Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a pair of pliers for arranging a portion to be cut (such as a toe nail, a fingernail, etc.), and relates to a pair of anti-splash pliers for nail care, which is used to prevent fragments from splashing when trimming the portion to be cut for nail care. Background Art

[0002] The contents described herein merely provide background information related to the present application and are not necessarily prior art.

[0003] Generally speaking, for nail care, for example, to keep fingernails and toenails clean and beautiful, it is necessary to periodically trim the toenails and fingernails to an appropriate length. Therefore, various types of nail care tools (lever-shaped nail clippers, scissors, and pliers) are currently used. In particular, in order to treat tinea pedis, pliers need to be used more frequently than lever-shaped nail clippers.

[0004] The nail clippers have nail cutting blades facing each other formed on one side of the upper blade and the lower blade. The lever of the lever-type nail clippers serves as a form for engaging the upper blade and the lower blade, and toenails and fingernails can be trimmed by inserting the protrusion of the toenail or fingernail between the upper blade and the lower blade. However, since there are no sharp parts on both sides of the blade, when dealing with toenails that are sunken into the flesh or treating tinea pedis, it is difficult to trim part of the part and pliers are often needed.

[0005] At present, the pliers used for nail care are used to insert toenails or fingernails between the pliers blades and engage the handles on both sides so that the pliers blades face each other to trim the toenails and fingernails. In this case, the pliers blades on both sides do not cross and trim in an engaged manner. The blades are in a wedge shape, so a very large shear repulsive force will be generated. This large repulsive force will cause the problem of the fragments of the cut toenails to splash and scatter. In particular, if the fragments of the toenails with tinea pedis are splashed and scattered, it is possible to transmit the tinea pedis to family members or people around, which not only causes problems at the hygienic level, but also requires careful prevention of the fragments from being scattered. Therefore, it is currently necessary to take measures to prevent the splashing.

[0006] The scissor-type nail clipper disclosed in Korean Public Utility Model No. 20-2013-0002991 includes: a first shearing part, which is composed of a head with a pliers blade formed at the end portion, an arc-shaped handle and a main body connected thereto, and the thickness of the above-mentioned main body is 1 / 2 of the other parts; a second shearing part, the head, the main body and the handle are formed to face the head, the main body and the handle of the above-mentioned first shearing part, and the main body is overlapped with the above-mentioned first shearing part; a hinge pin is arranged on the main bodies of the above-mentioned first shearing part and the above-mentioned second shearing part overlapping each other, so that the above-mentioned first shearing part and the above-mentioned second shearing part can rotate; and an elastic part is accommodated in the main bodies of the above-mentioned first shearing part and the second shearing part, and is used to expand between the handles of the above-mentioned shearing parts, wherein, since the first shearing part and the second shearing part trim the toenails in a facing manner, it is inevitable that the cut toenails will be splashed, and therefore, it is impossible to prevent the cut toenails from being splashed.

[0007] To date, although the pliers have slightly different designs and sizes, they are limited to the pliers blades and handles as described above, and careful users will cover the upper part of the pliers blades with their index fingers every time they use them to prevent fragments from flying.

[0010] Patent Document 0001: Korean Utility Model Publication No. 20-2013-0002991 Summary of the invention

[0011] In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the purpose of the present invention is to provide anti-splash pliers for nail care that are linked in real time with the operation of the two handles while satisfying all of the following conditions, namely, at the moment of trimming toenails and fingernails, etc., the upper part of the pliers blades is automatically blocked to block the powerfully splashing fragments. If the barrier sheet continues to block the upper part of the pliers blades, no action can be taken because the toenails cannot be identified. Therefore, when trimming toenails, there must be no barrier sheet on the upper part of the two pliers blades.

[0012] The present invention is characterized in that the anti-splash pliers for nail care include: a first main body and a second main body, with facing pliers blades formed at one side end, the pliers blades include a first pliers blade and a second pliers blade, when the pliers blades are unfolded, as the part to be cut (the protruding part of the fingernails and toenails) is inserted, the blades engage and trim the part to be cut; and an anti-splash part, which is linked with the second pliers blade and the second pliers blade, and when the blades are unfolded, the anti-splash part is detached from the upper part of the first pliers blade and the second pliers blade, and when the blades are closed, the barrier sheet blocks the upper part of the first pliers blade and the second pliers blade and prevents the fragments of the part to be cut trimmed by the first pliers blade and the second pliers blade from splashing strongly.

[0013] The present invention is characterized in that the splash prevention portion directly receives the rotational motion centered on the rotation axis of the first body or the second body, and rotates left and right within a predetermined angle range.

[0014] The anti-splash pliers for nail care of the present invention have the following effects, that is, when the pliers blades are closed for trimming toenails and fingernails, etc., the anti-splash pliers are linked with the barrier sheet of the anti-splash part to prevent the fragments from splashing far away by shielding the upper part of the pliers blades, so that the fragments are directly located above the pliers blades or fall below, thereby eliminating the discomfort caused by the splash of fragments and preventing the tinea pedis from causing infection to others by the tinea pedis fragments. In addition, comfortable nail care is provided, and when the pliers blades are unfolded and inserted for trimming toenails and fingernails, the barrier sheet of the anti-splash part moves to the side and cannot shield the pliers blades, toenails or fingernails, so the toenails and fingernails can be trimmed easily while fully observing the toenails / fingernails and the pliers blades.

[0015] In addition, the rotation stopper of the anti-splashing part allows the anti-splashing part to rotate within a specified angle range. Since the pliers blade and the handle only work within the specified angle range and will not be over-expanded, the pliers are convenient to use when trimming toenails.

[0016] The invention can be used for nail care of fingernails, toenails and the like and for various purposes. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0025] Hereinafter, in the process of describing the present invention, when it is judged that the specific description of the known function or structure may unnecessarily confuse the main idea of ​​the present invention, the detailed description will be omitted. Moreover, the terms used herein are defined in consideration of the functions of the present invention and may be different according to the intention or convention of the user or operator. Therefore, they should be defined based on the full content of this specification.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the splash-proof pliers 100 for nail care of the present invention include a first main body 10 and a second main body 20, which are cross-assembled with each other around a rotating shaft 60, and a first pliers blade 11 and a second pliers blade 21 are formed on one side end, and a first handle 13 and a second handle 23 for closing the first pliers blade 21 and the second pliers blade 21 are formed on the other side, forming a structure that allows the two main bodies 10 and 20 to be continuously expanded around the rotating shaft 60, for example, an elastic spring is arranged around the rotating shaft.

[0027] As a representative application method, the elastic spring used by the pliers 100 can be a leaf spring type, a spiral spring type, a Y-shaped spring, a spring around the axis, etc., which is arranged between the first handle 13 and the second handle 23. This is a known technology, and no matter which method is used, the effect of spreading the blade is provided, so the present invention will omit its detailed description.

[0028] The first body 10 and the second body 20 are described in further detail below. Figure 3As shown, the first body 10 is formed with a first pliers blade 11 at the front end based on the rotation axis 60, a support portion 11a for supporting the first pliers blade is formed between the first pliers blade 11 and the upper hinge portion, a protrusion 14 is formed on the outer peripheral surface 17 of the upper hinge portion centered on the rotation axis 60, the protrusion 14 is located near the position of the shaft pin 61 formed on the support portion 21a of the second body 20, and a locking shoulder 15 is formed on the opposite surface of the protrusion 14. A first handle 13 for closing the first pliers blade 11 and the second pliers blade 21 is formed on the rear side of the hinge portion. Although not shown in the figure, an upper spring fastening groove corresponding to the spring fastening groove 22 of the second body 20 is formed on the bottom surface of the upper hinge surface centered on the rotation axis 60.

[0029] In the drawings, the protrusion 14 is circular, but the shape is not limited thereto and may be various shapes such as rectangular or square.

[0030] In addition, the second main body 20 is formed with a second pliers blade 21 at the front end based on the rotation axis 60, and a support portion 21a for supporting the second pliers blade 21 is formed between the second pliers blade 21 and the hinge portion, and an axis pin 61 is formed on the support portion 21a to be movably connected to the axis hole 36 of the splash-proof portion 30. The rotation axis 60 is connected to the center of the lower hinge portion, and a spring fastening groove 22 is formed around it. The lower hinge portion is connected to a lock pin 62 constituting a lock, and a second handle 23 for closing the first pliers blade 11 and the second pliers blade 21 is formed. The first pliers blade 11 and the second pliers blade 21 include a straight blade with two blades formed in a straight line and a curved blade for bending and trimming the end of a toe nail and the end of a fingernail.

[0031] The splash-proof nail care nipper 100 of the present invention includes not only a first body 10 and a second body 20 that are cross-assembled with each other around a rotating shaft 60 , but also an anti-splash portion 30 , which will be described in detail below.

[0032] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the splash-proof portion 30 is composed of a barrier sheet 31 and a driving frame 32 .

[0033] Preferably, the barrier sheet 31 is a flat plate or a concave shape along the inner side, and its size can cover the upper part of the first pliers blade 11 and the second pliers blade 21, and, considering the design level, preferably, it should be a size that cannot protrude from the outer side of the first pliers blade 11 and the second pliers blade 21 when the first pliers blade 11 and the second pliers blade 21 are closed and the front end is sharp. In addition, the barrier sheet 31 is made of a transparent flexible material such as transparent silicon, and when the first pliers blade 11 and the second pliers blade 21 are closed, the interior between the first pliers blade 11 and the second pliers blade 21 and the barrier sheet 31 can be observed, and the barrier effect can be increased by preventing the secondary splash phenomenon caused by elasticity. In addition, the barrier sheet 31 is formed as a plane or a curved surface with a concave inner side, which can guide the secondary splash between the barrier sheet and the blade.

[0034] The driving frame 32 includes: a connecting portion 33 connected to the blocking sheet 31; a rotating shaft hole 36; a protrusion placement portion 34; and a rotating stopper 35. The driving frame 32 is made of a metal material or a durable plastic material, and may have appropriate structural strength such as wear resistance.

[0035] The connecting portion 33 is a part of the driving frame 32 and performs a medium function for inserting the barrier sheet 31. Figure 4 As shown, it can also be formed as one piece with the barrier sheet to simply form an anti-splash portion 30.

[0036] Moreover, in the pliers 100, since the first pliers blade 11 and the second pliers blade 21 are continuously unfolded by the built-in elastic body, there is a hidden danger that the sharp end of the blade may cause harm to the user, and when the first pliers blade 11 and the second pliers blade 21 are unfolded, as the splash-proof portion 30 is separated from the upper portion of the first pliers blade 11 and the second pliers blade 21, when the pliers 100 is stored, a messy and scattered feeling is generated, so a lock 50 for locking the first pliers blade 11 and the second pliers blade 21 is installed on the locking pin 62 behind the rotating shaft 60 of the second body 20. The lock 50 is composed of a lock head 51 and a lock hole 52. When the first pliers blade 11 and the second pliers blade 21 are locked, if the locking shoulder 15 of the first body 10 is supported (held up) by the lock head 51 to stop the rotation of the first body 10 and the second body 20, the first handle 13 and the second handle 23 will not be unfolded with the first pliers blade 11 and the second pliers blade 21. When the first and second jaw blades 11 , 21 are to be used, the locking head 51 only needs to be pushed from the locking shoulder 15 .

[0037] As described above, the pliers 100 of the present invention include structural elements such as the first body 10 and the second body 20 , wherein not only the anti-splash portion 30 is combined, but also an additional lock buckle is present.

[0038] If we combine the above structural elements into one and describe their interactions in detail, then Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, in the anti-splash pliers 100 for nail care of the present invention, the first body 10 and the second body 20 are cross-assembled with each other around the rotating shaft 60, and an elastic spring is provided to allow the two bodies 10 and 20 to be continuously expanded around the rotating shaft 60. In the base plate frame of such pliers 100, the anti-splash portion 30 is movably combined with the shaft pin 61 of the second body 20, and the protrusion 14 of the first body is movably combined to be inserted into the protrusion placement portion 34 of the anti-splash portion 30 provided on the second body, thereby starting to perform the functions of the present invention.

[0039] On the other hand, Figure 6 As shown, the protrusion 14 can be formed in a square or trapezoidal shape extending around the hinge surface of the upper part of the rotation axis of the first body 10 to protrude a specified distance and increase the rotation of the above-mentioned splash-proof part through the connecting part 14a. This structure has the advantage of being able to greatly rotate the splash-proof part 30 even when the opening angle of the first pliers blade 11 and the second pliers blade 21 is relatively small. Figure 7 As shown, in this case, preferably, both sides of the entrance of the protrusion placement portion 34 expand outward as the connection portion 14a rotates.

[0040] Furthermore, the protrusion 14 and the protrusion placement portion 34 may be interchanged in position, that is, the protrusion placement portion is formed on the first body 10 , and the protrusion is formed on the splash prevention portion 30 .

[0041] Figure 5The process of using the pliers 100 and its functions are shown in sequence. In part (A), in the locked state of the lock buckle 50 before using the pliers 100, the two pliers, i.e., the first pliers 11 and the second pliers 21, are in a closed state, and the barrier sheet 31 of the anti-splash portion 30 covers the upper part of the first pliers 11 and the second pliers 21. In part (B), when the lock buckle head 51 is pushed to the left to release the locked state in order to use the pliers 100 and the first pliers 11 and the second pliers 21 are unfolded through the built-in elastic body, the first body 10, the second body 20, and the anti-splash portion 30 act relative to each other, and the barrier sheet 31 of the anti-splash portion 30 is separated from the top of the first pliers 11 and the second pliers 21 to the outside and cannot cover the first pliers 11 and the second pliers 21. At the moment of unlocking, the protrusion 14 of the first body 10 rotates to the left around the rotating shaft 60 (assuming that the second body 20 is fixed). Since the anti-splash portion 30 is in a restricted state due to the engagement between the protrusion placement portion 34 and the protrusion 14, as the protrusion placement portion 34 is pushed to the left around the axle pin 61, the barrier plate 31 rotates to the right around the axle pin. The barrier plate 31 is completely detached from the pliers blades 11 and 21 and cannot block the field of view. Therefore, it will be in a ready state for trimming toenails and fingernails. In part (C), when a toenail or a fingernail is inserted between the first pliers blade 11 and the second pliers blade 21, if the first handle 13 and the second handle 23 are closed by applying force, the protrusion 14 of the first body 10 rotates to the right about the rotating axis 60 (assuming that the second body 20 is fixed). Since the anti-splash portion 30 is restricted by the engagement between the protrusion placement portion 34 and the protrusion 14, the barrier plate 31 rotates to the left about the axle pin 61 as the rotating protrusion placement portion 34 is pushed to the right about the axle pin 61, and the toenail is cut while the barrier plate 31 moves to between the first pliers blade 11 and the second pliers blade 21, so that the cut toenail and fingernail fragments hit the barrier plate 31 and are located between the first pliers blade 11 and the second pliers blade 21 or fall directly. As required, the steps of parts (A) to (C) can be repeated to trim toenails and fingernails, and then the lock head 51 can be pushed into the locking shoulder 15 and stored as shown in part (A).
