    Abstract: A manikin (mannequin) with limbs that magnetically attach to the torso by an assembly of an attach base mounted on the torso and a lead-in base on the limb. Magnets of one Pole are accommodated within the attach base, and of the opposite Pole within the lead-in base. The magnets attract corresponding magnets of the opposite Pole, thus facilitating self-aligning action of the magnets, whose depth-of-pull force is not more then 80 Gauss. The attach and lead-in bases have regulating force means, being a layer of flux shield placed over the magnets, that can adjust the attachment force of the magnets for different situations. The flux shield controls magnetic flux density and attachment force of the magnets. Attach and lead-in bases are provided with a complimentary guiding means to give an assembler a sense of touch through fabric to understand where a terminus of the limbs is with respect to the torso when forming a joint.
