Definitions
- the present invention relates to a mannequin, more particularly a mannequin for the display of clothing, for instance in storefront windows, stores and showrooms.
- Mannequins are designed in anthropomorphic form, to mimic human morphology in a particular size. It shall be noted in this respect that mannequins often mimic only a part of the human body. Thus, for example, certain mannequins only mimic the torso of the human body (i.e. the part between the waist and the start of the neck) and others only the legs, the former being designed for the display of jackets, shirts and the like, whereas the latter are designed for the display of trousers, skirts, stockings and the like.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a mannequin adapted to allow the display of clothing, which has such structural and functional characteristics as to obviate the above prior art drawbacks.
- numeral 1 generally designates a mannequin of the present invention.
- the mannequin only mimics the upper part of a human body, generally known as trunk, or torso.
- the torso 1 of the mannequin extends in a main longitudinal direction X-X between a lower end and an upper end, substantially corresponding to the waist and the start of the neck of a human body respectively.
- the torso 1 is divided into at least three parts, each defining corresponding sections of the torso 1.
- the torso 1 is divided into four parts, which are stacked one above the other in the longitudinal direction X-X. In the figures, these four parts are referenced 2, 3, 4, 5 from bottom to top respectively.
- the torso 1 further includes connection means 6, 7 which engage said four parts 2, 3, 4, 5 to hold them together, preferably in substantial contact with each other, while allowing mutual displacement of one part (e.g. the part 3) relative to the other part next to it (e.g. relative to the part 2 or the part 4).
- each part 2, 3, 4, 5 defines a section of the torso 1 which is delimited between a first end wall (in the figures the upper walls 2a, 3a, 4a, 5a) and an opposite second end wall (in the figures the lower walls 2b, 3b, 4b, 5b). It shall be noted that the side wall of each part 2, 3, 4, 5 between the corresponding end walls defines a corresponding portion of the mannequin torso 1.
- the upper end walls 2a, 3a, 4a, 5a and the lower end walls 2b, 3b, 4b, 5b are flat walls extending transverse to said longitudinal direction X-X. More preferably, said upper end walls 2a, 3a, 4a, 5a and said lower end walls 2b, 3b, 4b, 5b are flat walls extending perpendicular to said longitudinal direction X-X oif the torso 1.
- connection means are so designed as to allow said parts 2, 3, 4, 5 that form the torso 1 to make a rotary movement of a first part 2, 3, 4, 5 relative to a second part 2, 3, 4, 5 next to the first.
- connection means include pin means 6 engaging with corresponding pin seats 9. More particularly, the connection means include a pin 6 that extends parallel to the longitudinal direction X-X substantially throughout the length of the torso 1.
- the pin 6 is entirely received in the torso 1, and does not project therefrom or at least does not jut out of the contour of the mannequin.
- the pin 6 engages respective, corresponding pin seats 9, which:
- pin seats 9 extend between the upper end wall, 2a, 3a, 4a, 5a respectively and the lower end wall 2b, 3b, 4b, 5b respectively of each part 2, 3, 4, 5.
- the pin seats 9 have a circular cross section (see 9a in Figure 8 ).
- the pin seats are slots (see 9b in Figure 9 ), which are adapted to allow said four parts 2, 3, 4, 5 to rotate and translate at the same time along the axis of the slot 9b, relative to the pin 6 and hence to each other.
- the pin seats are defined by two or more joined slots, which are adapted to allow said four parts 2, 3, 4, 5 to rotate and translate at the same time relative to the pin 6 and hence to each other.
- the two or more slots may be arranged in a cross shape (see 9c in Figure 8 ) or in a X, K, H, T, L or O shape, or else.
- the bottom end of the pin 6 is threaded and in thread engagement with the internal threads of said bushing.
- flanged head 7 of the threaded bushing of the lower part 2 is secured by fastening screws 8, although other fixation arrangements may be provided, e.g. press fit or glue.
- the mannequin is made of plastic, more preferably of impact-resistant polystyrene.
- substantially horizontal support surfaces are defined in the mannequin at its torso 1, and may act as support surfaces for the display of any accessory, such as a belt, a lighter, a scarf or the like, or even as a support for a plate bearing information on the articles of clothing displayed on the mannequin or on sale prices.
- a torso having the feature of being composed of a plurality of parts connected as described above one or more parts may be changed and even a single part of the torso may be changed in a simple and quick manner. This may be useful not only when a part of the mannequin torso has been damaged but also, for instance, if a mannequin torso that mimics a woman's body is required to be changed from a torso with large breasts to a mannequin model with smaller breasts.
- the mannequin of the present invention fulfills the above needs and obviates the drawbacks of prior art mannequins. Indeed, the mannequin of the invention allows mutual offset of the parts that compose the torso to create horizontal support surfaces.
- Another advantage of the mannequin of the invention consists in its flexible configuration, allowing replacement of one or more parts of the torso so that their features may fit particular displaying needs.
- Yet another advantage of the mannequin of the invention is its uniquely simple construction, despite the possibility of simple and which configuration changes.
- the number of parts that compose the torso may be increased.
- each part may be equipped with a pin projecting out of its upper end wall, for engaging a corresponding pin seat in the lower end wall of the overlying part, obviously excepting the part that defines the upper portion of the torso.
