A mannequin pose control computer-implemented method, system, and computer program product, includes reading clothing data of an article of clothing on a mannequin, determining a pose for the mannequin by associating the clothing data with a record in a database that includes the pose for the mannequin, and changing a current pose of the mannequin to match the pose for the mannequin based on the record in the database.

A garment manikin (mannequin) limb catcher to prevent damage to manikin limbs caused by accidental bumps once the limb is attached to a manikin torso. In situations where a manikin limb is attached to a torso by magnets, a bump to the limb can break the magnetic holding force, thus causing the limb to fall. This invention describes a limb with lead-in pin that has a bent tip, the pin being inserted into a hole on the torso. If bumped, the bent tip will catch on the hole's rim and prevent the limb from falling. In another variant, the torso can have the lead-in pin with a bend, and the limb has a hole. The pin with a bent tip acts as a catching element, and the hole acts as a stopping element.

A limb and torso docking arrangement for a manikin comprising a first connecting part for connection with a limb (30) of the manikin a second connecting part for connection with a torso (not shown) of the manikin. The invention is distinctive in that the first connecting part includes a pin and a guide element protruding from the first connector part and a first plug part for electrical, and/or pneumatic transmission and/or liquid between the limb and the torso, the second connecting part includes an opening and a groove adapted to respectively receive the pin and the guide element of the first connecting part, the second connecting part further comprises a second plug part, the first plug part and second part being positioned on the respective first connecting part and the second connecting part so that the plug parts is adapted to mate when the first connecting part and second connecting part being connected, the thigh and pelvis docking arrangement further comprises a locking arrangement adapted to lock the first connecting part and the second connecting part together after being connected.

The present disclosure relates to a device and method for measuring the thermal properties of different types of shoes. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to an improved foot manikin comprising a foot shaped member and a shin element. The foot shaped member is connected to the shin element via an ankle joint. The foot shaped member further comprises a metatarsal phalangeal joint connecting a toe portion of the foot shaped member with the rest of the foot shaped member.

Provided is an intelligent breast adjustment model. The model includes a model main structure provided with a pressure sensor and a model periphery structure provided on the model main structure. The model main structure includes an upper portion, a middle portion and a lower portion. A first motor of the middle portion controls an up and down movement of a left breast model through a first gear. A second motor of the middle portion controls an up and down movement of a right breast model through a second gear, and a third motor of the middle portion simultaneously controls a left and right movement of the left breast model and the right breast model through a drive structure. A method for assembling the intelligent breast adjustment model is disclosed.
