Abstract

A pair of safe pet nail clippers includes a first handle and a second handle correspondingly disposed and pivotedly connected to each other. The first and second handles respectively include a blade portion and a handle portion. Blades of the blade portions of the first and second handles are provided in a concave shape. When the handle portions of the first and second handles are relatively opened to the maximum extent, an initial trimming hole is formed between the concave blades of the first and second handles. The first and second handles are provided therebetween with an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the relative opening of the handle portions of the first and second handles and the caliber of the initial trimming hole.

Claims (7)

1. A pair of safe pet nail clippers, comprising a first member ( 1 ) and a second member ( 2 ) correspondingly disposed and pivotally connected to each other by a pivot mechanism ( 8 ), the first and second members ( 1 , 2 ) respectively comprising a blade portion ( 3 ) and a handle portion ( 4 ), characterized in that: with blades ( 3 - 1 ) of the blade portions ( 3 ) of the first and second members ( 1 , 2 ) provided in a concave shape, when the handle portions ( 4 ) of the first and second members ( 1 , 2 ) are relatively opened by the pivot mechanism ( 8 ), an initial trimming hole ( 5 ) is formed between the concave blades ( 3 - 1 ) of the first and second members ( 1 , 2 ), with the first and second members ( 1 , 2 ) provided therebetween with an adjustment mechanism ( 6 ) for adjusting the relative opening of the handle portions ( 4 ) of the first and second members ( 1 , 2 ) and a caliber of the initial trimming hole ( 5 ),

wherein the first and second members ( 1 , 2 ) are provided therebetween with a reset mechanism ( 7 ) for keeping the concave blades ( 3 - 1 ) of the first and second members ( 1 , 2 ) in the position of the initial trimming hole ( 5 ), and the reset mechanism ( 7 ) comprises a first spring ( 7 - 1 ) and a second spring ( 7 - 2 ), wherein the first spring ( 7 - 1 ) is sleeved on the first screw ( 6 - 2 ), with one end thereof abutting on the handle portion ( 4 ) of the first member ( 1 ) and the other end thereof abutting on a first side of the turntable ( 6 - 1 ), and the second spring ( 7 - 2 ) is sleeved on the second screw ( 6 - 3 ), with one end thereof abutting on the handle portion ( 4 ) of the second member ( 2 ) and the other end thereof abutting on a second side of the turntable ( 6 - 1 ); and

wherein the adjustment mechanism ( 6 ) comprises a turntable ( 6 - 1 ), a first screw ( 6 - 2 ) located on the first side of the turntable ( 6 - 1 ) and driven to rotate by the turntable ( 6 - 1 ), a second screw ( 6 - 3 ) located on the second side of the turntable ( 6 - 1 ) and driven to rotate by the turntable ( 6 - 1 ), a first limit block ( 6 - 4 ) screwed on the first screw ( 6 - 2 ), and a second limit block ( 6 - 5 ) screwed on the second screw ( 6 - 3 ), wherein the handle portions ( 4 ) of the first and second members ( 1 , 2 ) are provided oppositely with a first mounting slot ( 6 - 6 ) and a second mounting slot ( 6 - 7 ), respectively, into which the first and second screws ( 6 - 2 , 6 - 3 ) are inserted, with the threads on the two screws ( 6 - 2 , 6 - 3 ) arranged in the reverse direction; the first and second limit blocks ( 6 - 4 , 6 - 5 ) are respectively located in the first and second mounting slots ( 6 - 6 , 6 - 7 ) and can move laterally relative to them, with notches of the first and second mounting slots ( 6 - 6 , 6 - 7 ) smaller than the first and second limit blocks ( 6 - 4 , 6 - 5 ); when the turntable ( 6 - 1 ) is rotated, the turntable ( 6 - 1 ) simultaneously drives the first and second screws ( 6 - 2 , 6 - 3 ) to rotate, and the first and second limit blocks ( 6 - 4 , 6 - 5 ) are moved axially close to or away from each other so as to adjust the distance between the first and second limit blocks ( 6 - 4 , 6 - 5 ), thus adjusting the relative opening of the handle portions ( 4 ) of the first and second members ( 1 , 2 ) and the caliber of the initial trimming hole ( 5 ).
