ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a non-power type of nose or nostril hair cutter.
2. Discussion of the Prior Art
The nostril hairs grow as time elapses, like the hairs appearing in some other parts of the human body. To keep the hair of the head neat, it should be cut periodically. Also, since the hairs under the arms or the hairs on the intimate parts of the body do not grow excessively due to friction against skin or clothes, they do not need to be cut separately and more particularly, can be shielded by the clothes.
However, since cutting of the hairs of the nostrils is not included within a basic charge in a barber's shop or a beauty salon, if there is he who wishes to have his own nose hairs cut, he should pay a separate cutting fee. If the separate fee is not paid, he should cut his nose hairs by himself. To this end, there have been presented an electric motor type of hairs of the nostrils cutter which is manufactured similarly to an electric razor and takes approximate fountain pen shape, in which a small battery is installed and a rotary type cutting edge is provided. However, it exhibits the following disadvantages; a malfunction occurs frequently; and the small battery should be exchanged within a proper time. Further, it generates several problems as follows; if it is not often cleaned, since a bad smell is generated from the cutter and bacteria are cultivated therein, it is used in an insanitary state; it is inconvenient to clean; and the cutting of the hairs of the nostrils is not well done. In other words, the hairs of the nostrils grow not in a straight state, but in an irregularly curved state. Also, they have a sharp ending part as the end of a needle and are relatively soft. In addition, since a viscous liquid of body fluids always exist within the nostrils along with nose runnings, the hairs of the nostrils can not be easily inserted into a minute hole which is formed on the net of the electric motor type of nostril hairs cutter. This results in deterioration of cutting efficiency and sanitariness. As a result, it is general that the hairs of the nostrils are cut with small scissors. However, there occur problems in that the removal of the hairs of the nostrils with the scissors is not safety and requires a relative long cutting time. Moreover, it provides some disadvantages in that it is used in an insanitary state and provides a bad appearance during used.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
An object of the present invention is to provide a non-power type or unpowered of nostril or nose hairs cutter which is convenient and safe to be used and since it is operated in a non-power type manner, also does not generate a malfunction, such that it can ensure a semipermanent use.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a non-power type of hairs of the nostrils cutter which has the following advantages: cleaning is executed in an easy manner; because of a small size, it is portable in a simple manner; and it is operated in a sanitary state.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a non-power type of hairs of the nostrils cutter, including: a folding portion which is made by folding a steel plate having a good degree of elasticity and strength, at a center thereof and in a downward direction thereof; handle portions which are formed to be opposite to each other centering around the folding portion; a first circular cutting pipe which is welded on the top end of the one to handle portion and has a first inclined surface on an external edge thereof, the first inclined surface formed in an inward direction; and a second circular cutting pipe which is welded on the top end of the other handle portion and has a second inclined surface on an edge of the internal side thereof, the second inclined surface formed to be opposite to the first inclined surface, the second circular cutting pipe having a smaller outer diameter than the inner diameter of the first circular cutting pipe, wherein if the handle portions are closed by the force of a user's hand, the second circular cutting pipe is somewhat inserted into the first circular cutting pipe, so that the hairs of the nostrils placed between the first and second circular cutting pipes which are opposite are cut.
Preferably, the first and second circular cutting pipes can be replaced with third and fourth circular cutting pipes which each have an opening portion formed on the one side thereof.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a non-power type of hairs of the nostrils cutter, including a folding portion which is made by folding a steel plate having a good degree of elasticity and strength, at a center portion thereof and in a downward direction thereof; handle portions which are formed to be opposite to each other centering around the folding portion; a first cutting pipe which is welded on the top end of the one handle portion and has a first straight line portion on the lower portion thereof and a first circular pipe on the upper portion thereof; and a second cutting pipe which is welded on the top end of the other handle portion and has a second straight line portion on the lower portion thereof and a second circular pipe on the upper portion thereof.
According to still another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a non-power type of hairs of the nostrils cutter, including: a first folding portion which is made by folding a steel plate having a good degree of elasticity and strength, at a center portion thereof and in a downward direction thereof; handle portions which are formed to be opposite to each other centering around the first folding portion; second and third folding portions which are formed on the upper portions of the handle portions; a cutting ring having a hole which is formed to be integrated with the second folding portion of the one handle portion; and a circular cutting plate which is formed to be integrated with the third folding portion of the other handle portion and is passed through the hole.
