DESCRIPTION

Tool for dismounting Playmobil ® dolls

Object of the invention

The object of the present invention is a novel tool that allows the large majority of Playmobil® dolls to be easily disassembled without damaging them, except those representing children and some with special characteristics, by separating the head.

Background of the invention

Playmobil® dolls, disclosed in the patent already expired DE 2 205 525, are widely known among children around the world and have become the subject of interest to many collectors and fans.

Most of them want to be able to exchange parts of a doll with those of others, to create customizations, for example, the torso, legs or arms and combine the different designs of these parts.

These dolls have a piece, called a skeleton, located inside the torso in which both the head and the legs and the arms fit so that they do not accidentally separate and can cause accidents to their users. The head fits into the skeleton by means of a stud, which is located at the bottom and has a throat. Once the head is fitted together with the rest of the doll's pieces, they cannot be disassembled.

Therefore, those collectors or fans who want to disassemble these dolls must first remove the head which requires either a lot of force or some type of action or sudden movement, or use pliers or pliers that can damage the head or body.

Preferred Embodiments

Figures 1 and 2 show a preferred embodiment of the tool (1) for dismounting Playmobil® dolls that has been described above.

The operation of the tool (1) is as follows: the screw head (2) is inserted into the second recess (3) of the traction piece (4), so that the screw cannot rotate with respect to its axis of revolution, likewise the head of the doll is introduced, without the piece that simulates the hair, a cap or other type of element, in the first hollow (5) of the mentioned traction piece, whose shape is the negative of the head, then the arms of the doll are turned upward so that they are located parallel to the longitudinal axis of the doll, and the hands fit into the ends of the wings of the support (6), the screw rod is inserted into the hole (7) of the support and in said rod the washer (8) and the wing nut (9) are introduced, after which only the wing nut is rotated. As the screw cannot rotate with respect to its axis of revolution, and depending on the direction of rotation that is given to the wing nut it causes the support and the pulling piece to move away or closer, when the support and the piece of traction approach, when making the arms stop said traction piece pulls the head until the head is disassembled.

Of course, the movement of the traction piece in the support can be guided by, for example, protrusions in the traction piece that slide through grooves in the support, or if the support had four vertical walls or by any other means.

It is evident that the exterior appearance of all the elements of the invention is not important as long as its interior design and operation is maintained as described.
