2. Description of the Prior Art:
The conventlonal nail clipper is the one most commonly known in the prior art. There are other patent sighted with assembly to hold nail clippings but those are not commercialized yet and are not available in the public because of their complex operation and outlook. It is common experience of many who use conventional nail clipper to have nail cllppings scattering all over as fingernails or toenails are clipped. The inventor is unaware of any previous design or prod~ct which look similar to given in this invention which will prevent nail clipping from scattering and store them for disposal at convenient time and appropriate place.
Summary of the Present Invention:
It is an objective of the present invention to provide an improved and (2) 2040~17 slmplified version of nail clipper which will prevent the scattering of nail clippings during the operation of the nail clipper.
It is a further object to provide improved and simpler storage mechanism until approprlate d~sposal ls convenlent.
Briefly, in a preferred embodiment, the present invention includes on movable plate on rlght hand side of the cllpper. It snaps against the lower and upper jaws of the clipper on the side and covers the opening between the iaws and thUS prov~d~ng additlonal storage area for nail clipping. The snap-on plate prevent the nail clippings to fly-off or scatter or escape from that side. This plate can be pulled out to empty the nail collection pocket and additional storage area containing nail clippings. On left hand side of the clipper, the opening is covered by rolled over plate which is attached to the lower ~aw plate. This plate also prevent nail clippings to scatter, or fly-off during clipping operation. There is storage provided in the lower jaw plate of the nail clipper to store the clippings. The length and depth of the nail collection pocket varies with the size of nail clipper.
An advantage of a nail clipper assembly of the present invention is that the scattering of the na;l cl;ppings during ;ts operation is prevented.

(3) A further advantage of the present invention is that it provides storage and utilizes the unused space between two jaw plates of nail clipper as additional storage for nail clippings.
These and o~her ob~ects and advantages of the present invention will no doubt obvious to those of ordinary skills in the art after having read the following detailed descriptions of the preferred embodiment which is illustrated in the var;ous drawing figures.
T~E DRAUINGS:
The Figure 1 shows the front coross-sectional view of nail clipper.
The Figure 2 shows the back coross-sectional view of nail clipper.
The Figure 3 shows the plan coross-sectional view of nail clipper.
Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiment:
The Figure 1 illustrated an improved nail clipper assembly wllich includes the movable plate(5) to prevent nail clipping to fly-off or scattered during nail clipping operation. This plate(5) snap against the upper(1) and lower(2) jaw plates of the clipper. It provides additional storage(6) between two jaw plates for storing nail clippings. This (4) Z040~7 plate(5) does not obstruct the movement of upper ~aw plate(1) during clipping operation. The nail collection pocket(7) ls attached to the lower ~aw ~la~e(2). The shape of this pocket is des~gned as shown to prevent the clippings to be struck in the corners of this pocket. The smoo~h corners in this pocket facilitate in emptying the pocket without any clipping left behind in the clipping pocket(7). The length(8), width(9) and depth(10) of the nail collection pocket(7) varies with the size of clipper. The Figure 2 shows the another important feature of the present i~vention and that is front side plate(11) attached to the lower ~aw plate(2). This plate covers the opening between the jaw plates and does not obstruct the movement of upper ~aw plate(1) during clipping operation. The clipping as they exit the upper(1~ and lower(2) ~aw plates, they either strike front(ll) or back(5) side plates and get stored in the storage(6) provided between two ~aw plates or fall down in the nail collection pocket(7). The nail collection pocket can be filled by tilting the nail clipper down to get the clippings lying at the back of storage(6) area between the jaw plates or tilting the clipper up to get the clippings from the ront storage(6) area between the jaw plates.
The nail collection pocket(7) and the storage area(6) between the jaw plates could be emptied by pulling out the back plate(5) and by shaking out the clippings in the disposal basket and snapping back the plate(5) for future use. The Figure 3 shows that the cross-sectional plan view of the nail clipper. The shape of the nail collection pocket(7) is designed in a well rounded manner so that the it is easy to e~pty the pocket~7) without leaving any clippings in there. The nail collection pockett7) ( 5 ) could be welded to the lower ~aw(2) or could be formed as one unified unit. The size of pocket (7) varies with the size of nail clipper. The material used for this nail clipper could be any single metal or an alloy consisting of one or more metal elements. Although the present invention has been described in terms of the presently preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that such disclosure is not to be lnterpreted as l~miting. Varlous alterations and mod~fications wlll no so doubt become apparent to those qualified and skilled in the art afterhaving read the above disclosure. Accordingly, it is intended that the appended claims be interpreted as covering all alterations and modifications as fall within the true spirit and scope of the invention.
