Abstract

The inventive nail clippers comprise a two-membered clipper body (2) with a metal fitting (8) placed inside. Said metal fitting has a U-shaped spring section (46) and at the end of each of its limbs, has bent segments (50) which form the cutting edges (10). The inventive clippers are characterised in that the two clipper body members (4, 6) have bent segments (64, 66) which encompass the limb ends of the spring section on the outside and which meet at the opposite end to the bent segments (50) which form the cutting edges (10) and engage with each other in such a way that they fit together. This is a simple means of ensuring that the cutting edges are accurately guided when they meet, even if the clipper body is made from plastic and cannot be too stiff.

Description

Manikürzange Manicure pliers
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Manikürzange gemäß Gattungsbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to manicure pliers according to the preamble of claim 1.
Eine derartige Manikürzange ist aus der FR-PS 996 752 sowie, in Gastalt eines sog. Nagelknipsers, auch jeweils aus der DE-PS 478 585 und der US-PS 1 721 415 bekannt. Darüber hinaus ist es etwa aus der DE-OS 30 43 552 auch bereits bekannt, den Zangenkörper einer Manikürzange mit separaten in die beiden Zangenkör- perglieder eingelegten schneidenbiidenden Metallbeschlägen zur Einsparung von Fertigungskosten aus Kunststoff herzustellen. Nun ist Kunststoff jedoch bei geeignerer Zähigkeit im Verhältnis zu üblicherweise angewandten metallischen Werkstoffen verhältnismä¬ ßig flexibel. Zudem aber mögen die ihrer Art nach linienförmig aufeinandertreffenden Schneiden in einem separaten Zangenkörper, selbst wenn dieser aus Metall besteht, unter Umständen keine sehr präzise Führung finden, ohne die aber ein einwandfreier Schnitt nicht möglich ist.Such manicure pliers are known from FR-PS 996 752 and, in the form of a nail clipper, also from DE-PS 478 585 and US-PS 1 721 415. In addition, it is also known, for example from DE-OS 30 43 552, to manufacture the pliers body of a manicure pliers with separate metal-forming metal fittings inserted into the two pliers body members in order to save manufacturing costs from plastic. Now plastic but with geeignerer toughness in relation to commonly used metallic materials ¬ verhältnismä SSIG flexible. In addition, however, the cutting edges that meet in a linear manner in a separate pliers body, even if this is made of metal, may not be able to find a very precise guide, but without which a perfect cut is not possible.
Von daher liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Mani¬ kürzange gemäß Gattungsbegriff des Anspruchs 1 so zu gestalten, daß die Schneiden, jedenfalls beim Aufeinandertreffen, eine präzise Führung finden, welche die betreffende Zange auch zum Schneiden verhältnismäßig starker Nägel geeignet macht.Therefore, the invention has for its object to design a Mani ¬ short according to the preamble of claim 1 so that the cutting, at least when they meet, find a precise guide, which makes the pliers in question also suitable for cutting relatively strong nails.
Diese Aufgabe ist im wesentlichen durch das Kennzeichnungsmerkmal des Anspruchs I gelöst. Die Unteransprüche geben darüber hinausgehend vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungsmögiichkeiten an. Der gegenseitige Eingriff der die Schenkelenden des Federabschnitts außenseitig umschließenden Abwinkelungen an den beiden Zangenkorpergliedern bringt zwangsläufig beim Aufeinandertreffen der Schneiden eine präzise Fuhrung mit sich. Eine zusätzliche Verbesserung dieser Fuhrung ergibt sich, wenn gemäß Anspruch 7 auch die rückwärtigen Enden der beiden Zangenkorperglieder in bezug zueinander geführt sind.This object is essentially achieved by the characterizing feature of claim I. The subclaims also indicate advantageous design options. The mutual engagement of the bends on the outside of the pliers body members enclosing the leg ends of the spring section inevitably results in precise guidance when the cutting edges meet. An additional improvement of this guidance results if, according to claim 7, the rear ends of the two pliers body members are also guided with respect to one another.
Wenn hier im übrigen von einer Manikurzange die Rede ist, soll dieser Begriff selbstverständlich eine Anwendung für Pedikur- zwecke nicht ausschließen.If, by the way, we are talking about a manicure forceps, this term should not, of course, exclude its use for pedicure purposes.
Nachfolgend wird ein bevorzugtes Ausfuhrungsbeispiel einer solchen Manikurzange anhand der Figuren genauer beschrieben. Dabei zeigtA preferred exemplary embodiment of such a manicure tongs is described in more detail below with reference to the figures. It shows
Fig. 1 eine Draufsicht auf die betreffende Manikurzange m etwa naturlicher Größe, wobei die hier verdeckt erscheinenden Teile des Metallbeschlages gestrichelt angedeutet sind, Fig. 2 eine Explosionsdarstellung der Zange, m der deren sämtliche Einzelteile erkennbar sind, Fig. 3 einen stark vergrößerten Querschnitt durch den Schneidenbereich der Zange etwa entlang der Linie III-III von Fig. 1, Fig. 4, F g. 5 und Fig. 6 jeweils eine Draufsicht auf die Zange ähnlich Fig. 1, die jedoch m ihrem rückwärtigen Bereich aufgeschnitten erscheint, wobei die Zange m verschiedenen Gebrauchszustanden zu sehen ist.Fig. 1 is a plan view of the relevant manicure forceps m about natural size, the parts of the metal fitting appearing hidden here are indicated by dashed lines, Fig. 2 is an exploded view of the forceps, m of which all the individual parts can be seen, Fig. 3 shows a greatly enlarged cross section the cutting area of the pliers approximately along the line III-III of Fig. 1, Fig. 4, F g. 5 and 6 each show a top view of the pliers similar to FIG. 1, but which appears cut open in its rear area, the pliers being shown in different states of use.
Wie am besten m Fig. 2 zu erkennen, weist die gezeigte Manikurzange einen Zangenkorper 2 aus zwe separaten Zangenkorpergliedern 4 und β, einen Metallbeschlag 8 mit daran ausgebildeten Schneiden 10, eine zweigliedrige körperliche Drehachse bestehend aus einer Schraube 12 und einer Mutter 14 sowie eine Verπege- lung mit einer Klaue 16, einem Achsbolzen 18 und einer Wendel- Torsionsfeder 20 auf.As can best be seen in FIG. 2, the manicure pliers shown have a pair of pliers 2 made of two separate pliers body members 4 and β, a metal fitting 8 with cutting edges 10 formed thereon, a two-part physical axis of rotation consisting of a screw 12 and a nut 14 and a Verπege - tion with a claw 16, an axle pin 18 and a helical torsion spring 20.
Die beiden Zangenkorperglieαer 4 und 6 sind durch die Schraube 12 und Mutter 14 zusammenschließbar, indem αie Mutter 14 mit einem Schaftabschnitt 22 in entsprechende Locher 24 bzw. 26 der entsprechend aufeinandergelegten Zangenkorperglieder 4 und 6 eingeführt und daraufhin durch die von der anderen Seite her m sie eingeschraubte Schraube 12 fixiert wird.The two Zangenkorperglieαer 4 and 6 are connected by the screw 12 and nut 14 by αie nut 14 with a shaft portion 22 in corresponding holes 24 and 26 of the corresponding superimposed pliers body members 4 and 6 and then through the m from the other side screwed screw 12 is fixed.
Wie ersichtlich, weist die Schraube 12 neben einem Gewindeao- schnitt 28 einen mit zwei Locnern 30 versenenen flachen Kopf 32 auf, der m einer entsprechenden Aussparung 34 des Zangenkorper- gliedes 4 zu liegen kommt. Ähnlich weist die Mutter 14 neben ih¬ rem Scnaftsabschnitt 22 einen flachen Kopf 36 auf, der in einer entsprechenden (m der Figur nicht zu sehenαen) Aussparung des Zangenkorpergliedes 6 Aufnahme findet.As can be seen, the screw 12 has, in addition to a thread cut 28, a flat head 32 provided with two locators 30, which comes to rest in a corresponding recess 34 in the pliers body member 4. Similarly, the nut 14 adjacent ih ¬ rem Scnaftsabschnitt 22 has a flat head 36 which (m FIG not sehenαen) in a corresponding recess of the Zangenkorpergliedes 6 is receiving.
Um die Schraube 12 gegenüber der Mutter 14 ZJ fixieren, Desitzt der Schaftaoschnitt 22 αer Matter 14 m seinem außenliegenden Endbereich zwei gegenüberliegende Abflachungen 38, passend zu entsprechenden Abflachungen 40 m dem Loch 24 des Zangenkorpergliedes 4, und ist auf der Unterseite αes Kopfes 32 der Scnraube 12 eine diagonale Rippe 42 ausgebildet, die rastend m einer von einer Mehrzahl diagonaler Nuten 44 am Boden der Aussparung 3^ zu liegen kommt . Abweichend vor. αieser Ausfuhrungsform konnte die Mutter 14 freilich auch mit dem Zangenkorperglied 4 integriert sein.To fix the screw 12 in relation to the nut 14 ZJ, the shaft cutout 22 of the matter 14 m has two opposite flats 38 m in its outer end region, corresponding to corresponding flats 40 m, the hole 24 of the pliers body member 4, and is on the underside of the head 32 of the screw 12 a diagonal rib 42 is formed, which comes to rest in one of a plurality of diagonal grooves 44 on the bottom of the recess 3 ^. Deviating from. In this embodiment, the nut 14 could of course also be integrated with the pliers body member 4.
Der Metalloeschlag 8, der a_s Feαerblech hergestellt wird, weist einen bugelformigen, genauer gesagt im wesentlichen U-formigen Federaöschnitt 46 auf, an αessen Schenκelenαen 48 sich gegenem- andergerichtete seitliche Acvinkelungen 50 Definden. Darüber hinaus besitzen die Schenkelenden 48 Löcher 52, um den Beschlag in dem Zangenkörper 2 zu fixieren.The Metalloeschlag 8, which is manufactured as a Feαerblech, has a spherical, more precisely, essentially U-shaped spring cut 46, on which Schenκelenαen 48 opposing side angles 50 Find. About that In addition, the leg ends have 48 holes 52 in order to fix the fitting in the pliers body 2.
Der Beschlag 8 wird in eine entsprechende Aussparung 54 des Zangenkörpers 2 so eingelegt, daß der Federabschnitt 46 mit seinem Scheitelbereich 56 den Schaftabschnitt 22 der Mutter 14 umgibt. Wie vor allem Fig. 3 zeigt, sind die betreffenden vorderen Endabschnitte 58 und 60 der Zangenkörperglieder 4 und 6 so ausgebildet, daß sie die Schenkelenden 48 des Federabschnitts 46 außenseitig umschließen. An den Endabschnitten 58 und 60 innenseitig ausgebildete Verankerungszapfen 62 treten durch die Löcher 52 der Schenkelenden 48 hindurch. Des weiteren weisen die Endabschnitte 58 und 60 auf der den Abwinkelungen 50 des Beschlages 8 gegenüberliegenden Seite aufeinandertreffende Abwinkelungen 64 bzw. 66 auf, die zusammen mit den Abwinkelungen 50 eine Auffangtasche 68 für die von den Schneiden 10 abgetrennten Nägel oder Hautreste bilden.The fitting 8 is inserted into a corresponding recess 54 of the pliers body 2 such that the spring section 46 with its apex region 56 surrounds the shaft section 22 of the nut 14. 3, the relevant front end sections 58 and 60 of the pliers body members 4 and 6 are designed such that they enclose the leg ends 48 of the spring section 46 on the outside. Anchoring pins 62 formed on the inside at the end sections 58 and 60 pass through the holes 52 in the leg ends 48. Furthermore, the end sections 58 and 60 have, on the side opposite to the bends 50 of the fitting 8, bends 64 and 66 which together with the bends 50 form a collecting pocket 68 for the nails or skin remnants separated from the cutting edges 10.
Wie aus Fig. 3 ersichtlich, greifen die Abwinkelungen 64 und 66 beim Schließen der Zange mit einer Nut 70 und Feder 72 passend ineinander, um die Endabschnitte 58 und 60 und mit diesen die Schneiden 10 bei deren Aufeinandertreffen sicher zu führen. Dies geschieht vor allem im Hinblick darauf, daß der Zangenkörper 2 vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff gefertigt und damit gegenüber einem Zangenkörper aus Metall eine gewisse, nicht zu vernachlässigende Elastizität aufweisen wird.As can be seen from FIG. 3, when the pliers are closed, the bends 64 and 66 fit into one another with a groove 70 and tongue 72 in order to reliably guide the end sections 58 and 60 and with these the cutting edges 10 when they meet. This takes place above all in view of the fact that the pliers body 2 is preferably made of plastic and will therefore have a certain elasticity, not to be neglected, compared to a pliers body made of metal.
Eine weitere gegenseitige Führung erhalten die beiden Zangenkörperglieder 4 und 6 durch die vorerwähnte Verriegelung. In diesem Sinn ist die Klaue 16, die mittels des Achsbolzens 18 in dem Zangenkörperglied 4 schwenkbar gehalten ist, in entsprechenden Aussparungen 74 bzw. 76 (F g. 4) der beider. Zangenkörperglieder 4 und 6 seitwärts passend gelagert, so daß die letzteren sich nicht seitwärts gegeneinander zu verschränken vermögen.Another mutual guidance receive the two pliers body members 4 and 6 by the aforementioned locking. In this sense, the claw 16, which is pivotably held in the pliers body member 4 by means of the axle pin 18, is in corresponding recesses 74 and 76 (FIG. 4) of the two. Pliers body links 4 and 6 mounted laterally suitably, so that the latter are not able to interlock laterally.
Die Feder 20 kommt, den Achsbolzen 18 umgebend, in einer entsprechenden Aussparung 78 der Klaue 16 zu liegen. Sie stutzt sich m einer Weise an der Klaue wie auch dem Zangenkörperglied 4 ab, daß sie bestrebt ist, die Klaue nach außen zu verschwenken.The spring 20 comes to lie in a corresponding recess 78 of the claw 16, surrounding the axle pin 18. It is supported in a manner on the claw as well as on the pliers body member 4 in such a way that it tries to pivot the claw outwards.
Bemerkenswerterweise verlaßt die Klaue 16 die Aussparung 78 im Zangenkörperglied 6 auch dann nicht, wenn die Zange, wie m Fig. 6 gezeigt, geöffnet ist. Bei ganzlicn geschlossener Zange (Fig. 4) kann die Klaue 16 mit einer Nase 80 m eine eine Hinter- schneidung bildende Rastmulαe 82 an αer Aussparung 76 hineingedruckt werden, von der sie fortan unter dem Einfluß der an dem Zangenkorper 2 wirksamen Spreizfederbelastung seitens des Metallbeschlages 8 festgehalten wird. Um die Zange zu offnen, müssen die rückwärtigen Schenkel 84 und 86 αer Zangenkörperglieder 4 und 6 zunächst geringfügig weiter zusammengedruckt werden (Fig. 5), da dann die Nase 80 hinter der Hmterschneidung der Rastmulde 82 hervortritt und die Feder 20 die Klaue 16 nach außen schwenkt. Die weitere Öffnung Desorgt der Federabschnitt 46 des Metallbeschlages 8. Indessen wird das Zangenkörperglied 6 von der Klaue 16 m der m Fig. 6 gezeigten Stellung festgehalten, da dann die Nase 80 an einer Schulter 88 am Ende der Aussparung 76 anstoßt, wahrend eine Anlageflacne 90 im Inneren oer Aussparung 76 die Klaue 16 αaran hindert, weiter nach außen zu schwenken.Remarkably, the claw 16 does not leave the recess 78 in the pliers body member 6 even when the pliers are opened, as shown in FIG. 6. When the pliers are completely closed (FIG. 4), the claw 16 with a nose 80 m can be pressed into a locking recess 82 which forms an undercut at the recess 76, from which it will henceforth be influenced by the spreading spring load on the pliers body 2 on the part of the metal fitting 8 is held. In order to open the pliers, the rear legs 84 and 86 of the pliers body members 4 and 6 must first be pressed slightly further together (FIG. 5), since the nose 80 then emerges from behind the cut of the recess 82 and the spring 20 the claw 16 to the outside pivots. The further opening is provided by the spring section 46 of the metal fitting 8. Meanwhile, the pliers body member 6 is held in place by the claw 16 m in the position shown in FIG. 6, since the nose 80 then abuts a shoulder 88 at the end of the recess 76, while an abutment flap 90 inside the recess 76 the claw 16 prevents αaran from pivoting further outwards.
Wie aus Fig. 3 weiter ersicntlich, gestaltet sich der Schliff der Schneiden 10 dadurch sehr einfach, daß die Abwinkelungen 50 gegeneinander m einem stumpfen Winkel geneigt sind, so daß αer Anschliff einfach von außen her am Scheitel des Neigungswinkels erfolgen kann.3, the grinding of the cutting edges 10 is very simple in that the bends 50 are inclined at an obtuse angle so that αer Grinding can easily be done from the outside at the apex of the angle of inclination.
Sind die Schneiden verschlissen oder nicht weiter nachschleifbar, so kann der Beschlag 8 auf einfache Weise ausgetauscht wer¬ den, wozu lediglich durch Lösen der Schraube 12 die beiden Zangenkörperglieder 4 und 6 voneinander zu trennen sind.If the cutting edges are worn or not resharpened, the fitting 8 can be easily replaced ¬, for which purpose the two clipper body members 4 and 6 are separated from each other only by the loosening of the screw 12th
Es versteht sich, daß der Zangenkörper 2 vor allem in seinem rückwärtigen Bereich auch abweichend von der dargestellten Ausführungsform, etwa geschweift, gestaltet werden kann. Auch hin¬ sichtlich der Lagerung und Verriegelung, falls denn eine solche vorgesehen werden soll, sind mancherlei Abwandlungen denkbar. It goes without saying that the pliers body 2, particularly in its rear region, can also be designed differently from the illustrated embodiment, for example in a curved manner. Various modifications are also conceivable with regard to storage and locking, if such should be provided.
