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

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
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.
