Abstract

A nail clipper assembly, including a hollow body accommodating a nail clipping mechanism which includes a pair arms, each terminating in a blade, such that a gap is formed between the blades. A button is disposed in a portal in the body and is depressible from the exterior of the hollow body. The button engaging one of the arms, and depression of the button reduces the gap between the blades. A unitarily formed front cover includes a hollow portion defining a portal which accommodates the blades, and a pair of symmetrical extensions, extending rearwardly from its sides. When the nail clipper assembly is closed, the blades are disposed within the portal and are flush with a front end of the front cover. Nail clippings generated during use of the nail clipping mechanism are collected within the hollow body portion of the front cover.

Dependent claims

A nail clipper assembly, comprising:

a body defining a hollow and including at least one surface defining a portal, the hollow accommodating a nail clipping mechanism, the nail clipping mechanism including a pair arms, each terminating in a blade, such that a gap is formed between the blades;
a button, disposed in the portal of the body and depressible relative thereto from the exterior of the hollow body, the button engaging one of the arms such that depression of the button results in reducing the gap between the blades of the nail clipping mechanism;
and
a unitarily formed front cover, including:
a hollow body portion, including a front portal adapted to accommodate the blades of the nail clipping mechanism;
a pair of symmetrical extensions, extending rearwardly from sides of the hollow body portion,
wherein, in a closed operative state of the nail clipper assembly, the extensions of the front cover extend along sides of the body, such that the blades are disposed within the portal and are flush with a front end of the front cover,
wherein in an open operative state of the nail clipper assembly, the blades are accessible to a user, and
wherein nail clippings generated during use of the nail clipping mechanism are collected within the hollow body portion of the front cover, and are stored therein until opening of the nail clipper assembly.

6 more elements

A nail clipper assembly, comprising:

a hollow upper body portion including:
a front surface terminating in a front edge;
an upper surface defining a portal;
side surfaces and a rear surface all terminating in a first edge;
a hollow lower body portion including:
a front surface terminating in a first blade;
a lower surface;
side surfaces and a rear surface all terminating in a second edge;
a button, disposed within the portal and depressible relative thereto from an exterior of the upper body portion;
an arm, anchored to the lower surface and terminating in a second blade, the arm being resiliently disposed in engagement with the front edge of the upper body portion, such that the second blade is disposed adjacent the first blade, and a gap is formed between the first and second blades;
and
a lever including an end engaging the button and a pushing portion engaging the arm,
wherein depression of the button causes the lever to apply pressure to the arm, pushing the arm toward the lower body portion, thereby reducing the gap between the blades,
wherein, in a closed operative state of the nail clipper assembly, the upper body portion is disposed above the lower body portion, and
wherein nail clippings generated during use of the nail clipping mechanism are collected within the hollow lower body portion, and are stored therein until opening of the nail clipper assembly.
