Embodiment Construction

[0009]FIG. 1A exemplarily illustrates a front perspective view of the adjustable nail clipper 100, and FIG. 1B exemplarily illustrates a side perspective view of the adjustable nail clipper 100. The primary purpose of the adjustable nail clipper 100 is to help users to cut their toe nails, while the users are seated on a chair in an upright position. The adjustable nail clipper 100 also helps users with back pain, or who are slightly overweight, which reduces their ability to easily bend down to cut their toe nails. Some users also suffer from problems related to giddiness. Giddiness might cause users to fall over while bending over for too long to cut their toe nails. The adjustable nail clipper 100 supports the foot of a user to clip the toe nails of the user. The adjustable nail clipper 100 is generally a T-shaped frame work supported by a support leg assembly 101, and comprises a hollow shaft 102, a handle 103, a clipper head 109 with cutting blades 110, and a foot rest 105. In ...

Abstract

An adjustable nail clipper supports a foot of a user to clip toe nails of the user. The adjustable nail clipper comprises a support leg assembly, a hollow shaft, a handle, a clipper head with cutting blades, and a foot rest. The hollow shaft extends from an upper end of the support leg assembly, and the handle is attached to the hollow shaft. The clipper head is attached proximal to a bottom end of the hollow shaft, and the cutting blades of the clipper head are actuated via a clipping lever attached to the hollow shaft. The foot rest is pivotally connected to the hollow shaft, and positioned frontally to the clipper head. The foot rest is configured to receive and support the foot of the user seated on a chair, and to allow the user to clip each toe nail after aligning each toe nail between the cutting blades.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a device for clipping toe nails. More particularly, the present invention relates to an adjustable nail clipper which is configured as a stand, where the user can clip the toe nails from a seated position.BACKGROUND[0002]Conventionally, toe nails are clipped using hand held nail-clippers which range from different sizes and shapes. The hand-held nail-clippers comprise blades which are pressed down using leverage applied with the fingers of the user, while the hand-held nail-clippers are held in their hand. A user, whether in a seated position or a standing position, has to bend down to hold the hand-held nail-clipper near the toe nails, and then the blades are engaged over each toe nail. Now, the user must apply a clipping pressure to press the blades over the toe nail, to clip the toe nail. Another requirement is that, in addition to the user bending down, he / she might also need to bend the leg to get proper access of the...
