Abstract
A nail clipper for pets has a scissors structure provided with cutting surfaces formed by curved blade pieces. The curved blade pieces are created by dividing a spherical or elliptical body into quarter pieces having a hollow interior and formed with curved cutting edges. The blade pieces are hinged to opposite ends of a holding piece and moved by pivoting parts coupled to the ends of operating parts of the scissors structure. By operating the scissors structure, the curved blade pieces open and come together to cut the pet's nail, producing smooth nail edges cut in a curved shape with a single cutting action.
Claims9
A nail clipper for pets comprising a pair of cutting surfaces formed by curved blade pieces, wherein each curved blade piece is substantially identical to the other and is formed by a curved surface with a hollow interior and a curved cutting edge, and means for pivotably mounting the curved blade pieces to face and abut with each other along their cutting edges to cut the pet's nails with a convex finish,
- wherein said means for pivotably mounting the curved blade pieces is constituted by the blade pieces being hinged by respective hinge parts to respective opposite ends of a holding piece and adapted to be pivotably moved by pivoting parts pivotally coupled to respective operating parts of the scissors structure said holding piece having a length extending substantially perpendicular to a plane of the cutting edges when the blades pieces abut one another, and further comprising a collecting box having a volume defined by a surface forming a perimeter around the blade pieces, hinge parts, holding piece, and pivoting parts where they are coupled to the operating parts of the scissors structure.
