Title:
ELECTRIC NAIL FILER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2024/053439
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Conventional electric nail filers are basically structured so as to shorten fingernails, and have problems that should be addressed, including the disadvantage for being unable to handle toenails that are too thick for a nail insertion opening thereof and the issue of failing to constantly file fingernails to have a uniform length when performing nail care. The method for removing filed nails has also been an issue. Said issue is attributed to the ill-formed shape of the nail insertion opening and the inappropriate way for arranging a filed nail powder removal fan. The present invention solves the problems by separately arranging hyponychium-abutting tip members in the upper part and lower part inside a file cover, and using the space between the upper and lower parts as a nail insertion opening for separately filing a fingernail and a toenail. Filing is performed by inserting and abutting an outer surface of the hyponychium-abutting tip member to a hyponychium at a fingertip, and bringing a nail into contact with a rotary file. For removing filed nail powder, a hose connection port is provided to the outer circumference of the file cover, a hose is connected thereto, and suctioning is performed by an external vacuum cleaner.
