Apparatus for trimming the nails

An apparatus for trimming the nails, comprising a casing, an electric motor in said casing, a rotary shaft in said casing driven by said motor, a socket, a grinding-wheel mounted for rotary motion in said socket, a flexible wire connecting said rotary shaft to said grinding-wheel for driving said wheel together with said shaft, a sheath surrounding said wire, said sheath having one end secured to said casing and the other end connected to said socket, and grooves provided in the outer surface of said casing, said grooves having sizes adapted to said sheath in order to enable tightly fitting said sheath into said grooves upon winding said sheath and said wire around said casing without disconnecting said wire from said shaft, said casing having a front wall to which said sheath is connected, two opposed side walls on either side of said motor and being substantially parallel to the motor axis, and a rear wall, said grooves being provided in said opposed side walls in order that said sheath and said wire form a loop beyond said rear wall upon winding them around said casing, and said sheath being fitted in said grooves strongly enough in order that said loop constitutes a handle permitting the apparatus to be hung thereby.
