Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nail clipper technology, and more specifically, to a foldable nail clipper. Background Technology

[0002] Nail clippers and nail scissors, while both nail trimming tools, differ in design and purpose. Nail clippers, with their unique curved design, can easily cut nails, making them especially suitable for daily trimming and shaping. Nail scissors, similar to regular scissors, feature curved blades that allow for more precise trimming of nail edges or removal of cuticles. However, traditional nail scissors, with their exposed blades, are prone to scratching and damaging other objects during transport, and also pose certain safety hazards.

[0003] Chinese patent CN202321368762.8 discloses a folding travel scissors, including a blade, a plastic handle, and a hinge structure. The hinge structure includes a pivot and a spring. The rear end of the blade has a pivot portion, and the side of the pivot portion has a first limiting surface and a second limiting surface parallel to the pivot axis. The front end of the spring elastically presses against the side of the pivot portion. In the folded state, the front end of the spring presses against the first limiting surface; in the open state, the front end of the spring presses against the second limiting surface. This prior art maintains stability through the elastic resistance of the free end of the spring, thus ensuring that even after long-term use and wear of the hinge, the folding function of the scissors remains unaffected, extending their service life. While this solution allows folding to prevent the blade from being exposed, the plastic handle for gripping is relatively short when unfolded, making it inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the short handle of existing folding travel scissors and to propose a foldable nail clipper. When unfolded, the part of the nail clipper for the user to hold is extended, making it convenient for the user to use. When folded, it is compact and easy to carry, and the blade is not exposed, ensuring high safety.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this technical solution provides a foldable nail clipper, comprising a blade structure, a handle, and a sliding cover. One end of the blade structure is rotatably connected to the handle to allow the blade structure to unfold or fold. One side of the handle has a receiving groove for storing the blade structure when folded. The sliding cover is slidably mounted on one side of the handle and slides along the length of the handle.

[0006] In this technical solution, when the foldable nail clipper is unfolded, the blade structure rotates outward from the receiving slot, while the sliding cover slides out in a direction away from the blade structure. At this time, the sliding cover extends the handle length, making it easier for the user to grip and use. Simultaneously, the sliding cover increases the lever arm length, making nail trimming easier for the user. When the foldable nail clipper is folded, the blade structure rotates towards the handle and is stored in the receiving slot, preventing sharp edges and blades from being exposed and posing a safety hazard. The sliding cover slides back into the handle, resulting in a shorter length for easier storage and carrying. The sliding cover of the foldable nail clipper can also serve as a stress-relieving toy for users to play with, providing a stress-relieving and entertaining experience.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment, the blade structure includes two blades hinged together. Each blade includes a connected cutting edge and an extension. The two cutting edges are located on one side of the hinge point and cooperate to cut. The two extensions are located on the other side of the hinge point. At least one extension is rotatably connected to the handle, and the rotation axis of the extension is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the hinge point. After the two blades are hinged, a scissor structure is formed. When the two extensions are pressed inward, the two cutting edges move synchronously and perform a cutting action.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment, the handle includes two grip blocks, each of the extended portions being rotatably connected to one end of each grip block. The adjacent sides of the two grip blocks are respectively provided with grooves to form the receiving groove when the two grip blocks are joined together. When the foldable nail clipper is unfolded, the user can perform the trimming action by pressing the two grip blocks. Two sliding covers are provided, each of the sliding covers being slidably connected to each grip block. Each sliding cover can slide along the groove individually or together.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, each of the sliding covers is installed on one side of the corresponding groove of each of the grip blocks. This design allows the blade structure of the foldable nail clipper to be completely hidden when folded, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, each of the sliding covers is installed on the side of each of the grip blocks opposite to its groove. This design ensures that the sliding of the cover does not interfere with the movement of the blade structure, allowing the cover to move independently and improving the user experience.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, in order to realize the sliding function of the sliding cover, one side of the grip block is provided with a sliding tenon arranged along its length direction, and one side of the sliding cover is provided with a sliding groove adapted to the sliding tenon. This structure allows the sliding cover to slide in a straight line.

[0012] As a preferred solution, to enhance the user experience, several magnets with opposite magnetic properties are embedded on one side of the grip block and one side of the sliding cover. Each magnet is spaced apart along the length of the grip block and the sliding cover. By using the magnetic force between the magnets at different positions on the grip block and the sliding cover, the sliding length of the sliding cover can be adjusted to accommodate different user hand sizes. At the same time, the sliding cover can be played with by the user. When the user pushes the two sliding covers with their fingers, they can feel a certain resistance, and there is a clear tactile feedback and a crisp sound, providing the user with a stress-relieving and entertaining experience. The two sliding covers can be slid separately or together, offering multiple ways to play.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment, an elastic element is provided between the two extensions. One end of the elastic element is connected to one of the extensions, and the other end of the elastic element is connected to the other extension. When the foldable nail clipper is unfolded, the two extensions are opened under the tension of the elastic element, thereby opening the two blades for easy cutting by the user.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment, the surface of the sliding cover opposite to the handle is provided with anti-slip texture. By setting the anti-slip texture, it is not only easier for the user to slide the sliding cover, but also increases the tactile feel of the user's fingers and improves the user experience.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment, one side of the handle is provided with a frosted surface of 180 to 300 grit, which the user can then use to pull the nail back and forth a long distance on the nail to make the nail appear smoother.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] 1. The foldable nail clipper of this utility model can avoid the sharp parts of the blade structure and the blade blade being exposed and thus avoiding safety hazards when folded by rotating the blade structure into the receiving groove.

[0018] 2. This utility model features a sliding cover on the grip block, which makes it easier for users to hold. The unfolded sliding cover increases the lever arm length of the foldable nail clippers, making it easier for users to trim their nails.

[0019] 3. By embedding several magnets spaced apart along the length direction on one side of the grip block and the sliding cover, when the user pushes the sliding covers on both sides with their fingers, they can feel a certain resistance, and there is a clear tactile feedback and a crisp sound, bringing the user a stress-relieving and entertaining experience.

[0020] 4. A frosted surface is provided on one side of the handle for users to buff their nails and cuticles. Attached Figure Description

Therefore, the terms used to describe positional relationships in the drawings are only for illustrative purposes and should not be construed as limiting this patent. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0028] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0029] Example 1:

[0030] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a foldable nail clipper, including a blade structure 1 and a handle 2. One end of the blade structure 1 is rotatably connected to the handle 2 to allow the blade structure 1 to unfold or fold. One side of the handle 2 has a receiving groove 21 for storing the blade structure 1 when folded.

[0031] In this embodiment, the handle 2 has rounded corners, which conforms to ergonomic design and makes the nail clippers suitable for users to handle when folded.

[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the blade structure 1 includes two blades 11, which are hinged together. Each blade 11 includes a connected cutting edge 111 and an extension 112. The two cutting edges 111 are located on one side of the hinge point of the two blades 11, and the two cutting edges 111 cooperate to cut. The two extensions 112 are located on the other side of the hinge point of the two blades 11. At least one extension 112 is rotatably connected to the handle, and the rotation axis of the extension 112 is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the hinge point of the blade 11.

[0033] In this embodiment, the blade body 11 is made of metal, preferably stainless steel. The two blade bodies 11 are hinged at one-third of their length. This blade structure 1 is similar to the structure of scissors and is used to trim fingernails and dead skin on fingers and toes. The two blades 111 cooperate to achieve cutting, making nail trimming more convenient and precise.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 4, the handle 2 includes two grip blocks 22, and each extension 112 is rotatably connected to one end of each grip block 22. The adjacent sides of the two grip blocks 22 are respectively provided with grooves to form the receiving groove 21 when the two grip blocks 22 are spliced ​​together.

[0035] In this embodiment, the two grip blocks 22 are made of metal, preferably stainless steel, which is heavier than plastic, provides a better grip, and is more durable. The extensions 112 of the two blades 11 are rotatably connected to the two grip blocks 22. When the nail clipper is in a folded state, the blade structure 1 is placed in the receiving groove 21. At this time, the movement of the two grip blocks 22 and the two blades 11 interferes, thereby restricting the movement of the two grip blocks 22 and the two blades 11.

[0036] Specifically, an elastic element 113 is provided between the two extensions 112, one end of the elastic element 113 is connected to one of the extensions 112, and the other end of the elastic element 113 is connected to the other extension 112.

[0037] In this embodiment, the elastic element 113 is a spring. When the nail clipper of this utility model is in the unfolded state, under the action of the spring tension, the two extensions 112 drive the two grip blocks 22 to open to both sides respectively. At the same time, after each cut, the two blades 111 will automatically open to both sides, making it convenient for the user to use.

[0038] Specifically, one side of the handle 2 is provided with a frosted surface of 180 to 300 grit, which is not shown in the figure.

[0039] In this embodiment, by setting a frosted surface, the trimmed nails can be polished more finely, making the cut area smoother. The frosted surface can also be used to polish the cuticle.

[0040] Example 2:

[0041] This embodiment is similar to Embodiment 1, except that, in this embodiment, as shown... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, it also includes a sliding cover 3, which is slidably mounted on one side of the handle 2 and slides along the length of the handle 2.

[0042] In this embodiment, the sliding cover 3 not only increases the length of the shearing lever arm but also allows the user to play with it during leisure time. The sliding cover 3 is made of metal, preferably stainless steel.

[0043] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, there are two sliding covers 3, and each sliding cover 3 is slidably connected to each of the grip blocks 22.

[0044] In this embodiment, the two sliding covers 3 are symmetrical from left to right, and the two sliding covers 3 are respectively adapted to the structure of the two gripping blocks 22. Each sliding cover 3 can just cover one side surface of the gripping block 22.

[0045] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, each of the sliding covers 3 is respectively installed on the side of each of the grip blocks 22 opposite to its groove.

[0046] In this embodiment, each sliding cover 3 can slide freely in both the folded and unfolded states of this utility model without interfering with the blade structure 1 and the handle 2, thus increasing the user's flexibility in handling the device.

[0047] Specifically, one side of the grip block 22 is provided with a sliding tenon 23 arranged along its length, and one side of the sliding cover 3 is provided with a sliding groove 31 adapted to the sliding tenon 23.

[0048] In this embodiment, the sliding cover 3 can slide in a straight line by the cooperation of the sliding tenon 23 and the sliding groove 31.

[0049] Specifically, the sliding cover 3 has anti-slip texture 32 on the side surface opposite to the grip block 22.

[0050] In this embodiment, the anti-slip texture 32 consists of multiple annular ribs arranged radially along the surface of the sliding cover 3. This design can increase the user's grip and improve the user experience.

[0051] Example 3:

[0052] This embodiment is similar to Embodiment 2, except that in this embodiment, each of the sliding covers 3 is installed on one side of the corresponding groove of each of the gripping blocks 22, which is not shown in the figure.

[0053] In this embodiment, the sliding cover 3 can slide to cover the receiving groove 21. When the blade structure 1 is in the unfolded state, after the sliding cover 3 covers the receiving groove 21, the front end of the sliding cover 3 presses against one side of the extension 112, thereby restricting the rotation of the extension 112 and the grip block 22. When the blade structure 1 is in the folded state, after the sliding cover 3 covers the receiving groove 21, the blade structure 1 is completely hidden, increasing the overall aesthetics.

[0054] Example 4:

[0055] This embodiment is similar to embodiments 2 and 3, except that, in this embodiment, as... Figure 1 , 2 As shown, a plurality of magnets 4 with different magnetic properties are embedded on one side of the gripping block 22 and one side of the sliding cover 3, and each magnet 4 is arranged at intervals along the length direction of the gripping block 22 and the sliding cover 3.

[0056] In this embodiment, the magnetic attraction of the magnet 4 between the gripping block 22 and the sliding cover 3 can prevent the sliding cover 3 from coming off the gripping block 22. When the user pushes the two sliding covers 3 with their fingers, they can feel a certain resistance, and there is a clear sense of tactile feedback and a crisp sound, which brings the user a stress-relieving and entertaining experience.
