In such articles essentially intended for tourists, it is desirable that the background as well as that illustrated Object are not only adapted to the point of sale, but also to the tastes of the customers. Bs is therefore already It has been proposed to design these articles so that the decorative motifs having the shape of views are easily interchanged because then the manufacturers or the sellers of these mass-produced articles depending on their destination with a view of local character can be provided, whereby the object shown is detachably attached «

Thus, such an article is already known, which is formed by a plurality of containers which "* are placed together so that Z ₀ B. produces a spherical or elliptical arrangement, being arranged between the containers ornamental motifs which are not in the liquid. Furthermore, a souvenir article of round or oval shape has been produced in which a likewise transparent hollow frame or a G-lock is provided within and in the center of the sphere in order to accommodate interchangeable pictures or objects. The arrangement then has three compartments or two chambers, of which the central compartment or the central bell is not filled with liquid, the liquid being poured into the compartments intended to accommodate them through openings provided in the flat base connected to the central compartment not, these openings being closed by rubber stoppers rden.

These known designs initially have the disadvantage that they are relatively difficult to manufacture. Further the hollow frame forming the central section necessarily has more or less curved walls so that the views inserted in it cannot lie flat.

The invention aims to address these disadvantages by having a souvenir ball provided with a snow filling, which are easy and considerably cheaper to manufacture is"

The egg-shaped ball according to the invention is remarkable in that that it has a simple flat partition on the inside, which is about a third of the minor axis of the egg-shaped Ball is provided and a first department for Aufnähme.der. the view forming the background, which can be closed by a flexible plug of elongated shape, and a second division is determined, the volume of which corresponds to about two thirds of the total internal volume, and which above iii '«- has a small opening that can be closed by a small rubber stopper with a flattened head, the transparent Ball is mounted on a base made of a relatively resilient material which is grooved in such a way, that its lower edge and the end of the partition are slightly clamped, the base being the closable opening has to introduce the view and carries the representation, which is or is not in the liquid, wherein the outer surface of the first department can be painted to hide the back of the view »

The invention is explained below by B _{na EPU} g] _{ame o} f _e cLj_ drawing by way of example.

Jig, 4 and 4a show in plan view and in section, respectively, the resilient plug of the small compartment "in a larger one Scale.

In the example shown, the object of the invention consists of an egg-shaped shell made of a transparent plastic 1, in which there is a co-molded partition 2, which this envelope divided into two compartments 3 and 4, the volume of which is roughly in the ratio 1: 3, and an oval base of one somewhat flexible plastic 5, which on its upper side with a rage 6 running along its length and with a rectilinear hat 7 is provided, which with a take up the shell 1 and the partition 2 with very little restraint.

The shell 1 has a hole 8 above, which through a small plug 9 with a flat head made of a flexible plastic can be closed so that the compartment can be filled with the usual colorless liquid, 'which contains in suspension the snow-mimicking particles' The envelope covers the representation to be fastened on the base 5 within the compartment 4.

The base 5 has, at the location of the compartment 3, an elongated recess 10 for the introduction of the background forming View 11. To protect this view from dust, a plug 12 made of a flexible plastic is provided, which fits into the recess 10 »

The back of the view 11 can be covered by the fact that the back of the department 3 by a coat of paint is made opaque "

The subject of the invention can apparently be mass-produced and sold in any location since the Merchant of the place in question can insert the desired representation and a corresponding view in it, taking into account significant landscapes or monuments as well as the tastes of local customers. The article can of course also produce the snow effect liquid included.

Furthermore, the outside of the compartment 3 does not need to be opaque to be made to hide the back of the view, but it can be a sheet in this department which contains information or Y / erbe texts, whereby the representation corresponds to the relevant information or the Advertising can be adapted, but such an article, intended essentially as a souvenir, can also be simple "have an artistic or an ornamental effect.

The base forming the base can have a decorative trim, and the entire article can receive a purely decorative motif _{at certain points Z 0} B _0.
