Abstract
The plastic retainer is of skeletal construction sized to receive a nail clipper. The side walls of the retainer receive the nail clipper in friction fit manner and define a chamber to receive nail clippings. In addition, the forward end of the nail clipper is received in a recessed position with the jaws of the nail clipper behind a front wall of the retainer. The forward end of the nail clipper can be moved to a raised operating position with the jaws of the nail clipper above the front wall and in an exposed position for nail cutting purposes. Projections are provided on the retainer at the forward end to prevent the forward end of the nail clipper from moving out of the retainer when being raised into the raised operating position.
