Abstract: A crimper for crimping nail brushes includes a pair of guide shafts and an upper jaw coupled to the pair of guide shafts adjacent an upper end portion of the guide shafts. A lower jaw is moveably coupled to the guide shafts, and includes a lower plate and a lower jaw body coupled to the lower plate. An adjustment plate is coupled to the lower end portions of the guide shafts such that the lower jaw is located between the upper jaw and the adjustment plate. An actuating cam is configured to interface with the lower plate and the adjustment plate, with the actuating cam being rotatable between neutral and actuated positions. The upper jaw and lower jaw move toward each other as the actuating cam rotates from the neutral position toward the actuated position and assume a prescribed distance therebetween when the actuating cam is in the actuated position.

Abstract: Implements for cleaning and storing nail drill bits are disclosed which may comprise a body, first, second, and third pluralities of holes, a fluid compartment, a cover and a brush compartment. The cover may be associated with the fluid compartment such that when the cover is in an open configuration, cleaning and disinfectant solutions contained in reservoirs of the fluid compartment can be accessed through the first plurality of holes. A soiled nail drill bit can be cleaned by submerging the bit in the cleaning solution, brushing the bit with bristles of the brush compartment, drying the bit in the second plurality of holes, and submerging the bit in the disinfectant solution. The third plurality of holes may receive the cleaned nail drill bits so they may be used in a manicure or pedicure operation.

Abstract: The device and method of this disclosure provides for nipper sharpening by providing: a nipper device holding surface; a clamp for securing the nipper device to the holding surface; a sharpening strip holder coupled to a motor, wherein activation of the motor causes the sharpening strip holder to move between a first and second position; a sharpening strip having a roughened surface; wherein the placement of the sharpening strip in the strip holder causes the sharpening strip to contact the nipper device and wherein motor activation moves the sharpening strip across the area of the nipper device to be sharpened. A pivotably connected positioning magnet holds the sharpening strip in place through magnetic attraction to the metal nipper with sufficient magnetic force to secure the strip in place, but with light enough magnetic force to allow back and forth lateral movement of the strip across the nipper.
