Description

' w. CHRYSLER.
TOY MONEY BOX.
N0.180,00Z. PatentedJuly 18,-1876.
NITED STATES PATENT O FICE;
\WARBEN CHRYSLER, or LOOKPORT, NEW-YORK.
IMPROVEMENT IN TOY MONEY-BQXES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 180,002, dated July 18 1876; application filed January "82,1876.
To allwhom it may concern Be it known that I, WARREN UHRYsLER, of
Lockport, in the county of Niagara and State constructed of a single piece, and having a delivery-opening in the bottom, with a cover fastened in a peculiar manner, as hereinafter described.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective; Fig. 2, a detail of the bottom opening and cover, in cross-section; and Fig. 3, a perspective of the cover.
A A represent the four sides of a toy safe, and a a the feet, all made or cut from a single piece of sheet metal, preferably of tin, and pressed or otherwise formed into the shape shown in Fig. 1, and having a top piece, B, with a money-slit, and an opening, b, in the bottom B of the safe, with a cover, 0, which is removable when it is desired to take out the money deposited in the safe or bank. The construction of the cover 0, and the manner of fastening it to the bottom B, is one of the features of novelty in this device.
The opening b in the bottom piece may be square, oblong, or round, having a rim or projecting flange, 0, over which the cover 0, which conforms in shape, will set.
Attached to each end of the cover, or forming part thereof, is a lug or strip. At one end, 61, it forms a sort of binge, by being inserted into a slit, e, in the bottom of the safe. At the other end the lug d rests on the bottom of the bank, as shown in Fig. 2, and is fastened thereto by a drop of soft solder, thus forming afastening that cannot be opened by a child, but can be easily opened and closed, when necessary, by an adult. v
When authorized persons desire to get at the contents, a hot iron is applied to the sol 'der which fastens the lug at one end of the cover, when the cover can be instantly removed without injury or marring the safe. The cover may then be replaced, and, with a hot iron (or poker) and drop of solder, easily fastened, as before, for future use.
The opening and cover may be placed in the side, if desired but I prefer the position in the bottom, as shown.
The superiority of this over other kinds of cheap or moderate-priced tin sa ings-banks is The corners of the safe are made round,
which adds to its strength and'looks. It is small in size, and will be appropriately ornamented, like large business-sates.
' I claim-- 1. A toy safe or savings-bank, having the four sides A A and feet a a cut or constructed of a single or continuous piece of sheet metal, and having the opening I) in the bottom with the cover 0, as and for the purpose specified. 2. The flanged opening b c in the bottom of the safe, having the cover 0 setting over it, with the lug or hinge d at one end, and the other end or lug, 01, arranged to be fastened to the bottom B, as and for the purpose specitied.
In witness whereof I have hereunto signed 7 my name in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
I WARREN CHRYSLER. Witnesses:
