Doll stand where you can keep the head on

[tiaria]

Hellos!

I was thinking a way to store/pose a doll standing for long periods of time in a way where the head can be attached and switched.

The support goes under the neck, stretching the neck just a little. Support would be around 5mm thick metal, so it fits there easily.

I first though just to hang the doll from the support, but that would tilt the head down when hanging/lifting.

There fore the vertical pole has to be upright with a hanging-support that would be tiltable, so that you can adjust the neck position (doll looking up/down).

The vertical pole height could be adjustable, to lift the doll and to enable different poses.

Would the neck bolt mount withstand this force?

Any thoughts?

Here's a crude drawing of my idea:

After some thinking I believe that the vertical pole could be replaced with a adjustable counterweight, and then you could hang the doll from any wire attached to the pivot point.

planning to use something like this, but with telescopic boom (it attaches to wall and handles a fuk-ton of weight):

Interesting idea. Not sure about the option to tilt it. In that case the pivot point has to go up or down or the doll will go up or down.
I think the neck bold will withstand it, but will the neck withstand? Especially when it is a goose neck.

Not sure if I understand your second idea. Do you want to balance the doll with a counterweight on the horizontal pole and then just hang it on the pivot point? As soon as you remove the head it will get unbalanced.

WIth counterweight the lift to the neck could be adjusted so, that the pulling force is straight upwards

adjusting the weight, the head can tilt forward / backward

you can then adjust the height by pulling the rope up/down

here's another (shitty) picture

Weight adjustment could be easily done with weight lifting weights that can be moved on the axle
