Patent ID: 8640319

Claim:
A method of forming a nail cutting system comprising a form that is bendable at at least five different locations to form the system of a nail clipping system comprising: a) two opposed surfaces hinged at one end, b) associated with an upper one of the two opposed surfaces is at least one downward exterior plate, c) associated with a lower one of the opposed surfaces is at least one upward interior plate directly opposed to the downward exterior plate; d) the at least one downward exterior plate has a slot therein accessible to finger nails; e) the at least one upward interior plate has rigidly attached thereto a blade element that slides along an interior surface of the downward exterior plate and across the slot therein, the process comprising bending in five different connection points between: 1) a first plate with a blade and a first flat leverage plate; 2) a second plate with a blade and the first leverage plate; 3) a third plate with a slot and a second leverage plate; 4) a fourth plate with a slot and the second leverage plate; and 5) a living hinge between the first leverage plate and the second leverage plate providing and bending the form at least five times so that flexing along the living hinge causes at least the second plate with the blade to slide along the third plate with a slot so that the blade slides over the slot to cut protruding material passing through the slot; wherein the bending at the at least five different locations form the nail cutting system.
