Abstract

A device for use in manicuring employs a vertical member and a plurality of vertical elements disposed side by side. Each element is secured to said member by a corresponding living hinge. Each element has vertically upright and vertically inverted positions. Each element has a recess which points downward when the element is upright and which points upward when the element is inverted. The device also employs a like plurality of elongated manicuring implements, each implement having a head detachably engaging a corresponding recess in a corresponding element. Each implement extends downward when its corresponding element is upright and extends upward when its corresponding element is inverted. The member has a circumference which defines a regular polygon, the number of sides of the polygon being equal to said plurality. Each of said elements is connected by its corresponding living hinge to the corresponding side. A flexible hollow elongated vertical tube has a closed top end secured to said member and an open bottom end. An additional manicuring implement is removably disposed in the tube, a portion of the additional implement extending downwardly below the bottom end.
