Abstract
A nail clipper comprising a stationary base having a structure defining a nail depository, a rear base end and a forward base end that terminates into a base jaw having a convexed base cutting edge. A pair of parallel tapering side walls is integrally bound to the stationary base. Each of the side walls include a back wall end and a front wall end having a top formed with a side wall recess seat. A resilient cover plate has a rear cover end bound to the rear base end and a forward cover end that terminates into a cover jaw. The cover jaw includes a convexed cover cutting edge that is capable of engaging the base cutting edge when the resilient cover plate is depressed. The nail clipper also includes a cover depressing lever with a level depressing end and a lever lug end that defines a pair of lugs which are pivotally received by the pair of side wall recess seats. A first end of a fulcrum-lever retention bar is rotatably connected to the cover plate and a second end of the fulcrum-lever retention bar defines a structure that is capable of acting as a fulcrum or as a retainer.
