Single-use multi-abrasive tool to decrease biohazard

a multi-abrasive tool and biohazard technology, applied in the direction of gear teeth, manufacturing tools, manufacturing apparatus, etc., can solve the problems of prohibitively expensive use of multiple tools at one time, inconvenient reusing and sharing of tools, and deterioration of wood structure, etc., to achieve economical and effective single abrasive device, cost-effective sanitary practices, and economical per-use solutions.

Problems solved by technology

Because of the potential for the transmission of disease, the reusing and sharing of tools is fast becoming unacceptable to aesthetic and medical professionals, and also to regulatory authorities and their constituents who are the ultimate consumer-customers of the described services.
The selection of the chassis material has importance as to the desired level of flexibility versus rigidity of the tool and this has spanned a range, but perhaps more importantly selection of the substructure material relates to the issue of sanitation, because wood is deemed not suitable for cleansing as it is porous and thus potentially absorbent of biohazardous substances, and wood also structurally deteriorates when absorbing liquids.
Using multiple tools each only one time that are also relatively expensive would be prohibitively costly.

Embodiment Construction

[0018]The drawings in FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 3, and FIG. 4. show as device 10 a preferred embodiment of the present invention, which is constructed of an inner core 21 with layers of resilient materials 20 and 22 adhesively applied to the two opposing primary surfaces of said core, whose bonding thereby creates a functional supporting chassis providing two flat longitudinal faces for mounting selected coated abrasive materials 31 through 39 that are adhesively applied in a plurality of segments as the exterior working surfaces of the invention. The inner core 21 may be made of plastic, wood or other material which are chosen based on a continuum of longitudinal rigidity versus flexibility for various embodiments of the device which are needed to suit marketplace requirements. The resilient layers 20 and 22 may be made of cellular foam or rubber-like materials. The resilient layer 20 will be significantly thicker dimensionally, typically 5 to 8 millimeters, and also be more resilient a...

Abstract

A comprehensive cost-effective single-tool-per-job and single-use abrasive device used by aesthetic professionals for shaping and polishing the natural keratin plate or its artificial enhancements on the digits of the human limbs that eliminates the cost-per-use driven standard practice of reusing multiple tools which carries a risk of spreading biohazard contamination.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION AND PRIOR ART[0001]Devices for shaping and polishing the natural keratin plate or its artificial prosthetic enhancements are well known and have been taught in the Prior Art for many decades (U.S. Pat. No. 338,235, Broadhurst, 1886), thus many technical issues regarding tool construction and effectiveness have been long resolved. As is the common course of commercial and social progress, new issues have come to the surface; in this case the current and relevant issue is sanitation. In the Prior Art tools are shown us that are reusable after being subjected to suitable and often statutorily and regulatorily described methods of cleaning and disinfecting. Such tools must be constructed of generally more expensive materials selected for the ability to withstand cleaning (U.S. Pat. No. 5,666,981 Stephen s, 1997) and repeated use. Because of the potential for the transmission of disease, the reusing and sharing of tools is fast becoming unacceptable to aesthet...
