US 2019/0239615 A1 · Adjustable Double Lever Nail Clipper

Abstract

A double levered, adjustable nail clipper that is particularly adapted to overcome the difficulties in cutting toenails. A typical embodiment has two action levers in opposed positions that permit applying twice the force of a single lever clipper. In addition, at least one of the action levers is rotatable turning a penetrating pin that adjusts the width of the cutting channel. This allows a simple conversion of the channel width to a close configuration for fingernails and a wide configuration for toenails. A particular embodiment optionally allows the attachment and carrying of keys at the base of the unit. Another embodiment has only a single lever and can optionally carry keys.
