A nipper device that is useful in the care and grooming of nails of the hands and feet. The nipper device provides cutting blades where are sharper, more durable, and more hygienic. The handles of the device may be magnetized to provide magnetic therapy benefits to a user of the device.

A toenail clipping device for decreasing a reach required for trimming a toenail includes a clippers, which in turn comprises a clip lever that is operationally coupled to a pair of cutters. The cutters are mutually coupled to define a gap that is positioned at a first end of the clippers. A rod is coupled to and extends substantially perpendicularly from a second end of the clippers. The rod is configured to be grasped in a hand of a user, positioning the user to manipulate the clippers to insert a portion of a toenail into the gap. An actuator is coupled to the rod distal from the clippers and is operationally coupled to the clip lever. The actuator is configured to be actuated by a digit of the hand grasping the rod to lever the clip lever to close the gap to clip the portion of the toenail.

An automatic nail clipping device including a blade plate replaceably secured within a blade plate holder frame within a covering shell, an electronic motor driving a shaft which in turn rotates an extending cam element. The extending cam element engaging an oblong opening on a backside of the blade plate holder frame, raising and dropping the entire blade plate holder frame, and causing the blade in the blade plate to clip nails in a downward movement and return the blade plate to a ready elevated position.

A nipper device that is useful in the care and grooming of nails of the hands and feet. The nipper device provides cutting blades where are sharper, more durable, and more hygienic. The handles of the device may be magnetized to provide magnetic therapy benefits to a user of the device.

A nail clipping and collecting device includes a housing and a clipper. The housing defines an interior volume and includes first and second actuation mechanisms. The clipper is enclosed by the housing. The clipper includes a first support having an end with a first cutting edge and a second support movably connected to the first support and having an end with a second cutting edge. The clipper includes a first lever arm having a first portion coupled to the first support and a second portion having a first interfacing surface interfacing with the first actuation mechanism and a second lever arm having a first portion coupled to the second support and a second portion having a second interfacing surface interfacing with the second actuation mechanism. As the first and second actuation mechanisms are actuated, the clipper is brought from a first disengaged position to a second engaged position.

A clipper having a digit stop edge preventing the clipping of a fingernail or toenail too close to result in laceration or infection of the tip of the digit having a nail to be clipped. A clipper having a fingertip or toetip guide to stabilize the clipping procedure, and to allow clipping of a fingernail or toenail at a pre-determined length.

A nail clipper includes a cutting unit which includes an inner elastic plate which is bent such that a pair of cutting blades faces each other and the inner elastic plate has elastic restoring force, an outer elastic plate which is bent to surround an outer surface of the inner elastic plate and has elastic restoring force, and a pushing plate which has one end assembled to a support shaft disposed in inner and outer shaft holes penetratively formed in the inner and outer elastic plates and elastically deforms the inner and outer elastic plates by being pushed; a handle unit which includes a first main body which has an internal space into which the cutting unit is inserted and disposed, and a scattering prevention unit prevents a cut object cut by the cutting blades from scattering.

A double levered, adjustable nail clipper that is particularly adapted to overcome the difficulties in cutting toenails. A typical embodiment has two action levers in opposed positions that permit applying twice the force of a single lever clipper. In addition, at least one of the action levers is rotatable turning a penetrating pin that adjusts the width of the cutting channel. This allows a simple conversion of the channel width to a close configuration for fingernails and a wide configuration for toenails. A particular embodiment optionally allows the attachment and carrying of keys at the base of the unit. Another embodiment has only a single lever and can optionally carry keys.

An apparatus including nail clipping edges configured to move towards each other when a force is applied to the apparatus, and one or more strain gauges configured to sense transformations of the apparatus caused by said force.

An electrically-powered nail cutting apparatus includes a housing having a front face and a rear face, two sides, a top and a bottom. The front face of the housing having an open slot at least 0.5 mm in height and between 0.7 cm and 4 cm in width, the slot having a front-facing opening and a rear-facing opening. Within the housing and proximal to the rear-facing opening is a vertically translating nail-cutting blade plate associated with an electric motor that is configured to translate the nail-cutting blade plate consecutively down and up. The blade plate is a solid material having an opening therein, wherein the top of the opening comprises a cutting blade with a cutting edge within the opening such that the cutting edge is adjacent the rear-facing element.
