Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A nail clipper designed to trim a portion of the nail of a person's digit without causing injury to the flesh portion of the digit includes a U-shaped body that has a first and second end and includes first and second, spaced-apart handles interconnected by a central arc portion between the handles proximate the first end. The handles are resiliently biased by the central arc portion into a partially extending, normal resting position. The central arc portion serves as a hinge. A first blade is fixedly coupled to the first handle and has a cutting slot defined in the structure thereof. A second blade is operably, pivotally coupled to the first handle and has an actuator for imparting pivotal motion thereto. The actuator is operably coupled to the second handle.

Abstract: A nail clipper (10) is disclosed which includes a one-piece, U-shaped, plastic body having a pair of longitudinal handles (13, 14) with blades (11, 12) on one or both of the longitudinal handles of the device. An integral central arc portion (15) bends when the longitudinal handles (13, 14) are compressed. The blades (11, 12) are aligned to provide a scissors-like interference cut. A receptacle (18) for the nail clippings may also be provided, either between the two handles (13, 14), within the lower handle (14) itself, or directly beneath the lower blade (12). The receptacle may be provided with a pivoting or removable cover (19). A file surface (21) may also be affixed to the nail clipper.
