PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and relating to Terrestrial and Oelestial Globes.
I, ANTOINE VICTOR DENCÉDE of Boulevard Henri IV Paris in the Republic
of France Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows
Heretofore terrestrial and celestial globes have usually been made of papier
maché or other solid and heavy substance in the form of spheres with slips of paper
bearing the map fastened on the surface. The improved globes are intended to be
lighter and more durable since they are not so easily damaged or broken by a fall
or blow etc.
The improved globes are made of celluloid either by making the globe of
celluloid in the usual way and fastening the paper strips forming the map on the
outside of the said globe, and covering them with a protecting surface of celluloid,
or else by making two hemispheres of celluloid and fastening the strips of paper
bearing the map in the inside prior to joining the two hemispheres together as a
whole sphere.
In place of using paper strips as aforesaid the map may be printed by means of
coutchouc plates or otherwise direct on or in the celluloid sphere or hemispheres,
or the map may be printed or traced onto paper strips after they are fastened on
the sphere.
Such improved globes may be mounted in the usual way or they may be left
entirely without mounts, or by passing a spindle through them they may be made
into tops. They may also be attached by a cord to a handle serving as the toy
called cup and ball."

The annexed drawing shows sections of globes constructed as described.
Fig. 1 shows a simple globe.
Fig. 2 a globe mounted on a stand G.
Fig. 3 a globe strengthened at B and C and traversed by a spindle A ending in
a block D serving as a foot or pivot. E is a holder the whole forming a spinning
top.
Fig. 4 show a globe strengthened at A¹ with a block through which the cord C¹
passes, the said cord being connected to a handle B' with cup D' and pin E', the
latter to enter the socket F in the globe, the whole forming a
toy.
