Definitions
- the invention relates to manicure pliers according to the generic term of claim 1.
- Such manicure pliers is from FR-PS 996 752 and, in Gastalt of a so-called nail clipper, also from DE-PS 478,585 and U.S. Patent 1,721,415. Beyond that it is already known from DE-OS 30 43 552, the pliers body a manicure pliers with separate in the two pliers body links inserted cutting-forming metal fittings for Saving manufacturing costs from plastic. Now plastic is, however, with a suitable toughness in relation to Metallic materials usually used are proportionate flexible. But they also like to be linear in nature intersecting cutting edges in a separate pliers body, even if it is made of metal, there may be none find very precise guidance, without which a flawless one Cut is not possible.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of manicure pliers to design according to the preamble of claim 1 so that the cutting edges, at least when they meet, are precise Find guidance that the relevant pliers also to Suitable for cutting relatively strong nails.
- the manicure tongs shown have a pliers body 2 from two separate pliers body members 4 and 6, a metal fitting 8 with it formed Cutting 10, consisting of a two-part physical axis of rotation from a screw 12 and a nut 14 and a lock with a claw 16, an axle pin 18 and a spiral torsion spring 20 on.
- the two pliers body members 4 and 6 are through the screw 12 and nut 14 can be connected by the nut 14 with a Shaft section 22 in corresponding holes 24 and 26 respectively correspondingly placed pliers body members 4 and 6 introduced and then in from the other side it screwed screw 12 is fixed.
- the screw 12 has a threaded section 28 a flat head 32 provided with two holes 30 on in a corresponding recess 34 of the pliers body member 4 comes to rest.
- the mother 14 next to hers Shaft section 22 has a flat head 36 which in a corresponding recess (not visible in the figure) of the Pliers body member 6 takes place.
- the shaft portion 22 of the nut 14 in its outer End area two opposite flats 38, matching corresponding flats 40 in the hole 24 of the pliers body member 4, and is on the bottom of the head 32 of the screw 12 a diagonal rib 42 is formed, which latches in one of a plurality of diagonal grooves 44 at the bottom of the recess 34 comes to lie.
- the Nut 14 is of course also integrated with the pliers body member 4 his.
- the metal fitting 8 which is made of spring sheet, has a bow-shaped, more specifically substantially U-shaped Spring section 46, on the leg ends 48 facing each other lateral bends 50 are located. About that In addition, the leg ends have 48 holes 52 around the fitting to fix in the pliers body 2.
- the fitting 8 is in a corresponding recess 54 of the pliers body 2 inserted so that the spring section 46 with his The apex region 56 surrounds the shaft section 22 of the nut 14.
- the front end sections in question are 58 and 60 of the pliers body members 4 and 6 are formed so that they have the leg ends 48 of the spring section 46 enclose on the outside.
- the end sections 58 and 60 on the inside trained anchoring pins 62 pass through the holes 52 of the leg ends 48 through.
- the End sections 58 and 60 on the bends 50 of the fitting 8 opposite bends meeting each other 64 or 66, which together with the bends 50 a collecting pocket 68 for those separated from the cutting edges 10 Form nails or skin residues.
- the bends 64 and 66 engage suitable when closing the pliers with a groove 70 and tongue 72 one into the other around the end sections 58 and 60 and with these the Cutting 10 to lead safely when they meet.
- the two pliers body members receive another mutual guidance 4 and 6 through the aforementioned locking.
- the purpose is the claw 16, which by means of the axle pin 18 in the Pliers body member 4 is pivotally held in corresponding Recesses 74 and 76 (Fig. 4) of the two pliers body members 4 and 6 mounted sideways so that the latter itself cannot cross-wise sideways.
- the spring 20 comes, surrounding the axle pin 18, in a corresponding Recess 78 of the claw 16 to lie. It supports in a way on the claw as well as the pliers body member 4 from that it strives to pivot the claw outwards.
- the claw 16 leaves the recess 78 in the Nipper body member 6 not even when the pliers, as in Fig. 6, is opened. With the pliers completely closed (Fig. 4) the claw 16 with a nose 80 can be cut into an undercut forming recess 82 pressed into the recess 76 from which they henceforth under the influence of the Pliers body 2 effective spreading spring loading on the part of the metal fitting 8 is held. To open the pliers, you have to the rear legs 84 and 86 of the tong body members 4 and 6 are initially compressed slightly further (Fig. 5), because then the nose 80 behind the undercut of the Detent recess 82 emerges 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 held by the claw 16 in the position shown in FIG. 6, then the nose 80 on a shoulder 88 at the end of the recess 76 abuts while a contact surface 90 inside the Recess 76 prevents the claw 16 from moving further out swing.
- the cut is designed the cutting 10 very simple in that the bends 50th are inclined towards each other at an obtuse angle, so that the Simply sand from the outside at the apex of the angle of inclination can be done.
- the pliers body 2 mainly in its rear area also deviates from the illustrated embodiment, about curly, can be designed. Also regarding storage and locking, if such Various modifications are conceivable.
