Title: METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IMPROVED NAIL TRIMMING
Abstract: A nail trimmer apparatus (and related methods). The apparatus (100) is a small handheld battery powered device that safely trims nails be leveraging unique physical properties of the skin and nail tissue. A trimming action is driven by a compact motor (504) of appropriate speed and torque and a mechanism (505) that converts the rotation of the motor shaft to an oscillating action at the head. A cushioned abrasive surface (601) attached to the head oscillates with a frequency and stroke that optimizes the trimming of the nail while not adversely affecting surrounding skin. By selecting a desirable form factor and trimming properties, the device (100) is particularly well suited to trimming infant's nails (107). Infant's nails (107) are often difficult to trim due to the small size of the finger or toe and nail, the lack of cooperation by the infant and the precision required by the existing nail trimming tools.
