Abstract
The present specification discloses an articulated figure comprising a plurality of body and limb components pivotally attached to each other and formed from flexible magnetic rubber of such a thickness that the maximum possible surface to surface contact can be achieved between the components and a metallic surface to which the figure is to be adhered. The components are connected by rivets passing with clearance through holes therein.
Claims7
An articulated figure comprising a body component and a plurality of limb components pivotally attached to the body component, characterised in that at least said limb components are formed from flexible magnetic material, the flexibility of said magnetic material being such that the maximum possible surface to surface contact can be achieved between at least said limb components and a flat magnetically attractive surface by virtue of the magnetic attraction between said limb components and said magnetically attractive surface, said limb components therefore being held in any articulated position by said magnetic attraction, said limb components being attached to freely pivot relative to said body component by means of rivets passing with clearance through holes in said body component and said limb components.
