[0008]

With the above construction, in the piggy bank according to the present invention, when the stored amount does not reach the predetermined amount, the dish body provided inside is urged by the second spring member and is above, and The operating rod is biased upward by the third spring member, and the engaging portion provided on the top of the operating rod is engaged with the claw portion. Therefore, the divided body is not opened and the piggy bank is closed. Is in a state.

When a coin is placed on the plate and reaches a predetermined weight, the plate moves downward against the second spring member due to the weight, and the lifting rod moves downward accordingly. Then, when the tip portion reaches the stopper piece and is pushed downward, the operating rod moves downward against the third spring member, and accordingly, the engaging portion releases the engagement of the claw portion, When the engagement of the claws is released,
The elevator board moves upward by the urging force of the first spring member, and the divided body whose base end is pivotally attached to the peripheral edge of the elevator board opens outward. Therefore, it is possible to take out the savings that have reached a predetermined amount.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the illustrated embodiments. 1 is a peach-shaped savings box main body, 2 is a lower frame portion provided on the bottom of the main body 1, and the main body 1 is radially divided into 4 parts into divided parts 1a, ...
A claw portion 3 is formed inside the top of 1a, and a coin insertion opening 4 is provided in one of the divided bodies 1a.

On the other hand, a guide frame 5 is planted in the lower frame portion 2, and an elevating plate 7 which is always urged upward by a first spring member 6 is provided in the guide frame 5. Four pivotal attachment portions 8 are formed on the peripheral edge portion, and the base end portions of the above divided bodies 1a are pivotally attached to the pivotal attachment portions 8, respectively.

Further, a dish 9 is provided inside the savings box main body 1, and an elevating rod 11 having a through hole 10 therein is extended downward along the guide frame 5 at the center of the bottom of the dish 9. At the same time, the second spring member 12 is interposed between the dish body 9 and the guide frame 5 to constantly urge the dish body 9 upward.

Further, an operating rod 14 having an engaging portion 13 of the pawl portion 3 is inserted into the through hole 10 in the elevating rod 11, and a flag celebrating the achievement of the savings amount is provided above the operating rod 14. 15 is provided, a stopper piece 16 is provided below the operating rod 14, and a third spring member 18 is interposed between the protruding piece 17 above the stopper piece 16 and the bottom of the lower frame portion 2. Third spring member
The operating rod 14 is always urged upward by the lever 18.

In the above construction, when the saved amount does not reach the predetermined weight, the dish 9 provided inside is urged by the second spring member 12 and is located above, and the operating rod 14 is located at the first position. Three
The claw portion 3 is engaged with the engaging portion 13 provided at the top of the operating rod 14 by being biased by the spring member 18, and therefore the split bodies 1a, ... Are not opened and the piggy bank is closed. It is in the state of being

Then, when a coin is inserted through the insertion port 4 and the coin is placed on the dish 9 and reaches a predetermined weight, the weight causes the dish 9 to urge the second spring member 12. It moves downwards, and the lifting rod 11 moves downwards accordingly, and its tip reaches the stopper piece 16, and when this is pushed downward, the operating rod 14 biases the third spring member 18. As a result, the engaging portion 13 provided on the top of the operating rod 14 also moves downwards, and the engagement of the claw portion 3 is released.

When the claws 3 are disengaged, the lift plate 7 moves upward due to the urging force of the first spring member 6, and the pivot plate 8 is mounted on the pivoting part 8 provided on the peripheral portion of the lift plate 7. Split body with its ends pivotally attached
1a,… open outward. Then, a predetermined amount of coins placed on the plate 9 and a flag 15 celebrating the achievement of the savings amount appear.
