Abstract
An apparatus for manicuring nails including a first container that has a front end and a back end. Included is a second container that has a front end and a back end. A back threaded portion of the second container is sized for releasable coupling with the threaded recess wall of the first container. A first end cap has a back end with a projecting cylindrical tip and a solvent applicator. A second end cap has a back end with a projecting cylindrical tip and a polish applicator. Also, a first cap cover is provided and sized for positioning over the first end cap. Lastly, a second cap cover is provided for positioning over the second end cap.
Claims12
A new and improved apparatus for manicuring nails comprising in combination:
- a first container being generally cylindrical and having a front end and a back end, the front end having a first neck member extending outwardly therefrom and defining an opening, the first neck member having internal threads and external threads, the back end defining a threaded recess wall extending inwardly from the back end and into a bottom wall, the bottom wall allowing the first container to hold an amount of solvent therein;
- a second container being generally cylindrical and having a front end and a back end, the front end having a front neck member extending outwardly therefrom and defining an opening, the front neck member having internal threads and external threads, the back end having a back threaded portion extending outwardly therefrom, the back threaded portion being interconnected with a internal bottom wall of the second container, a cylindrical cartridge being positioned within the second container, the cylindrical cartridge sits on bottom wall and holds an amount of nail polish therein, the back threaded portion being sized for releasable coupling with the threaded recess wall of the first container;
- a first end cap having a generally conical shape and a back end with a projecting cylindrical tip, the first end cap having a solvent applicator positioned within, the solvent applicator having an exterior portion projecting from a top of the first end cap, the projecting cylindrical tip being treaded and sized for releasable coupling with the internal threads of the first neck member of the first container and capable of sealing the solvent within the first container, the solvent applicator being capable of absorbing the solvent and allowing the solvent applicator to be a means for removal of the nail polish from a finger nail;
- a second end cap having a generally conical shape and a back end with a projecting cylindrical tip, the projecting cylindrical tip being connected with the cylindrical cartridge of the second container, the second end cap having a polish applicator positioned within, the polish applicator having an interior portion projecting from the back end and an exterior portion projecting from a top of the second end cap, the projecting cylindrical tip being treaded and sized for releasable coupling with the internal threads of the front neck member of the second container and capable of sealing the nail polish within the second container, the polish applicator being capable of absorbing the nail polish when the second end cap is coupled with the second container, the polish applicator serving as a conduit for applying the nail polish from within the second container and onto the finger nail;
- a first cap covers being sized for positioning over the first end cap, the first cap cover having a first end edge defining a cap opening, the first cap cover having internal threads adjacent the first end edge and capable of coupling with the external threads of the first neck member of the first container;
- and
- a second cap cover being sized for positioning over the second end cap, the second cap cover having a second end edge defining a cap opening, the second cap cover having internal threads adjacent the second end edge and capable of coupling with the external threads of the front neck member of the second container.
