The model parts supply 1 shown in FIG. 1A is supported by a totally spherical container portion 10 having a hollow portion 11 (see FIG. 2) inside and an inner surface of the container portion 10 and stored in the hollow portion 11. It has, for example, a model part 41 (see FIG. 5) of an airplane 40 (see FIG. 1 (B)) which is a model. The outer surface of the container portion 10 is a spherical surface, and is provided with a design 12 having a map pattern, coloring, or unevenness such as a globe.
In the drawings after FIG. 2, the design 12 is similarly applied to the outer surface 13d of the container portion 10, but the design 12 is omitted for convenience of explanation. Further, in the following description, the position corresponding to the north pole of the globe is represented by "upper pole P1", and the position corresponding to the south pole is represented by "lower pole P2".

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the container portion 10 includes a plurality of ring portions 13 cut by a plane PL orthogonal to the center line CL connecting the upper pole point P1 and the lower pole point P2, and the upper pole point P1 and the lower portion. It has a lid portion 14 including a pole P2 and a coupling means 20 for coupling a plurality of ring portions 13 to form a sphere.
In FIGS. 2 to 4, the model part 41 of the airplane 40 included in the container portion 10 is not shown in detail because it will be described in detail later. Further, in FIG. 4, only one coupling means 20 is shown, but the coupling means 20 is also provided on the opposite side.

Each ring portion 13 has a circular frame shape, and has a large diameter side end surface 13a having a large diameter and a small diameter side end surface 13b having a small diameter. Since the sphere is formed as if it were cut along a plane PL parallel to each other, the large-diameter side end surface 13a and the small-diameter side end surface 13b are parallel to each other.
A lid portion 14 is formed at the upper end portion and the lower end portion including the upper pole point P1 or the lower pole point P2, and only the large-diameter side end surface 13a on the side close to the center point CP of the container portion 10 is formed on the lid portion 14. Is open and the opposite side is not open, so the small diameter side end face 13b does not exist. Further, although the lid portion 14 has an example in which the inner surface is recessed with a certain thickness, the inner surface may be flat.

The inner surface 13c of the ring portion 13 is provided with a rib 16 along the inner surface of the ring portion 13 adjacent to the large diameter side end surface 13a. Therefore, the rib 16 projects from the large-diameter side end surface 13a toward the adjacent ring portion 13. Further, on the outer surface 13d of the ring portion 13, a groove 17 is provided over the entire circumference along the surface passing through the upper pole P1 and the lower pole P2. The bottom surface 17a of the groove 17 is provided with a hole 15 penetrating the ring portion 13 for each ring portion 13.

The lid portion 14 has a circular shape in a plan view and has a concave shape inside. The outer surface 14a of the lid portion 14 is also provided with a groove 17 continuous with the groove 17 of the ring portion 13, and the bottom surface 17a of the groove 17 at the apex portion of the upper lid portion 14 is paired with the upper pole P1 interposed therebetween.

Further, a pair of fixed convex portions 14b are provided on the bottom surface 17a of the groove 17 at the apex portion of the lower lid portion 14 with the lower pole point P2 interposed therebetween. The tip of the fixed convex portion 14b is rounded or thinned.

The container portion 10 has a pair of substantially C-shaped coupling members 21 as the coupling means 20 along the stacking direction of each ring portion 13 and forming a part of the appearance of a substantially spherical body. Each coupling member 21 maintains a state in which the large-diameter side end surface 13a and the small-diameter side end surface 13b of the adjacent ring portions 13 are in contact with each other, and is fitted into the groove 17 of each ring portion 13. Therefore, the coupling member 21 is provided between the upper pole P1 and the lower pole P2, and is urged in a direction in which the upper pole P1 and the lower pole P2 are brought closer to each other.

Therefore, the connecting member 21 is curved with a radius smaller than the outer diameter of the container portion 10 in the unloaded state before being attached to the groove 17, and is elastically deformed so as to expand the connecting member 21 when being attached to the groove 17. Let me install it. As a result, after being attached to the groove 17, the elastic force of the coupling member 21 can urge the upper pole P1 and the lower pole P2 to come closer to each other (see arrow A in FIG. 3), and each ring portion 13 can be urged. And the lid portion 14 are integrated to hold a substantially spherical body.

The inner surface 21a of the coupling member 21 is provided with a protrusion 23 corresponding to the hole 15 of each ring portion 13. The tip of the protrusion 23 is formed to be round or thin, and the base end is formed to have a width equal to the width of the substantially hole portion 15.

Positioning of the ring portions 13 is performed. Then, the ring portion 13 on the large diameter side is laminated so that the end surface 13a on the small diameter side of the adjacent ring portion 13 on the small diameter side is in contact with the end surface 13b on the small diameter side.

Next, one C-shaped coupling member 21 is unfolded by hand, and the coupling member 21 is fitted into the groove 17 of each ring portion 13. First, the protrusion 23 of the coupling member 21 is inserted into the hole 15 provided in the groove 17 of each ring portion 13. Then, while the coupling member 21 is restored by the elastic force, the fixed convex portion 14b of the lid portion 14 is inserted into the fixing hole portion 22 of the coupling member 21, and the hand is released from the coupling member 21. As a result, the elastic force of the coupling member 21 exerts an urging force in the direction of bringing the upper pole P1 and the lower pole P2 closer to each other, so that each ring portion 13 and both lid portions 14 are coupled. After that, the other connecting member 21 is also attached in the same manner.
