Description

  The present invention relates to a nail clipper, and more particularly to a nail clipper having a decoration.

  An nail clipper, which is a real product, has been proposed to give a user's interest by decorating the original function of cutting the nail (for example, see Patent Document 1 below). An example of such a nail clipper is shown in FIGS. As shown in FIG. 2, in the nail clipper 100, the upper blade body 1 and the lower blade body 2 made of metal are fixed at their rear ends, and the cutting edges 1a and 2a formed at their front ends are separated from each other. Has elasticity to. The support shaft 3 is rotatably inserted in the front end portions of the upper and lower blade bodies 1 and 2 in the vicinity of the blade edges 1a and 2a, and the head 3a at the lower end of the support shaft 3 is locked to the lower surface of the lower blade body 2. In addition, the upper end portion of the support shaft 3 protrudes above the upper blade body 1.

  The pressing lever 4 includes a lever body 5 made of a metal plate having a constant thickness and a decorative body 6 made of plastic. A pair of support arms 8 are formed in a forked shape at the front end of the lever body 5 by a notch 7 (see FIG. 3), and a recess 9 is continuous with the notch 7 at the front on the lever body 5. The upper and lower surfaces of the lever main body 5 are flat. A pair of support arms 11 are formed in a forked shape at the front end portion of the decorative body 6 by a notch portion 10, and a force point portion 12 projects from the vicinity of both support arms 11.

  The decorative body 6 is bonded in the recess 9 of the lever main body 5, and both support arms 11 of the decorative body 6 are inserted into the notches 7 of the lever main body 5 and are polymerized inside the both support arms 8 of the lever main body 5. Yes. The upper end portion of the support shaft 3 is inserted into the notch 10 between the two support arms 11 of the decorative body 6 on the upper blade body 1, and is provided on both support arms 8 of the lever body 5 and both support arms 11 of the decorative body 6. A metal support pin 13 is inserted into the small hole h, and a pressing lever 4 is supported so as to be rotatable on the upper blade body 1 with respect to the support shaft 3.

  As shown in FIG. 3, at the time of use, the pressing lever 4 is turned upside down and tilted, and the power point portion 12 of the decorative body 6 of the pressing lever 4 is brought into contact with the upper blade body 1. Thus, in the nail clipper 100, the decorative body 6 provided separately from the lever main body 5 is also used as the power point portion 12, thereby eliminating the need to project the power point portion on the lever main body 5. Molding is easy. The decorative body 6 is not only fitted in the recess 9 of the lever body 5, but both the support arms 8 of the lever body 5 and the both support arms 11 of the decoration body 6 are connected to each other by the support pins 13. Thus, the decorative body 6 can be reliably positioned with respect to the lever main body 5.

Registered Utility Model No. 2517722

  In the above-described nail clipper 100, the force applied to the pressing lever 4 that acts as an action point at the time of nail clipping is received by the plastic decorative body 6 as a fulcrum at the small hole h, and the force applied to the pressing lever 4 is applied. Is doubled by the lever ratio and acts on the force point portion 12. In this case, a force several times the force acting on the force point portion 12 acts on the small hole h (fulcrum). Since the decorative body 6 is made of plastic, it is susceptible to damage such as compression deformation or breakage due to the force acting on the small hole h and the power point portion 12. Even if it is not conspicuous even if it is used for a short time, it will eventually be deformed or broken.

  The force acting on the small hole h of the decorative body 6 seems to be distributed with the tip of the pressing lever 4 that acts as another fulcrum, that is, the small holes provided on both support arms 8 of the lever body 5. However, since the pressing lever 4 is made of metal, actually, the force acting on the fulcrum is concentrated on the small hole h of the plastic decorative body 6, leading to breakage of the small hole h portion.

  The plastic used for the decorative body 6 is limited to those having sufficient strength and stability over time that can repeatedly resist a force several times the force applied to the pressing lever 4. If a material other than plastic is used, it is the same that it is necessary to satisfy the strength and stability over time, and the materials that can be used are remarkably limited. From this viewpoint, for example, lacquer or lacquer crafts cannot be used.

  Further, since the decorative body 6 is fixed to the support shaft 3 by the support pins 13, in order to replace the decorative body 6 with a non-defective product when the decorative body 6 is damaged, the support pin 13 is removed from the decorative body 6, 100 needs to be disassembled, which is cumbersome and difficult. The same applies to the case where the decorative body 6 is not damaged and is replaced with another one.

  In view of the above-described problems, the present invention aims to provide a nail clipper having a decoration protected from the force generated during the nail clip operation.

In order to achieve the above object, the nail clipper according to the present invention is a blade in which the upper blade body and the lower blade body are elastically coupled in a direction in which the blade edge of the upper blade body and the blade edge of the lower blade body are separated from each other. The body,
A pressing operation lever portion including a metal pressing operation and a decorative body having a force point portion;
With a spindle,
An upper end portion of the support shaft is projected on the upper blade body, and the pressing operation lever portion is supported on the upper blade body by the upper end portion.

  In such a configuration, the decorative body is protected from the force generated at the fulcrum and the power point when the lever of the pressing operation is operated at the time of nail cutting. Therefore, the strength requirement for the material of the decorative body is relaxed and can be used for decoration represented by characters, pictures, designs and designs using lacquer art, for example. The decoration includes surface treatment, mainly using lacquer art, and can also apply lacquer technique.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the nail clipper which has the decoration protected from the force produced at the time of a nail clip operation can be provided.

It is a perspective view which shows the nail clipper which concerns on this invention. It is an expanded view which shows the structure of the conventional nail clipper. It is a perspective view which shows the state at the time of use of the nail clipper of FIG.

  A nail clipper according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 1, the nail clipper Nc includes a blade body part B, a pressing operation lever part L, and a support shaft S. In the blade part B, similarly to the nail clipper 100 described above, the upper blade body 1 and the lower blade body 2 made of metal having blade edges 1a and 2a formed at the front ends thereof are fixed at the rear end portions. In the blade part B, the pressing operation lever 4 and the decorative body 6 in the nail clipper 100 are replaced with a pressing operation lever 40 and a decorative body 60, respectively.

  Specifically, the pressing lever 40 is made of a material such as a metal having a strength required during the nail clipper operation, and is formed in a shape similar to the decorative body 6 in the nail clipper 100. That is, the pressing lever 40 is provided with the force point portion 12 at the front end portion thereof. And the decoration body 60 is extended toward the rear end from the position which removed the power point part 12 to the power point part 12 side of the pressing lever 40. The pressing lever L is attached to the blade part B via the support shaft S by a support pin 13 inserted into a hole provided in the front end of the pressing lever 40, and the nail clipper Nc is assembled.

  Thus, since the decorative body 60 has neither a force point part (power point part 12) nor a fulcrum (small hole h), the force applied to the lever L during the nail clip operation is not received as a fulcrum and a force point. Damage such as compression deformation or breakage due to these forces is avoided.

  In the present embodiment, the decorative body 60 is formed to have an inner diameter that fits into a cylindrical outer shape corresponding to the outer shape of the pressing lever 40, and the upper side of the pressing lever L (when not operated). A picture or other pattern is drawn on the outside. It should be noted that an arbitrary decoration such as lacquer craft, inlay craft, or jewelry can be applied instead of a pattern such as a picture.

  The decoration applied to the decorative body 60 needs to be applied without impairing the original function of cutting the nail. However, in recent years, nail clippers are becoming a standard souvenir for foreign tourists, and in addition to the original functions of nail clippers, it is preferable that unique cultures such as local traditions are expressed.

  In view of the above, in the case of the decorative body 60 shown in FIG. 1, a traditional Japanese handicraft is applied, and after the ground treatment is applied with lacquer, a lacquer painting that rubs gold powder, silver powder, etc. on the pattern drawn with lacquer or lacquer paint Decorated by. Maki-e is a lacquer technique unique to Japan, and such technology has not been used for lacquer-related products in other countries, but there has been no product that has been decorated with maki-e on practical products such as nail clippers. Therefore, nail clippers decorated with lacquer work are suitable as souvenirs, souvenirs, gifts, etc., and it is possible to transmit Japanese traditional crafts abroad.

  As another example of decoration, you may give the screw which sticks the shell cut in plate shape, sticking of gold leaf, etc. The decoration may be applied to the entire surface of the decorative body 60 or may be partially applied to an arbitrary location.

  Note that the decoration may be left directly on the surface of the decorative body 60, or the surface may be covered with a transparent or translucent material, such as a resin, and subjected to a surface treatment such as protection. Such surface coating can be performed by processing such as potting. By performing the surface treatment, it is possible to prevent the decoration applied to the surface of the decorative body 60 from being damaged or peeled off, and the decorativeness of the nail clipper Nc can be maintained for a long time. This surface treatment is particularly effective when applied to decorations using techniques such as lacquer work, screwing, and gold foil application.

  In the present embodiment, the decorative body 60 is attached by being fitted to the outer shape of the pressing lever 40, but an adhesive may be used for attachment, or mechanical means such as a locking claw may be used. It may be configured to be detachable by use. In this way, after the decorative body 60 is configured separately from the pressing lever 40, the pressing operation lever portion L is integrated to provide the advantages described below.

  First, a decoration that is difficult to be directly applied to the surface of the pressing lever 40 can be applied to another suitable material as a decorative body 60 to complete the pressing lever L having the decoration. Difficult to apply decoration may be due to various problems such as incompatibility between the decoration material and the material of the pressing lever 40 and the problem of working space. These can be solved in a different environment away from the pressing lever 40.

  Since the pressing lever 40 and the decorative body 60 can be created separately, they are suitable for mass production of the decorative body 60 (nail clippers Nc). Moreover, when comprised so that attachment or detachment is possible, it can enjoy by exchanging various decoration bodies 60 with respect to the same nail clipper Nc. In addition, replacement | exchange when the decorative body 60 is damaged is also easy.

  As described above, in the nail clipper Nc, the decorative body is protected from the force generated at the fulcrum and the power point when the lever is pressed during the nail clipper operation. Therefore, the strength requirement for the material of the decorative body is relaxed and can be used for decoration represented by characters, pictures, designs and designs using lacquer art, for example. The decoration includes surface treatment, mainly using lacquer art, and can also apply lacquer technique.

  In the present embodiment, the surface of the decorative body 60 is a lacquer ware that has been decorated with a lacquer painting after a base treatment in which lacquer and paint are applied and a foil is applied, but a sheet or film having a lacquered pattern is pasted. You may decorate by. Moreover, you may decorate by another method.

  In the present embodiment, a cover C is attached to the blade part B. By providing the cover C, scattering of the cut nails is prevented, and the operability of the nail clippers Nc is improved when the user holds the tip of the cover C during operation. However, it is not essential to provide the cover C.

  As described above, the nail clipper according to the present invention has a decoration protected from the force generated at the time of the nail clipper operation, so that the original function of the nail clipper can be maintained for a long period of time. It is possible to apply techniques such as crafts such as lacquer work, lacquer work, and affixing gold leaf. Since the decoration to which these techniques are applied is protected by the surface treatment, the delicate beauty can be maintained for a long time. Therefore, the nail clippers according to the present invention are suitable as souvenirs, souvenirs, gifts, etc., and it is possible to transmit Japanese traditional crafts outside the country.

  The present invention can be used for nail clippers having decorations.
