Nail clippers

Abstract

A nail clipper includes a pincer forming multiple opposed sections. A first opposed section includes a first jaw spaced from a second jaw of a second opposed section. The nail clipper also includes a transverse assembling pin mounted between the opposed sections of the pincer. At least one handle is provided. The at least one handle includes a short portion and a long portion. The short portion is mounted to the transverse assembling pin such that a fulcrum point of the handle on the transverse assembling pin remains at substantially a cross-sectional center of the transverse assembling pin when the at least one handle is rotated relative to the pincer.

1 . A nail clipper, comprising: 
 a pincer forming a plurality of opposed sections, a first opposed section including a first jaw spaced from a second jaw of a second opposed section;    a transverse assembling pin mounted between the opposed sections of the pincer; and    at least one handle including a short portion and a long portion, the short portion being mounted to the transverse assembling pin such that a fulcrum point of the handle on the transverse assembling pin remains at substantially a cross-sectional center of the transverse assembling pin when the at least one handle is rotated relative to the pincer.    
   
   
       2 . The nail clipper of  claim 1 , wherein a profile of the opposed sections of the pincer substantially forms a generally U-shape and the jaws partially enclose an open end of the U-shape.  
   
   
       3 . The nail clipper of  claim 1 , wherein a profile of the opposed sections of the pincer substantially forms a generally V-shape and the jaws partially enclose an open end of the V-shape.  
   
   
       4 . The nail clipper of  claim 1 , the short portion of each at least one handle comprising at least one cam-like protrusion which contacts the pincer.  
   
   
       5 . The nail clipper of  claim 1 , wherein the cam-like protrusion is semi-spherical.  
   
   
       6 . The nail clipper of  claim 4 , wherein the at least one cam-like protrusion of the short portion of each at least one handle comprises two cam-like protrusions.  
   
   
       7 . The nail clipper of  claim 1 , the short portion of each at least one handle forming a generally U-shape that is fitted around the transverse assembling pin.  
   
   
       8 . A nail clipper, comprising: 
 a pincer forming a plurality of opposed sections, a first opposed section including a first jaw spaced from a second jaw of a second opposed section;    a transverse assembling pin mounted between the opposed sections of the pincer; and    two handles, each including a short portion and a long portion, and each handle being mounted to the transverse assembling pin such that contact between each handle and the transverse assembling pin remains at substantially a cross-sectional center of the transverse assembling pin when the at least one handle is rotated relative to the pincer.    
   
   
       9 . The nail clipper of  claim 8 , wherein the contact between each handle and the transverse assembling pin occurs at a line of intersection between the short portion and the long portion.  
   
   
       10 . The nail clipper of  claim 8 , wherein the opposed sections of the pincer comprise two equal and opposed jaw members which are rigidly connected at a closed end.  
   
   
       11 . The nail clipper of  claim 8 , wherein the opposed sections are rigidly connected by welding.  
   
   
       12 . The nail clipper of  claim 8 , wherein the opposed sections are rigidly connected by riveting.  
   
   
       13 . The nail clipper of  claim 8 , the short portion of each at least one handle comprising at least two cam-like protrusions which contact the pincer and upon which each handle pivots when operated to move one of said first jaw and said second jaw towards the other of said first jaw and said second jaw to exert a cutting force.  
   
   
       14 . The nail clipper of  claim 8 , the short portion of each handle forming a generally U-shape that is fitted around the transverse assembling pin, and the assembling pin rotating with a rotation of the two handles:  
   
   
       15 . A nail clipper, comprising: 
 a pincer forming a plurality of opposed sections, a first opposed section including a first jaw spaced from a second jaw of a second opposed section;    a transverse assembling pin mounted between the opposed sections of the pincer; and    two handles, each mounted to the transverse assembling pin by at least one connector passed through at least one bore of each handle and at least one bore of said transverse assembling pin.    
   
   
       16 . The nail clipper of  claim 15 , wherein said transverse assembling pin comprises symmetrical bores at opposed ends through which connectors are respectively passed through to mount said handles to said transverse assembling pin.  
   
   
       17 . The nail clipper of  claim 15 , wherein the short portion of each handle forms a generally U-shape and two opposing sections of the U-shape comprise symmetrical bores through which a connector is respectively passed to mount said handles to said transverse assembling pin.  
   
   
       18 . The nail clipper of  claim 15 , 
 wherein said transverse assembling pin comprises symmetrical bores at opposed ends through which connectors are respectively passed;    wherein the short portion of each handle forms a generally U-shape and two opposing sections of the U-shape comprise symmetrical bores through which a connector is respectively passed; and    wherein the bore at a respective end of said transverse assembling pin is aligned with the symmetrical bores of a respective section of the U-shaped short portion of the handle.    
   
   
       19 . The nail clipper of  claim 15 , wherein a connector is passed through the aligned bore at an end of said transverse assembling pin and the symmetrical bores of a section of the U-shaped short portion of the handle, the wire serving as an axle for mounting the handle to the transverse assembling pin.  
   
   
       20 . The nail clipper of  claim 15 , wherein the connector comprises one of a wire and a rod.
