Nail clipper assembly

Abstract

The present invention provides attachable upper and lower handles for attachment by insertion into the opposite the cutting ends or the distal ends of a conventional nail clipper wherein the handles define an area sized for receiving thumbs, fingers, or hand or palm portions of an individual in a comfortable, natural manner to allow the nail clipper to be held more securely and conveniently during a nail clipping operation. In a preferred embodiment, the present invention may provide attachable upper and lower handles defining a roughened broader thumb contacting area to aid in minimizing or even eliminating slippage during use by enlarging the metal lever arm to a size allowing firm thumb pressure.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A nail clipper assembly comprising:
 attachable upper and lower handles for attachment by insertion into distal opposite ends of cutting ends of a conventional nail clipper wherein said handles define an area sized for receiving thumbs, fingers, or hand or palm portions of an individual in a comfortable, natural manner to allow the nail clipper to be held more securely and conveniently during a nail clipping operation.   
     
     
         2 . The nail clipper assembly according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 side cutting jaws included to allow the nail clipper to be placed at a more natural and convenient angle with respect to a nail when a clipping operation is being carried out.   
     
     
         3 . The nail clipper assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein said attachable upper and lower handles each define a roughened broader thumb contacting area to aid in minimizing and eliminating slippage during use by enlarging a metal lever arm of said handles to a size that allows firm thumb pressure.
