Bin heute früh bei der Arbeit über die angehängte Skizze zum Vernieten von Blechen gestolpert. Ich vermute, dass der dargestellte "Döpper" der Ursprung für das in Westfalen gebräuchliche Wort "döppen" (= jmd im Schwimmbad kurz unterzutauchen) ist.

Gleichzeitig stehen die "Döppen" auch Synonym für Augen.

Und wie ich im angehängten Link gelesen habe, ist "döppen" mancherorts auch das Entschalen von Erbsen.
