ABSTRACT:
A finger/toe nail clipper assembly 10 comprises a lower arm 2 unitary with vertical side walls 4 and 6. The arms 2 and 14 are spaced in overlying arrangement, fastened at one end 8 and terminating in spaced facing jaw formations 14a and 2a. The jaw formations 14a and 2a comprise concave center blade sections 32 and 34 and angular side blade sections 42 and 44 that terminate in sharpened cutting edges and engage the center blade sections 32 and 34 and the side walls 4 and 6. The side blade sections 42 and 44 function as movable slots to fit various-sized finger/toe nails. When the blades 32 and 34 and 42 and 44 are engaged in "cutting" position, the interior chamber 24 of the device 10 is completely enclosed by the interior facing surfaces of the arms 2 and 14, side walls 4 and 6, and blade sections 32 and 34 and 42 and 44. The invention 10 eliminates the deflection and obstruction problems caused by the conventional mounting pin by providing other mounting means for the actuating lever. The front edges of the side walls 4 and 6 proximate the jaw formations 14a and 2a include passage means 46 to receive projection means 52b and 52e in order to mount the actuating lever 16. The actuating lever 16 comprises a stationary front plate 52 mounted to the side walls 4 and 6 and a rotating portion 17, fastened together by a rivet 18, allowing pivoting of the actuating lever 16 from active to inactive condition and vice versa. Portions of the side walls 4 and 6 provide side barriers, preventing the actuating lever 16 from slipping sideways during use. Disposal means include a disposal hatch 12 fastened to the undersurface of the lower arm 2 by a rivet 22. The disposal hatch 12 may be swung sideways about the rivet 22 to reveal the opening 2c in the lower arm 2 to release accumulated clippings in a controlled manner.
