Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to a combination tool, particularly for manicure, having a manicure tool and tweezers.

From U.S. Pat. No. 3,972,117 a combination tool is known as a cutter having similar blades at each end of the shaft. However, this tool is not included in the case, and the blade cannot be replaced.

From the tip of the sheath according to U.S. Patent No. 2,710,448,
A tool is known that can make the cutting edge of one end of a knife housed in a sheath protrude, but there is nothing on the other end of the knife, and the tool is not designed to be used by making it protrude from the other end of the sheath. .

To perform a manicure, it is necessary to have a nail polisher (file) nearby and use tweezers to remove any remaining skin that adheres to the surface of the nail. In particular, doing these nail polishing and tweezing tasks by yourself requires only one hand to be free. Therefore, in order to improve and facilitate one-handed tasks, it would be advantageous to propose a tool that allows both tasks to be performed one after the other, without having to take the tool out of the hand and grab another tool.

In view of the above, this invention is based on the problem of proposing a combination tool that can be used to perform both operations one after another without having to take the tool out of the hand.

In order to solve this problem, the present invention is such that the shaft of the manicure tool has a tweezers at the end, the tweezers can be taken in and out of the case together with the manicure tool, and the tweezers are movably provided inside the case. connected to an elastic lever,
The connecting web is characterized in that it is guided along a slit in the case and is integrated with an operating part located outside the case.

By connecting both tools within the case, these tools are protected by the case so there is no chance of injury, and if the two tools are separate, you can finish working with one tool. , it is not necessary to take one tool out of the hand and hold the other tool in order to work with the other tool.

In an embodiment of the invention, the connecting web inside the case has an insertion hole for receiving and fixing a manicure tool.

In addition, a continuous uneven part is provided on the inside of the case lid,
Corresponding irregularities may be provided on the lever to cooperate. With this, when putting tools in and out of the case, both tools can be kept in the retracted position or one of them can be kept in the protruding position, and the position can be changed by pushing and moving the operating section. Easy to put in and take out.

Preferably, the manicure implement comprises a nail file, a cuticle remover or a knife blade.

Thus, a combination tool according to this invention solves a unique problem. It makes it possible to use two tools with one hand, and then perform two tasks that are performed immediately one after the other without using another hand,
Also, any tools that are not needed at that particular time will naturally be placed in a protective case, so there will be no danger.

An embodiment of this invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

The drawing depicts the tool of this invention in approximately its original size. FIG. 1 shows a longitudinal section of the manicure tool 1, in which a shaft portion 2 of a manicure tool 1 for polishing nails formed as a file has a tweezers 3 at its end, and the tweezers 3 are housed in a case 4 together with the manicure tool 1. , the tool 1 is inserted into the tweezers 3 from one end of the case 4.
can be inserted and removed from the other end of the case. The tweezers 3 are movably arranged in the housing 4 and are connected to an elastically designed lever 8, the connecting web 6 of which is guided along a slot 7 in the housing 4 and is connected to a push button located outside the housing 4. It is integrated with the shaped operation section 5.

The connecting web 6 inside the case 4 has a connecting portion 16
It has an insertion hole 9 for receiving and fixing the manicure tool 1. On the inside of the lid 10 of the case, there is a continuous corrugated portion 11 along the edge of the slit 7, and the corresponding corrugated portion on the lever 8 engages with this continuous corrugated portion 11.

Nail polishing tool 1 has file marks 1 on its wide surface.
5, with one narrow side 12 having a smooth surface. The other opposing narrow side 14 may be smooth or may be textured. or,
The front end of the nail polishing tool 1 terminates in a pointed tip 13.

The state in which the tool 1 and the tweezers 3 are put in and taken out is shown in broken lines in Figure 1, so you can see that the tool 1 is moved in and out by pushing the operation part 5 to the left from the state where both are stored, as shown by the solid line in Figure 1. The tweezers 3 protrude from the left end of the case, and when pushed to the right, they protrude.

The connecting part 16 with the connecting web 6, the lever 8 and the actuating part 5 is made of elastic plastic.

FIG. 2 shows a plan view of the housing 4 with the slot 7, along which the connecting web 6 is guided together with the operating part 5 outside and the lever 8 inside the housing.

Figures 3 and 3a show the continuous unevenness 11 on the inside of the case lid. The corresponding unevenness is lever 8.
Since it is on the outward facing surface of the tool, both projections and depressions cooperate to position the protruding state of the tool 1, 3.

The combined tool according to this invention allows easy handling and execution of two working steps without having to take the tool out of hand. Both tools can be moved in and out of the case with one hand.

In addition to this advantageous handling, another advantage also arises: the equipment is protected.

The tweezers may be made of plastic or metal. Furthermore, the tweezers may be easily removed, for example to be replaced with another one. In addition, the tweezers are made of plastic and are connected to the connecting portion 16.
It may be molded integrally with.

It is advantageous if the nail file is made of metal. The file marks on the wide surface may be coated with diamond powder to enhance the file effect.
