Our invention has for one of itsobjects to provide a combined coin-operated` calendar and saving-s bank `which1will be selfdumping to discharge the collected coins,;at the endof a predetermined time (preferably at Vthe end of each month).

Another object is to rovide a device of.

the character set forth aving an indicator to show the day of the month and another indicator to disclose the month, coin-opere` ated means being provided for setting the month'day indicatortodisclose the date,

while means are provided for automatically moving y the month indicator when said month day indicator has been moved a predetermined'number of times.

` Another 'obj ect is to provide unique means tor prevent operation of the device or `the removal of coinstherefrom by tilting or in-B verting. Y

With the foregoing and mino-r objects in view, the `inventionresides in the novel subject matter `hereinafter describedY and claimed, the description beingl supplemented by the accompanying drawings.

Figure 6 is a duplicate ofFig. 5 with the exception that it illustrates the manner in which the coin is released when the lmonth day indicator is moved. i

Figure 7 is a topv plan view with :parts removed, broken away and in horizontal section.

Figure "8 is a vertical i sectional view through the lower portion of they device showing the manner in` which the coin re-` ceptacle dumps'.

In the drawings above briefiy` described, the numeral l designates a suitabley casing which is preferably provided with an en.

lai-ged base portion 2 separated `from the upper portion of thev casing by a horizontal partition 3.V A month day indicator 4 which' is prefera-bl in the form of a. wheel or disk, `is rotatabiy mounted in the casing above the partition 3 so .that the numerals an opening 5 or a transparent portion in t e front of thef casing. In' fthe construction shown, a horizontal shaft 6 is provided for thel `indicator 4, one end vof said shaft being supported by the'front wall of the casing 1, while the `other end of said shaft is supported by a vertical plate 7 [which is spaced forwardly tosome extent from `the rear wall of thecasing, `the :lower endl'fof this plate opposite edge walls of'said casing, asillustratedinFig; l. A

In the present showing, the periphery of the month day indicator 4, `is providedfwith a plurality ofv circumferentially' spaced teeth 12, at least one of which co-operates normally `with a coin-released dog or the like lfor holding the indicator against rotation. One end of this dogextends into a coin chute 14 so that acoin` `15 inserted into said chute as shown'in Figs. 4, vand 6, will release ysaid dog, permitting turningof the upon' its face, representing the days o f the month, may be viewed one at a time throu h that Within the scope 0f the invention as claimed, numerous minor changes may be made.

We claim:

l. In combination, a movably mounted member and coin-controlled means for operating the same, a second movably mounted u member, operating means for said second member including a projection on the first named member, a movably mounted trap to receive the coins from said coin-controlled operating-means, and a latch normally holding said trap in coin-retaining position, said latch having a releasing portion in the path of the aforesaid projection, whereby the latter forms not only part of the operating means for the second member, but releasing means for said latch.

2. A coin-operated device comprisin a casing containing coin-controlled mechanism, a coin receptacle in said casing for collectively holding the coins inserted, a latch under the control of Said coin-controlled mechanism for normally holding said receptacle in coin-retaining position and a guard for preventing release of said latch When the casing is tilted.

3. A coin-operated device comprising a `casing containing coin-controlled mechanism, a coin receptacle in said casing for collectively holding the coins inserted, a latch under control of said coin-controlled mechanism for holding said receptacle in coinretaining position, and a gravity-applied holding device Jfor said latch to prevent. release of the latter by tilting the casing.

4. A coin-operated device comprising a casing containing coin-controlled mechanism, a coin receptacle in said casing `for collectively holding the coins inserted, said. receptacle being mounted for downward tilting to a coin-dumping position, a horizontally movable pivoted latch mounted in the casing and engaged with said receptacle to hold itnormally against tilting, said latch being under the control of said coin-controlled mechanism, and a latch holding device pivoted on said receptacle and having a Weight active to hold it in a position to preventJ release of the latch when the casing is tilted.

In testimony whereof We have hereunto aixed our signatures.
