BUDGET SAVINGS BANK Original Filed July 50 1926 Patented June 11, 1929.

UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

BUDGET SAVINGS BANK.

Application filed July 30, 1926, Serial No. 125,877. Renewed October 31, 1928.

My invention relates to boxes intended to receive savings funds either for house use or for deposit with a bank.

The purpose of my invention is to provide ready access to the complete subdivided fund.

A further purpose is to use a common top and lock for a considerable number of compartmcnts in a savings bank.

A further purpose is to embody a budget 1 system in a savings bank.

A further purpose is to reduce danger of confusion of the funds when they are withdrawn for deposit.

A further purpose is to provide complete identified budget boxes within a protective box and with registering openings.

Further purposes will appear in the specification and in the claims.

I have preferred to show one suggested form only, selecting a form which is simple, practical, efficient and inexpensive and which at the same time well illustrates the princi pics of my invention.

Figure 1 is a perspective section, partly broken away, showing my preferred form. v

Figure 2 is a section of Figure 1 taken upon line 2-2.

Figure 3 is a section of Figure 1 taken upon line 33.

Figure 4 is a top plan view of one of the individual boxes.

In the drawings similar numerals indicate like parts.

Savings accounts have been greatly infrom each box by curving the bottom wall of the box.

The combination box 1, is made up of rows of individual boxes in rows as 2 and 3. A common cover 4 is hinged at 5 and is fastened by hasp 6 and lock 7 The suggested uses of creased in recent years by the practice of the compartments may be indicated upon the outside cover. s

The side walls 8 of the boxes come up close to the cover and are separately closed by covers 1 to prevent mixing of coins from different compartments and also to cover and identify the boxes when they have been removed.

In order to assist in withdrawal of coins I form the bottom wall of each compartment preferably in the form of a curve 9 in crosssection rising from the point 10 at which the box has full depth-to a wall 11 of each box. As placed the curved bottoms of the boxes in row 2 preferably slope outwardly and upwardly toward an outer wall such as 13 of the larger box and the curved bottoms of the boxes of row 3 slope outwardly and upwardly toward an outer wall such as 14.

The top cover is provided with a coin slot 15 and a bill opening 16 for each compartment. Beneath these openings are located slightly larger openings 15 and 16' in the individual box covers. The openings 16 are located preferably in the corners of the boxes and at the ends where the boxes are deepest.

Upon the under side of the cover of each individual box I mount a spring 17 for each coin slot, extending the spring at the end furthest from its point of attachment so as to cover the coin slot, preventing withdrawal of coins while permitting insertion of the coins by pressure of the coin against the spring. The curved springs shown yield across the metal of the springs and also torsionally, giving a maximum yield for the length of the spring. The box is intended to be carried by handle 18. a V

In operation the coins and bills will be placed by the depositor in the boxes intended and at intervals the larger box will be taken to a bank where the cover is unlocked and the individual boxes, properly marked, are removed for deposit to the correspondingly subdivided aceount of the depositor. After the separate funds have been entered by the bank in appropriate columns the box will be returned to the depositor for another use.

In view of my invention and disclosure, variations and modifications to meet individual whim or particular need will doubtless become evident to others skilled in the art, to obtain part or all of the benefit of my invention without copying the structure shown, and I, therefore, claim all such so far as box cover being larger than those in the outer cover;

2. In a coin box, walls forming a plurality of covered compartments,- and having a separate coin opening in each. lid, a laterally movable spring guard for each of the openings secured to the lid and curved from its points of attachment to cross the opening, whereby bonding and torsional spring functions are performed by each spring and a cover for all of the compartments apertured to register with the openings in the lids.
