Description

  The present invention relates to a nail clipper with a support tool that is improved so that the nail clipper is securely held and easily operated by attaching the support tool to the nail clipper, and a support tool used for the nail clipper.

As a nail clipper provided with a conventional support tool, there is a nail clipper provided with a semi-annular ring at one end of the nail clipper and a fingertip inserted into the semi-circular ring. (For example, see Patent Document 1)
Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 6-62906 (3rd page, FIG. 1)

The nail cutter improvement and stabilization device shown in Patent Document 1 is provided with a semi-annular ring 5 by extending one end of a nail clipper and curving the extended portion. That is, the nail clipper is integrated, and the nail clipper and the semicircular ring are arranged in a straight line.
Nail clippers are supported using a plurality of fingers, but are used while changing the support angle or the like depending on the fingernail to be cut such as a hand or a foot. Furthermore, even with the same fingernail, it is used by slightly changing the angle and changing the gripping method in order to cut the nail into an arc shape.
Since the semi-annular ring 5 formed integrally with the nail clipper shown in this conventional example is provided in a state of being fixed in a straight line with the nail clipper, when the finger is inserted, the gripping method is changed or the fingertip is delicate. It was difficult to change the angle.
Such an operation has become difficult for an elderly person or a handicapped person to use a nail clipper with a support that is considered to be easy to use unless the fingertip can be moved freely.
The present invention has been made in order to eliminate such drawbacks, and the support device which can easily support the nail clipper and easily cut the nail by rotating the nail clipper and the support device relative to each other. It is an object of the present invention to provide a nail clipper and a support used for the nail clipper.

Means for Solving the Invention

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention has the following configuration.
The nail clipper with a support device according to claim 1 is a nail clipper main body having a pair of press cutting blades arranged opposite to one end thereof, and a hooking hole on the other end side, and the nail clipper main body. A nail clipper provided with an operating rod for pressing the ring is attached to the hooking hole, a ring-shaped finger insertion for inserting a finger, and an attachment piece provided extending from one end of the finger insertion And a nail clipper with a support.
By attaching the support tool to the nail clipper in a rotatable state, when a finger is inserted into the finger compartment, it can be reliably supported or the angle can be easily changed during use. The nail clipper can be retrofitted to the nail clipper body, and the push blade can be directed to the tip of the nail to be cut by the movement in the rotation direction even if the wrist or finger is not bent. I made it.
The nail clipper with a support device according to claim 2 is provided with the support device according to claim 1 attached to the hooking hole as a pair, and these support devices are respectively attached to the nail clipper body. A nail clipper with a support was made by mounting it so as to rotate independently.
According to such a nail clipper with a support tool, different fingers can be inserted into a pair of support tools, so that the nail clipper can be reliably supported with two fingers.
The support tool described in claim 3 can be attached to a mounting piece that can be mounted in a state of moving only in the rotation direction in a hole for catching a nail clip provided at one end of the nail clipper. A support tool was provided by providing a ring-shaped finger case that can be inserted.
According to such a support device, a finger can be inserted into the fingernail and used as a support device for nail clippers, and can be retrofitted to the nail clippers, and wrist and finger bending operations are not possible. Even a free person or an elderly person can direct the nail to the tip of the nail to be cut by moving in the rotation direction, so that the nail can be cut by himself.

The invention's effect

According to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained by providing the support in a rotatable state at one end of the nail clipper.
That is, by inserting a finger into the finger insertion and placing the nail clipper on another finger, the nail clipper can be supported, so the nail clipper support angle can be set without pinching the nail clipper body between fingers. It can be changed freely.
As a result, it has become possible to easily support the nail clipper and to direct the cutting blade to a convenient direction and position with respect to the nail to be cut.
When a pair of support tools are attached to the nail clipper, the nail clipper can be supported by two fingers, so that the finger insertion does not rotate with respect to the finger and is always supported in a constant state. Can do.
Further, since the pair of support tools rotate independently of each other with respect to the nail clipper main body, they can be supported by two fingers at different angles, and the support state is further stabilized.
From the above, it became possible for elderly people to cut their nails with peace of mind. Moreover, even if there was some inconvenience in the movement of the finger, it was possible to obtain an effect such as being able to cut the nail by himself.

The present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 is a perspective view showing a nail clipper with a support according to the present invention in a usable state, FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view showing the nail clipper of FIG. 1 in a broken state, and FIG. 3 is a holder shown in FIG. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating the usage of FIG.
As shown in FIG. 1, the nail clipper 10 with a support according to the present invention rotates in a direction indicated by an arrow A in the figure at a nail clipper 12 that cuts the nail by a pressing operation, and an end of the nail clipper. The support tool 20 for nail clipping attached as described above is included.
The nail clipper 12 has a pair of press cutting blades 15 arranged opposite to one end side, a nail clipper main body 14 provided with a hole for hooking the nail clipper on the other end side, and a press cutting blade of the nail clipper main body 14 It comprises an operating rod 17 for pressing the pressing blade provided on the side.
Such a nail clipper 12 is generally commercially available, and the pressing blade 15 on the side joined to the operating rod 17 descends in the direction indicated by arrow B in the figure to cut the nail. The nail clipper 12 shown in FIG. 1 shows a state in which the operation rod 17 is arranged in a usable state.
As shown in FIG. 2, the commercially available nail clipper 12 is provided with a hole 16 at the end of the nail clipper main body 14 for suspending the nail clipper in a certain place and storing it. It can be hung using. The support 20 attached to the hole 16 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 2, the support tool 20 is attached to the hole 16 provided in the nail clipper main body 14, and using the attachment hole provided in the support tool 20, the attachment tool 18 such as a bolt, a nut, or a combination screw is used. The nail clipper is attached so as to be rotatable in the reciprocating direction.

As shown in FIG. 3, the holder 20 attached to the nail clipper 12 has a first attachment piece 21 provided for attachment to the hole 16 of the nail clipper main body 14, and extends the first attachment piece. The strip-shaped finger insertion 24 and the end portion of the band-shaped finger insertion are bent, and the first mounting piece 21 is formed in parallel with the second mounting piece 25. .
In such a configuration, the nail clipper 12 and the support 20 are rotated on the same plane because the flat surface of the nail clipper main body 14 provided with the holes 16 and the flat surface of the mounting piece 21 are in surface contact with each other. It is set to move only in the moving direction. Further, the distal end of the first mounting piece 21 is further extended substantially flush with the mounting piece, and the finger insertion 24 is formed by curving on one surface side of the mounting piece to provide a finger holder. It is disposed at a position spaced from one end of the nail clipper and is formed so as to rotate.
The first mounting piece 21 has a long hole 22, and the second mounting piece 25 has a hole 26. Screws that are attachment means 18 are inserted into the holes 26 and the long holes 22 and attached to the nail clipper main body 14.
The long hole 22 changes the diameter of the ring-shaped finger insert 24 that forms the holder 20, and the diameter is increased when the screws shown in FIG. 2 are positioned on the end side of the first mounting piece 21. The diameter increases and the diameter decreases when positioned in the opposite direction, and can be adjusted according to the thickness of the user's finger.
A usage example of the nail clipper 10 with a support having the finger insertion 24 extended from one end of the nail clipper 12 will be described with reference to the drawings.
As shown in FIG. 4, the finger insertion 24 of the support tool 20 is inserted with an index finger and supported by the index finger and the middle finger with a part of the finger insertion 24 being sandwiched, and the nail clipper 12 is supported by another finger. Then, the entire nail clipper 10 with a support is supported.
Such a nail clipper is convenient because the thumb is positioned above the operating rod 17 and the pressing direction of the operating rod matches the bending direction of the thumb.
The operation of pressing the operating rod 17 with the thumb to cut the nail is the same as a general nail clipper. Although the finger inserted into the finger insertion 24 has been described as the index finger, any finger may be inserted, and the support method of the holder 20 is not limited to the above-described example.
Since the nail clipper 12 rotates when the support tool 20 is supported by a finger, the nail can be cut in a convenient direction. The nail clippers that do not use a support tool are used by setting the direction of the nail clippers by bending the wrists and fingers. Because it can be used in a stable state, there is little concern about deep nails, etc., and even if there is a problem with finger movement, it can be handled by changing the supporting finger.

Another support of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a support according to another example of the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 5, the support 30 shown in another example includes an attachment piece 31 provided with a hole 32 for attachment to a nail clipper, and a ring-shaped finger insertion 34 provided by extending the attachment piece. Unlike the above-described example, the distal end portion of the finger insertion remains in a ring shape without providing the second mounting piece.
Moreover, the front-end | tip part is the state which mutually separated, without joining to the attachment piece 31. FIG. Accordingly, when the support 30 is formed of an elastic body such as a synthetic resin or metal, the support 30 is set so as to expand in the direction indicated by the arrow in the figure and to increase its diameter.
The diameter of the finger insertion 34 is set smaller than that in the above example, and when the finger is inserted, the diameter increases due to elasticity, and the same effect can be obtained as when the diameter can be adjusted.
According to such a support tool 30, it is not necessary to adjust the diameter according to the thickness of the user's finger as in the above example, and the attachment to the nail clipper is easy. The support 30 is also attached to the nail clipper using the attachment means 18 in the same manner as the above-described example shown in FIG.

An example in which two support tools are used for one nail clipper will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 6 is a partially broken perspective view showing an example of use of the support shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 6, the support tool 30 shown in FIG. 5 can be used while being opposed to the front and back surfaces of one nail clipper.
According to such a usage example, when the index finger and the middle finger are inserted into each finger insertion 34, for example, the nail clipper can be supported by only two fingers.
Since each support tool 30 does not move as a unit with respect to the nail clipper but can rotate independently, the support tool 30 can be used by being distributed at an angle that is easy to support. The state can be further stabilized.
The example of using two support tools for the nail clipper is not limited to the support tool 30 shown in FIG. 5, but the support tool 20 of the above-mentioned example as shown in FIG. 3 can be used similarly. It is.

Although the example which can be supported with two fingers by using two support tools was demonstrated, the support tool which uses two fingers with one support tool is demonstrated with reference to drawings.
FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a support tool showing a first embodiment of another example, and FIG. 8 is a perspective view of a support tool showing a second embodiment of another example.
As shown in FIG. 7, the support tool 40 shown in the first embodiment of the other example is configured by integrating the support tool 30 shown in FIG. 5 and adding a finger insertion 44. 44 are opposed to each other.
Such a support tool 40 is also used by attaching to a nail clipper (not shown) in the same manner as in the above-described example, and can be supported by two fingers, and can be mounted to rotate with the nail clipper. Is the same.
However, as shown in FIG. 6, the finger insertion 44 does not rotate independently, but since only one attachment piece 41 is attached to the nail clipper, it can be easily attached using the hole 42.

As shown in FIG. 8, the support 50 shown in the second embodiment of the other example is one in which an L-shaped finger hook 58 is integrated with the support 30 shown in FIG. 5.
That is, the finger hook 58 is provided at the joint between the attachment piece 51 provided with the hole 52 and the ring-shaped finger insertion 54. When the index finger is inserted into the finger insertion 54, for example, the finger hook 58 contacts the middle finger. The nail clipper can be supported.
These examples using the two fingers including the above-described example can support the nail clipper in the direction orthogonal to the finger, without sandwiching the support tool between the two fingers. It has the effect of supporting the nail clippers simply by inserting a finger.
Although the attachment piece 51 with the hole 52 shown in FIG. 8 is provided on the terminal end side of the finger insertion 54 with the finger hook 58, it can be provided on the start end side of the finger insertion 54.

The support tool of the present invention described above moves the nail clipper in a planar shape only in the rotational direction by inserting a finger into a finger slot disposed away from one end of the nail clipper. , Without having to change the nail clipper each time, can be reliably supported.
Therefore, although the illustrated support tool has been described so that the diameter of the finger insertion can be varied, a support tool in which a mounting piece protrudes from a ring-shaped finger insertion having a constant diameter may be used. Of course, even with such a support, the finger insertion portion is separated from one end of the nail clipper and moves only in the rotational direction.
Since the nail clipper and the support are separate, they can be easily attached to your favorite nail clipper that you have been using so far, and you can cut the nail safely, so the elderly and hand movement are inconvenient It is a support tool for nail clippers that is a strong ally for those who like it.
