Abstract: A nail clipper for pets has a scissors structure provided with cutting surfaces formed by curved blade pieces. The curved blade pieces are created by dividing a spherical or elliptical body into quarter pieces having a hollow interior and formed with curved cutting edges. The blade pieces are hinged to opposite ends of a holding piece and moved by pivoting parts coupled to the ends of operating parts of the scissors structure. By operating the scissors structure, the curved blade pieces open and come together to cut the pet's nail, producing smooth nail edges cut in a curved shape with a single cutting action.

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: The inventive nail clippers comprise a two-membered clipper body (2) with a metal fitting (8) placed inside. The metal fitting has a U-shaped spring section (46) that, at the end of each of its legs (48), has bent portions (50) which form the cutting edges (10). The two clipper body members (4,6) also have angled portions (64,66) which encompass the leg ends of the spring section and which meet together opposite to the bent portions (50) that form the cutting edges (10). The angled portions engage with each other in such a way that they fit together, thereby ensuring that the cutting edges are accurately guided when they meet, even when the clipper body is made of plastic and is thus relatively resilient.
