Electrical manicuring device

DETAILED DESCRIPTION FIG.
1 depicts one embodiment of the present invention.
An elongated, hollow, cylindrically-shaped housing 10 has a closed back end 11 and an open front end 12.
Housing 10 also has cylindrical sidewall surfaces 13.
Reciprocation is in part achieved by means of motor 14.
Motor 14 is a 1.
2 volt motor which draws 1/2 to 1 amp without a load and 3/4 to 1.
5 amps with a load.
It revolves at 1,500 to 2,500 rpm without a load.
Motor 14 is energized by battery 15.
Battery 15 is preferably of the rechargeable nickel-cadmium type, having a potential difference of 1.
5 to 3 volts and outputting 3/4 to 1 amp per hour.
Battery 15 is rechargeable by means of battery recharger outlet 16, into which a battery recharger (not shown) is adapted to be connected.
In a preferred embodiment, the manicuring device has an electrical switch 17 mounted in housing 10.
Switch 17 has an actuating member 18 projecting exteriorly of sidewall 13.
Switch 17 is electrically wired in series relationship between motor means 14 and battery 15 so that the selective energization and de-energization of motor means 14 can be accomplished by actuating or de-actuating member 18.
Switch 17 is preferably positioned near the end of the housing furthest from motor means 14 for convenient thumb actuation.
Shaft 19 extends from the front end of motor means 14, and is pointed in the direction of housing open end 12.
Shaft 19 is rotatively driven by motor 14.
Shaft 19 has disposed thereon a sleeve 50 and is secured to the sleeve.
A washer housing 21 having a washer 20 is attached to the elongate housing 10, and functions as a guide for the washer to prevent excessive translational movement of shaft 19.
A circular offset means 22 is affixed near the front end of the shaft 19 at a non-perpendicular angle with respect to shaft 19.
Affixed to circular offset means 22 is lower end 23 of attachment arm 24.
Arm 24 may or may not be axially positioned with respect to shaft 19.
The upper end 25 of attachment arm 24 is affixed to manicuring implement 26, attachment arm 24 being projected in a direction parallel to shaft 19
