Abstract: A clothing form or mannequin comprising a laminar construction spine including left and right outer spine sections and a central spine section, which are of laminar form and in profile are generally similar to the side profile of a human spine. A plurality of spaced parallel slots extend inwardly from the forward-facing edges of the spine sections, which slots are identically located in each of the spine sections so as to be in registration when the spine sections are positioned side-by-side so as to define a plurality of sets of aligned slots. A flat modular lamina is positioned in each slot at a right angle to the spine. The laminae are configured to resemble cross-sections of a human torso at different positions along the length of a human spine, each of the laminae corresponding to a specific one of the sets of slots in the spine sections, so that the laminae as positioned in the spine give the appearance of a stylized human torso.

Abstract: Display apparatus includes at least two longitudinally extending members for operation in a vertical position, including at least four panel holders with two each of the holders secured to each member. A panel is held at its corners by each holder to extend between the longitudinally extending members. The panel holders include a facing pair of substantially rigid plates having substantially flat opposing surfaces, a rigid member separating and interconnecting the plates, including dividing protrusions to divide the volume between the plates into segments. A clamping mechanism extends from one of the flat plates toward the other and moveably held in relation to the other plate to clamp in place any member held within the volume between the two plates.

A panel is held at its corners by each holder to extend between the longitudinally extending members. The panel holders include a facing pair of substantially flat, rigid plates, a rigid central member separating and interconnecting the plates, including dividing protrusions to divide the volume between the plates into pre-shaped sections. A clamping mechanism extends from one of the flat plates toward the other and movably held in relation to the other plate to clamp in place any member held within the volume between the two plates.
