A thumb bar is nonrotatably mounted to the pin about a first axis coinciding with an axis of the reaction pin to an from an operative position and is rotatable about a second axis normal to the first axis to urge the cutting means together in nail clipping engagement in the operative position. A receptacle for accumulating nail clippings is carried by the lower member and has an outlet. A plate mounted to the pin closes the outlet in the operative position of the thumb bar and automatically moves from its closed position upon rotation of the bar from its operative position to permit emptying of the receptacle of nail clippings.

The latch engages the lower element in the operative position of the bar to set the members in the closed position and automatically moves out of engagement with the lower element upon rotation of the bar away from its operative position to dispose the members in the open position to permit the receptacle to the emptied of clippings.
