Design sketch for unbreakable joints in doll fingers
Posted: Thu Apr 17, 2014 5:23 pm
It took me a while... actually a quite bit more than that ... several years to be honest to figure out what I am about to show you.
Proudly I present to you: the unbreakable hands . Or better the 'not so easy to break skeleton of the fingers' in the hands .
Now you probably would expect that my invention only concerns ScoonimDolls, but I think that the dollmakers amongst you might find this topic most interesting because the system can very likely be adjusted to fit other type of dolls as well .
Let me show you my design sketch and final prototype first:
You may wonder why I reveal the details of my invention (no it is not patented). The simple reason is that even though the invention solves a difficult problem, in my current design the amount of time needed to make the skeleton for even a single hand is so much substantial that I do not expect this invention to be a solution for mass production. And I think that this fact will almost certainly rule out the interest of just about every professional dollmaker that has financial capacity to get ideas by buying them .
Just to proof my point:
All professional dollmakers that are interested to buy a license to use my invention I ask now raise their hands!
Anybody???...
....Going once....going twice...
... nobody! Just as I thought .
Now of course I might as well try to sell it to the semi-professional and amateur dollmakers amongst you. After all for you time is not an issue and it is very likely that my design for unbreakable hands is for you nothing less than a gift from heaven... .So, I will refrase the question and I will even toss in the magic word:
Will all non- and semi professional dollmakers amongst you that even slightly consider to pay for using my idea which took me years to develop, for which I had to make numberous tests and prototypes and which might save me and my poor family from the gutter ( ), will you (magic word:) PLEASE raise your hands...?
Anybody???...
Let me remind you that I said 'please'...
.......
.............................I am still waiting.........

Hmm, awkward silence,... not entirely unexpected I admit. But it was worth it to try.
Ok, so here is the deal:
If you want to use this idea, you are free to do so, provided that you are not going to use it commercialy without my approval. And if you use it just for your own doll(s), then please mention me in your credits.

P.S.
In case you are wondering which part is actually the key part of the invention(-s . There are 7 !). It is mainly in the poseable PP wire with tape core which runs through the whole of each finger, which connects the phalanges into a solid whole and making genuine poseable joints in the knuckles .
