Slim Style Plastic Safety Joints in various for toy making

These quality safety joints conform to EN71-3 and REACH standards and enable your creation have moving arms, legs and head. They are available in various disk sizes and pack sizes. A pack of 5 (5 joints) will be enough to joint one bear (or a toy that has two arms, two legs and one head!) and a pack of 25 (25 joints) will be enough for 5 bears/dolls/etc. We also have an option to purchase a single safety joint (1 joint). This option will comprise of 1 plastic pin, 1 washer & 1 locking disk.

The size of the disk refers to the diameter of the larger disk. For instance, a 45mm disk will measure 45mm from one side of the disk to the other.

Each joint is made up of three pieces: one plastic disk with a ridged pin (which sits on one side of the joint), another plastic disk with a hole (which sits on the other side of the joint and connects onto the ridged pin) and a smaller locking disk which goes on to the pin last and holds the joint in place.

Because the joints need to be firmly secured, it is a tight fit to attach the locking disk and you need a bit of strength to push it on! If you are struggling, two things that can help with this are the Safety Eye Insertion Tool or by soaking the joint in hot water for a minute before inserting.

The joints are all washable and conform to British Toy Regulation Safety Standard EN71 Part 3 and REACH. If you need a copy of the safety declarations, please let us know.
