Abstract

An illuminated nail clipper. The illustrated embodiment of the illuminated nail clipper includes a thumb lever including a tab and post attachment section. Additionally, the embodiment would have a bottom clipper portion, including a top blade and a bottom blade. There is also a rivet positioned through a first end of each of the top and bottom blades. A post may be positioned through a second end of each of the top and bottom blades. A cutting region would be formed between the top and bottom blades at the second end of each. Additionally, there is a lighting system that includes a power source and a light source. The light source would be electrically coupled to the power source. The light source would be positioned sufficiently high over a top surface of the thumb lever to project a beam of light over and around a top of the post to create a nail illumination region, which would be located just beyond the cutting area.
