Abstract

A nail clipping and collecting device includes a housing and a clipper. The housing defines an interior volume and includes first and second actuation mechanisms. The clipper is enclosed by the housing. The clipper includes a first support having an end with a first cutting edge and a second support movably connected to the first support and having an end with a second cutting edge. The clipper includes a first lever arm having a first portion coupled to the first support and a second portion having a first interfacing surface interfacing with the first actuation mechanism and a second lever arm having a first portion coupled to the second support and a second portion having a second interfacing surface interfacing with the second actuation mechanism. As the first and second actuation mechanisms are actuated, the clipper is brought from a first disengaged position to a second engaged position.
