Description

Baby dummy for teaching and practicing suspended child massage.

Technical sector

Mannequins infant massage

State of the art

The dolls or and the baby dummy that exist in currently they prove inadequate to solve important Children's massage needs. While the existing baby dummy It was an important step towards the solution of needs derived from infant massage, practice is showing that It has such important defects that it is not suitable for performing more important massage exercises every day like They are suspended massages. It is missing then in the current state of the technique a baby dummy that meets the new needs of the infant massage

Explanation of the invention. Technical problem

The existing baby dummy today raises several unsolved technical problems that disturb the massage practice in the conditions of naturalness and affectivity with what should be practiced, when they do not prevent the realization of new Massage techniques such as suspended massage. Thus presents some excessively rigid head-down movements, which subtracts naturalness in certain massage positions, when change from one position to another for different types of massage, or when massage exercises should be performed on the neck and part shoulder center. These defects are made particularly evident when massages are performed in a suspended position.

Similarly, the dummy's head lacks the resistance and resilience needed for massages head, since the plastic that makes up the head sinks with excessive ease and does not recover quickly and naturally adequate. This defect makes the dummy useless for good number of head massages.

Moreover, when you wash the dummy in wet, water enters the head hole leaving residue and moisture that, in addition to damaging the inside of the baby, blacken its natural color and frequently gives off odors that disturb the natural and pleasant sensations that should surround the practice of infant massage

As regards the body and trunk of the mannequin is observed to have excessive rigidities in the massages of trunk, legs and arms. The trunk is left with a shape and unnatural position, excessively flat and rectangular for a Baby in massage positions. The trunk suffers from references front and the seams that cross it are inadequate for the tactile positioning during massage. Legs and arms of the dummy have an excessively bent fall in the union between the trunk and the limbs, which gives the feeling of broken legs and arms, when raised or put in positions of Suspended on the arm. It also cheats the touch in the massages of hip and shoulders, and the upper parts of the legs and arms.

Nor do the hands have the right characteristics. Missing a hand that, without the need to change hands, allows you to move from the inner massage to the outside of the hand with adequate access to all fingers and their
parts

Finally, it is observed that the weight of the dummy current is inappropriate, which when handled during the massage makes It looks more like a doll than a baby.

Proposed solution

For the solution of technical problems mentioned, a doll's head with a stuffed balls 1.5 mm polystirene, loose, without bag, combined with fiber 10 cm acrylic to prevent them from moving (20 and 21 in Fig. 7), of so that they fill the hollow of the head; and close your head tightly by the base of the neck with a PVC pressure buffer (22 and 23 in Figs. 5 and 6). The combination of air pressure, pellets 10 cm polystirene and acrylic fiber. present the degree of Fair density so that the PVC of the face presents a resistance and natural recovery similar to that of a baby's face, at the same time that give the head the right weight to recreate a fall and a natural movement

Facing the issues raised in the trunk and in the extremities, several solutions are proposed. A 10 cm acrylic body of the neck area and between shoulders (24 in Fig. 7) which, closed with relaxed seams (with little density between the points) in the neck, shoulders and hips of the dummy, allows to respond better to the movements that will lead the New head design. This combination finds a balance which, while allowing a wide range of movements, what Get without artificiality and with a normal speed.

The problems of stiffness and framing of trunk, is resolved by placing the polystirene grain filling of fine grain of 1.5 mm. in a pear-shaped inner bag that, with the correct density, favors the belly effect without detriment of volume and stiffness of the shoulders (28 in Fig. 7). It contributes to this also the design of the patterns that define the central body, which, to enable a natural belly effect without deform other parts of the body, have medium dilations cm. in the front and in the lower part (Fig. 1 and 7).

To solve the problem of lack of tactile references on the front of the trunk, a central seamless trunk (1 in Fig. 7), and a navel is defined in its natural position, what is achieved by defining an embroidery circulate between the two body fabrics (inside and outside) with Acrylic fiber inside and a thick point embroidered on the center (16 in Fig. 1 and l7 to 19 in Figs. 2 to 4)).

The problem of the artificial fall of limbs are resolved by placing 10 cm acrylic fiber. transferring from one part to another with the midpoint in it joint (25 and 26 in Fig. 7), giving this mass of fiber the articulation the right density for, in combination with the force of seams, achieve fall and natural movement, crimping the ends with the fiber of the body and the limbs and increasing the fiber density of the extremities of the extremities. The seams of the patterns that link body and limbs are also define loosely to achieve natural fall, not broken, with arms and limbs (Figs. 1 and 7).

A hand is defined in a semi-closed position that, thanks to its size and the reliefs and pronouncements of its parts and to the exact position of your fingers, allows you to pass the massage from inside to outside on the same hand, which is very important for the practice of some massage exercises (42 in Figs. 7 and 43 in Figs. 8 and 9).

And finally, with the sum of the different elements that make up the dummy are looking to reach a weight of 1,550 gr. which gives more naturalness to the handling of the dummy during the massage.
