Double ended clipper

Abstract

A double ended clipper, comprising a double clipper body having two opposite cutting members with a pair of cutting blades, in a planar or a stacked position. The cutting members can have clip covers covering both lateral sides of the cutting members with the clip cover leaving the cutting blades exposed. The double ended clipper is operated by a lever arm attached to the clip cover or by a handle attached to the cutting members in a similar manner as the conventional nail cutters.

       3 . The double ended clipper of  claim 1  wherein the cutting members are fused together at a mid location. 
   
   
       4 . The double ended clipper of  claim 1  wherein the cutting members are two separate cutters attached together at a mid section of the double ended clipper. 
   
   
       5 . The double ended clipper of  claim 1  wherein a means for attaching the double clipper body to the clip covers of the cutting members is a tubular rivet introduced through aligned openings of the clip covers and a central opening aligned with the openings of the clip covers on the double clipper body. 
   
   
       6 . The double ended clipper of  claim 1  wherein the lever arm has a first end and a second end, the first end having a prong on each side inserting into a pair of matching openings on the clip cover and a clipper pressing end section opposite a raised platform, the raised platform located at the second end of the lever arm. 
   
   
       7 . The double ended clipper of  claim 6  wherein the matching openings is circular or a slit with a circular end. 
   
   
       8 . The double ended clipper of  claim 6  further comprising a raised plate at an inside surface of the double clipper body, the raised plate providing a resting platform for the prongs of the lever arm when the clipper pressing end section press on the double clipper body of the double ended clipper. 
   
   
       9 . The double ended clipper of  claim 6  wherein the lever arm swings from a keeping position to a working position as the prongs pivot around the matching openings on the clip cover. 
   
   
       10 . The double ended clipper of  claim 9  wherein the lever arm in the working position has a raised platform higher than a raised platform of the lever arm in the keeping position. 
   
   
       11 . A double ended clipper, comprising:
 an assembled clipper body having two cutting members, a top cutting member stacked on top of a bottom cutting member, each cutting member opposite each other having a pair of cutting blades;   a first handle for the top cutting member and a second handle for the bottom cutting member;   means for assembling the clipper body; and,   means for connecting the first handle to the top cutting member and the second handle to the bottom cutting member.   
   
   
       12 . The double ended clipper of  claim 11  wherein the handles are connected to the top and bottom cutting members by lever pins. 
   
   
       13 . The double ended clipper of  claim 11  further comprising a clip cover for each cutting member. 
   
   
       14 . The double ended clipper of  claim 11  wherein the cutting members have different types of cutting blades. 
   
   
       15 . The double ended clipper of  claim 11  wherein the assembled clipper body has a first clipper plate, a common clipper plate, and a second clipper plate, the first and second clipper plates having one of the pair of cutting blades on one end and a non-bladed end opposite the cutting blade, the cutting blade of the first clipper plate at a position opposite the cutting blade of the second clipper plate, the common clipper plate having a cutting blade at both ends of the plate, with one cutting blade pairing with the cutting blade on the first clipper plate and the other cutting blade pairing with the cutting blade of the second clipper plate. 
   
   
       16 . The double ended clipper of  claim 15  further comprising a clip cover for each cutting member, the clip cover for the top cutting member are side bars extending upwards from both lateral sides of the common clipper plate and the clip cover for the bottom cutting member are side bars extending downwards from both lateral sides of the common clipper plate. 
   
   
       17 . The double ended clipper of  claim 16  wherein a lever arm attached to the clip cover is used to operate the stacked double ended clipper instead of the handles, the lever arm having a first end and a second end, the first end having a prong on each side inserting into a pair of matching openings on the clip cover allowing the lever arm to swing from a keeping position to a working position as the prongs pivot around the matching openings on the clip cover and a clipper pressing end section opposite a raised platform at the second end of the lever arm wherein the raised platform of the lever arm in a working position is higher than a raised platform of the lever arm in the keeping position. 
   
   
       18 . The double ended clipper of  claim 15  wherein the means for assembling the clipper body is a first rivet having one end inserted into an opening at a non-bladed end of the first clipper plate and another end inserted into an opening on one end of the common clipper plate at the same side of the opening at the non-bladed end of the first clipper plate and a second rivet having one end inserted into an opening at the common clipper plate and another end inserted into an opening at a non-bladed end of the second clipper plate at the same side of the opening at the common clipper plate, the first and second rivets press punched to form a lip around the openings thereby connecting the first and second clipper plates with the common clipper plate. 
   
   
       19 . The double ended clipper of  claim 17  wherein the connection between the first and second clipper plates with the common clipper plate is reinforced by angular flanges engaging with angular notches. 
   
   
       20 . A double ended clipper, comprising:
 a double clipper body having two opposite cutting members on each end, each with a pair of cutting blades, in a planar position;   a clip cover on each cutting member covering both lateral sides of the cutting members, the clip cover leaving the cutting blades exposed;   a lever arm attached to each clip cover for operating the cutting members, the lever arm having a first end and a second end, the first end having a prong on each side inserting into a pair of matching openings on the clip cover allowing the lever arm to swing from a keeping position to a working position as the prongs pivot around the matching openings on the clip cover and a clipper pressing end section opposite a raised platform at the second end of the lever arm wherein the raised platform of the lever arm in a working position is higher than a raised platform of the lever arm in the keeping position.
