Abstract
Abstract A manicuring case and supporting apparatus for storing manicuring implements and providing a base of support for a user's hand during use thereof. A container defines an interior cavity and includes a plurality of apertures in the top surface thereof. Each aperture is adapted to receive a bottle of polish or the like and is configured to preclude the bottle from being inadvertently dislodged irrespective of the orientation of the case. A supporting base depends upwardly from the top surface of the container. The supporting base includes an arcuate member which has a plurality of concave depressions disposed in the top surface thereof. The concave surfaces are substantially parallel to each other and provide a base upon which the user's hand can be disposed during use of the present invention.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
153 words
A manicuring case and supporting apparatus for use with liquid storing bottles having a tapered cross-section, said manicuring case and supporting apparatus comprising: (a) a container having top and bottom members which define an interior cavity therebetween, said top and bottom members being pivotally coupled to one another to provide access to said interior cavity, said top member having a plurality of apertures disposed therethrough which are adapted to receive the liquid storing bottles; (b) a resilient layer disposed upon and secured to the bottom member within the interior cavity whereby the liquid storing bottles are held in place intermediate said top and bottom members when the top and bottom members are pivoted adjacent one another; and (c) support means for supporting the user's hand depending upwardly from the top member of said container, said support means including a base having a plurality of substantially uniform depressions disposed upon the top surface thereof.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
153 words
A manicuring case and supporting apparatus for use with liquid storing bottles having a tapered cross-section, said manicuring case and supporting apparatus comprising: (a) a container having top and bottom members which define an interior cavity therebetween, said top and bottom members being pivotally coupled to one another to provide access to said interior cavity, said top member having a plurality of apertures disposed therethrough which are adapted to receive the liquid storing bottles; (b) a resilient layer disposed upon and secured to the bottom member within the interior cavity whereby the liquid storing bottles are held in place intermediate said top and bottom members when the top and bottom members are pivoted adjacent one another; and (c) support means for supporting the user's hand depending upwardly from the top member of said container, said support means including a base having a plurality of substantially uniform depressions disposed upon the top surface thereof.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
A manicuring case and supporting apparatus as defined in claim 1 wherein said apertures are uniform with respect to one another.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
