Abstract
The present invention relates to a nail file/buffer which has a core with at least two layers of resilient material on at least one side of the core and has at least one abrasive surface. The device provides means for even and efficient natural and artificial nail filing and buffing regardless of the size and shape of the nail to be filed and/or buffed. The structure and configuration of the device provide sufficient flexibility so the device easily conforms to the size and shape of the nail to be filed or buffed and, therefore, maximizes the surface area of the nail worked on at any one time. In addition, the structure and configuration of the device provide sufficient rigidity so the device remains easy to manipulate.
Claims19
A nail tool comprising
- at least one of a nail buffer or a nail file having
- a core layer with at least one side,
- at least two layers of resilient material wherein the material comprises at least one of foam and rubber on at least one side of said core layer and with at least one outside surface, and
- an abrasive material on at least one outside surface of said resilient material.
A nail tool comprising
- at least one of a nail buffer or a nail file having
- a core layer with at least one side,
- at least two layers of resilient material wherein the material comprises at least one of foam and rubber of differing densities on at least one side of said core layer and with at least one outside surface, and
- an abrasive material on at least one outside surface.
A nail tool comprising
- at least one of a nail buffer or a nail file having
- a core layer with at least one side,
- at least tow layers of resilient material wherein the material comprises at least one of foam and rubber of differing thicknesses on at least one side of said core layer and with at least one outside surface, and
- an abrasive material on at least one outside surface.
A nail tool comprising
- at least one of a nail buffer or a nail file having
- a core layer with two sides,
- two layers of resilient material wherein the material comprises at least one of foam and rubber of differing densities on each side of said core layer and with two outside surfaces, and
- an abrasive material on each of the two outside surfaces of the resilient material.
A method of at least one of filing and buffing a human fingernail or toenail surface comprising the steps of
- (1) pressing a nail tool having an abrasive surface and multiple layers of resilient material wherein the material comprises at least one of foam and rubber on at least one side of a core against a human nail surface,
- (2) abrading the human nail with the abrasive surface of said tool.
A nail tool comprising at least one of a nail buffer or a nail file having
- a core layer with at least one side,
- at least two layers of foam on at least one side of said core layer and with at least one outside surface, and
- an abrasive material on at least one outside surface of the foam.
A nail tool comprising at least one of a nail buffer or a nail file having
- a core layer with two sides,
- two layers of foam of differing densities on each side of said core and with two outside surfaces, and
- an abrasive material on each of the two outside surfaces of the foam.
A method of at least one of filing and buffing a fingernail or toenail surface comprising the steps of
- (1) pressing a nail tool having an abrasive surface and multiple layers of foam on at least one side of a core against a human nail surface, and
- (2) abrading the human nail with the abrasive surface of said tool.
A nail tool comprising at least one of a nail buffer or a nail file having
- a thin rigid core with two sides,
- a first layer of foam laminated to each side of the core and each having an outer surface,
- a second layer of foam laminated to each outer surface of the first layer of foam, having different density from the first layer of foam, and each having an outer surface, and
- an abrasive material laminated to each outer surface of the second layer of foam.
A nail tool comprising at least one of a nail buffer or a nail file having
- a thin rigid core with two sides,
- a first layer of foam laminated to each side of the core and each having an outer surface,
- a second layer of foam laminated to each outer surface of the first layer of foam, having different thickness from the first layer of foam, and each having an outer surface, and
- an abrasive material laminated to each outer surface of the second layer of foam.
A nail tool comprising at least one of a nail buffer or a nail file having
- a core layer with at least one side,
- at least two layers of rubber on at least one side of said core layer and with at least one outside surface, and
- an abrasive material on at least one outside surface of the rubber.
A nail tool comprising at least one of a nail buffer or a nail file having
- a core layer with two sides,
- two layers of rubber of differing densities on each side of said core and with two outside surfaces, and
- an abrasive material on each of the two outside surfaces of the rubber.
A method of at least one of filing and buffing a fingernail or toenail surface comprising the steps of
- (1) pressing a nail tool having an abrasive surface and multiple layers of rubber on at least one side of a core against a human nail surface, and
- (2) abrading the human nail with the abrasive surface of said tool.
