A storage device for insertion within a cavity in a mannequin component, the storage device including a body having a receptacle for receiving items associated with said mannequin component, and a lid for closing the receptacle to enclose the items within the storage device.

A stackable gear support stand may be provided. The stackable gear support stand may have an elongated central member, a bottom leg member, a top leg member, and a cross member. The bottom leg member, top leg member, and cross member may be stacked horizontally on a vertically oriented central member to form a working support stand. The bottom leg member, top leg member, and cross member may alternatively be stacked coaxially on the central member to form a collapsed storage and transportation orientation.

The invention relates to a mannequin for presenting or photographing at least one clothing article (K) arranged appropriately on the mannequin (1), with a front side (10) and a back side (11) facing away from the front side (10). It is provided according to the invention that the mannequin (1) has at least one continuous cutout (100, 101) such that the back side (11) of the mannequin (1) is not visible in a plan view of the front side (10) of the mannequin (1) from a predefinable line of sight (3) in the area of at least one cutout (100, 101).

A composite body is provided that includes a rigid polyurethane foam shell and an elastomeric polyurethane layer disposed over the rigid polyurethane foam shell. The rigid polyurethane foam shell defines a cavity within the composite body. The rigid polyurethane foam shell has a closed cell content of at least 70% and comprises the reaction product of a first isocyanate component and a first isocyanate-reactive component in the presence of a blowing agent. The elastomeric polyurethane layer is disposed over the polyurethane foam shell. The elastomeric polyurethane layer comprises the reaction product of a second isocyanate component and a second isocyanate-reactive component. A method of forming the composite body includes the step of molding the rigid polyurethane foam shell, demolding the rigid polyurethane foam shell from the mold, and applying an elastomeric polyurethane composition upon the rigid polyurethane foam shell after demolding to form the elastomeric polyurethane layer.

A manikin (mannequin) with limbs that magnetically attach to the torso by an assembly of an attach base mounted on the torso and a lead-in base on the limb. Magnets of one Pole are accommodated within the attach base, and of the opposite Pole within the lead-in base. The magnets attract corresponding magnets of the opposite Pole, facilitating self-aligning of the magnets, whose depth-of-pull force is not over 80 Gauss. The attach and lead-in bases can regulate the attraction force via a layer of flux shield over the magnets for various applications. Attach and lead-in bases have complimentary guiding means to give an assembler a sense of touch through fabric to understand where the limbs are with respect to the torso when forming a joint. The lead-in pin hooks the limb into the torso, allowing limbs to pivot and return to their original position if bumped.
