Claim 11:
12. A method of cutting nails of fingers or toes of a human on an automatic nail clipping device comprising:
a covering shell;
a blade plate having a blade, an opposed edge, a front face and a rear face, and joining the blade and opposed edge, two side edges;
each side edge having a notch or hole therein;
each blade plate supported in a blade holder frame supporting the two side edges and the rear face;
the blade holder frame having two posts fitted into the notches or holes in the side edge;
the blade holder frame having a front face with a raised pressure ridge thereon providing pressure against the blade plate transferring said pressure to the rear of a face plate through the blade to the front face, and a rear face with an oval cam receiving opening therein;
the blade holder frame slidably engaged within a motor mount frame;
the face plate, stably fixed to the motor mount shell with a slot in the face plate for allowing nails of a human being to pass through the slot to a cutting area within the covering shell;
engaging the cam receiving opening in the rear face of the blade holder frame is an eccentrically revolving cam;
an electric motor connected to the cam through a rotatable shaft;
the motor configured to rotate the rotatable shaft, revolving the eccentrically revolving cam;
the eccentrically revolving cam configured to apply varying force against the oval cam receiving opening in the rear face of the blade holder frame, thereby causing the entire blade holder frame to slide up and down within the motor mount frame, moving the blade plate parallel against a plane of the face plate, wherein the method comprises powering the electric motor to motivate the blade plate holder up and down, inserting a nail through the slot, and clipping the nail, the nail clipping dropping into a receptor.
