Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nail trimming, and specifically to a toenail trimming and fixing device. Background Technology

[0002] Foot care is crucial for diabetic patients, including foot examination, keeping feet clean and dry, proper toenail trimming, wearing suitable shoes and socks, and protecting the feet. Toenails require special attention. Some patients, due to age, hearing impairment, or coordination issues, may be uncooperative or unconsciously move their toenails, posing a risk to healthcare professionals during trimming. Bleeding can lead to infection, and in severe cases, even diabetic foot.

[0003] Therefore, in order to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, it is necessary to design a toenail trimmer fixator with a simple structure. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides a toenail trimmer and fixator to address the problems of existing technologies.

[0005] The purpose of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: A toenail trimmer includes: a base plate, a fixing rod, five sets of toe fixing components and an instep fixing strap. The fixing rod is fixed to the left side of the base plate, and the right side of the base plate is provided with sleeve rods at intervals. The toe fixing components include a collar, a fixing screw, a telescopic strap and a pressure block. The collar is sleeved on the fixing rod and fixed by the fixing screw. The telescopic strap is fixed to the left side of the collar. The telescopic strap has through holes distributed at intervals. The right side of the telescopic strap has a sleeve hole. The top of the pressure block is inserted into the through hole. The lower end of the pressure block has a pressure groove. The sleeve hole is sleeved on the sleeve rod. The instep fixing strap is located in the lower middle part of the base plate. The left end of the instep fixing strap is fixedly connected to the base plate, and the right end of the instep fixing strap is connected to the right side of the base plate by a hook and loop fastener.

[0006] In a further improvement, the top of the pressure block is provided with a tapered T-shaped plug, which passes through a through hole.

[0007] A further improvement is that the sleeve rod has a T-shaped cross-section.

[0008] In a further improvement, the two ends of the fixing rod are connected to end blocks by threads, and the bottom plate is inserted into the inner side of the end blocks.

[0009] In a further improvement, the compression block is made of rubber material.

[0010] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this new toenail trimmer and retainer are as follows:

[0011] First, based on the patient's toe type and width, the position of the pressure block along its length is adjusted by changing the position of the collar on the fixing rod, and then secured with fixing bolts. Next, depending on the toe width, the pressure block is adjusted to different positions on the telescopic belt, inserting it into the designated through-hole and pressing it into the rear end of the corresponding toe. Then, the right side of the telescopic belt is fitted onto the sleeve rod through the fitting hole, thus securing the toe. This increases the convenience for medical staff in cutting the patient's toes, reduces bleeding, and is simple, efficient, and widely applicable, providing excellent fixation for different patients.

[0016] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0017] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0018] The following describes the embodiments and appendices. Figures 1-3 The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below.

[0019] Example 1: A toenail trimmer and fixator includes: a base plate 1, a fixing rod 2, five sets of toe fixing components 3, and an instep fixing strap 4. The fixing rod 2 is fixed to the left side of the base plate 1. The right side of the base plate 1 is provided with sleeve rods 11 at intervals. The toe fixing components 3 include a collar 31, a fixing screw 32, a telescopic strap 33, and a pressure block 34. The collar 31 is sleeved on the fixing rod 2 and fixed by the fixing screw 32. The telescopic strap 33 is fixed to the left side of the collar 31. The telescopic strap 33 has through holes 331 distributed at intervals. The right side of the telescopic strap 33 has a sleeve hole 332. The top of the pressure block 34 is inserted into the through hole 331. The lower end of the pressure block 34 has a pressure groove 341. The sleeve hole 332 is sleeved on the sleeve rod 11. The instep fixing strap 4 is located in the lower middle part of the base plate 1. The left end of the instep fixing strap 4 is fixedly connected to the base plate 1, and the right end of the instep fixing strap 4 is connected to the right side of the base plate 1 by a hook and loop fastener.

[0020] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the working principle of this utility model is as follows: Toes generally have three shapes, for example, the length decreases sequentially from the big toe to the last toe; in some cases, the second toe is the longest; in others, the lengths of the first three toes are similar, while the last two toes decrease in length. First, based on the patient's toe type and width, the position of the clamping block 34 is adjusted along its length by adjusting the position of the collar 31 on the fixing rod 2, and then fixed by the fixing bolt 32. Depending on the toe width, the clamping block 34 is adjusted to different positions on the telescopic belt 33, inserting it into the designated through hole 331, pressing the clamping block 34 into the rear end of the corresponding toe. Then, the right side of the telescopic belt 33 is fitted onto the sleeve rod 11 through the collar hole 332, thus fixing the toe. This increases the convenience for medical staff to trim the patient's toes, reduces bleeding, and the structure is simple and efficient to operate, with a wide range of applications and good fixation effects for different patients. Furthermore, the clamping block 34 has a certain height, placing the telescopic belt above the toenail, so the five telescopic belts do not interfere with toenail trimming.

[0021] As a further preferred embodiment, the top of the pressure block 34 is provided with a tapered T-shaped plug 342, which passes through the through hole 331 to enhance the connection stability between the pressure block and the telescopic belt.

[0022] As a further preferred embodiment, the sleeve rod 11 has a T-shaped cross-section, which can reduce the risk of the telescopic belt 33 slipping outward.

[0023] As a further preferred embodiment, the two ends of the fixing rod 2 are connected to end blocks 21 by threads, and the bottom plate 1 is inserted into the inner side of the end blocks 21. The design of the threaded connection and end blocks enhances the stability and ease of installation of the fixing rod, and ensures the reliability of the fixing device during use.

[0024] As a further preferred embodiment, the pressure block 34 is made of rubber material, which has good elasticity and softness, improving the patient's comfort. At the same time, the elasticity of the rubber material also helps to better fix the toes and reduce the feeling of pressure.

[0025] The preferred embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make numerous modifications and variations based on the concept of this utility model without creative effort. Therefore, all technical solutions that can be obtained by those skilled in the art based on the concept of this utility model through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experimentation on the basis of existing technology should be within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
