1 Claim.
This invention relates to coin banks and has for one object the provision of such a bank having yieldable means at the coin receiving mouth or slot to prevent outward passage of a coin through the said mouth, the said means being integral with the top closure of the bank.
Another object is to produce a device of the character described in which the maximum simplicity of construction and operation is secured.
Other objects and advantages will appear as the nature of the improvements is better understood, the invention consisting substantially in the novel arrangement and co-relation of parts herein fully described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein similar reference characters are used to describe corresponding parts throughout the several views, and then finally pointed out and specifically defined and indicated in the appended claims.
The disclosure made the basis of exemplifying the present inventive concept suggests a practical embodiment thereof, but the invention is not to be restricted to the exact details of this disclosure, and the latter, therefore, is to be understood from an illustrative, rather than a restrictive standpoint.
The inventive idea involved is capable of receiving a variety of mechanical expressions, one of which for the purpose of illustration, is shown in the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is a side of a coin bank made in accordance with my improvements;
Figure 2 is a vertical sectional view thereof taken on line 22 Figure 1;
Figure 3 is a perspective view of the top closure in inverted position;
Figure 4 is a perspective View of the bottom closure and Figure 5 is a sectional view through the pressure screw used to force out the bottom closure when the bank is full.
Referring now to the drawing in detail the numeral IU indicates the body portion of the coin bank which is preferably cylindrical and made or molded of any suitable plastic material. The bottom end of the body l0 comprises an enlarged portion H having an internal annular groove l2 at its juncture with the reduced upper body portion 13 and forms an inner annular shoulder l4. Frictionally maintained in the said enlarged portion H is a bottom closure l5, said closure comprising a bottom wall l6 and an upstanding annular wall [1 which is provided with slots I 8 and terminates at its upper end in a beadlike formation I9 adapted to snap into the annular recess or groove l2, the shoulder l4 forming a positioning stop for the said bottom closure.
The body of the bank is provided with the usual openings 20 for gaging the height of the coin stack within the bank and with the usual mouth or coin admitting slot 2| near the top thereof. The top of the bank body I0 is provided with a closure 22 which may be cemented in place and has a top wall 23 from which extends an integral horizontal annular flange 24 and an upstanding wall 25, portions of which are relieved or cut out as at 2626 to form a frontal wall portion 21. The said frontal wall portion 21 is in alinement with the coin admitting slot 2| and extends slightly below the top edge thereof, to form a stop for preventing any coins from falling out of the interior of the bank. The said portion 21 is provided with slits 28, is somewhat tapered and extends inwardly so as to provide a resilient edge to permit of insertion of the coin without breaking or cracking the stop wall portion 21. A pressure screw 29 having an enlarged coin contacting flange 30 at one end and a head 3| at the opposite end, passes centrally through the closure 22. The head 3| may be cemented to the screw 29 after it is threaded into the closure 22. The coin contacting flange 30 also forms means to prevent withdrawal of the screw 29 from the said closure.
From the foregoing it will be seen that I have provided a coin bank made of suitable plastic material of simple inexpensive construction, the said bank having a top closure provided with a unitary and integral wall portion at the coin admitting slot, which is sufiiciently resilient to permit of the ready insertion of a coin through the said slot and yet act as a stop to prevent the coin from falling out of the bank.
Likewise it will be seen that I have provided a bottom closure for the bank, said closure having a resilient upstanding slotted flange or wall which will snap into and be frictionally held in place until unseated by the pressure of the screw against the coins when the bank is full.
Having described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
A coin bank comprising a cylindrical body, a
closure for the upper end of said body, said body.
being formed across its front with a transversely extending coin slot near its upper end, said closure having a depending annular wall fitting snugly within said body, said wall being resilient and formed with circumferentially spaced recesses of less depth than the wall, portions of the wall between the recesses defining depending transversely arcuate front and rear wall portions spaced from each other, said front wall portion being disposed in overlapping relation to said coin slot and having its lower portion curved away from the slot inwardly of the body, the front wall portion being slit vertically upward from its lower edge to form a plurality of tongues constituting guards for the coin slot yieldable inwardly of the body to permit insertion of coins through said coin slot into the body.
