Abstract: A nail trimming system that provides for retention of nail trimmings includes a nail clipper and a receptacle attached to the nail clipper. The receptacle circumscribes and extends past the blades of the nail clipper, and has an opening for insertion of a finger or toe. The receptacle may have a transparent region, allowing a user to view the nail trimming site. A method of trimming a nail includes inserting a distal edge of a nail into the opening of the receptacle and between the blades of the nail clipper, forming a nail trimming by compressing the distal edge between the lower and upper blades and severing the distal edge from a main nail plate, and retaining the nail trimming in the receptacle.

Abstract: A protective headgear may include a rigid outer shell including a bottom opening and an internal cavity, a suspension attached to the outer shell and positioned at least partially within the internal cavity, and a rim circumscribing at least a portion of the bottom opening and extending laterally from the outer shell. The rim may include an edge. At least a portion of the edge may include a groove. The rim may include at least one projection. A flexible cover may be retained on the protective headgear.
