Abstract: The V-Nose Nail Clipper is a new design for a toenail clipper that offers dual-action features. The V-Nose Toe Nail Clipper can be used as a regular nail clipper as well as a special clipper that can be used to cut out ingrown nails. The extended, tapered edges allow you to clip the edges of the toenail preventing the painful, continued growth into the skin, which is caused by regular toenail clipper. Regular toe nail clipper don't have the side reach to allow you to make a clean cut, which in term leave sharp edges on the edge of the nail. The V-Nose Toe Clipper will allow you to make a clean cut, because of the extended, tapered edges on the toenail clipper. Also, the V-Nose Toenail Clipper will prevent you from getting ingrown toenails, because of the extended, tapered edges allow you to make a clean cut.

Abstract: A nail clipper of this invention has a somewhat V-shaped handle portion formed of a first upper handle and a second lower handle each of which is pivotally mounted with respect to the other, and movable toward the other. A nail holder, having an arcuate slot for the receipt of an artificial nail, extends forwardly from the lower handle. A cutter assembly having a forwardly disposed arcuate blade edge, is slidably mounted and interconnected to the upper handle's movement whereby it is actuated forwardly over the nail holder to carry out a cutting motion against a nail disposed in the nail holder's slot, upon the application of force to the two handles and moved rearwardly by a release of the grip of the upper portion. The apparatus also includes an elevation setter which may be used for controlling the size of cut of a nail inserted into the nail holder slot. A sizing tool may be employed with the elevation setter to preset the length of the nail to be worn.

Abstract: A device for retaining nail clippings within a nail clipper includes a housing adapted to cover the openings between the clippers elongate members, on both sides, from the first ends to the second ends thereof, thereby forming an enclosed region within the nail clipper. In addition, the device includes a valve element, adapted to be located between the elongate members, for blocking the passage of the nail clippings from the region of the jaw to the tail of the nail clipper when the jaw is opened and for allowing passage of the nail clippings when the jaw is closed. This allows nail clippings to pass to the region between the elongate members when the nails are being clipped and thereafter to be retained in this region when the jaw is opened. Thus, in effect, the valve works as a one way valve, permitting passage of the nail clippings into, but not out of, the nail clipper.
