Remotely actuated toe nail clipper

DETAILED DESCRIPTION In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of toe nail clippers now present in the prior art, the present invention provides an improved remotely actuated toe nail clipper.
As such, the general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a new and improved remotely actuated toe nail clipper which has all the advantages of the prior art toe nail clippers and none of the disadvantages.
To attain this, representative embodiments of the concepts of the present invention are illustrated in the drawings and make use of a cylindrical tubular housing which encloses an axially reciprocating plunger rod.
A leaf spring type toe nail clipper extends through a slot in a bottom portion of the housing.
An actuating lever of the toe nail clippers is in engagement with the plunger rod.
A scissor mechanism extends transversely through a slot in an upper portion of the housing for actuating the plunger rod.
The device is particularly designed for use by individuals who have difficulty reaching their toe nails with conventional forms of nail clippers.
In a second embodiment, the axially movable plunger rod may be electrically actuated by a solenoid mechanism.
An adjustable telescope is mounted in parallel relation to the cylindrical housing and provides an individual with a clear view of the toe nail trimming operation.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the invention in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated.
There are, of course, additional features of the invention that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
In this respect, before explaining at least one embodiment of the invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and to the arrangements of the components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings
