NAIL GROOMING DEVICE
The present invention relates to the field of nail grooming and generally describes a novel nail-grooming device whose purpose is to allow a user to groom his or her own fingernails in both hands in an accurate, symmetrical and uniform manner, with minimal effort and without being required to acquire any skills that might be required by other devices. The device comprises a finger placement wherein a user places his or her finger, and a nail grooming machine with a nail grooming head suitable for nail grooming tasks such as filing, wherein the nail grooming head is capable of performing a cyclic movement against a nail of the finger placed on the finger placement for filing or other nail-grooming task, and wherein the nail filing machine also comprises a mechanism capable of triggering a sideways movement of the nail grooming head on a curved horizontal axis around the nail to allow circumferential grooming of the fingernail while the finger is statically placed on the finger placement.

NAIL FILING ASSEMBLY
Implementations described herein include adjustable nail filing assemblies capable of filing fingernails to a consistent length or shape. Such assemblies have a main body, an abrading member, and a finger bed. The main body extends along a housing longitudinal axis from a first end to an opposed second end. The first end includes an opening for receiving a finger bearing a fingernail. The abrading member is removably coupleable to the second end of the main body and includes a contoured abrasive surface. The finger bed for holding a finger is movably disposed in the main body. Movement of the finger bed relative to the abrading member files the nail to a predetermined length or shape. The finger bed is translatable along a predetermined pathway relative to the abrading member. The predetermined pathway includes an arc extending in a plane transverse or parallel to the housing longitudinal axis.
