Infant nail trimming device

Abstract

An infant nail trimming device may include a body which may form a finger aperture. The body may have a first end and a second end which may be separated by a recess. Preferably, the body may be made from a resilient material which may enable the first end and the second end to be moved towards and away from each other thereby decreasing and increasing the size of the finger aperture, respectively. A body shield may be coupled to the body, and an abrasive surface may be coupled to the body shield so that the abrasive surface and finger aperture are positioned on opposing sides of the body shield. The abrasive surface may have a width dimension (AW), the body may have a width dimension (BW), and the AW may be greater than the BW.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An infant nail trimming device, the device comprising:
 a body;   a finger aperture formed in the body;   a body shield coupled to the body; and   an abrasive surface coupled to the body shield so that the abrasive surface and finger aperture are positioned on opposing sides of the body shield, wherein the abrasive surface comprises a width dimension (AW), wherein the body comprises a width dimension (BW), and wherein AW is greater than BW.   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the body comprises a first arm, having a first end, and a second arm having a second end, wherein the finger aperture is formed between the first arm and second arm, and wherein the first end and second end are separated by a recess. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the abrasive surface comprises a substantially curved planar shape. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the body shield comprises a shield surface, and wherein the shield surface comprises a substantially curved planar shape. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the abrasive surface comprises a length dimension (AL), wherein the body comprises a length dimension (BL), and wherein AL is greater than BL. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the abrasive surface is removably coupled to the body shield via a securement layer. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 6 , wherein the abrasive surface and securement layer are coupled to opposing sides of a cushion layer. 
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the body comprises a resilient material. 
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the body shield comprises a channel. 
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the body shield comprises a lip. 
     
     
         11 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the abrasive surface is curved towards the finger aperture. 
     
     
         12 . An infant nail trimming device, the device comprising:
 a body;   a finger aperture formed in the body;   a body shield coupled to the body; and   an abrasive surface coupled to the body shield so that the abrasive surface and finger aperture are positioned on opposing sides of the body shield, wherein the abrasive surface comprises a substantially curved planar shape, wherein the abrasive surface comprises a width dimension (AW), wherein the body comprises a width dimension (BW), wherein AW is greater than BW, wherein the abrasive surface comprises a length dimension (AL), wherein the body comprises a length dimension (BL), and wherein AL is greater than BL.   
     
     
         13 . The device of  claim 12 , wherein the body comprises a first arm, having a first end, and a second arm having a second end, wherein the finger aperture is formed between the first arm and second arm, and wherein the first end and second end are separated by a recess. 
     
     
         14 . The device of  claim 12 , wherein the body shield comprises a shield surface, and wherein the shield surface comprises a substantially curved planar shape. 
     
     
         15 . The device of  claim 12 , wherein the abrasive surface is removably coupled to the body shield via a securement layer. 
     
     
         16 . The device of  claim 15 , wherein the abrasive surface and securement layer are coupled to opposing sides of a cushion layer. 
     
     
         17 . The device of  claim 12 , wherein the body comprises a resilient material. 
     
     
         18 . The device of  claim 12 , wherein the body shield comprises a channel. 
     
     
         19 . The device of  claim 12 , wherein the body shield comprises a lip. 
     
     
         20 . The device of  claim 12 , wherein the abrasive surface is curved towards the finger aperture.
