DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION

(6) Referring now to the drawings, where the present invention is generally referred to with numeral 10, it can be observed that it basically includes a neck assembly 20, joining assembly 40, a support assembly 60 and various exemplary embodiments (100) thereof. It should be understood there are modifications and variations of the invention that are too numerous to be listed but that all fit within the scope of the invention. Also, singular words should be read as plural and vice versa and masculine as feminine and vice versa, where appropriate, and alternative embodiments do not necessarily imply that the two are mutually exclusive.

(7) Neck assembly 20 includes a support 22, a clamping lock 24, a strap 26 and a neck support 28. In an exemplary embodiment, the support 22 may have a cylindrical shape with a hollow body, nonetheless any other suitable shape that may fit into the open bottom of the mannequin head 100. As shown in FIG. 1. In a suitable embodiment, the support 22 may be made of hard plastic, carbon fiber, wood, aluminum, steel, or any other suitable material to support the weight of the mannequin head 100. In a preferred embodiment, the neck support 28 may be attached to a bottom edge of the support 22, wherein the neck support 28 may be a L-shaped support made of hard plastic, carbon fiber, wood, aluminum, steel, or any other suitable material to support a portion of the mannequin's neck. As best depicted in FIG. 1. It should be considered that the support 22 and the neck support 28 may be integrally formed, thereby the internal opening of the mannequin head 100 may receive the support 22 and the base 28b of the L-shaped neck support 28 in conjunction with the wall 28a thereof, may provide further support to the mannequin head 100.
