Abstract
Description
Technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a lever and removal tool, in particular for removing attachments from robotic lawnmowers. These include, among other things, sealing plugs, covers, or other positively engaged components. The tool can also be used as a universal manual lever tool for maintenance and disassembly purposes. State of the art
[0002] Robotic lawnmowers and similar devices often use attachments such as plastic sealing plugs, cover caps, or protective covers. These are usually attached by snap-fit tabs, clamping action, or friction and are difficult to remove with conventional tools, often resulting in damage. Users are forced to use improvised tools like screwdrivers or knives for removal, which can easily damage the component or the robotic lawnmower itself. Object of the invention
[0003] The object of the invention is to provide a compact, functional tool that enables the safe and damage-free removal of attachments such as sealing plugs or covers on robotic lawnmowers and can also be used as a universal lever tool in the field of maintenance and disassembly. Solution
[0004] The task is accomplished using a lever and removal tool ( Fig. 1) solved, preferably manufactured by injection molding or additive manufacturing processes, and featuring a flattened, hook-shaped removal edge (1). This allows for targeted positioning under an attachment, e.g., a sealing plug, to remove it by leverage. The upper part of the tool is designed as an ergonomic gripping surface (2) and can optionally be provided with a surface structure such as knurling or texturing for improved handling. Due to its compact design, the tool can be stored in a space-saving manner as part of a maintenance or accessory kit for robotic lawnmowers and can be used universally.
[0005] This representation ( Fig. 1) corresponds to a preferred embodiment of the invention.
