Nail Clippers

Abstract

Nail clippers comprise two legs extending in longitudinal direction, which are connected to one another with their one ends and the free ends of which form inner cutting edges, so as to cut through a fingernail or a toenail between both cutting edges. Both legs including the connecting area are of a metallic glass or an amorphous metal in one piece. Nail clippers also comprise two two-armed levers that cross one another and are articulated on one another at a crossing point. The free levers of one side form inner cutting edges at their ends so as to cut through a fingernail or toenail between both cutting edges, and wherein the free levers of the other side form handles. Both of the two-armed levers including the joint in each case are of a metallic glass or an amorphous metal in one piece.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . Nail clippers, comprising:
 two legs extending in a longitudinal direction and having
 first ends connected to one another at a connecting area; and 
 free ends opposite the first ends, the free ends forming inner cutting edges shaped to cut at least one of a fingernail and a toenail therebetween, the two legs and the connecting area being at least one of:
 a one-piece metallic glass; and 
 a one-piece amorphous metal. 
 
   
     
     
         2 . The nail clippers according to  claim 1 , wherein the two legs and the connecting area comprise a one-piece zirconium-based metallic glass. 
     
     
         3 . The nail clippers according to  claim 1 , wherein the two legs and the connecting area comprise a one-piece, injection-molded, zirconium-based metallic glass. 
     
     
         4 . The nail clippers according to  claim 1 , wherein the two legs and the connecting area comprise a one-piece zirconium-based amorphous metal. 
     
     
         5 . The nail clippers according to  claim 1 , wherein the two legs and the connecting area comprise a one-piece, injection-molded, zirconium-based amorphous metal. 
     
     
         6 . A method for producing nail clippers according to  claim 1 , wherein the two legs and the connecting area are injected molded with the metallic glass by injection into a mold having cavities that form all of the two legs and the connecting area. 
     
     
         7 . A method for producing nail clippers according to  claim 1 , wherein the two legs and the connecting area are injected molded with the amorphous metal by injection into a mold having cavities that form all of the two legs and the connecting area. 
     
     
         8 . Nail clippers, comprising:
 two two-armed levers crossing one another and articulated on one another at a crossing point, wherein:   free levers of a first side of the two-armed levers form inner cutting edges at first ends thereof, the cutting edges shaped to cut at least one of a fingernail and a toenail therebetween;   free levers of a opposite second side of the two-armed levers forming handles; and   both of the two-armed levers including a joint and being at least one of:
 a one-piece metallic glass; and 
 a one-piece amorphous metal. 
   
     
     
         9 . The nail clippers according to  claim 8 , wherein the two legs and the joint comprise a one-piece zirconium-based metallic glass. 
     
     
         10 . The nail clippers according to  claim 8 , wherein the two legs and the joint comprise a one-piece zirconium-based amorphous metal. 
     
     
         11 . A method for producing nail clippers according to  claim 8 , wherein the two legs and the joint are injected molded with the metallic glass by injection into a mold having cavities that form all of the two legs and the joint. 
     
     
         12 . A method for producing nail clippers according to  claim 8 , wherein the two legs and the joint are injected molded with the amorphous metal by injection into a mold having cavities that form all of the two legs and the joint. 
     
     
         13 . A method for producing nail clippers, which comprises:
 forming an injection mold with cavities in a shape of two legs extending in a longitudinal direction and having:
 first ends connected to one another at a connecting area; and 
 free ends opposite the first ends, the free ends forming inner cutting edges shaped to cut at least one of a fingernail and a toenail therebetween; and 
   injecting at least one of metallic glass and amorphous metal into the mold to form a one-piece nail clippers having both of the two legs and the connecting area.   
     
     
         14 . The method according to  claim 13 , which further comprises carrying out the injecting step with zirconium-based metallic glass to form the two legs and the connecting area in one-piece. 
     
     
         15 . The method according to  claim 13 , which further comprises carrying out the injecting step with a zirconium-based amorphous metal to form the two legs and the connecting area in one-piece. 
     
     
         16 . The nail clippers according to  claim 13 , wherein the two legs and the connecting area form a one-piece nail clippers.
