Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
DESCRIPTION OR PRIOR ART INCLUDING INFORMATION DISCLOSED UNDER 37 CFR 1.97 AND 1.98 [0001] Finger nail files made of metal or of nonmetallic materials such as cardboard or wood, the latter commonly known as "emery boards" because of the use of emery minerals to form the abrasive surface, are widely known and used. However, none have been formed of magnetic material so that they can be removably attached to a metal surface and therefore be readily accessible when needed. [0002] For example, finger nails are often broken in the office during the course of inserting documents into or retrieving documents from a metal file cabinet, or at home while working in the kitchen. It would be extremely handy to have a finger nail file removably attached to the exterior surface of the file cabinet draw or the outside of the refrigerator door in such instances. However, conventional finger nail files do not have that capability. [0003] Further, emery boards provide a heretofore unused medium for displaying graphics for decorative purposes. They also constitute an excellent means for carrying advertising graphics and/or text, such as company logos, making them ideal for use as promotional items because of their low cost. Being able to removably attach such decorative or advertising emery boards to metallic surfaces would considerably enhance their utility. [0004] Accordingly, there appears to be a real need for a magnetic nail file and particularly for a magnetic emery board type nail file that is decorative or promotional in nature. [0005] It is therefore, a prime object of the present invention to provide a magnetic nail file. [0006] It is another object of the present invention to provide a magnetic nail file in the form of an emery board. [0007] It is another object of the present invention to provide a magnetic nail file in the form of an emery board formed of a magnetic layer and an abrasive layer. [0008] It is another object of the present invention to provide a magnetic nail file in the form of an emery board formed of a magnetic layer and an abrasive layer, with a base layer interposed therebetween. [0009] It is another object of the present invention to provide a magnetic nail file in the form of an emery board formed of a magnetic layer interposed between abrasive layers. [0010] It is another object of the present invention to provide a magnetic nail file in the form of an emery board which includes a decorative surface. [0011] It is another object of the present invention to provide a magnetic nail file in the form of an emery board which includes a surface carrying advertising graphics and/or text. [0012] It is another object of the present invention to provide a magnetic nail file in the form of an emery board which can be used as a promotional item. BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0013] In general, the aforementioned objects are achieved in the present invention by forming the nail file at least partially of magnetic material and providing a surface coated with an abrasive. The abrasive surface can be formed of abrasive particles on a substantially transparent substrate. A base layer may be provided to which the abrasive surface is attached. The abrasive surface or the base layer may be imprinted with graphics and/or text for decorative or promotional purposes. [0014] More specifically, in accordance with one aspect of the present invention, a magnetic nail file is provided including magnetic material and an abrasive surface. The file may also include an imprinted surface. [0015] The magnetic material is preferably formed of magnetized metal. [0016] The magnetic material may form a magnetic layer. The abrasive surface may be part of an abrasive layer. A base layer may be interposed between the magnetic layer and the abrasive layer. [0017] A second abrasive surface may also be provided. The abrasive surfaces may be situated on opposite sides of the magnetic material. [0018] The abrasive layer preferably includes abrasive coated paper or abrasive coated polyester film. The paper or film may constitute the imprinted surface. [0019] The film may substantially transparent. In that case, the base layer may constitute the imprinted surface which would be visible through the substantially transparent film. [0020] The base layer may be formed of foam, polystyrene, wood veneer, fiberglass or paper. [0021] In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, a method is presented for fabricating a magnetic nail file. The method includes the steps of forming a layer including magnetic material, forming a layer with an abrasive surface and attaching the layers. [0022] The step of attaching the layers includes joining the layers with adhesive. Continue reading about Magnetic nail file and method of fabricating same...
