Abstract
A manicuring appliance comprising a hand held center section with proximal and distal end sections each of which may be detachable from the center section. Each end section may have a lip shaped to bear against the base of the cuticle. The distal end section comprises a pusher for shaping the cuticle and prepare it for cutting by the proximal end section. The proximal end section includes a cutting blade positioned to properly cut or trim the cuticle along an arc which follows the arc of the cuticle base as the user moves the appliance along the cuticle. Various alternative embodiments of the proximal cutting section and distal pusher section are disclosed.
Description
- The present application is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 10/753,019 filed on Jan. 6, 2004 which, in turn, takes priority from provisional application Ser. No. 60/504,593 filed on Sep. 16, 2003.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- This invention relates to manicuring appliances and more particularly to a cuticle cutter and shaper convenient to use with either hand.
- 2. Background Art
- Cuticle clippers presently are in use primarily in beauty salons. They have the familiar form of a small pinching type device with short curved spring loaded blades which permits movement along the curvatures of a cuticle. Such clippers are hard to self administer and are used primarily by a beauty salon operator. They are prone to cut the cuticle too deeply and cause injury and bleeding. Pushing devices for shaping the cuticle before cutting are also well known. They tend to be made of metal or wood and are often very sharp and therefore dangerous instruments which can cause injury.
- The invention is based on the realization that cuticles can be shaped and cut in a simple manner by an appliance which moves one or more cutting blades along the path of the cuticle rather than using the pinching action presently practiced. Accordingly, a manicuring appliance, in accordance with the principles of this invention, comprises an elongated, hand held, member with a proximal end adapted to engage a cuticle and to position a cutting blade along the cuticle. The blade edge may be, at least in part, perpendicular to both the length and width of the appliance.
- The proximal end may include a lip which seats against the base of the cuticle as the guiding surface for the path of the blade.
- In a preferred embodiment, the hand held member is fabricated in at least two detachable pieces with the (proximal) end containing the cutting blade being disposable. In another embodiment, the proximal end is adapted to accept a cap which stores a blade where the cap is disposable.
- Also in the preferred embodiment, the distal end of the elongated member also is detachable. The distal end, detachable or not, is shaped as a pusher and includes a plastic pushing surface. The pusher end is of a shape to allow controlled shaping of the cuticle with little, if any risk of injury.
- In still other embodiments, the proximal and distal ends are provided with release mechanisms to facilitate quick and convenient connection and release relative to the elongated hand-held member or handle. One or both of the end sections may be made of a transparent plastic and one or two directional illuminating devices may be provided in the handle to provide added light for aiding observation of the manicuring operation. Finally, unique one-piece dual cutting blades are disclosed for cutting in either of two directions.
