【Example】

 Embodiments will be described below with reference to the drawings.

1 and 2 show a savings box according to the first embodiment. This savings box 1 is composed of an outer cylinder 2 having a bottomed cylindrical shape, and an inner cylinder 3 which is cylindrical with a bottomed and which can be fitted into the inner side of the outer cylinder 2 with their openings facing each other. Of these, the outer cylinder 2 is made of hard plastic, and is colored, for example, in blue. A coin slot 5 is attached to the end plate 4 of the outer cylinder 2, and a spiral mountain portion 6a (valley when seen from the outside when viewed from the outside) is formed on the lower portion of the inner peripheral surface of the outer cylinder 2 to form a female screw portion 6. Multiple parts) are formed. Further, a window frame 7 defining a window 7a is provided immediately above the female screw portion 6 of the outer cylinder 2. The window 7a is a passage. A sticker 7b for decoration is attached to the window frame 7. On the other hand, the inner cylinder 3 is formed by blow molding a transparent material, and on the outer peripheral surface of the inner cylinder 3, a large number of small ridges 8 forming the male screw 8 are formed along a virtual spiral. In this case, the formation pitch of the ridges 8 is ½ of the length of one turn of the virtual spiral, so as shown in FIG. 1, the outer cylinder of the inner cylinder 3 faces the opposing portion along the generatrix of the inner cylinder 3. Thus, the mountain portions 8 are arranged in a row. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, recesses 3a and 3b for sticking stickers are formed in the portions where the ridges 8 are not provided, and the target display labels 9a and 9b are stuck to the recesses 3a and 3b. ing. The goal display label 9a shows savings purposes A (displays that motivate the user to save money) A and C at predetermined intervals, and the goal display label 9b shows the positions corresponding to the middle of the savings purposes A and C. Saving purpose B is displayed in. The savings purposes A to C are different from each other. The savings purposes A to C are composed of desired words such as "I want to eat ramen," "I want to eat steak," and "I want to eat French cuisine," and the patterns that make them think. In this case, it is desirable to increase the savings purpose A, B, C in this order. As shown in FIG. 2, the inner cylinder 3 configured as described above is screwed into the outer cylinder 2, but depending on how the outer cylinder 2 of the inner cylinder 3 is pulled out, one of the savings purposes A to C can be achieved. One of them is displayed in the window 7a of the outer cylinder 3.

Explaining how to use the savings box 1 thus configured, first, a savings purpose is set, and the savings purpose A, B or C is set in the window 7a of the outer cylinder 2 according to the savings purpose. Display it. In this state, for example, the money box 1 is placed on a closet or a desk, and coins are inserted. Then, when the inner cylinder 3 is full, the outer cylinder 2 is removed from the inner cylinder 3 and the coin is ejected from the inner cylinder 3.

According to the savings box 1 thus configured, the following effects can be obtained.

That is, since the savings box 1 expands and contracts, the size can be adjusted to match the target savings amount. Therefore, when the target savings amount is saved, the target savings amount is achieved and the savings box 1 At the same time, you will be satisfied that you have filled your account and the purpose of saving will be displayed in the window 7a. Therefore, every time you look at the savings box 1, you will see the purpose of saving your savings and recall the savings motive when setting the purpose of savings. Therefore, the willingness to save money will be motivated.

Further, FIGS. 3 and 4 show a savings box according to the second embodiment. The difference between this savings box 10 and the savings box 1 of the first embodiment is that, in the savings box 1 of the first embodiment, the inner cylinder 3 is screwed onto the outer cylinder 2, but this In the second embodiment, a guide concave portion 12a (a convex portion when viewed from the outside) extending in the generatrix direction of the outer cylinder 12 is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the outer cylinder 12, and the guide concave portion 12a is formed. The upper, middle and lower portions are provided with locking recesses 12b, 12c, 12d (convex when viewed from the outside), while a protrusion 13a is provided on the outer circumference of the inner cylinder 13 ( (See FIG. 4). The savings box 10 of the second embodiment has a purpose of saving money by sliding the projection 13a in the guiding recess 12a and engaging the projection 13a with any of the locking recesses 12b, 12c, 12d. It can be displayed on a window (not shown) of the outer cylinder 12. The savings box 10 of the second embodiment also provides the same effects as the savings box 1 of the first embodiment. The other configuration of the piggy bank 10 of the second embodiment is substantially the same as that of the piggy bank 1 of the first embodiment except that only one target indicating seal is provided. Has become.

Further, FIG. 5 shows a savings box according to the third embodiment. The difference between the savings box 20 and the savings box 1 of the first embodiment is that the savings box 1 of the first embodiment changes the purpose of savings by screwing the inner cylinder 3 with respect to the outer cylinder 2. On the other hand, in the third embodiment, the purpose of the savings is changed by the expansion and contraction of the bellows 23a of the inner cylinder 23 whose upper end engages with the outer cylinder 22. The outer cylinder 22 and the inner cylinder 23 of the savings box 20 of the third embodiment are engaged with each other by screwing the outer cylinder 22 and the inner cylinder 23 together. The savings box 20 of the third embodiment also provides the same effect as the savings box 1 of the first embodiment. The other configuration of the piggy bank 10 of the second embodiment is almost the same as that of the piggy bank 1 of the first embodiment except that only one target display seal is provided. Has become.

Although the embodiment made by the present inventor has been described above, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and various modifications can be made without changing the gist thereof. Needless to say.

For example, instead of the guide recess 12a and the locking recesses 12b, 12c, 12d of the savings box 10 of the second embodiment, a guide slit and a locking cut may be provided.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder are cylindrical, but they may be square contact.

Further, in the above embodiment, the coin insertion port is provided on one end face of the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder, but the coin insertion port is provided on one of the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder even if it is not the end face. Just go.

Further, although the outer cylinder is colored in the above-described embodiment, a part of the outer cylinder may be made transparent so that the internal savings state can be visually recognized. In this case, you can see at a glance how much money you have saved, and you will be more motivated to save money.

[0025]

[Effect of device]
