy schedules and require a quick and simple way to maintain nail and foot hygiene. They are particularly useful for trimming and smoothing nails when away from home or when one does not have the time and/or the money to visit a nail salon. Furthermore, they have the added convenience of working with a motorized device and do not require excess manual labor.

Several manicuring devices for fingernail grooming are known. Fingernail grooming includes trimming, shaping, filing, cuticle removing, cuticle pushing, polishing, buffing and cleaning. These devices usually include a separate casing enclosing a motor for operating a detachable grooming accessory. An alternate approach is one which stores the casing holding the motor inside a larger casing holding the bits. Consequently, the casing of this invention is of a size not easily carried in a ladies' purse or bag especially when one already carries in it cosmetics, a telephone, a wallet, a palm, a brush and others. One device can store bits, but does not have a small design and is not a hand and foot hygiene device.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings. Identical elements in the various figures are identified with the same reference numerals.

Reference will now be made in detail to embodiment of the present invention. Such embodiments are provided by way of explanation of the present invention, which is not intended to be limited thereto. In fact, those of ordinary skill in the art may appreciate upon reading the present specification and viewing the present drawings that various modifications and variations can be made thereto.

FIG. 1A. is a side view of the preferred embodiment of the present invention. Shown are a nail groomer 100, a nail groomer body 110, a bottom detachable section 120, detachable rings 130, a power switch 180, a tip assembly 200, a tip assembly door 205, and finger indentations 230. The nail groomer 100 may preferably have a spherical shape or any other shape and at least one tip assembly 200 that is moveably connected to the groomer body 110. The tip assembly 200 may be twisted onto the nail groomer body 110 or be snapped on. The exterior of the tip assembly 200 contains a tip assembly door 205, and finger indentations 230, which are useful in achieving a good grip to untwist or pry open the tip assembly 200. For example, a user of the present invention, may be in the midst of applying makeup, crèmes, or may simply be in a hurry, and will therefore not be able to exert a strong enough grip on the cover 205. Using the finger indentations 230, or perhaps in another embodiment, using frictional bumps or other frictional elements avoids having to use an especially tight grip on the tip assembly 200, in order to open the tip assembly door 205, so as to reveal the tip 190 (FIG. 5B), which is part of the present invention that directly acts on nails or skin.

The nail groomer 100 has a tip assembly 200 that closes, or a tip assembly 200 that may be partially open to accommodate a nail, for example. This tip assembly 200 may be moveably connected to the nail groomer body 110 by a hinge (not shown), or may be a screw-type device (not shown). When closed, the groomer tip assembly 200 can protect the attached accessory 210 (FIG. 5b), which is a general name for an individual tip 190. The tip assembly 200 may have several sections, one section that covers the tip 190 on one side and partially reveals it on the other. For safety, a door may 205 may slide sideways over the tip assembly section 200 that partially uncovers the attached accessory 210. The finger indentations 230 may still be present, however they may be biased towards the direction of the twisting motions of the tip assembly door 205. The tip assembly 200 may also hold scrapings from the nails or feet, for easy disposal of the nail pieces and scrapings. In another embodiment, the present invention may contain an intake valve that may be connected to a miniature vacuum. The miniature vacuum would cause enough suction to pull in and store the majority of the nail shavings, so that the physical area where a person was utilizing the present invention remains clean and free of unappetizing debris.

The nail groomer 100 optionally contains a suction cup to provide for hands-free usage. The suction cup may be attached to the nail groomer in numerous ways. For example, it may be built-in directly to the nail groomer, it may snap on and off or it may twist on and off.

In another embodiment, the nail groomer fits 100 ergonomically in the human hand. This ergonomic shape may be made of rubber, foam, neoprene and may be smooth or may have raised bumps or a by kind of texture. The material may also assist in preventing slippage of the nail groomer from the hand, especially when hands are wet. Other ergonomic features may be specially applied designs or frictional grips

The nail groomer 100, its body 110, detachable rings 130 and accessories 210 may be made of may be made from any material, including but not limited to: plastics and resins including but not limited to plastic, rubber, foam, silicone, ABS, Polycarbonate, Noryl™, PVC, Polystryrene, ABS/PVC, PVC/Acrylic, Polysulfone, Acrylic, Polyethylene, Kydex™, PETG; glass, including but not limited to fiberglass, borosilicate, or quartz; wood; metals, including but not limited to iron, tin, aluminum, copper; rubber including but not limited to natural rubber, SBR, Isoprene rubber, Butadiene rubber, and Chloroprene rubber; or any combinations or composites of these materials or other materials and new materials that may be manufactured in the future. The parts to the nail groomer 100 may be manufactured using identical or different materials.

The nail groomer 200 should preferably be between 2 and 4 inches high 102 and between 1.4 and 3 inches wide 104. In the preferred embodiment of the nail groomer body 110 being substantially elliptical, the width 104 is referring to the diameter of the thickest point of the elliptical body 110. The power switch 180 may preferably be located along the body 110, where it can easily be activated by one of the fingers of a hand that is holding the device. However it can be located in any other location and may be a toggle switch, a depressible switch, or a shifting switch, or any other power switch 180.

Power switches 180 are generally simple devices and are well known in the art. A toggle switch is one where, for example, a button is pressed and released to complete a circuit and enable the flow of electrons. Pressing and releasing the power switch 180 again will disable the device since the internal flow of electricity would be disrupted. A depressible switch is one which needs to be pressed and which stays depressed while the device is active, and a shifting switch is one where an arrow or a pointer shifts sideways, or up and down into an ON position or an OFF position. Any of these power switches 180 may be utilized with the present invention. In another embodiment, the present invention may contain a variable switch or a power variation switch, which may regulate the rotational speed of the motor 320 (FIG. 3A).

An electric motor 320 is well known in the art and may preferably be a miniature electric motor.

A preferred class of motors 320 may be, but not limited to a brushless or coreless DC motor, for a purely battery powered embodiment, or for an embodiment where an A/C adaptor only functions as a charger for the batteries 350; a universal motor may be used for embodiments of the invention that are utilizing either A/C current or a DC current. It is desirable that the motor may produce between 10000 and 35000 revolutions per minute (RPM), so that the device is both effective and efficient. The power may come from A/C adaptor, which may function at 220 V or 110 V. In a battery power embodiment, the preferred combination are any combinations of two to three AA batteries producing 1.5 V each. For smaller embodiments of the present invention, AAA batteries may be used, taking into account that such miniaturization may lead to shorter operating time of the device between charging or battery replacements. A single PP3 battery may be used if a higher voltage is desired or necessary. Other combinations or power sources may also be adapted for use in the present invention

The storage compartment 310 may preferably be moveably connected to the inside of the nail groomer chamber 300 by a spring-loaded device (spring not shown). In such an embodiment, a spring will be fully or substantially depressed and under maximum lateral tension when the storage compartment 310 is completely submerged within the nail groomer chamber 300. A latch not shown may hold the storage compartment 310 in place while fully submerged. Alternatively, the storage compartment may be prevented from emerging by the bottom detachable section 120. In another embodiment, the storage compartment 310 may slide out by force of gravity or by being pulled out with fingers. In such an embodiment the storage compartment 310 may move along small rails (not shown) built into the groomer chamber 300. The storage compartment 310 may be located behind a door (not shown) which may be a separate component or may be one of the detachable rings 130 (FIG. 3B). Any item functioning as a door that conceals the nail groomer chamber 300, should preferably be located at the bottom of the nail groomer body 110. The storage compartment 310 is made to hold one or more, batteries 350, a motor 320 and one or more accessories or tips 210.

Shown in this figure are detachable bottom section 120, detachable rings 130, a detachable recessed attachment metal file for foot 150, a detachable recessed attachment pumice stone 160, a holder handle 500, and handle connector 510. The handle 500 should be preferably between two and 4 inches long and contain a connector 510, wich may preferably be a spingloaded camp, which clasps unto a side 140 of the detachable ring 130. The handle 500 may be composed of telescoping sections, so that it may be able to be folded and stored within the storage compartment 310.

Each detachable ring 130 may fixate unto the nail groomer body 110 or to another ring 130 in a twist on or snap-on connection. A twist on connection would mean that the devices contain a twist-on thread, whereas a snap on connection would mean that one component may have a tongue portion of the snap, while the other a latch portion of the snap. However, the tongue and latch may be intermixed as well. The detachable rings 130 are capable of turning into foot grooming devices by having abrasive surfaces, such as, but not limited to emery files, metal file scrapers and pumice stones. A detachable ring 130 may be dual-sided with one side having a metal scraper or file 150 with the other being a pumice stone 160. Any other combination is also possible, for example one both sides representing metal files 150 or pumice stones 160 of different grades.

If the bottom most detachable ring 130 is dual-sided then the present invention may additionally contain a flat convex of concave cap bottom 540 (FIG. 6), so that a person handling the nail groomer 100 will not come to inadvertently get injured or incur any property damage, by inadvertently handling an abrasive side of the a detachable ring 130. Such a cap may fit over the rings 130 and conceal them, or attach to the bottom of the bottom most ring 130. The detachable rings 130 or the handle 500 may attach to each other and the detachable ring 130 to the nail groomer body 110 by means already disclosed, or by any means known to those skilled in the art. The detachable rings 130 may be recessed in shape to accept one of the above metal files, emery files, pumice stones and foot scrapers.

FIG. 4 shows one application of the nail groomer 100, with the device being held in one hand while a nail of the other hand is being worked on. Similarly, the nail groomer 100 may be held in one's hand to treat the nails of the feet. An application of a metal scraper 150 or a pumice stone 160 is not shown, but may be easily conjured as a series of methodical lateral motions that scrape off any undesirable callus layer of the skin.

FIG. 5A shows an array of attachments 210 or tips 190. An attachment contains a tip 190 together with a tip assembly 220. The tip connector 220 may be a rod, preferably made of metal, but may be made from a polymer, plastic, PVC or a composite material. However, in some embodiments the tips 190 may represent the detachable section of accessories 210, where the tip connector 220 may represent an integral portion of the motor 320.

The present invention may be marketed or adapted to utilize multiple attachments 210. Some of the attachments include, but are not limited to a hand held nail filer, nail buffer, cleaning brush, metal file, one or more cone-shaped nail files, flat head nail files, rounded nail files and files of differing grinding grades, and any other accessories for grooming hands and feet. Attachments 210 may be built directly into the nail groomer body 110 or intimately attached such as with a tip clamp 250 (FIG. 5B). The attachments 210 may be on a hinge, or may snap in and out, or may screw in or out, or any combination thereof. Another attachment 210 may be used for the removal of hair. A further attachment 210 may be an orbital shaped foot sander. In another embodiment, attachments 210 may be made of materials which are embedded with crystals which may be used to smooth surfaces. The crystals may be made of any material known to those in the art. Furthermore the attachments may be of many sizes and shapes to accommodate their intended purpose and to accommodate the site of the body part being treated or groomed. To fit within the tip assembly 200, an attachment 210 should preferably be no longer than a half an inch in length. However, without a tip assembly door 205 being in place the attachment 210 may be of any length necessary to treat or groom a particular condition.

FIG. 5B is a perspective drawing of the preferred embodiment of the present invention with the tip 190 exposed and the tip assembly door 205 removed. The door assembly 205 may also be moved out of the way by being disposed on a hinge (not shown) or on a set of rails (not shown). One plus of such an embodiment, is that the tip assembly door 205 may not get lost during the operation of the present invention.
