a skin clip when the proximal ends of the two elements are forced toward each other to bring together into such gripping and deforming attitude the opposing faces of the distal ends of such two elements which are in the form of a pair of parallel anvil feet at an obtuse angle on the distal end of the handle element and a hawk bill projection at an obtuse angle on the distal end of the trigger element such obtuse angles opposing each other to form a diamond shaped pocket to entrap the crown of a skin clip for deformation and removal application_number US 29153481 A description with reference to the accompanying drawings the same parts are identified by the same reference numerals in all figures in fig1 a specific embodiment of the skin clip remover of the present invention is indicated generally by reference numeral 10 and includes a handle element 20 and a trigger element 30 which are shown in this exploded view in their relative positions in fig2 and 3 the remover 10 is shown in assembled form fig2 shows the remover 10 with the handle element 20 and the trigger element 30 in positions to accept a skin clip 11 for deformation fig3 shows the remover 10 in fully closed condition with a fully deformed extracted skin clip 11 gripped between the two elements the handle element 20 as seen in fig1 and 3 is formed with a ring 21 at the proximal end to accommodate the thumb of the user in manipulating the remover 10 identation 22 and rib 23 are optional design features to reduce the weight and increase the structural strength.
