| Claims 1. Dummy having an upper (7) and a lower (3) part, the lower part having feet (5) and legs (4), said dummy is formed in a lightweight material, characterized in, that the lower part (3) of the dummy is formed with a ballast (5,7) having a weight that is sufficient to let the dummy standalone. 2. Dummy according to claim 1, characterized in, that the ballast constitutes of the feet (6). 3. Dummy according to claim 1 - 2, characterized in, that the ballast constitutes of the feet (6) and part of the legs (4). 4. Dummy according to claim 1, characterized in, that the feet (6) is fixed to the ballast (7). 5. Dummy according to claim 1 - 4, characterized in, that the ballast (7) is a hemisphere. 6. Dummy according to claim 5, characterized in, that the hemisphere (7) is filled with water or sand or is formed in a solid material. |
The invention relates to a dummy having an upper and a lower part, the lower part having feet and legs, said dummy is formed in a lightweight material.
DK 2012 00141 discloses a dummy that is formed in a lightweight material, said dummy can be consist of several parts such as arms, legs body and so forth.
This lightweight dummy is formed in a magnetic influentially material that makes it suitable for placing the dummy on a wall having magnetic properties.
I case that the dummy should be used at an exhibition where a wall not having magnetic properties or in case the dummy should be placed freely it is a problem that the dummy cannot standalone.
It is therefore an object with the invention to solve this problem maintaining the advantages the lightweight dummy has.
The object is fulfilled according to the invention with a dummy of the kind defined in the introductory part of claim 1, that is characterised in, that the lower part of the dummy is formed with a ballast having a weight that is sufficient to let the dummy standalone.
It is expedient, as stated in claim 2, that that the ballast constitutes of the feet, and as stated in claim 3, that the ballast constitutes of the feet and part of the legs.
If the whole dummy is formed in a lightweight material and the dummy should be used as a standalone dummy, then is advantageous if, as stated in claim 4, that the feet is fixed to the ballast, or, as stated in claim 5, that the ballast is a hemisphere that being, as stated in claim 6, filled with water or sand or is formed in a solid material.
The invention will now be more fully explained in connection with the drawing in which
Fig. 1 shows a dummy according to the invention in a first embodiment, whereas
Fig. 2 shows the dummy according to the invention in a second embodiment.
On the figures 1 denotes in its entity a dummy (sometimes called a dress form), according to the invention.
As it can be seen, the dummy 1 consists of an upper part 2 and a lower par 3, where the lower part 3 comprises legs 4 and feet 5,6 and eventually a ballast (7), (fig. 2).
The feet 5 is formed as a ballast in a material having a weight that is sufficient so the dummy can stand can be placed upright without needing further support.
In the fig 2 embodiment the feet is formed in the same lightweight material as the other parts of the dummy, but the feet is fixed to a hemisphere 7, eventually having an hole with a filler closure 8 used in connection with supplying water sand or the like to the hemisphere.
The hemisphere can also be formed as a parachute foot.
