Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of personal care tools, and in particular to a nail clipper. Background Technology

[0002] As a personal care tool, nail clippers are designed with a splash-proof feature to solve the cleaning problems caused by flying clippings during the trimming process.

[0003] Currently, anti-splash solutions for nail clippers, which involve adding plastic / metal baffles to the sides or bottom of the blade, can partially limit the direction of debris splashing, but this leads to multiple user experience and functional defects.

[0004] Existing clipper designs sacrifice visibility for clipping control, making them highly obstructive and hindering users from observing the progress of nail trimming, especially when dealing with curved nail edges or fine trimming. This can easily lead to accidental cuts or uneven edges. Small clippings tend to get stuck in the clipping tray, requiring tools for removal and reducing ease of use. Frequent clipping removal also necessitates moving the clipper, which can cause jamming, clipper detachment, and wear on the clippers. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a nail clipper that avoids obstructing the view, ensures the safety and neatness of trimming, and prevents small debris from getting stuck in the storage slot. It eliminates the need for cleaning tools and frequent movement of the baffle, improving the ease of operation while avoiding problems such as jamming, falling off, and wear.

[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A nail clipper, comprising:

[0008] Two clamping plates, one end of the two clamping plates is connected to each other, and the other end of the two clamping plates is respectively provided with a blade. One of the clamping plates extends towards the other clamping plate at both ends along the width direction to form a baffle, and there is a gap between the baffle and the other clamping plate.

[0009] A lever is used to press one of the clamps to bring the two blades closer together and cut the nail; as the two blades approach each other, the movement of the two blades can be observed through the gap.

[0010] As an alternative to nail clippers, the lever has a first state and a second state. When the lever is in the first state, a movable space is formed between the end of the lever away from the blade and the clamping plate, so that the two blades are brought closer by squeezing the lever. When the lever is in the second state, the end of the lever away from the blade abuts against the clamping plate.

[0011] As an alternative to nail clippers, when the lever is in the first state, the end of the lever away from the blade is warped away from the direction of the clamp.

[0012] As an alternative to nail clippers, at least a portion of the lever element has anti-slip textures on its surface.

[0013] As an alternative to nail clippers, one end of the lever is provided with a first groove for placing the finger to apply force.

[0014] As an alternative to nail clippers, the inner wall of the first groove is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0015] As an alternative to nail clippers, the clamp has a curved structure, and the lever is formed to conform to the curved shape of the clamp.

[0016] As an alternative to nail clippers, the baffle and one of the clamps are integrally formed.

[0017] As an alternative to nail clippers, both blades are curved.

[0018] As an alternative to nail clippers, a second groove for placing a supporting finger is provided on the bottom surface of the clamp plate away from the lever.

[0019] Beneficial effects:

[0020] In this invention, a baffle is positioned on the side of one of the clamps, effectively blocking flying nail clippings and preventing them from scattering. A gap exists between the baffle and the other clamp, allowing the user to observe the two blades and their movement while using the nail clippers. This prevents obstruction of vision, ensuring safety and neatness during trimming, and also prevents small clippings from spilling out without the need for cleaning tools. In this application, the baffle can be moved to clean up clippings, improving ease of operation; furthermore, it avoids the problems of jamming, detachment, and wear caused by frequent baffle movement in existing technologies.

[0026] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

[0027] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0028] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0029] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, 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. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0030] Please see the appendix Figure 1This embodiment relates to a nail clipper, which includes two clamping plates 1 and a lever 2. One end of the two clamping plates 1 is connected to each other, and the other end of each clamping plate 1 is provided with a blade 11. One clamping plate 1 extends towards the other clamping plate 1 at both ends along its width to form a baffle 12, with a gap between the baffle 12 and the other clamping plate 1. The lever 2 is used to press one of the clamping plates 1, causing the two blades 11 to approach each other and cut the nail. During the process of the two blades 11 approaching each other, the two blades 11 and their movement state can be observed through the gap.

[0031] Specifically, both clamping plates 1 and the lever component 2 are metal plates. One end of the two clamping plates 1 can be connected by spot welding or riveting fasteners to form a "V" shape. The clamping plates 1 are elastic to ensure that one of them can undergo elastic deformation when pressed down. The two clamping plates 1 can use the same structure to reduce processing costs. Of course, different structural styles can also be designed according to customer needs to ensure personalization.

[0032] In this embodiment, the baffle 12 can be integrally molded and installed on the side of one of the clamping plates 1, thereby blocking the flying nail clippings to a certain extent and preventing them from flying around. Simultaneously, in this embodiment, there is a gap between the baffle 12 and the other clamping plate 1, ensuring that the user can observe the two blades 11 and their movement through the gap when using the nail clippers. This avoids obstructing the view, ensuring the safety and neatness of the trimming, and also prevents small clippings from spilling out through the gap, eliminating the need for cleaning tools. In this embodiment, the baffle 12 can empty clippings without moving, improving the ease of operation; furthermore, it avoids the problems of jamming, detachment, and wear caused by frequent movement of the baffle 12 in the prior art.

[0033] It should be noted that during the operation of the nail clippers, the two clamps 1 are relatively close to each other, and the gap will gradually decrease. Therefore, the field of view that the user can observe will also decrease. In this embodiment, it is necessary to ensure that the blades 11 of the two clamps 1 can still be visualized as the ends of the blades 11 gradually approach each other. Therefore, the blocking function of the baffle 12 will be sacrificed. Usually, the baffle 12 is in a partially enclosed or semi-enclosed state.

[0034] Optionally, the two blades 11 are curved.

[0035] In this embodiment, the curved edge design of the blade 11 conforms to the natural curvature, resulting in more even force during cutting. The curved design also allows for more precise control of the cutting direction, causing the cut nail clippings to move inward (rather than outward) along the curvature of the blade 11, thereby reducing the probability of splattering.

[0036] Optionally, the lever 2 has a first state and a second state. When the lever 2 is in the first state, a movable space is formed between the end of the lever 2 away from the blade 11 and the clamping plate 1, so that the two blades 11 are brought closer by squeezing the lever 2. When the lever 2 is in the second state, the end of the lever 2 away from the blade 11 abuts against the clamping plate 1.

[0037] In this embodiment, a connecting pin 3 is provided on one end of the clamping plate 1 near the blade 11. The connecting pin 3 is connected to the lever 2. When the lever 2 is in the second state, the entire nail clipper is not working. Therefore, the end of the lever 2 away from the blade 11 abuts against the clamping plate 1. After the lever 2 is flipped, a movable space is formed between the end of the lever 2 away from the blade 11 and the clamping plate 1. The lever 2 switches to the first state, and the user can use the nail clipper.

[0038] Furthermore, when the lever 2 is in the first state, the end of the lever 2 away from the blade 11 is in a warped state away from the direction of the clamping plate 1.

[0039] Specifically, the end of the lever 2 away from the blade 11 is slightly curved, which is not only aesthetically pleasing but also improves the comfort of the user's thumb pressing on the curved part.

[0040] Optionally, at least a portion of the surface of the lever 2 is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0041] Specifically, the curved part of the lever 2 that is pressed by the thumb is engraved with anti-slip texture to prevent slippage during cutting and avoid sudden excessive force caused by hand slippage, thereby reducing the phenomenon of nails flying off due to uneven force.

[0042] Optionally, one end of the lever 2 is provided with a first groove for placing a finger to apply force.

[0043] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the first groove is provided with anti-slip texture; the size of the first groove should be able to substantially cover the finger applying force, exemplarily the thumb. When the user uses it, the thumb presses directly into the first groove, ensuring comfortable thumb pressure and improving the user experience.

[0044] Optionally, a second groove for placing fingers for support is provided on the bottom surface of the clamp 1 away from the lever 2.

[0045] In this embodiment, a second groove is further provided on the bottom surface of the clamp 1. The index finger is usually used for support. The second groove can ensure the comfort of the index finger used for support and improve the user experience.

[0046] Furthermore, the clamping plate 1 has a curved surface structure, and the lever 2 is formed to adapt to the curved surface shape of the clamping plate 1.

[0047] In this embodiment, by making the lever 2 form a curved shape that adapts to the clamping plate 1, the lever 2 and the clamping plate 1 can be completely fitted in the second state, ensuring that the entire nail clipper has a compact structure.

[0048] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
