Light source inserted nail/toe clipper

Abstract

A novel nail clipper equipped with a light source is comprised of including but not limited to, two elongated spring arms, a biasing lever, a pivot pin, a light source, an on/off switch and a battery. The two spring arms are rigidly secured at one end and diverge at the other end. Two cutting edges are developed at the ends. The spring arms are pressed together in opposition to their inherent resilient force by a downward pressure on the lever. Upon the downward pressure applied by lever, cutting edges cooperatively engage to clip the nail. The biasing lever is pivoted at one end, to the pin extending through the aligned openings formed by the spring arms and is rotatably mounted so that the lever may be turned 180 degrees and is then put in its stored position for compactness. The light source is installed, including but not limited to, between the two spring arms, on the surface of the biasing lever, on the front surface of upper spring arm and in the pivot pin. The novel light source equipped nail clipper of this invention enables a safe nail cutting as well as picking out small pieces of glass, metal chips and a thorn of wood stuck in the skin all in a dark environment.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A novel nail clipper equipped with a light source is comprised of, two elongated spring arms rigidly secured at one end and diverge at the end, a biasing lever pivoted at one end to pin extending through aligned openings formed in spring arms and is rotatably mounted so that lever may be turned 180.degree, a lever pin, a pivot pin, a light source, an on/off switch and a battery.  
     
     
         2 . The light source, in  claim 1 , is installed between the two spring arms.  
     
     
         3 . The light source, in  claim 1 , is installed on the surface of the biasing lever.  
     
     
         4 . The light source, in  claim 1 , is installed in the pivot pin.  
     
     
         5 . The light source, in  claim 1 , is installed in the pivot pin exposing the light source through the top of the pin.  
     
     
         6 . The light source, in  claim 1 , is installed in the pivot pin exposing the light source through a hole facing the front side of the clipper body when in use.  
     
     
         7 . The light source, in  claim 1 , is installed in the pivot pin exposing the light source facing front through the center hole of the pivot pin, lower part of which is fixed to the lower spring arm meanwhile upper part is rotate-ably engaged to the lower part for rotation of the biasing lever without twisting the light source.  
     
     
         8 . The light source, in  claim 1 , is installed in the lever pin.  
     
     
         9 . The light source, in  claim 1 , is installed in the front face of the upper blade of the clipper.  
     
     
         10 . The light source, in  claim 1 , is Light Emitting Diode (LED).  
     
     
         11 . The light source, in  claim 1 , is Filament inserted light bulb.  
     
     
         12 . The battery, in  claim 1 , is a rechargeable battery.  
     
     
         13 . The battery, in  claim 1 , is a disposable battery.
