HUGH QUINN, OF EAST BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS.

IMPROVEMENT IN TOY MONEY-BOXES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 128,508, dated July 2, 1872.

T o allpersons to whom these presents may come:

Be it known that I, HUGH QUINN, of East Boston of the county of Suolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented an Improved Money-B0X; and do hereby declare the same to be fully described in the following specification, and represented in the accompanying drawing, of which- Figure l is a top view, Fig. 2 a front elevation, Fig. 3 a vertical section, and Fig. 4 a horizontal section, of it.

The parts of the box as shown in the said drawing are held together by a single screwbolt, and a nut bat either or one end. These parts are a base, A, two semicircular bodypieces, B B, a cap-plate, O, and a slotted hood or dome, D, the base and cap being recessed or ilanged, as shown, to receive the body-parts, arranged with respect to them, as represented. The hood is a cylindrical inverted cup, provided with a mouth, or money-receiving slot or orifice, a, arranged eccentrically on it. The ho'od or dome D rests on the top of the cap C, which has an opening covered by such hood. Furthermore, the bolt E going down through the hood, the cap, the body, and the base, besides having a screw, b, to receive a nut c, arranged as shown, is formed when within the case with a shoulder, or has a pin, e, run through it to constitute a support for a disk, F, arranged concentrically on the bolt so as to be capable of sliding freely on it, the same being so that, during the operation of inverting the money-box, the disk may fall down upon and cover the opening into the dome, and thus prevent any money from falling or escaping out the mouth of the dome, or being extracted by any implement introduced into the said mouth. One of the parts of the body has, in bass-relief on its outer surface, the representation of a door. Unless the body be cast in two sections, as shown, it cannot easily have the said bassrelief, as such would prevent the extraction of i case, provided with a receiving-slit or mouth,

1r/,and with the bolt E going through the case and having the rest-pin e or its equivalent, all as set forth.

HUGH QUINN.
