Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of personal care appliances, specifically a novel nail clipper. Background Technology

[0002] Nail clippers are a common household item used for trimming nails. Traditional nail clippers typically consist of two arms that are hinged together by a pin, with interlocking cutting blades at the front ends of the arms. To use them, the user presses down on the tail of the arms, causing the blades to close and cut the nails.

[0003] However, this traditional structure has some inherent drawbacks. First, because the blade is exposed and lacks effective physical protection, the sharp edge of the blade can easily injure the skin (flesh) next to the nail during use, especially when trimming nails for children or the elderly, or in poor lighting conditions, leading to pain and the risk of infection.

[0004] Secondly, most traditional nail clippers lack an automatic spring-loaded mechanism. After each cutting motion, the user needs to manually release the clipper arms to separate the blades, making operation inconvenient and less smooth. While some products incorporate a separate spring mechanism for spring-loaded operation, this increases the number of parts and assembly complexity, potentially leading to higher costs and reduced reliability.

[0005] In addition, some nail clippers with protective devices often have a height difference or flatness difference between the protective plate and the working surface of the cutting blade, resulting in unsatisfactory protective effect, or affecting normal cutting action and vision due to unreasonable structure. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel nail clipper that significantly improves safety by incorporating a side guard with a specific gap, effectively preventing the risk of pinching injuries. Simultaneously, its unique elastic metal connection design ensures the nail clipper automatically springs open, making operation more convenient. The overall structural design is reasonable, combining both safety and convenience.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a novel nail clipper, comprising a first arm clipper and a second arm clipper, wherein the first arm clipper and the second arm clipper are connected at their connection point by an elastic metal; the first arm clipper has a first blade at its front end, the second arm clipper has a second blade at its front end, the first arm clipper has baffles formed by bending its sides directly outward on both sides, and the second arm clipper has baffles formed by bending its sides directly outward on both sides.

[0008] Furthermore, when the first blade and the second blade are in a closed state without external force, a gap is formed between the first baffle and the second baffle, and the width of the gap is 0.5 mm greater than the thickness of the closed first blade and the second blade.

[0009] Furthermore, the gap remains consistent on both the inner and outer sides of baffle one and baffle two.

[0010] Furthermore, the angle between the first baffle and the side of the first arm clamp is greater than 90 degrees, and the angle between the second baffle and the side of the second arm clamp is greater than 90 degrees.

[0011] Furthermore, the height of the first baffle and the second baffle is configured such that the front portion near the first blade and the second blade is slightly higher, and the rear portion near the root of the arm clamp is slightly lower, so that the first baffle and the second baffle maintain the 0.5 mm gap as a whole in the closed state without external force.

[0012] Furthermore, the elastic metal is a curved metal strip, the two ends of which are respectively riveted or fixed to the close-to-each root positions of the first and second arm clamps.

[0013] Furthermore, the degree of bending of the elastic metal is configured to provide sufficient rebound force when the first and second clamps are opened, ensuring that the first and second blades automatically separate without external force.

[0014] Furthermore, the contours of the first and second baffles are configured to accommodate nail clippers of different sizes, and the space formed by their bending can effectively accommodate and block nail clippings flying out from the blades when the first and second blades are closed.

[0015] This utility model provides a novel nail clipper with the following beneficial effects: 1. Effectively prevents nail clippings from flying everywhere, improving hygiene and cleanliness. Thanks to the design of the first and second baffles, when the first and second blades are cutting nails, the baffles form a surrounding structure on both sides of the blades, and the inner side of the baffles is coplanar with the cutting edge of the blades. This effectively blocks and collects the cut nail clippings, preventing them from scattering everywhere, thus keeping the process clean, reducing cleaning burden, and improving hygiene.

[0016] Automatic rebound function improves operational convenience and efficiency. The flexible metal design provides continuous rebound force to both the first and second pliers. When the user applies external force to close the blades, releasing the force allows the flexible metal's bending structure to automatically separate the first and second blades, eliminating the need for manual opening of the pliers. This simplifies the operation, making nail clipper use more effortless and faster, especially suitable for continuous trimming or one-handed operation.

[0017] Precisely control the cutting depth to avoid damaging the nails and skin. When blade one and blade two are fully closed, the 0.5 mm gap between baffle one and baffle two, combined with the design that the baffle height is equal to the blade cutting height, limits the degree of blade closure. This ensures that the cut does not penetrate too deeply, preventing damage to the soft tissue or skin under the nail, improving the safety and comfort of trimming, and making it especially suitable for the elderly and children.

When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses consistent with some aspects of this disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0022] Example 1 This embodiment describes a specific implementation of a novel nail clipper, the core of which lies in the optimized design of the baffle structure to effectively block nail clippings and ensure smooth cutting. As described in claims 1, 2, and 5, the nail clipper includes a first arm clamp 1 and a second arm clamp 2, which are hinged at the connection point by an elastic metal 3. Both the first arm clamp 1 and the second arm clamp 2 are stamped from stainless steel, with their sides bent outwards to form a first baffle 6 and a second baffle 7. This one-piece baffle structure avoids additional assembly and improves overall strength and durability. Without external force, the first blade 4 and the second blade 5 remain closed under the elastic force of the elastic metal 3. At this time, a uniform gap is formed between the first baffle 6 and the second baffle 7. The width of this gap is precisely controlled to be 0.5 mm larger than the thickness of the closed blades; for example, when the blade thickness is 1.5 mm, the gap is 2.0 mm. This design ensures that the blades do not interfere with the baffles during cutting, while the gap is small enough to prevent clippings from flying out. Furthermore, the baffle height is specially configured: the baffle is slightly higher near the front end of the blade to enhance the shielding effect; the baffle is slightly lower near the rear end of the pliers, allowing the baffle to naturally form an inclined surface when closed, maintaining a uniform gap of 0.5 mm throughout. In actual use, the user presses the pliers handle, the blade closes to cut the nail, and the debris is confined within the space formed by the baffle, preventing it from scattering, thus improving hygiene and user experience. In this embodiment, the baffle angle is greater than 90 degrees, further expanding the accommodating space and making it suitable for nail clippers of different sizes.

[0023] Example 2 This embodiment focuses on the elastic rebound mechanism and the consistent design of the baffle gap of the novel nail clipper, as described in claims 1, 3, 6, and 7. In this embodiment, the elastic metal 3 is made of high-carbon steel strip, bent into a U-shape, and its two ends are fixed to the root positions of the first arm clamp 1 and the second arm clamp 2 by rivets. This connection method is simple and reliable. The pre-bending degree of the elastic metal 3 is calculated. When the user applies external force to press the arm clamp, the elastic metal 3 deforms and stores energy; once the external force is released, its rebound force ensures that the first blade 4 and the second blade 5 automatically separate, avoiding blade sticking and improving cutting efficiency. At the same time, the first baffle 6 and the second baffle 7 are directly bent from the side of the arm clamp at a bending angle of 95 degrees, so that the baffles maintain a consistent gap on both the inner and outer sides. Specifically, when the blades are closed, the gap between the baffles is 0.5 mm along the entire length direction. This is achieved by precision die stamping, ensuring the uniformity of the gap. This consistent design not only prevents debris from leaking from the side but also makes the blade movement smoother and reduces wear. In practical applications, the baffle has an arc-shaped profile to accommodate the shape of round nails. When cutting nails of different sizes, the space created by the baffle can effectively hold the debris. This embodiment also emphasizes that the elasticity of the elastic metal 3 is adjustable. By changing the thickness or bending radius of the metal strip, it can adapt to the grip strength needs of different users, making the nail clippers more personalized. The overall structure is lightweight, low-cost, and suitable for mass production.

[0024] Example 3 This embodiment provides a detailed implementation of a novel nail clipper, focusing on the angle design of the baffles and overall adaptability, as described in claims 1, 4, and 8. In this embodiment, the first arm clamp 1 and the second arm clamp 2 are made of aluminum alloy, which is lightweight and corrosion-resistant. The first baffle 6 and the second baffle 7 are formed directly from the side of the arm clamp through a stamping process, with the bending angle set at 100 degrees. The design of more than 90 degrees allows the baffles to unfold outward, forming a more spacious accommodating space for collecting nail clippings. The first blade 4 and the second blade 5 are made of high-strength steel. When closed, the gap between the baffles is maintained by a height variation: the front baffle is 3.5 mm high, and the rear baffle is 2.5 mm high. This gradual height ensures that the overall gap remains at 0.5 mm under no external force, avoiding local interference. The elastic metal 3 is a curved spring steel strip, with its fixing point located at the root of the arm clamp, providing a stable rebound force so that the blades automatically open after cutting. The baffle is ergonomically designed with a smooth curve to accommodate different nail sizes from thumb to little finger. When the blades are closed, the enclosed space created by the baffle almost completely covers the blade area, effectively preventing debris from flying out and improving cleanliness. This embodiment also considers usage scenarios, such as when traveling or in public places, where this nail clipper reduces cleaning hassles due to its excellent debris control. Furthermore, the baffle's bending structure enhances the rigidity of the clippers, preventing deformation and extending their lifespan. The overall design is simple and easy to operate, making it particularly suitable for the elderly and children.
