A nail clipper of the kind having spring arms arranged to be driven into nail clipping engagement of clipper jaws, is equipped with a nail positioning device mounted on or about the pin to which the lever is connected, and the device is held in nail positioning orientation relative to the clipper jaws when the lever is in the force applying operative relation. An antitilt member may also be provided. The device may comprise dual nail length gauging and antitilt structures which may be separate members, or combined in one member. The nail length gauging member may be adjustable for attaining selected nail length trimming positions. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PRESENT INVENTION As shown in FIGS.
1, 2 and 3, a best mode embodiment of the present invention is depicted in combination with a conventional nail clipper 15 which has generally mirror image spring arms comprising an upper arm 17 and a lower arm 18 diverging from a fixed rear end connection such as a rivet 19.
At the opposite front or working end of the clipper the arm 17 has a cutting edge jaw 20 and the arm 18 has a complementary cutting edge jaw 21, with the cutting edges facing toward one another and normally spaced apart so as to receive therebetween a finger nail 22 to be trimmed.
As is customary, the jaws 20 and 21 are of a concave form, as viewed in plan in FIG.
3.
The cutting edges are arranged to be driven into nail clipping engagement by an operating handle lever 23 pivotally connected by means of a terminal force transmission cross bar 24 to a connecting pin 25 which extends oscillatably through aligned holes in the arms 17 and 18 adjacent to the jaws 20 and 21.
At its lower end, the pin 25 has a retaining flange 27, while the opposite, upper or head end of the pin projects above the upper arm 17 and has a hooked recess 28 in which the transmission bar 24 is engaged.
This retains the lever and pin assembled with the clipper arms.
The handle lever 23 is adapted to be swung by rotation of the pin 25 about the pin axis between a nail clipping force applying operative relation wherein a fulcrum 29 on the lever engages the arm 17 as shown in FIG.
1, and an out-of-the-way inactive relation to the arms 17 and 18 as shown in dash outline in FIG.
10.
By rocking the lever 23 about its fulcrum 29, the spring arms are moved against their spring bias into nail clipping engagement of the jaws 20 and 21.
According to the present invention, a nail positioning device 30 (FIGS.
1, 2 and 3) is mounted about the pin 25 and is adapted to gauge the length of the nail 22 after it has been clipped by the jaws 20 and 21 Stated another way, the device 30 determines or gauges the amount of the nail 20 to be removed by the clipper
