Abstract
Abstract A fingernail construction kit includes a pair of separate containers for containing chemical components for the fabrication of fingernails with one container for containing a liquid reagent including a detachable cover having an aperture therein for receiving a brush. The cover includes an annular ridge formed around the aperture for diverting the reagent back into the dish. The containers are constructed of high density polyethylene.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
88 words
In a kit for the construction of artificial fingernails comprising: a first container defined by a thick high density bottom and upwardly extending walls forming a generally upwardly opening cavity having an upper opening equal to the maximum cross-sectional dimension of the cavity for containing a liquid reagent; a cover detachably fitted on said first container over the opening for substantially covering said opening; and said cover being constructed to define an aperture of reduced size in said cover for receiving a brush in close fitting association therewith.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
53 words
The fingernail kit of claim 1, wherein: said cover constructed of a pliable plastic material including an annular wiping ridge surrounding and closely adjacent said aperture on the outside thereof, and a skirt that extends downward over the upwardly extending walls and has a length of approximately 1/3 the height of the container.

Dependent Claim
24 words
The kit of claim 2 wherein said cover includes an annular ridge inside the cover spaced from and surrounding the edge of said aperture.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
17 words
The kit of claim 2 wherein said dish is made of a highly polished high density polyethylene.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
30 words
The kit of claim 4 including a second container substantially identical to said first container and containing a powdered polymer for reacting with said liquid to form a hardened structure.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
43 words
The kit of claim 5 including a shield for surrounding a fingernail, and a brush having a size and shape for insertion into said aperture and for applying mixtures of said liquid and said powdered polymer to a fingernail surrounded by said shield.
