Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a mannequin figure that can be magnetically attached to a wall, in which a magnetic material is incorporated into or attached to the head, arms, legs, and torso of a full-sized or smaller mannequin figure, or a magnetic mounting guide is used, and the hands, arms, legs, ankles, and neck of the mannequin figure can be freely bent and extended and then magnetically attached to a magnetic makeup board or magnetic surface material.

Background Art

[0002] Generally, various reports have been made on magnetically attaching tools, furniture, etc. to a magnetic surface material. In particular, when the magnetic force between the magnet and the magnetic makeup board is not sufficient, it is difficult to magnetize those with a large volume and weight. As a magnet material optimal for using magnets, a magnet that provides inexpensive materials for those who study or have a hobby, and has strong adsorption and is an easy-to-use large magnet tool, the magnet body attached to the magnetic adsorption makeup board is a single ferrite-based or rare earth-based magnet, or a sheet body obtained by mixing the powder of the magnet with resin or rubber. As furniture or tools attached to the makeup board, those in which a magnetic sheet is pasted on the back of a magnetic sheet of a hanger, storage shelf, bookshelf, hooks, cloth hanging bar, picture frame hanging shelf, and a single-color sheet or memo writing sheet have been proposed (see Patent Document 1).

[0003] As a structure of the foot of a mannequin figure capable of displaying different shoes on the mannequin figure The calf and foot sections of the mannequin can be separated into two parts, with magnets and polygonal protrusions or polygonal holes installed in the cross-section of the calf section. The corresponding foot section also has magnets and polygonal protrusions or holes installed in its cross-section. The magnetic attraction between the two magnets, combined with the interlocking and secure fit of the polygonal protrusions or holes, allows the foot to easily attach to the mannequin's calf, preventing detachment and allowing for easy removal of the foot from the calf. Furthermore, a system has been proposed to support and secure the entire mannequin by installing height-adjustable support pillars at appropriate locations on the back of the mannequin (see Patent Document 2).

[0004] Furthermore, a joint structure for a mannequin doll that allows for three-dimensional bending and the expression of fine nuances in poses has been proposed, which connects a first member and a second member, wherein the first member has a spherical protrusion, and the second member has a recess that can receive the protrusion. In addition, at least one of the first member and the second member is equipped with a magnet, and the protrusion and recess are formed to slide freely against each other while in close contact by magnetic force. A design has been proposed in which the protrusion and / or recess are formed to be replaceable (see Patent Document 3).

[0005] Furthermore, a mannequin has been proposed that allows even people with little strength to easily change the lower body clothing without lifting the entire doll, comprising a doll body having a pair of legs that branch out from the torso and a support that supports the doll body, the doll body being divided into upper and lower halves at the torso, and the upper body located above the dividing point of the doll body and the lower body located below the dividing point of the doll body being flexibly connected via a connecting member, and by bending the lower body relative to the upper body supported by the support, both legs of the lower body can be lifted together (see Patent Document 4).

[0006] Conventional methods, such as blow-molding only the mannequin body and attaching separate arms with shoulder and elbow joint structures, inevitably result in high costs. This problem is solved by constructing the joints of a mannequin using a bellows structure in a blow-molded thermoplastic resin. Moreover, since the arms and hands of the mannequin according to this invention are formed by blow-molding via the shoulder and elbow joints, a method has been proposed that allows for significantly lower manufacturing costs than conventional products (see Patent Document 5).

[0007] In any living space such as rooms, corridors, and halls with magnetic surfaces, there are no known mannequins that have magnets attached to them to enhance the design in a realistic atmosphere where people are present, allowing the mannequin's pose to be freely changed by bending and extending, or to be freely attached to different locations. Furthermore, while magnets are used for joint bending, there are no known mannequins that are magnetically attached to walls or other surfaces in a dynamic state.

[0009] It has been reported that documents, tools, furniture, and other items can be magnetically attached to magnetic surfaces. However, in many cases, the magnetic force between the magnet and the magnetic surface was insufficient, making it difficult to magnetize large or heavy objects. Recently, rare-earth magnets have been developed with high residual magnetic flux density (Br) or coercivity (Hc), enabling strong magnetic attachment and allowing for the magnetization of large or heavy objects. Furthermore, magnetic surfaces that can strongly attract magnets are being developed. For example, being able to attach something like a mannequin to a wall can change the atmosphere in many ways. In particular, from a sales perspective, the clothing and accessories to be sold can be dressed on mannequins and displayed on the walls of the store. The mannequins can be freely posed and in various positions, and can be securely attached to the wall with magnets, making it easy to create poses such as climbing a wall like a bouldering wall or performing a jump attack in volleyball. Furthermore, if the entire wall surface of the store is made of a magnetic material, it is possible to display as many mannequins as fit on the wall. The magnetic mannequins can be freely attached and removed, allowing for a wide range of configurations.

[0010] Generally, magnetic surfaces have not been used much in commercial settings, and have only been used for convenience and decorative purposes in the home. Therefore, their application can be expanded to a wide range of areas, from household and lifestyle use to sports, event, retail, and entertainment / performing arts settings. Currently, they are not used for decorative purposes on walls in stores and other commercial establishments. Their use in commercial settings is almost nonexistent. The effect of magnetic surface decorations and magnetized mannequins can be seen in commercial settings. Attaching magnetized mannequins to bare walls in a room can add brightness and change the atmosphere. It is expected to help increase the customer's sense of surprise.

[0011] This invention was made in view of the circumstances described above, and is a lightweight mannequin doll whose hands, arms, legs, ankles, neck, and head can be freely bent and deformed, and which can be attached to a decorative magnetic plate, a magnetic decorative plate. By embedding or attaching magnets to the appropriate positions of the mannequin doll body corresponding to the hands, arms, legs, feet, torso, and head, or by using a magnetic mounting guide stand to attach it to a magnetic surface material, the magnetic mannequin doll body, when magnetized on a wall, will have increased dynamic decorative appeal, change the atmosphere and alter the situation inside the room. The purpose is to use the magnetic material of the mannequin doll to enhance imagination and insight by magnetically attaching it to a decorative magnetic plate. [Means for solving the problem]

[0012] A life-size or near-life-size, lightweight mannequin with freely flexible and extendable hands, arms, legs, ankles, wrists, and head, capable of being magnetically attached to a wall surface containing soft magnetic material. The mannequin body is divided into five parts: head, hands, arms, legs, and torso. Hard magnetic material is attached and embedded in the central positions of the hands, arms, elbows, legs / feet, chest, back, torso, and head, enabling dynamic movement and poses such as sports, walking, and climbing. Alternatively, a magnetic mounting guide stand can be used to magnetically attach the mannequin body to the wall surface.

[0013] The magnetic mannequin body is made of a resin body selected from foamed polystyrene, polypropylene resin, urethane resin, and FRP resin, and is a life-size or near-life-size mannequin body in which the head, neck, hands, wrists, fingers, arms, legs, and ankles can be freely bent, extended, and deformed, and is made of a resin body and a skeletal metal body that represent the appearance of a human body by combining the resins, distinguishing between the dynamic and static parts of the human body, and 1 to 30 of the hard magnetic material is attached to the surface and back of the central and tip parts of each of the five parts of the mannequin body (head, hands / arms, legs, and torso) where they come into contact with the wall, so that the total weight is 20 kg or less, or the weight including the magnetic mounting stand guide that protrudes from the mannequin body to support the mannequin body is 30 kg or less.

[0014] The magnets used to attach and mount the mannequin body are rare-earth elements. They consist of 1 to 30 individual circular or angular magnets with a thickness of 2 to 50 mm and a width and diameter of 2 to 100 mm, or a sheet of hard magnetic material with a width of 2 to 200 mm is attached to form a magnetic layer. These hard magnetic materials have a residual magnetic flux density (Br) of 10 to 13 kG, a coercivity (Hc) of 5 to 15 kOe, and a maximum energy product (BHmax) of 10 to 40 MGOe.

[0015] The base material constituting the wall surface containing soft magnetic material is wood-based, resin-based, or inorganic-based, and the magnetic material is a laminated magnetic surface material using a steel plate with a thickness of 50 to 800 μm, a rubber-based material mixed with iron powder, or a paint or resin mixed with iron. The decorative or finished surface allows mannequin figures to be attached to the wall surface in various magnetic arrangements according to lifestyle, sports, events, shops, or performing arts. [Effects of the Invention]

[0016] A mannequin doll that is full-sized or nearly so, lightweight, and can freely bend, stretch, and deform its hands, arms, feet, ankles, wrists, and head, and can adhere to a decorative magnetic plate that is a magnetized decorative board. A hard magnetic magnet is fitted, pasted, or adhered to the magnetic body using a mounting guide stand with a magnet at appropriate positions corresponding to the five parts of the mannequin doll: the hands and arms, the arms, the legs and feet, the torso, and the head. The mannequin doll body can be used in various magnetic dynamic arrangements and configurations for lifestyle, sports, event, store, or entertainment and show business styles.

[0017] Put the clothes you want to sell or the clothes you want to promote, or accessories on the above mannequin doll and display them on the wall inside the store's showcase window. The mannequin doll can pose freely and look good, and can adhere firmly to the wall with a magnet, so it can look like climbing a wall like rock climbing, or a mannequin doll wearing sports equipment and clothes can easily perform sports movements on the wall. Also, if the entire wall of the showcase window is a magnetically adsorbed decorative board, you can also decorate mannequin dolls that only need to be pasted on the wall, and it is free to change the clothes, appearance, or attach and detach the mannequin doll.

Embodiments for Carrying out the Invention

[0019] The present invention is a magnetized mannequin human form with a changeable decorative form that enhances the design by changing the arrangement of various mannequin human forms attached to a magnetic body material, with a design pattern and form that enhances the design in the atmosphere of a room, corridor, hall, or washroom.

Examples

[0020] As shown in FIG. 5, a mannequin human form that is of approximately the same height or close to it, lightweight, and can freely bend and stretch its hands, arms, feet, ankles, wrists, and head, and is a mannequin human form that can be magnetically attached to a wall containing a soft magnetic material. In the mannequin human form with five parts: the head, hands, arms, legs, and torso, at the central position, hard magnetic materials are fitted or attached by Magic Tape (registered trademark) and adhesive tape at positions that enable dynamic movement and sports-like postures to create a mannequin human form that can be magnetically attached to the wall.

[0021] As shown in FIG. 3, the magnetized mannequin human form is composed by joining a foamed styrene resin to the torso part, a polypropylene resin to the head part, and urethane resin shaped bodies to the hand / arm parts and leg / foot parts. It is made into a mannequin human form of approximately the same height as an average person and weighing 20 kg or less. Also, the hand / arm parts and leg / foot parts of the mannequin human form with a neck, hands, wrists, arms, feet, and ankles that can freely bend, stretch, and deform are made into hollow bodies of urethane resin foam so that the hands and feet can freely bend, stretch, and deform, creating a dynamic mannequin human form that shows a human-like appearance and can operate. Neodymium rare earth magnets in the shape of circular discs with a diameter of 30 mm and a thickness of 5 mm are embedded on the front and back surfaces near the center and tip of each of the head, hands, arms, and feet of the mannequin human form, with 10 on the front side and 13 on the side, making the magnetized mannequin human form weigh 20 kg or less.

[0022] As shown in Figure 5, the base material for the soft magnetic wall material on the wall surface is a plywood-based material, and the soft magnetic material is a laminated soft magnetic wall material made by laminating 0.5 mm decorative paper onto a 300 μm steel plate. The final surface is decorated or made up, and in the style of volleyball, the magnets attached to the feet / legs and hands / arms are magnetically attached to the soft magnetic wall material on the wall surface, and the entire mannequin is firmly supported by a magnetic guide stand at the waist, creating a dynamic mannequin that can be posed in a sporting manner. In addition, magnets can be attached to the wall side of the ball, and the magnetic arrangement can be used to simulate the jump attack state in volleyball.

[0023] The magnets used to attach and mount the mannequin body are elemental neodymium rare-earth magnets. Twenty-three circular magnets, each 5mm thick and 30mm in diameter, are embedded to form the magnetic layer. These rare-earth hard magnetic materials have a residual magnetic flux density (Br) of 10kG, coercivity (Hc) of 13kOe, and maximum energy product (BHmax) of 30MGOe. This allows the mannequin body to firmly magnetize against the soft magnetic wall surface through 5 to 10 points of contact, preventing it from falling. [Examples]

[0024] As shown in Figure 4, in the same manner as in Example 1, a laminated soft magnetic wall material was constructed by attaching a 300 μm steel plate soft magnetic material to a plywood wood-based soft magnetic wall material, and then laminating 0.5 mm decorative paper to the surface. The arms of a mannequin were removed, magnets were inserted into two to three places on the arms, and the material was attached. It was confirmed that the mannequin's arms were strongly and firmly magnetically attached to the wall material. [Examples]

[0025] As shown in Figure 2, the mannequin was life-sized, lightweight, and had a dynamic design that allowed for free bending, extension, and deformation of the hands, arms, feet, ankles, neck, and head. It was a magnetic mannequin body that could be attached to a magnetic surface material, and a magnet was attached to the back of the base plate surface of the stand guide that protruded from the mannequin body, supporting the entire mannequin body that was magnetically attached to the magnetic surface material.

[0026] The magnetizable mannequin body is constructed from polystyrene foam, polypropylene resin, urethane resin, or FRP, and is life-sized or nearly life-sized in shape, weighing less than 20 kg. The mannequin body exhibits a human-like appearance that allows for free flexion, extension, and deformation of the neck, hands, wrists, arms, legs, and ankles. The total weight, including the stand guide protruding from the mannequin body, the magnetic mounting stand guide supporting the entire mannequin body, and the base plate, is less than 30 kg.

[0027] The magnets used to attach the magnetized mannequin body and mounting stand guide are rare-earth elements. Three circular magnets, each 100 mm thick, are attached to form a magnetic layer. The magnets used are neodymium rare-earth elements with a residual magnetic flux density (Br) of 13 kG, coercivity (Hc) of 8 kOe, and maximum energy product (BHmax) of 30 MGOe.

[0028] The magnetic wall material is wood-based, and is a soft magnetic wall material constructed by laminating 300 μm steel plates as the magnetic material. On the final surface, a decorative surface was used, and mannequin figures were arranged in various magnetization configurations in a store style. [Examples]

[0029] As shown in Figure 5, this is a life-size dynamic mannequin doll that can be freely bent and extended to change shape, and can be magnetically attached to a wall surface containing a soft magnetic material. The mannequin doll is made of five parts: the head, hands, arms, legs, and torso. Hard magnetic material is attached and embedded in the central position of the hands, arms, elbows, legs / feet, chest, back, torso, and head, enabling dynamic movement and climbing.

[0030] The magnetic mannequin body, similar to that in Example 1, is a one-piece resin body composed of various materials selected from expanded polystyrene, polypropylene resin, and urethane resin. It is a life-size mannequin body that can be freely bent, extended, and deformed, exhibiting a human body appearance that allows for movement and poses. As shown in Figure 3, 18 hard magnetic materials are attached to the surface and back of each of the five parts of the mannequin body—the head, hands / arms, legs, and torso—near the center and near the tips, at the points where they contact the wall, and the total weight is 20 kg or less.

[0031] The magnets attached to the mannequin body are made of rare-earth elements. The magnetic layer consists of 18 individual circular magnets, each 5 mm thick and 10 mm in diameter, embedded in a hard magnetic material with a residual magnetic flux density (Br) of 10 kG and a coercivity (Hc) of 15 kOe. The base material constituting the wall surface containing the soft magnetic material is wood-based, and the magnetic material is a laminated magnetic wall material using 300 μm steel plates. The finished surface allows mannequin figures to be attached to the wall surface in a sporty manner using various magnetic attachment arrangements. [Explanation of symbols]
