Full Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     1. Field of the Invention 
     The present invention relates generally to cuticle care and, more specifically, to a cuticle oil dispensing pen with a ceramic cuticle stone. Cuticle care usually involves a two step process involving moisturizing the cuticle and then cutting and smoothing it. The present invention simplifies this procedure by providing a dispensing pen having a reservoir containing cuticle oil that is delivered by seepage through the stone thereby moisturizing the cuticle simultaneously as the ceramic stone cuts and smoothes it. The present invention provides a fast, efficient means for cuticle care overcoming the shortcomings of the prior art. 
     2. Description of the Prior Art 
     There are other heated devices designed as applicators. While these applicators may be suitable for the purposes for which they were designed, they would not be as suitable for the purposes of the present invention, as hereinafter described. 
     SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT INVENTION 
     A primary object of the present invention is to provide a cuticle oil dispenser pen. 
     Another object of the present invention is to provide a cuticle oil dispenser pen having a body with a reservoir for storing cuticle oil. 
     Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a cuticle oil dispenser pen having a porous ceramic cuticle stone projecting from one end of the dispenser pen&#39;s body. 
     Still yet another object of the present invention is to provide a cuticle oil dispenser pen with a channel communicating between the reservoir and the porous ceramic stone. 
     Another object of the present invention is to provide a cuticle oil dispenser pen that will deliver oil to moisturize the cuticle simultaneously with treatment from the porous ceramic cuticle stone. 
     Still another object of the present invention is to provide a cuticle oil dispenser pen with a refillable reservoir. 
     Additional objects of the present invention will appear as the description proceeds. 
     The present invention overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a cuticle oil dispenser pen that simplifies the process of cuticle treatment by dispensing moisturizing cuticle oil through the porous ceramic stone while cutting and smoothing the cuticle. 
     The foregoing and other objects and advantages will appear from the description to follow. In the description reference is made to the accompanying drawings, which forms a part hereof, and in which is shown by way of illustration specific embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. These embodiments will be described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention, and it is to be understood that other embodiments may be utilized and that structural changes may be made without departing from the scope of the invention. In the accompanying drawings, like reference characters designate the same or similar parts throughout the several views. 
     The following detailed description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present invention is best defined by the appended claims.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT 
     The following discussion describes in detail one embodiment of the invention. This discussion should not be construed, however, as limiting the invention to those particular embodiments, practitioners skilled in the art will recognize numerous other embodiments as well. For definition of the complete scope of the invention, the reader is directed to appended claims. 
       FIG. 1  is an illustrative view of the present invention in use. Shown is the user  12  treating her cuticles with the cuticle oil dispenser pen  10  of the present invention. Moisturizing cuticle oil  22  is delivered through a channel  20  into the porous ceramic cuticle stone  16  to the cuticle  14 .
