Abstract
Devices, systems, and methods for nail clipping, for example, animal nail clipping, include a nail clipper including a body for grasping by a user's hand. The body may define a clip space as an opening for insertion of a subject's nail for clipping. The clipper can include at least one blade coupled with the body for movement between a withdraw position retracted from the clip space and a clip position extended into the clip space for clipping, and a clipping control system including a sensor system for detecting non-shell material of a subject's nail within the clip space.
Claims15
A nail clipper, comprising:
- a body frame for grasping by a user's hand, the body frame defining a clip space as an opening for insertion of a subject's nail for clipping, wherein the body frame remains stationary relative to a blade;
- a linear actuator comprising the blade coupled with the body frame for movement between a withdraw position retracted from the clip space and a clip position extended into the clip space for clipping,
- a clipping control system including a sensor system in the body frame for detecting non-shell material of a subject's nail within the clip space, and
- a guide arranged in the clip space, the guide formed of resilient material for providing resilient contact with the subject's nail for positioning within the clip space.
