Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This invention relates to a torso, and more particularly to a torso cover as a display stand for body accessories. [Background technology]
[0002] Stands for displaying body accessories as merchandise come in a variety of shapes depending on the type and purpose of the accessory, such as necklace stands that can hang necklaces, cases that can hold rings upright, etc. When displaying necklaces in particular, torsos as human body models are sometimes used to express the feeling of actual use.
[0003] In the past, in displays using torsos, a method of covering the torso with soft materials such as cloth, leather, or suede has been used to prevent damage to the body accessories and the torso itself. The materials covered by the torso have come in a variety of colors and designs depending on the season, fashion, type of body accessories, etc. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] For the reasons mentioned above, it is desirable that the material attached as a torso cover be replaced depending on the situation. It also needs to be replaced if the material becomes soiled. However, for torsos with many curved surfaces, attaching the material without creating wrinkles requires skill, making it difficult to secure the necessary personnel. In addition, there are cases where the entire torso body is replaced rather than the material being replaced, which means that multiple torso bodies with different materials attached depending on the situation must be prepared, which requires improvement in terms of cost and space.
[0005] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a torso cover that is easily replaceable and is attached to a torso used for displaying body accessories. [Means for solving the problem]
[0006] That is, the torso cover of the present invention is intended to achieve the above-mentioned object, and is characterized in that it is a torso cover to be attached to a torso used for displaying body accessories, and has an opening corresponding to the back of the torso.
[0007] The torso cover of the present invention is also characterized in that the peripheral edge of the opening is provided with an edge portion that is thicker than other portions.
[0008] The torso cover of the present invention is characterized in that the shape of the inner surface is the same as the shape of the surface of the torso except for the opening and the edge. It is characterized by:
[0009] The torso cover of the present invention is also characterized by being made of silicone rubber. [Effects of the Invention]
[0010] The torso cover of this invention has an open area that corresponds to the back of the torso and is highly stretchable, making it easy to attach and detach from the torso body. This eliminates the need to prepare multiple torsos of the same type, and by preparing multiple torso covers of the same type but in different colors, it is possible to display them in a variety of situations.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0012] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. [Example]
[0013] Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the torso cover 1 of the present invention. Fig. 2 is a front view of the torso cover 1 of the present invention. Fig. 3 is a rear view of the torso cover 1 of the present invention. Fig. 4 is a plan view of the torso cover 1 of the present invention. Fig. 5 is a right side view of the torso cover 1 of the present invention. Fig. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the torso cover 1 of the present invention taken along line AA in Fig. 2.
[0014] The material of the torso cover 1 of the present invention is preferably elastic, flexible, and able to retain its shape. A specific material is preferably, but not limited to, silicone rubber. Silicone rubber is a thermosetting resin that is easily molded and preferably contains organopolysiloxane as its main component. Compression molding under pressure is suitable for molding silicone rubber such as the torso cover 1 of the present invention. The torso cover 1 molded in this manner is easy to color after molding, and due to the properties of the siloxane bonds in the main chain, it has elasticity, flexibility, and shape retention, as well as high stability, tensile strength, tear strength, weather resistance, and durability.
[0015] The torso cover 1 of the present invention is attached to a torso (not shown). A large opening 2 is cut out on the back side of the torso cover 1, and the inside of the torso cover 1 is hollow. The torso cover 1 can be attached or detached by expanding the opening 2. The opening 2 can be expanded due to the elasticity of the torso cover 1, making it easy to attach or detach the torso cover 1 to or from the torso.
[0016] It is preferable that the periphery of the opening 2 is provided with a rim 3. It is also preferable that the rim 3 is formed thicker than other parts of the torso cover 1. The formation of the rim 3 prevents damage to the torso cover 1 when the opening 2 is widened.
[0017] The shape of the inner surface of the torso cover 1 is preferably formed to be the same as the shape of the surface of the torso, except for the open portion 2 and the edge portion 3. By processing the mold used for compression molding into the same shape as the torso, the shape of the inner surface of the torso cover 1 can be made to match the shape of the surface of the torso. Although it may be possible to attach the torso cover 1 to the torso even if the shape of the inner surface of the torso cover 1 does not perfectly match the shape of the surface of the torso, this is not preferable because it may make the torso unstable or cause damage to the torso cover 1.
[0018] The torso cover 1 of the present invention is not limited to the shape shown in each drawing. If the neck, shoulders, and waist of the torso differ from the shape of the inner surface of the torso cover 1 shown in each drawing, the torso cover 1 can be molded into the desired shape by using a mold processed to fit the shape of the torso.
