Problems solved by technology

[0013] It is worth mentioning that flexible mannequins can assume various positions, the disadvantage is that their covering usually consists of a single piece, so that when the member flexes, folds are formed in the covering, which makes the flexible mannequin look uncut Practical and these folds tear the covering over time, causing the flexible mannequin to look distorted, anatomically out of proportion, / unbalanced and unsightly
Another disadvantage is that generally, the appearance of the flexible mannequins does not have details of the two features of the face and the defining lines of the human body, as they have a spongy and unnatural appearance

Embodiment Construction

[0069] see above mentioned figure 1 and figure 2 , it will be seen that the articulated mannequin of the present invention is formed by at least the following members: head (2), torso (3), two upper hemispherical connectors (1), two biceps (5a), Two elbows (5b), two forearms (6a), two hands (6b), hips (4), two lower hemispherical connectors (1), two upper thighs (7a), two lower thighs (7b), two lower legs (8a) and two feet (8b).

[0070] The aforementioned components are held together by means of assembly mechanisms located at the junctions (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 81, 82 and 90) between: head (2) and torso (3); torso (3) and two upper hemispherical connectors (1); upper hemispherical connector (1) and biceps (5a); biceps (5a) and Elbow (5b); Elbow (5b) and forearm (6a); Forearm (6a) and hand (6b); Torso (3) and hip (4); Buttock (4) and lower hemispherical connector (1) ; the lower hemispherical connector (1) and the upper thigh (7a); the upper thigh (7a) and...

Abstract

This invention relates to an articulated mannequin, comprising various assembly mechanisms that keep the limbs thereof assembled, in which said limbs may be rigid or flexible as well as hollow or solid. Said assembly mechanisms include, at least: magnetic connection mechanisms, magnetic locking and connection mechanisms, adjustable locking and connection mechanisms, adjustable twisting and connection mechanisms, free movement and connection mechanisms, automated movement and connection mechanisms, compound disc mechanisms, double ball-and-socket joint mechanisms and compression ball-and-socket joint mechanisms. Said mechanisms are characterized in that they are inserted in the material of the limbs of the articulated mannequin, and in that they give the articulated mannequin a complete range of movement and versatility, enabling it to take up any human posture and be installed in almost any location. By virtue of said assembly mechanisms, the limbs of the articulated mannequin can: remain static in a given position; return automatically to a given position, after having been moved; be assembled around a dividing sheet; perform automated movements; and perform movements without resistance, when interacting with moving objects; thereby being able to be put to more uses, in the location where the articulated mannequin is positioned.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an articulated manikin consisting of various assembly mechanisms that maintain the assembly of its components; wherein said assembly mechanisms are at least: magnetic attachment, magnetic attachment and locking, adjustable attachment and Locking, adjustable attachment and twist, attachment and free movement, attachment and automated movement, compound disc, double knee and compression knee mechanisms, characterized in that said mechanisms are inserted into limbs of said articulated mannequin between. [0002] The assembly mechanism mentioned above provides full mobility and versatility to the articulated manikin, allowing it to assume any human pose, and allowing it to be mounted in almost any position, making it easy to dress and undress; wherein said assembly The mechanism allows: the articulated mannequin can stay in any specified static position, its members can automatically return to a specified position after they...
