Abstract
There is disclosed a vibrating, heated nail bath for soaking fingernails prior to manicuring. The device is a bowl shaped plastic housing which is hollow. Inside the housing attached to the bottom of the bowl is a DC motor with a double ended shaft, the shaft supports a frame by eccentric cams. Connecting rods run from the frame to the bottom of soft elastic rubber membranes in the base of the bowl. The vibration is caused by the shaft rotating in the eccentric cams with the result that the frame vibrates and in turn vibrates the connecting rods which vibrate the membranes. A heater on the inside housing walls of the bowl keep the nail bath solution at 100° F. Known additives can be added to the nail bath.
