| Details |
Inventors: Larisey, William;
Assignee:
Primary Examiner: Payer; Hwei-Siu
Assistant Examiner:
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Killough; B. Craig
A nail clipper having a first jaw and a second jaw in a spring biased relationship, wherein said jaws are displaced toward each other to cut a nail which is placed between a cutting blade of the jaws. An arcuate leaf member is present between the jaws and is displaced by one of the jaws toward the remaining jaw, wherein said leaf contacts the nail before the nail is cut so that the leaf directs the nail, such as directing the nail into a receptacle. |
|
DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed: 1.
A nail clipper, comprising: a.
a first jaw having a cutting blade; b.
a second jaw which is in a hinged relationship with said first jaw and is normally spaced apart from first jaw on at least one end thereof, and wherein said first jaw is capable of displacement toward said second jaw, and contacts a cutting blade of said second jaw as said first jaw and said second jaw are displaced toward each other; and c.
a leaf spring which is positioned between said first jaw and said second jaw, said leaf spring having a free end which extends from a point of contact of said leaf spring with said first jaw toward said cutting blade of said first jaw, wherein said leaf spring has an arcuate shape from said point of contact of said leaf spring with said first jaw to said free end, and wherein said leaf spring is displaced toward said second jaw as said first jaw is displaced toward said second jaw, and said free end moves to a position which is lower than an upper surface of said cutting blade of said second jaw when said second jaw contacts said cutting blade of said first jaw, and said free end contacts a nail placed between said first jaw and said second jaw prior to said first jaw contacting said nail.
2.
A nail clipper as described in claim 1, further comprising a receptacle which is opposite said leaf spring.
3.
A nail clipper as described in claim 17, further comprising a first lever which is positioned over said first jaw and which extends from one side of said second jaw at generally a right angle, and a second lever which extends from said second jaw generally parallel to said first lever, and wherein displacement of said first lever and said second lever toward each other causes displacement of said first jaw toward said second jaw.
4.
A nail clipper as described in claim 1, further comprising a receptacle which is opposite said leaf spring, wherein said receptacle has an opening therein, and wherein said opening has a cover which selectively covers and uncovers said opening
