Abstract

An architecture is presented that provides a nail cleaning device designed for cleaning away debris or stains trapped in a user'"'"'s nail bed. The nail cleaning device comprises a liquid retaining reservoir and a spray nozzle in fluid communication with the reservoir for emitting a liquid stream under a user'"'"'s fingernails or toenails. The reservoir is typically a cylinder shaped chamber with a hollow interior cavity, and a hose positioned within the cavity to allow water to pass through the cavity from an external water source. The water is emitted from the cavity via a liquid stream from the spray nozzle. The nail cleaning device further comprises a trigger positioned along the reservoir for releasing the liquid stream from the spray nozzle, and a chamber positioned within the reservoir for dispensing soap. The nail cleaning device also comprises an external hose that connects the reservoir to a pressurized water supply.

Claims

1. A nail cleaning device, comprising:

a liquid retaining reservoir;

a spray nozzle in fluid communication with the liquid retaining reservoir; and

a trigger positioned along the reservoir for discharging contents of the liquid retaining reservoir through the spray nozzle.

2. The device of claim 1, further comprising a chamber within the liquid retaining reservoir for retaining soap.

3. The device of claim 2, wherein the chamber comprises a stain removing liquid.

4. The device of claim 2, wherein the soap mixes with the liquid retained in the liquid retaining reservoir and is discharged through the spray nozzle.

5. The device of claim 1, wherein a hose is positioned within the liquid retaining reservoir to allow water to pass through the reservoir.

6. The device of claim 5, wherein the liquid retaining reservoir comprises an external hose to connect the liquid retaining reservoir to a pressurized water supply.

7. The device of claim 1, wherein the spray nozzle comprises more than one discharge opening.

8. The device of claim 7, wherein one of said more than one discharge openings discharges the liquid retaining reservoir contents in a generally semi-circle spray to clean entire nail bed.

9. The device of claim 7, wherein one of said more than one discharge openings discharges the liquid retaining reservoir contents in a single stream spray to target a specific area of the nail.

10. The device of claim 9, wherein the spray nozzle rotates when the single stream spray is used.

11. The device of claim 7, wherein the spray nozzle turns to alternate between the more than one discharge opening.

12. The device of claim 1, wherein the spray nozzle comprises more than one interchangeable heads wherein one of said more than one interchangeable heads discharges the liquid retaining reservoir contents in a generally semi-circle spray and wherein a second of said more than one interchangeable heads discharges the liquid retaining reservoir contents in a single stream spray.

13. The device of claim 1, further comprising a pressure valve, for controlling pressure of the liquid retaining reservoir contents.

14. The device of claim 1, further comprising a temperature gauge for determining temperature of the liquid retaining reservoir contents.

15. A nail cleaning device, comprising:

a liquid retaining reservoir;

a chamber positioned within the reservoir for dispensing a stain removing liquid;

a spray nozzle in fluid communication with the liquid retaining reservoir for discharging contents of the liquid retaining reservoir; and

a trigger positioned along the liquid retaining reservoir for releasing the contents of the liquid retaining reservoir; and

wherein the stain removing liquid within the chamber is released when the trigger is depressed.

16. The device of claim 15, wherein the spray nozzle comprises more than one opening.

17. The device of claim 15, further comprising a pressure valve, for controlling pressure of the liquid retaining reservoir contents.

18. The device of claim 15, further comprising a temperature gauge for determining temperature of the liquid retaining reservoir contents.

19. The device of claim 15, wherein the liquid retaining reservoir comprises an external hose to connect the liquid retaining reservoir to a pressurized water supply.

20. A device for nail cleaning, comprising:

a liquid retaining reservoir, wherein the liquid retaining reservoir comprises;

a chamber positioned within the liquid retaining reservoir for dispensing soap; and

a trigger positioned along the liquid retaining reservoir for discharging contents of the liquid retaining reservoir and the soap;

a spray nozzle in fluid connection with the liquid retaining reservoir; and

an external hose connected to an end of the liquid retaining reservoir for connecting the liquid retaining reservoir to a pressurized water supply.
