ABSTRACT:
A nail stick trimmer is shown having a base, and a vertical tower for supporting a nail stick and for trimming off a used portion of the nail stick. The vertical tower includes a support portion that is fixed to the base of the nail stick trimmer and a separate clamping portion that is removably attached to the support portion. A surface of the support portion of the vertical tower defines an angled recess that has dimensions for cradling the nail stick against the support portion. The clamping portion of the vertical tower mates with the support portion in order to hold the nail stick in the angled recess during a trimming process. A blade carrier is slidably supported on an outer periphery of the support portion and a blade supported within the blade carrier travels along a cutting plane as the blade carrier is moved relative to the vertical tower. A nail stick to be processed for reuse is placed within the recess through the vertical tower with a used end portion of the nail stick extending beyond the cutting plane. The used end portions of the nail stick are trimmed off by downward movement of the blade carrier relative to the vertical tower. A biasing device is also provided for returning the blade carrier to an upward resting position after downward movement of the blade carrier has resulted in trimming of the used end portion of a nail stick.
