Description
- The present application derives priority from U.S. provisional application No. 60/772,128 filed 25 Jan. 2006.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to nail clippers and, more particularly, to an improved nail clipper including an incorporated nail arrestor that prevents the unconstrained ejection and propulsion of cut nail clippings.
- 2. Description of the Background
- A key component of a well-groomed appearance is a set of carefully trimmed nails. While cosmetically attractive nails that are clean and neatly trimmed are also an important factor in a person's overall health. Although the importance of trimming one's finger and toenails is undisputed, there is a drawback associated with this procedure. Specifically, collecting and disposing loose nail clippings after the nails have been neatly trimmed can be difficult. Most fingernail clippers feature sharp blades, which clamp together to cut the nail, when the user compresses an operating lever connected to the blades. The pressure created when compressing the clipper blades can easily force the clipped nail to propel from the nail clippers. Nail clippings often contain germs and bacteria. Handling nail clippings, even simply to toss them in a garbage bin can be an unsanitary and unpleasant experience.
- Therefore, it would be greatly advantageous to provide a nail clipper including an incorporated nail arrestor that: 1) prevents the unconstrained ejection and propulsion of cut nail clippings; 2) collects nail clippings in a neat and efficient manner; 3) allows the user to dispose nail clippings without touching them; 4) collects and discards nail clippings in a sanitary manner which could effectively reduce the spread of germs and bacteria; 5) possesses a simple and scalable design; 6) is fabricated of lightweight materials providing an appropriate degree of flexibility, resiliency, durability, and longevity; 7) is inexpensive to manufacture and sell to provide for widespread use and disposability.
- It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide a nail clipper with a nail collection mechanism.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a nail clipper including an incorporated nail arrestor that prevents the unconstrained ejection and propulsion of cut nail clippings.
- Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a nail clipper which includes a receptacle formed by a grommet disposed within cutting blades, whereby the receptacle catches nail clippings as they are cut from the nail.
- Still another object of the present invention is to provide a nail clipper that efficiently collects and discards nail clippings.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a nail clipper that allows users to discard loose nail clippings without having to touch the clippings.
- Still another object of the present invention is to provide a nail clipper that possesses a simple and scalable design.
- It is another object of the present invention to provide a nail clipper that is fabricated of lightweight materials providing an appropriate degree of flexibility, resiliency, durability, and longevity.
- An additional object of the present invention is to provide a nail clipper that is inexpensive to manufacture and sell to provide for widespread use and disposability.
- In accordance with the above and other objects, the device of the present invention is a nail clipper including an incorporated nail arrestor. The nail clipper includes two steel plates connected at one end and with cutting edges at an opposing end, and an operating thumb-detent lever, which moves the cutting edges of the plates together. A pivot pin is inserted through bores in both first and second plates, at a spaced distance behind the cutting edges. The lever is held captive on the pivot pin external to the first plate for biasing the two plates together. A grommet encircles the portion of the pivot pin resting between the plates and maintains a spaced distance between the plates to form an opening for receiving a nail. The space between the foam and the topside of the second plate forms a receptacle for receiving nail clippings after they fall downwards from the cutting edges. The clippings may be emptied directly into a trash bin by tilting the nail clipper sideways, thereby allowing the clippings to slide out of the receptacle.
- Other objects, features, and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment and certain modifications thereof when taken together with the accompanying drawings in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a side perspective view of theclipper 1. -
FIG. 2 is a side view of theclipper 1 cutting a nail. - The present invention is a
nail clipper 1 including an incorporated nail arrestor that prevents the unconstrained ejection and propulsion of cut nail clippings 9.FIG. 1 is a side perspective view of theclipper 1. Thenail clipper 1 largely comprises a conventional nail clipper including a first plate 2 and asecond plate 3. First plate 2 includes a down turned cutting edge 4 and asecond plate 3 includes an upturned cutting edge 5 at one end. The cutting edges 4, 5 may be slightly contoured, having a crescent shape, which accommodates the natural shape of the fingernail and toenail. A bore (not shown) is drilled through the opposing end of bothplates 2, 3. Apin 6 is inserted through the bores to connect first 2 and second 3 plates together. Alternately any suitable means may be utilized to connect said first 2 and second 3 plates together, such as welding or gluing. A bore (not shown) is drilled into each of first 2 andsecond plates 3 at a spaced distance behind the cutting edges 4, 5, and apivot pin 7 is inserted through each bore to secure first 2 andsecond plates 3 together. An operating thumb-detent lever 11 is held captive on thepivot pin 7 external to the first plate 2 for biasing the twoplates 2, 3 together. First 2 andsecond plates 3, lever 11, andpins - In accordance with the present invention, an
elastic grommet 8 encircles the portion of thepivot pin 7 between the first 2 and second 3 plates, using thepin 7 as an axis. Thegrommet 8 may be formed of rubber, foam or other suitable resilient material, cut in an annular-disc configuration with a central through-bore for passing thepin 7. Thegrommet 8 is dimensioned with a pre-determined diameter calculated to expand outward to abut the cutting edges 4, 5 when the twoplates 2, 3 are levered together to cut a nail. Grommet 8 is also sized with a vertical (axial) dimension that spans the twoplates 2, 3 in order to impart a bias there between. This way, as a user levers the twoplates 2, 3 together to clip a nail, theplates 2, 3 will sandwich thegrommet 8 and compress it, causinggrommet 8 to radially expand. Preferably, the axial dimension ofgrommet 8 is such that it begins to expand immediately asplates 2, 3 are forced together. Grommet 8 is radially dimensioned so that upon full compression it will extend to and abut the inner cutting edges 4, 5 ofplates 2, 3. This way, theelastic grommet 8 expands outward to pin clipped nails against the cutting edges 4, 5 ofplates 2, 3, and will hold a clipped nail 9 in place after it is cut. The space between thegrommet 8 and the topside of thesecond plate 3 forms areceptacle 10 for receiving nail clippings 9 after they fall downwards from the cutting edges 4, 5. -
FIG. 2 is a side view of theclipper 1 cutting a nail. When the operating lever 11 is depressed it contacts the top surface of first plate 2, and the cutting edges 4, 5 of first 2 and second 3 plates move closer together and thereby cut the nail inserted through the opening, and the resulting nail clipping falls 9 into thereceptacle 10. After all of the nails are cut, the resulting clippings 9 accumulated within thereceptacle 10 may be emptied directly into a trash bin by tilting thenail clipper 1 sideways, thereby allowing the clippings 9 to slide out of thereceptacle 10. Hence, thenail clipper 1 allows users to discard loose nail clippings 9 without having to touch the clippings 9. - A metal nail file (not shown) can be secured to the
pivot pin 7 over the operating lever 11 to further assist in manicuring nails. - In use, the individual positions the
nail clipper 1 such that the cutting edges 4, 5 are around the portion of the nail to be clipped. Then the user would gently move the operating lever 11 downwards, thereby compressing the cutting blades 4, 5 and clipping the unwanted nail. As the cutting edges 4, 5 are released, the clipped nail 9 naturally bounces off thegrommet 8 and drops into thereceptacle 10 formed by thegrommet 8. Upon completion, the user simply empties theclipper 1 by inverting it over a trash bin and allows the collected clippings 9 to easily fall out ofclipper 1. - The
nail clipper 1 collects nail clippings 9 neatly and efficiently, and allows the user to dispose the clippings 9 in a sanitary manner, which effectively reduces the spread of germs and bacteria. Additionally, thenail clipper 1 possesses a simple and scalable design and is fabricated of lightweight materials providing an appropriate degree of flexibility, resiliency, durability, and longevity. Thenail clipper 1 is also inexpensive to manufacture and sell to provide for widespread use and disposability. - Having now fully set forth the preferred embodiments and certain modifications of the concept underlying the present invention, various other embodiments as well as certain variations and modifications of the embodiments herein shown and described will obviously occur to those skilled in the art upon becoming familiar with said underlying concept. It is to be understood, therefore, that the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically set forth herein.
