UNITED STATES PATENT QEEICE.
ALBERT FEIGL, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
IMPROVEMENT IN TOY MONEY-BOXES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 166,978, dated August 24, 1875; application filed July 31,1875.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ALBERT FEIGL, of the city and county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Toy Money-Boxes; and I do hereby declare the following to be a clear and exact description of the nature thereof, sufficient to enable others skilled in the art to which my invention appertains to fully understand, make, and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making part of this specification, in which- Figure lis a face View of the device elnbodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a transverse section thereof in line x Fig. l.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the two figures. l
My invention consists ina money-box within which is located a gong or sounding appa'- ratus, which will be struck by the coin after being deposited in the box, thus directing attention to the deposits and affording an amusement to the child, the body of the box being preferably ofthe form of a bell, so as to harmonize with the intended action of the device.
Referring to the drawings, A represents the bodyof the box,which is preferably ofthe form of abell, and has a perforated base, B, which closes the mouth or bottom ofthe bell, so asto contain the money deposited in the box, but which is removable in order to have access to the collection when occasion requires, or it is desired. An opening, C, is made in the body A near the upper end thereof, and within the body there is secured a chute, D, which projects inwardly and downwardly, and is arranged below the opening C, in such proximity thereto that an articlein troduced into the body th rough the opening C will be directed to or fall on the chute and then slide down thereon. Within the body A, near the bottom thereof, there is mounted a gong or alarm, E, Whose standard or support a may be attached to the body A or the base B, and in the present case the opening or base of the gong faces upward in somewhat an inclined direction.
It is evident that when the coin is passed in the opening C .and slides down the chiite D it will strike the gong E, and thus indicate the reception or deposit of the money within the box. The money then falls from the gong to the bottom of thc box', and iscleared for the .striking action of 'the next coin.
As the body will preferably be of the form of a bell, the striking of the gong Ewill harmonize with said form of the body, and thus afford amusement to the children or depositors.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isy The toy money-box A, in combination with an inclosed gong or alarm, E, arranged to be sounded by the descending coin deposited in the box, substantially. as and for the purpose set forth.
' ALBERT FEIGL.
