Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical device technology, specifically relating to a nail clipper for treating ingrown toenail paronychia. Background Technology

[0002] Ingrown toenail is a common toenail problem, mainly caused by the edge of the toenail growing into the surrounding soft tissue, resulting in an inflammatory reaction. This condition usually occurs on the big toe. Initially, there may be no discomfort, but as the lateral edge of the toenail plate penetrates deeper into the soft tissue, it can cause secondary infection, leading to symptoms of paronychia such as redness, swelling, and persistent pain.

[0003] The key to treating ingrown toenail paronychia lies in repairing the nail bed and correcting the normal growth direction of the toenail. Common treatment methods include using cotton stuffing, applying iodine or benzalkonium chloride solution as a wet compress, and using appropriate antibiotics.

[0004] However, some patients with mild paronychia have found that trimming a V-shaped notch in the middle of the nail while cutting it helps the nail grow inwards and prevent it from pressing against the flesh, which can effectively relieve or even treat paronychia.

[0005] The principle behind cutting a V-shaped notch in the middle of the nail to treat paronychia is primarily to alter the nail's growth direction, reducing irritation and pressure on the surrounding skin from the nail edge. Specifically, the V-shaped notch trimming method involves trimming the middle edge of the nail into a small "V" shape, making the nail edge rounded. This reduces the likelihood of the nail edge penetrating the skin, thus reducing or preventing paronychia. Furthermore, the V-shaped notch trimming method can change the direction of force on the nail, causing the ingrown part of the nail to exert force outwards, helping the ingrown nail to grow out gradually.

[0006] However, trimming nails into a V-shaped notch requires certain skills, and improper operation can even lead to nail breakage, especially for elderly people with limited dexterity. Therefore, there is a need for nail clippers that can assist patients with paronychia in trimming their nails into a V-shaped notch, and which can also trim nail supports normally; in addition, to address the needs of some elderly people, the nail clippers should be equipped with a magnifying glass for easier use.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model; obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] This utility model discloses a nail clipper for treating ingrown toenail paronychia, comprising: a blade assembly 1, a housing 2, a central shaft 3, a pressure shaft 4, a handle 5, and a magnifying lens assembly 6. The central shaft 3 is rotatably mounted in the middle of the housing 2, the pressure shaft 4 is rotatably mounted on the top of the central shaft 3, and the handle 5 is rotatably connected to the pressure shaft 4. The blade assembly 1 is rotatably connected to the central shaft 3, and the magnifying lens assembly 6 is rotatably connected to the top of the housing 2. In use, the user unfolds the nail clipper handle 5 and presses it down. Using the pressure shaft 5 as a base point, the handle 5 presses down on the upper part of the housing 2. The pressed-down front end of the upper part of the housing 2 presses down on the blade, allowing the blade to cut the nail. If the blade needs to be changed, the blade assembly 1 can be rotated to select the desired blade for cutting the nail.

[0029] Example 2

[0030] In this embodiment, the blade assembly 1 is the core part of the device, consisting of three main components: a V-shaped blade 101, a standard blade 102, and a blade connector 103. The V-shaped blade 101 has a U-shaped structure, allowing it to closely conform to the shape of the nail. The V-shaped blade 108 fixed at the front end precisely trims a V-shaped notch, effectively solving the problem of ingrown nails. A first connecting port 104 is fixed at the end of the V-shaped blade 101 for connection to the blade connector 103. Corresponding to the V-shaped blade 101 is the standard blade 102, which also adopts a U-shaped structure design. A flat blade 109 is fixed at the front end, suitable for daily nail trimming. A second connecting port 105 is provided at the end of the standard blade 102, allowing it to connect to the blade connector 103 and enabling quick switching between the two blade types.

[0031] One end of the blade connector 103 is fixedly connected to the second connection port 105 of the ordinary blade 102, and the other end is fixedly connected to the first connection port 104 of the V-shaped blade 101. This design allows the user to easily rotate the blade and switch to the desired blade for trimming. A pivot hole is designed in the middle of the blade connector 103, allowing it to be rotatably connected to the central shaft 3, thus achieving flexible rotation and stable fixation of the blade.

[0032] Example 3

[0033] In this embodiment, the magnifying glass assembly 6 consists of three main parts: a magnifying glass 601, a pivot seat 602, and a pin 603, which work together to provide a stable magnification effect. The magnifying glass 601 has a built-in transparent convex lens. This lens design can magnify the details of the nail, allowing the user to see more clearly when trimming the nails. This function is especially important when performing delicate operations, such as trimming V-shaped notches or treating paronychia-related problems.

[0034] The connection between the magnifying glass 601 and the pivot 602 is achieved through a pin 603. This design allows the magnifying glass 601 to rotate freely around the pivot 602, and the user can adjust the angle of the magnifying glass 601 according to their own viewing angle and comfort. This flexibility ensures that different users can find a suitable viewing angle, whether left-handed or right-handed, and it is also easy to use and store.

[0035] Example 4

[0036] In this embodiment, the stability and accuracy of the V-shaped blade 101 and the ordinary blade 102 are achieved through a limiting structure. A first limiting groove 106 is fixedly provided in the middle of the main body of the V-shaped blade 101, while a second limiting groove 107 is fixedly provided in the middle of the main body of the ordinary blade 102. A limiting post 201 is fixedly provided inside the outer casing 2, cooperating with the limiting groove in the blade assembly 1. When the blade assembly 1 rotates to a specific position, the limiting post 201 matches the corresponding limiting groove, forming a stable locking mechanism. This design ensures the stability of the blades during trimming, prevents accidental movement of the blades when not in use, and improves the overall safety of the nail clippers.

[0037] The combination of the limit post 201 and the limit groove provides users with intuitive and reliable feedback, letting them know that the blade has rotated into position and trimming can begin. This design reduces uncertainty during operation, allowing even first-time users to quickly get started, easily switch blades, and perform precise trimming.

[0038] Example 5

[0039] In this embodiment, the rectangular cutout 202 at the end of the outer shell 2 not only enhances the aesthetic appearance of the nail clippers but also provides practical functionality. The cutout design makes the nail clippers appear lighter, breaking away from the traditional monotonous design of nail clippers and adding a touch of modernity and design.

[0040] In terms of practicality, the rectangular cutout 202 part can be used as a hanging hole, allowing users to hang the nail clippers on keychains or other pendants when not in use, making them easy to carry and store, while also reducing the risk of loss.

[0041] The rectangular cutout design 202 also takes ergonomics into account, ensuring that the cutouts do not affect the user's grip or operational stability during use. The size and placement of the cutouts are carefully designed to ensure that the strength of the outer shell 2 is not weakened during use, while maintaining the durability and reliability of the nail clippers.

[0042] Example 6

[0043] In this embodiment, a nail file 501 is fixedly provided on one side of the handle 5. This not only makes the trimmed nails smoother, but also saves the user the trouble of having to find a nail file after trimming. The nail file 501 is designed with the user's need to file their nails immediately after trimming in mind, making the entire trimming and filing process smoother and more convenient.

[0044] The other end of the handle 5 is fixedly equipped with anti-slip stripes 502. This design detail greatly improves the user's grip and operational stability when using nail clippers. The anti-slip stripes 502 increase the friction between the handle 5 and the user's fingers, ensuring a firm grip even with wet or slippery hands, reducing accidents caused by slipping.

[0045] The preferred embodiments of the present invention disclosed above are only used to help illustrate the present invention. The preferred embodiments do not describe all the details in detail, nor do they limit the present invention to the specific implementation methods described.
