Abstract

Container for treating fingers or finger nails includes a cup with a sponge therein immersed in a treatment solution. The container is provided with a double walled seal, which is connected positively and/or non-positively to the inner wall of the cup of the container. At the top, the inner seal engages against a shoulder of the cup and secures the underlying sponge. The sponge has a vertically extending hole for receiving a finger to be treated. The sponge absorbs the liquid or solution contained in the cup for treating finger. The hole can be provided with a replaceable lining. Closable slits are provided in the seal for the insertion of the finger, so that no liquid flows out or evaporates. The seal can be held on its circumference by a spring ring, which engages against a cam or is located in a groove in the inner wall of the cup and is consequently positively held.
