ABSTRACT:
A multidisplay globe comprising a globular body including a globe spherical surface representing the earth, support means for mounting the globular body, and spherical film overlays removably mounted over the globe spherical surface for displaying selected features related to the earth. Each film overlay is preferably in two units comprising the northern and southern hemispheres of the earth. The spherical film overlays include one, two or more transparent film overlays each of which has a spherical surface one of which is removably mounted over the spherical earth surface and in turn each further film overlay is further removably mounted one over the other. The selected features related to the earth spherical surface are imprinted on the spherical surfaces of each of the film overlays. The film overlays are transparent, flexible, stretchable, and biasable so that one film overlay can be mounted over another film over and when each film overlay is removed from the mounted position it will return to the original flexible configuration and can be folded and stored in a small space. Selected rigid overlays can optionally be used. Flexible and opaque overlays of the planets of the solar system including the moon of the earth can optionally be provided for mounting onto a blank globular body.
