DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0034] A first aspect of this invention relates to a nail manicure device characterized in that it comprises: Two of the outer pieces work together, both are designed to fit inside each other and are joined by a central axis forming at one end a sharp-edged clamp whose main purpose is to remove the strip of skin fold on the sides of the nail (lateral nail stripes or Paronychium) sideways. The clamp part forms a diagonal opening that allows to follow the proper shape to pull the skin of the finger avoiding excess pressure on the part closest to the phalanx, as well as allowing any finger diameter to use the invention.

[0035] These same two pieces on the outer part outline a concave surface so that the fingers of the other hand holding the invention (index finger and thumb) can hold well and exert the necessary pressure comfortably.

[0036] The third outer piece is a rounded piece that functions as the base of the invention so that it can rotate and remain stationary, as well as to hide the internal operating system of the invention.

[0037] On the internal part the invention has two springs that are installed so that the main outer pieces can be returned to their original place. The third inner part is a watch strap spring bolt that runs through the invention from end to end through the three outer parts.

[0038] A second aspect of this invention relates to the use of a nail manicure device.

[0039] A third aspect of this invention relates to a nail manicure procedure characterized in that it comprises: [0040] a) Having a nail manicure device as described in the first aspect. [0041] b) Opening the manicure device with the index finger and thumb of one hand to press one finger of the other hand against the outer faces of the pieces forming the clamp of the manicure device. [0042] c) Placing the finger in the cavity formed between the inner faces of the pieces that form the clamp in such a way that when the clamp is closed the paronychium of the fingers is pushed downwards. [0043] d) Using a soft brush or paintbrush, apply the nail polish on the nail that is more exposed due to the pressure exerted by the clamp.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

[0044] This invention will be best understood by referring to the following non-limiting examples:

Example 1

[0045] A nail manicure device characterized in that it comprises:

a first outer left piece (1);
a second outer right piece (2);
a third outer piece (3);
one watch strap spring bolt (4)

[0046] A pair of springs, wherein said pair of springs comprises a first spring (5) and a second spring (6);

wherein, the first left outer piece (1) has an outer face (1a) and an inner face (1b), the outer face (1a) has two sections (1a1, 1a2) and the inner face (1b) has three sections, the surface of said two sections (1a1, 1a2) defines a curved contour ergonomically compatible with the shape of the finger of the index hand or thumb; said three sections comprise the upper section (1b1), the middle section (1b2) and the lower section (1b3) of said inner face (1b),
the upper section (1b1) of the inner face (1b) has a surface whose thickness draws a semi-parabola with a larger straight side at a left end and a very small straight side at the right end.
the middle section (1b2) and the lower section (1b3) are thicker than the upper section (1b1) of the inner face (1b).

[0047] The middle section (1b2) viewed laterally has a minor extension (1b21) followed by a major concavity (1b22) and a major extension (1b23) followed by a minor concavity (1b24), from left to right; the minor extension (1b21) has a central hole, the major extension (1b23) has a central hole, both holes are concentric and isodiametric. The lower section (1b3) has the shape of a semicircle with 3 concavities, a central circular concavity (1b30) and 2 lateral concavities (1b31, 1b32).

[0048] The first right outer piece (2) has an outer face (2a) and an inner face (2b), the outer face (2a) has two sections (2a1, 2a2) and the inner face (2b) has three sections, the surface of said two sections (2a1, 2a2) defines a curved contour ergonomically compatible with the shape of the index finger or thumb, said 3 sections comprising the upper section (2b1), the middle section (2b2) and the lower section (2b3) of said inner face (2b); the upper section (2b1) of the inner face (2b) has a surface whose thickness draws a semi-parabola with a larger straight side at a left end and a very small straight side at the left end.

the middle section (2b2) and the lower section (2b3) are thicker than the upper section (2b1) of the inner face (2b).

[0049] The middle section (2b2) viewed laterally has a minor cavity (2b21) followed by a major extension (2b22) and a major concavity (2b23) followed by a minor extension (2b24), from right to left; the lower section (2b3) is semicircular in shape with 3 concavities, a central circular concavity (2b30) and 2 lateral concavities (2b31, 2b32); the minor extension (2b21) has a central hole, the major extension (2b23) has a central hole, both holes are concentric and isodiametric.

[0050] When the first left outer piece (1) and the first right outer piece (2) are joined it can be seen that they define a cavity with an opening similar to the shape of a parabola with a major straight side on one side and an opening similar to the shape of a parabola with a minor straight side on the other side, the finger enters through the opening in the shape of a parabola with the major straight side. The front view of the device (FIG. 1) shows these openings.

[0051] The third outer piece (3) has the shape of a spherical spindle, the ends of which are blunt and in one of them there is a hole, in the center of the base of the third outer piece has an extension 3a from which two flattened cylinders (3b1, 3b2) project towards both faces of said extension, the flattened cylinders serve as anchorage for one end of the first spring (5) and one end of the second spring (6), the other end of the first spring fits into the central circular concavity (1b30) and the other end of the second spring (6) fits into the central circular concavity (2b30). In FIG. 2, the flattened cylinder 3b1 is hidden by the position of the exploded view.

[0052] The first left outer piece (1) and the first right outer piece (2) work together in such a way as to engage their extensions and concavities of the respective middle section (1b2) and middle section (2b2) of both outer pieces, said first left outer piece (1) and first right outer piece (2) are designed so that they can fit one inside the other and are joined by the watch strap spring pin (4) forming at one end a sharp-edged clamp, the clamp part forms a diagonal opening that allows to follow the proper shape to pull the skin of the finger avoiding excess pressure on the part closest to the phalanx, as well as allowing any finger diameter to use the invention.

[0053] This first left outer piece (1) and the first right outer piece (2) on the outer part outline a concave surface so that the fingers of the other hand holding the invention (index finger and thumb) can hold well and exert the necessary pressure comfortably.

[0054] The third outer piece (3) is a rounded piece that functions as the base of the invention so that it can rotate and remain stationary, as well as to hide the internal operating system of the device.

[0055] In the inner part the invention has two springs (5), (6) that are installed in such a way that the main outer pieces (1), (2) can return to their original place.

[0056] The third inner part is a watch strap spring bolt (4) which crosses the invention from end to end through the pieces: first left outer piece (1), first right outer piece (2) and third outer piece (3).

[0057] The watch strap spring bolt passes through the first left outer piece (1), first right outer piece (2) and third outer piece (3) in such a way that the concavities and the middle section extensions (1b2) of the left outer piece (1) fit into the concavities and the middle section extensions (2b2) of the right outer piece (2), when the two pieces (1) and (2) are assembled they function as a clamp, the inner faces having a diagonal shape such that a finger cavity is formed, said finger cavity being formed from the upper section (2b1) of the inner face (2b) of the right outer piece (2) and the upper section (1b1) of the inner face (1b) of the left outer piece (1), the finger can be inserted into the said finger cavity and is adjusted with the clamp according to the size of the finger, the finger rests on the base of the 2 semi parabolic surfaces and is at an angle of 25°, thus facilitating the manicure work.
