60 Figura 2. Muestra una vista en sección de la hucha donde se muestra esencialmente el acoplamiento de las tapas con respecto al cuerpo hueco. 60 Figure 2. It shows a sectional view of the piggy bank where the coupling of the covers with respect to the hollow body is essentially shown.

Description of the preferred embodiment

Considerando la numeración adoptada en las figuras, la hucha comprende un cuerpo hueco 1 de forma esencialmente cilíndrica, que posee una base circular 2 y una pared perimetral 3, cuyo borde libre delimita la 5 embocadura de ese cuerpo hueco 1. Considering the numbering adopted in the figures, the piggy bank comprises a hollow body 1 of essentially cylindrical shape, which has a circular base 2 and a perimeter wall 3, whose free edge delimits the mouth of that hollow body 1.

A su vez, el espacio interior delimitado mediante el cuerpo hueco 1 se divide en varios compartimentos independientes 4 separados por tabiques radiales 5 que confluyen en un borde común central 6, de manera que cada compartimento independiente 4 se delimita mediante dos tabiques radiales 5 consecutivos y una porción In turn, the interior space delimited by the hollow body 1 is divided into several independent compartments 4 separated by radial partitions 5 that converge on a common central edge 6, so that each independent compartment 4 is delimited by two consecutive radial partitions 5 and a portion

10 curvada de pared perimetral 3 del cuerpo hueco 1. 10 curved perimeter wall 3 of the hollow body 1.

Adem�s, los compartimentos independientes 4 cuentan con unas embocaduras parciales que se cierran con unas tapas 7 adaptadas a tales embocaduras parciales, a la vez que dichas tapas 7 tienen respectivas ranuras 8 para introducir por ellas el dinero en forma de billetes o monedas. In addition, the independent compartments 4 have partial openings that are closed with covers 7 adapted to such partial openings, while said covers 7 have respective slots 8 to introduce money in the form of bills or coins.

15 Las tapas 7 se mantienen en una posición totalmente estable cerrando las embocaduras. 15 The covers 7 are kept in a completely stable position by closing the openings.

Para este fin, cada tapa 7 comprende una base 9 en forma de sector circular, una pared lateral arqueada 10 adaptada interiormente a la curvatura de la parte superior de la pared perimetral 3 del cuerpo hueco 1 y dos paredes For this purpose, each cover 7 comprises a base 9 in the form of a circular sector, an arcuate side wall 10 adapted internally to the curvature of the upper part of the perimeter wall 3 of the hollow body 1 and two walls

20 laterales rectas 10' adaptadas a la parte superior de ambas caras de los tabiques radiales 5, de manera que las paredes laterales 10-10' de las tapas 7 se encuentran ligeramente remetidas hacia el interior, con lo cual se conforma un característico escalonamiento 11 que genera una porción perimetral 12 en la base 9 de las tapas 7, dicha porción perimetral se apoya sobre el borde libre de la pared perimetral del cuerpo hueco 1 y sobre los bordes libres de los tabiques radiales 5. 20 straight sides 10 'adapted to the top of both sides of the radial partitions 5, so that the side walls 10-10' of the covers 7 are slightly tucked inwards, thereby forming a characteristic stepping 11 which generates a perimeter portion 12 at the base 9 of the covers 7, said perimeter portion rests on the free edge of the perimeter wall of the hollow body 1 and on the free edges of the radial partitions 5.

25 Los bordes libres de los tabiques radiales 5 est�n dispuestos en el mismo plano que el borde libre de la embocadura del cuerpo hueco 1. 25 The free edges of the radial partitions 5 are arranged in the same plane as the free edge of the mouth of the hollow body 1.

El acoplamiento de todas las tapas 7 cubre la totalidad de la embocadura superior delimitada por el cuerpo hueco 1. The coupling of all the covers 7 covers the entire upper opening delimited by the hollow body 1.

30 Además, la pared perimetral 3 del cuerpo hueco 1 tiene unas escotaduras superiores 13 que alcanzan el borde libre del cuerpo hueco 1 y facilitan la extracción de las tapas 7. Las escotaduras superiores 13 presentan un contorno curvado 5. In addition, the perimeter wall 3 of the hollow body 1 has upper recesses 13 that reach the free edge of the hollow body 1 and facilitate the removal of the covers 7. The upper recesses 13 have a curved contour 5.
