shell orcase 1. The marginal flange 11 of the saidplate 10' is also provided with upwardly extending retaining lugs 12 and upwardly extending projectionalelements, as

13, formed with an opening 14' between them. The said face-plate 10 is. provided with an opening 15 in which is operatively disposed a key-receiving barrel 16 of any suitably formed locking mechanism 17.

The reference character 18 indicates a suitable-back-plate which isj-iormed with a downwardly extending marginal flange 19, said flange 19 being embraced" by the previously-mentioned marginal flange 11 of the faceep'late '10, and the two

plates

10 and 18 being suitably secured together by means of vthe previously mentioned retaining or hold-V mg lugs 12 which'are bent over upon the said back-plate 18, as will be clearly evident froman inspection of Figs. 3, 5 and 6 of the drawings, Within the. said shell or case 2,

being suitablysecured to the inner surfaceand operative relation within the said shell I crease-'1, as will be clearly evident from an. inspection of Figs. 3, 4' and 5 of the drawrings.

The previously mentioned back-plate 18 is provided with a pair ofoppositely disposed openings or slots 23 in which are'movably arranged'and from which project the catchportionso'r members 2% of the locking bolts of" the key-operated lock-mechanism 17.. Suitably secured by means of rivets 25, or

otherwise, to the inner faces of the longi-' tudin'ally extending sides 2- of" the shell or case 1 are a pair of plate-like members orelements26, each member or element 26 being provided at its lower end-portion with inwardly extending and angularly arranged en-gaging members 27 The previously mentioned catch-portions or members 2 1, when the-lock-containing closure is inserted in the open end-portion of the shell or case 1, are readily forced over and sprung into holding engagement with the-said angiilarly an.

27, whereby the. said closure is retainedin its locked relation. withinth'e said loweropen end-portion of ranged. engaging members the shell or meal, but cm he -readily rewhen the lock-mechanism 17 is operated by elementwith which said he clearly evident means or" a suitable key, to bring the said catch-members 24 into their disengaged relation with the angularly extending holding or retaining members 27. As will be seen more especially from aninspection of Fig. 7 of the drawings, the angularly arranged holding or retaining members 27 have their end-portions 28 extending in opposite directions beyond the marginal edge-portions 29 of the plate-like members or elements 26, so as to provide a air of marginal holding edge-portions 30, hind which the previously mentioned projectional elements 13, when the closurehas been placed in the open end-portion of the shell or case 1, are slipped into" retaining engagement with the said end-portions 28, and thereby positively prevent any spreading or bulging out of the longitudinally extendingsides-Q of the shell or case 1, as will be clearly understood from an inspection of Figs. 3, 5, 6 and 7 of the drawings. Of course, I am aware that some changes 'may be made in the general arrangements and combinations of the various devices and parts, as well as in the details of the con- .struction of the same, from the scope of the present invention as without departing defined in the appended claim. Hence, I do I not limit my invention .to the exact arrangenients'and combinations of the various devices and parts as set forth'in the foregoing specification, nor do 1 confine myself to the exact details of the construction of the said parts as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

'1 claim: v

A coin-repository comprising a shell or case having a closed top and an open bottom, a chambered closure within said open bottom, a. hey-operated lock-mechanism within said closure, catch-portions 'connected with said closure and extending therefrom, plate-like elements within said shell or case, means for securing said platelilie elements in position, an angular engaging member. connected with each plate-like v catch-portions are adapted "to be brought into locked engagement, and upwardly extending projectional elements connected "with said closure also adapted to be brought into holding engagement with said angular engaging members prevent spreading of the walls of the shell or case when the closure is in position with-- in said shell or case.

in testimony, that-I claim the invention, set forth above 1 have hereunto set my hand. this 29th day or". J une, 1912, v I
