Abstract:
The present invention teaches an inflatable body representative of at least the upper portion of a human form including a plastic inflatable exoskeleton with an inner side and an outer side molded to represent a torso, a head and appendages. Additionally, inserting members are located on either the inside or the outside of the plastic exoskeleton and are capable of receiving elongated inserts. These elongated inserts may be flexible wire, wooden dowels, plastic rods or any other suitable material. The invention also includes a device to inflate the exoskeleton. The inflation device can assume several different embodiments in which either a sealed exoskeleton is inflated, or an exoskeleton with an open release valve is continuously inflated.
