Abstract
A nail clipper includes a clipper body with a pair of jaws, a lever configured to move the jaws to cut nail, a thumb ring member rotatably mounted to the lever, the thumb ring member having first and second ring members, each defining an inner opening through which a thumb of the user can be introduced. The nail clipper further includes a connection plate member which is formed unitarily with the first and second ring members into one piece and connecting between the lower portions of the first and second ring members, wherein the connection plate member has a planar upper surface and includes a bore formed vertically there-through, and a fastener is coupled to the bore of the connection plate member and allows the thumb ring member to freely rotate relative to the lever.

A nail clipper comprising:
- a clipper body formed with first and second clipper body members, said first and second clipper body members each having a matching jaw portion at a distal portion thereof for clipping operation;
- a lever member configured to move said match jaw portions from an opened position to a cutting position for cutting a nail inserted between said matching jaw portions;
- a thumb ring member rotatably mounted to a proximal end of the lever member, the thumb ring member including first and second ring members, said first and second ring members each having a generally circular, elliptical or oval ring shape with an inner opening through which a thumb of a user can be introduced for clipping operation, the first and second ring members disposed in parallel relation to each other, the thumb ring member further including a connection plate member of a predetermined width and length, said connection plate member formed unitarily with the first and second ring members into one piece, and thereby connecting and bridging between a lower portion of the first and second ring members, the connection plate member having a planar upper surface and including a bore formed vertically through the connection plate member;
- and
- a fastener coupled to the bore of the connection plate member and allowing the thumb ring member to freely rotate relative to the lever member.
An operation lever unit for a nail clipper having a pair of jaw portions to cut nail, the operation lever unit comprising:
- a lever member configured to move the jaw portions of the nail clipper from an opened position to a cutting position for cutting a nail inserted between the jaw portions;
- a thumb ring member rotatably mounted to a proximal end of the lever member, the thumb ring member including first and second ring members, said first and second ring members each having a generally circular, elliptical or oval ring shape with an inner opening through which a thumb of a user can be introduced for clipping operation, the first and second ring members disposed in parallel relation to each other, the thumb ring member further including a connection plate member of a predetermined width and length, said connection plate member formed unitarily with the first and second ring members into one piece, and thereby connecting and bridging between a lower portion of the first and second ring members, the connection plate member having a planar upper surface and including a bore formed vertically through the connection plate member;
- and
- a fastener coupled to the bore of the connection plate member and allowing the thumb ring member to freely rotate relative to the lever member.
