1. Device for cleaning dirty nails of body parts comprising a housing having a cleaning space and at least one opening through which at least one body part which has a nail to be cleaned is insertable into the cleaning space, at least one nozzle body which has at least one nozzle opening for directing a flow of cleaning liquid against at least one nail in the cleaning space, and means for supplying cleaning liquid to the at least one nozzle opening of the at least one nozzle body;
- wherein there is an extended supporting area for the at least one body part on the at least one nozzle body and a stop for a tip of the at least one body part;
wherein said at least one nozzle opening is located below said stop in the at least one nozzle body and outside the supporting area and is positioned relative to said supporting area when said tip rests on the supporting area said at least one nozzle opening is unobstructed by said tip, and the at least one nozzle opening is aligned toward a gap between the tip and nail which is opened when force is applied to the tip resting on the supporting area in a direction toward the supporting area and the body part is moved simultaneously in a direction toward the at least one nozzle opening.

Abstract
The invention relates to a device (1) for cleaning dirty nails (2), especially fingernails, which has housing (3) with a cleaning space (4), at least one opening (7) through which at least one nail (2) to be cleaned or a body part (8) which has a nail (2) to be cleaned, especially a finger, can be inserted into the cleaning space (4), and a nozzle body (10, 21) which has at least one nozzle opening (11) from which cleaning liquid from nozzle body (10, 21) flows against at least one nail (2) in the cleaning space (4). To attain a defined and good cleaning result, according to the invention, an extended supporting area (16) with a stop for the tip (17) of the body part (8) is provide on the nozzle body (10, 21), and the nozzle opening(s) is positioned so that, when the tip (17) rests on the supporting area (16) the nozzle opening(s) (11) is unobstructed, a gap (18) between tip (16) and nail (2) being opened when the tip (17) resting on the supporting area (16) is pressed in a direction toward the supporting area (16), is moved at the same time in a direction toward the nozzle opening(s) and the nozzle opening (11) being aligned in a direction toward the gap (18) thus opened.
