WILLIAM E. SEXION, OF KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI.
PORTABLE SAVINGS-BANK.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Jan. 1, 1907.
Application filed June 30, 1906. Serial No. 324,159.
To all whom it. may concern: I
Be it known that I, WILLIAM E. SEx'roN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Kansas City, in the county of Jackson and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Portable Savings- Banks, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in portable savings-banks such as are distributed by banks among depositors for the accumulation of money to be deposited.
The important feature of the invention consists of a device which permits currency to be placed in the savings-bank, but prevents its Withdrawal therefrom until the bank has been opened with a key.
In order that the invention may be fully understood, reference will now be made to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 represents a vertical sectional view of a bank provided with my improvements. Fig. 2 is a detail perspective view of a device forming the chief feature of the invention. Fig. 3 is an inverted plan view of the same. Fig. 4 is an end elevation thereof with a follower forming part of the invention in position therein. Fig. 5 is a transverse section taken on line V of Fig. 1. Fig. 6 is an elevation of the device before being folded into proper shape.
In carrying out the invention I employ a receptacle 1, havinga door 2, provided with a lock 3, so that access may be had to the re-. ceptacle with a proper key.
4 designates a coinslot extending through the top of the receptacle.
5 designates my improved device, which is stamped from one piece of spring metal and formed into four divisions consisting of a coin-chute portion A, a guard B, wings C, connecting said guard to the coin-chute portion, and a pair of braces D, which assist in. holding the coin-chute rigid. The ends of portion A are fulcrumed with alternately-arranged short fingers 6 and two alternatelyarranged long fingers 7, the former of which hold one side of the coin-chute together, while the latter secure braces D to said coinchut'e. GuardB is divided into two series of jaws 8 9.
After the device has been stamped out of a blank piece of metal it is folded into U form along lines a and b. It is then folded along dotted lines 0 and d to form the narrow sides of the coin-chute, one of said sides being secured by fingers 6, which are interlocked, as shown in Fig. 4, to prevent the front and rear walls of the coin-chute from springing apart. Braces D, which are reinforced by flanges 10, bent at right angles thereto, are then bent downwardly against the front and rear walls of the coin-chute and locked in thisposition by fingers 7 to hold the discharge end of the chute rigid, so that said end cannot be sprung backwardly or forwardly with an instrument inserted in the chute for the object of extracting coins from the receptacle. The lower ends of jaws 8 9 are next bent inwardly to overlap and normally close the discharge end of the chute, as shown in Figs. 4 and 5. Said jaws are alternately arranged and have their lower terminals V-shaped, so they may overlap each other, as described. The two outermost jaws have outward extensions 8? 9, which completely close the sides of the discharge end of the chute.- Lugs 11, which have been stamped up from the ends of the wings, are secured to the top of the receptacle, and thus reliably hold the device in position without the use of extraneous fastening devices.
12 designates a follower for forcing currency into the receptacle through the chute and the guard and is provided with a pair of oppositely-disposed shoulders 13 to limit its downward movement. By employing follower 12 paper money may be forced into the bank as readily as coins.
After the money has been pushed through the chute and the guard by the follower, jaws 9 immediately close beneath the discharge end of the chute, so that said money cannot be extracted from the receptacle through the chute. The jaws are made narrow and placed close together, so that if an instrument be inserted in an endeavor to pry them apart only those jaws against which the instrument is brought into contact will be forced apart, the others remaining in their normal position, and as the narrow coinchute will limit the backward and forward movements of the'instruinent it is apparent that the jaws cannot be pried apart sufficiently to permit a coin to pass between them and the instrument and enter said chute.
, Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. A bank having a coin-slot, -a coin-chute communicating with said slot and having parallel sides extending into the bank, a
guard consisting of two series of resilient jaws overlapping each other at the discharge end of the chute, and a follower for forcing money through the chute and the jaws, said follower being provided with shoulders for limiting its inward movement.
2. In a savings-bank having a coin-slot, a device stamped from one piece of metal and consisting of a coin-chute communicating with said slot, wings extending in opposite directions from the inlet end of said chute and provided with fastening devices whereby they are secured to the inner side of the bank, and a series of resilient jaws extending downwardly from each wing, the jaws of one series overlapping those of the other beneath the discharge end of the chute.
3. A bank having a coin-slot, a coin-chute within the bank communicating with said slot, a guard consisting of two series of resilient jaws overlapping each other before the discharge end of said coin-chute, and outward extensions on the two outermost jaws.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
WILLIAM E. SEXTON.
