ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for improving local illumination of a nail-cutting implement, such as clippers for human or animal nails. The apparatus includes a first plate terminating at one end in a first angled cutting edge; a second plate, coupled to and biased away from the first plate, terminating at one end in a second angled cutting edge springingly engaging with the first angled cutting edge; a shaft coupled to the plates proximate the cutting edges, for retaining a lever, the lever operating the plates in cooperation with the shaft to springingly engage and disengage the cutting edges relative to each other; an illumination system directing illumination into a field-of-view in an “ON” mode and the illumination system including an “OFF” mode in which the illumination system is inactive; and an illumination boom, coupled to one of the plates, for positioning the illumination system between a stowed position and an operating position, the stowed position engaging the OFF mode and the operating position engaging the ON mode to include the cutting edges within the field-of-view.
