Claims
- 1. A two dimensional drawing board manikin, comprising: a head member; a neck member pivotably connected to said head member; an upper torso member pivotably connected to said neck member; a middle torso member pivotably connected to said upper torso member; a lower torso member pivotably connected to said middle torso member; means for restricting movement of the head, neck, upper torso member, middle torso member and lower torso member to anatomically correct positions; an upper leg member pivotably connected to said lower torso member at a position approximately corresponding to the hip joint; a lower leg member pivotably connected to said upper leg member at a position approximately corresponding to the knee joint; a foot member connected to said lower leg member at a position approximately corresponding to the ankle joint; an upper arm member movably and pivotably connected to the upper torso member at positions corresponding to positions which may be assumed by the shoulder joint; a lower arm member pivotably connected to said upper arm member at a position approximately corresponding to the elbow joint; a hand member pivotably connected to said lower arm member at a position approximately corresponding to the wrist joint; said manikin including means, on said head member, said torso members and said leg members, for providing two opposite substantially flat surfaces adapted to lay flat on a drawing board.
- 2. The device as recited in claim 1 wherein the head to neck pivot is located at a position approximately corresponding to the atlanto-occipital interspace; the neck to upper torso pivot is located at a position approximately corresponding to the cervical 7-Thoracic 1 vertebral interspace; the upper torso to middle torso pivot is located at a position approximately corresponding to the Thoracic 8 and 9 vertebral interspace and the middle torso to lower torso pivot is located at a position approximately corresponding to the lumbar 3 and 4 vertebral interspace.
- 3. The device as recited in claim 2 including a shoulder envelope slot in said upper torso member; said upper arm member having an elongated slot extending longitudinally at the upper end thereof; means adjacent said shoulder envelope and said elongated slot for indicating the normal shoulder arm pivot position and arm extended forward position and arm fully extended forward position.
- 4. The device as recited in claim 2 including means for shortening the torso when the manikin is moved from an erect position to a slumped position; said means for shortening the torso including a pivot pin secured to the upper torso member movable in a slot in the middle torso member to provide relative movement of the pivot with respect to the middle torso member; a guide slot on one of said members having a first curved portion having its center at the upper position of said movable pivot, a second portion having its center at the lower position of said movable pivot and an additional portion interconnecting said first portion and said second portion.
- 5. The device as recited in claim 4 including a shoulder envelope slot in said upper torso member; said upper arm member having an elongated slot extending longitudinally at the upper end thereof; means adjacent said shoulder envelope and said elongated slot for indicating the normal shoulder arm pivot position and arm extended forward position and arm fully extended forward position.
- 6. The device as recited in claim 5 wherein said means for restricting movement of the head, the neck, the upper torso member, the middle torso member and the lower torso member to anatomically correct positions includes limit motion stops on said members; said upper leg member including limit motion stops for restricting movement of the upper leg to anatomically correct positions; said foot member including limit motion stops for restricting movement of said foot to anatomically correct positions; said hand member including limit motion stops for restricting movement of the hand to anatomically correct positions; said upper leg member and said lower leg member including limit motion stops for limiting rearward movement of the lower leg member to anatomically correct positions and stop means on said upper arm member for limiting forward movement of the lower arm member to anatomically correct positions; means for indicating the eye position; means for indicating the ear position and means for indicating the position of the carotid sinus; position indicating means adjacent each of the manikin pivots; means on said upper torso member and said middle torso member for substantially tracking the position of the aortic valves.
