A device for removing nail polish and other fingernail coatings comprises a container having an access opening at the top thereof and which contains therein a solvent capable of dissolving the nail polish. A brush having relatively hard, stiff bristles is mounted within the container in such a manner so as to partially surround the access opening. The brush is arranged so that the bristles engage with the fingernail when the finger-tip is inserted through the access opening and the brush functions to scrub and clean the fingernail so as to remove the nail polish therefrom in response to slight movements of the fingertip. The container is composed of opaque plastic material to avoid breakage, minimize weight, and prevent the user from seeing the unsightly nail polish which dissolves in and discolors the solvent. The brush is mounted on a wire support member which has sufficient resiliency to bias and maintain the brush in its working position and the two ends of the wire which abut against the container plastic container.

A device for removing nail polish and other nail coatings from a person\s fingernails comprising: a plastic container comprised of top, bottom and side walls and having an access opening in said top wall and containing thereIn during use of the device a suitable nail polish solvent; rubbing means disposed at a given location within said container immediately beneath and laterally across said access opening and having an elongated, curved configuration with the interior portion of the curvature defining a rubbing area for receiving and making rubbing contact with the person\s fingernail when the corresponding fingertip is inserted through said access opening and being operative in response to slight movements of the fingertip to effect removal of the nail polish from the fingernail by a rubbing action of the solvent on the fingernail; mounting means comprising a resilient support member connected to and supporting thereon said rubbing means and being resiliently wedged in said container between said top and bottom walls thereby mounting said rubbing means at said given location, said resilient support member having an elongated shape having a body portion connected to said rubbing means and extending along the top wall of said container, two leg portions connected to opposite ends of said body portion and extending downwardly along a side wall portion of said container to the bottom wall of said container, and two foot portions connected to respective ones of said leg portions and being bent inwardly away from said side wall portions such that said resilient support member is resiliently wedged between the top and bottom walls of said container said resilient support member having means for preventing the end tips of said two foot portions from puncturing the bottom wall of the plastic container; and means rendering said container opaque to visible light so that the dissolved nail polish which accumulates in the solvent is not visible through said container walls.
