Abstract: A finger/toe nail clipper assembly 10 comprises a lower arm 2 unitary with vertical side walls 4 and 6. The arms 2 and 14 are spaced in overlying arrangement, fastened at one end 8 and terminating in spaced facing jaw formations 14a and 2a. The jaw formations 14a and 2a comprise concave center blade sections 32 and 34 and angular side blade sections 42 and 44 that terminate in sharpened cutting edges and engage the center blade sections 32 and 34 and the side walls 4 and 6. The side blade sections 42 and 44 function as movable slots to fit various-sized finger/toe nails. When the blades 32 and 34 and 42 and 44 are engaged in "cutting" position, the interior chamber 24 of the device 10 is completely enclosed by the interior facing surfaces of the arms 2 and 14, side walls 4 and 6, and blade sections 32 and 34 and 42 and 44. The invention 10 eliminates the deflection and obstruction problems caused by the conventional mounting pin by providing other mounting means for the actuating lever.

Abstract: A finger/toe nail clipping and catching device 20 comprises a lower arm 74 unitary with vertical side walls 46 and 48. A rear block 96 between the rear ends of the lower and upper arms 74 and 76 provides more space between said arms 74 and 76 than in the conventional nail clipper. The lower and upper arms 74 and 76 are spaced in overlying arrangement, fastened at one end 82 and terminating in spaced facing jaw formations 45 and 47. The jaw formations 45 and 47 comprise upper and lower concave center blade sections 56 and 50 and upper and lower side blade sections 55 and 57 and 52 and 54 that terminate in sharpened cutting edges. When the blade sections are engaged in "cutting" position, the interior chamber of the device 20 is completely enclosed by the interior facing surfaces of the arms 74 and 76, side walls 46 and 48, and blade sections. The invention 20 eliminates the deflection and obstruction problems caused by the conventional mounting pin by providing other mounting means for the actuating lever.
