ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for quickly and accurately trimming a nail is provided. The apparatus comprises a grippable housing having an integral insertion portion. The insertion portion is designed to guide the nail towards a rotating filing member within the housing and is also designed to press back the flesh underlying the nail. The insertion portion comprises a first surface joined to a second surface at an acute angle along a common edge. The tapered wedge formed by the two surfaces permits the surfaces to be optimally inserted along the underside of the nail to thereby isolate the nail from the adjacent flesh. Also, the common edge formed by the two surfaces is convex so that the nail filing device can be readily moved around the periphery of the nail. The device allows the user to precisely control the extent of the trimming by assessing the pressure of the insertion portion against the flesh underlying the nail and by visually observing the contact of the nail with the rotating filing member.
