TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the nail tool technical field, more specifically, especially relate to a nail clippers with locking device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Nail clippers are also called nail scissors or nail clippers, which are personal care products mainly used for trimming nails and toenails. The operation utilizes the principle of leverage. Most nail clippers are made of metal. Users only need to press the end of the clippers to easily cut the nails through the sharp front end.

[0003] There are many styles of nail clippers now. Some are large and have nail files attached. Some are small and light, which can be used as a lock key. Some have a locking device to maintain the closed state of the clippers.

[0004] For example, the Chinese utility model patent with the patent number 202220027601.1 and the invention name of a new type of lock type nail clippers includes a lower clamp body. A fixed cutting edge is provided on the left end of the lower clamp body. A movable cutting edge is installed between the front and rear side walls of the lower clamp body corresponding to the fixed cutting edge through a first pivot. A mouth opening spring is provided on the first pivot, and the upper and lower sides of the mouth opening spring are in contact with the lower inner wall of the lower clamp body and the upper inner wall of the movable cutting edge. An upper clamp body is installed on the front and rear inner walls of the lower clamp body near the movable cutting edge through a connecting mechanism. An extension plate is provided on the left end of the upper clamp body, and the extension plate is inserted into the lower inner wall of the movable cutting edge. An installation hole is formed in the lower wall of the lower clamp body near the right side.
