SAMUEL E. OREASEY, OF SANFORD, MAINE.
CALENDAR-BANK.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented March 19, 1907.
Application filed December 20, 1906. Serial No. 348.726-
To all whom t may concern.-
Be it known that I, SAMUEL E. OREASEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Sanford, county of York, and State of Maine, have invented an Improvement in Calendar- Banks, of which the following description., in connection with the accompanying drawing, is a specification, like letters on the drawing representing like parts.
This invention relates to a calendar-bank or a bank designed for the saving of money by putting aside coins at regular periods-as, for example, daily-and is arranged to serve as a constant reminder of the time for the putting aside of the coin.
The object of the invention is to provide such a bank which will be simple and cheap in its construction.
The invention will be more fully understood from the laccompanying description and drawings and will be particularly pointed out in the claims.
The drawings represent the invention in its preferred form suitable for hanging upon the wall in place of an ordinary calendar.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a front elevation of the device embodying the invention. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical cross-section showing a detail of a modified form of construction. Fig. 8 is a longitudinal central vertical cross-section of the construction shown in Fig. 1
In the drawings, A represents a support for the parts of the device, which may be of any suitable form, construction, and material, but is herein shown as a flat rectangular plate of pasteboard or thin wood. At they lower end of the support is fastened a box B, which is to serve as the receptacle for the coins and'which also may be of any suitabl(` shape, construction, or material. Since these banks are primarily designed 'to be cheap and to be thrown away at the end of some stated period, such as a year, the box B is made a permanent part ofthe support. by some ordinary fastening means unnecessary to describe. The front of the box may be ornamented or inscribed with any advertisement or legend desired. At the top the box is open and provided with a downwardly-swinging cover O for the admission of the coins and. extending the whole length of the box. This cover should be weighted or controlled by a spring, as shown at D, so that if the bank should be tipped upside down the cover will close and prevent the coins from -nary calendar, where each sheet represents one month.
Over the calendar-pad E and preferably substantially coinciding with it 1n dimensions and outline is placed a face-plate F,
having a series of openings G corresponding.
to the number of the days and allowing these numbers to show through. These openings G are'preferably circular and of a size equal to that of the largest coin'for which the bank is intended to be used. This face-plate F may be made of any suitable material and when made comparatively thin some means are desirable, if not necessary, to keep the coins from falling out, for the entire device is intended to be hung in a vertical position, as in theI case of the ordinary calendar.` If the face-plate F is made of pasteboard or some thin material, tabs g may be struckout from the periphery of the openings G, so as to catch the edge of the coin and retain it. If the plate is made of thicker material, as a thin sheet of wood, the construction shown in Fig. 2 may be employed, where the recess or opening for the coin is enlarged at the lower and rear portion/as at g. Any suitable means for retaining the coin in place may be used. Other openings, as desired, are made in the face-plate F for allowing any other wordsor legends-as, for example, the name of the month and the names of the days of the week-to appear.
The face-plate F is pivotally mounted upon and clamped to the support by any suitable means, such as an ordinary thumbnut H and clamping-screw H. The only feature of this device is that the screw H shall be held from movement when the nut is turned, and this may be secured by striking up points h from the head of the screw H into the rearof the support A. The faceplate is also preferably held at the bottom by a small pivoted spring-clamp K, which is turned and sprung over the lower edge of the face-pl ate to hold it in position.
The operation of the device will be apparent. The calendar-bank is hung upon the wall and a coin-for example, a centis placed from day to day in the proper opening through which the day of the month ap- IOO'- IIO pears. In this way the person desiring 'to save, i'or eXample, a penny a day 'will be constantly reminded as to whether or not he has put aside the proper coin, for whenever he looks at the calendar he will see whether or not 'the current day is covered by its coin. When the month is ended, all the numbers appearing through the face-plate F will be covered by thecoin. The thumb-nut II is then loosened, the clamp K released, and the 'face-plate F swung forward, allowing the coins all togetherto drop down into the boX B, vpushing aside the swinging lid C. A sheet is then removed from the calendar-pad and the vface-plate again locked in position by the thumb-screw II and the clamp K., and the bankis ready to receive the coins for another month.
Having fully described my invent-ion, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
l. A calendar-bank comprising a support, a calendar mounted thereon, a vfaceplate for said calendar provided with coin-receiving openings corresponding to the numbers of the calendar, means for locking the faceplate in position over the calendar and unlocking it to permit the coins to fall out at the back of the plate, a coin-receiving box below the'calendar mounted on the support. 2. A calendar-bank comprising a support, a calendar mounted thereon, a face-plate i'or said calendar provided with coin-receiving openings corresp ondingto` the numbers oi the calendar, means for locking the face-plate in position over 'the Acalendar and unlocking it to permit the coins to i'all out at the back of the plate, a coin-receiving box below the calendar mounted on the support, a swinging door at the top of said boX adapted to yieldunder the weight of the coins.
3. A calend ar-bank comprising a support, a calendar mounted thereon, a face-plate Aier said .calendar provided with coin-receiving openings corresponding 'to the numbers of the calendar, means `for preventing the coins from falling out wheninserted in the coinreceiving openings to cover the numbers, means for locking the face- )late in position over the calendar and unlocking it to permit the coins to fall out at the back of the plate, a coinreceiving box below the calendar mounted on the support.
4. A calendar-bank comprising a support, a` calendar-pad mounted thereon, a faceplate ior said calendar-pad provided with coin-receiving openings corresponding to the numbers on the calendar, means for preventing the coins from falling out when inserted in the coin-receiving openings to cover the numbers, means for locking the face-plate in position over the pad, and unlocking it to permit the coins to fall ont at the back of the plate and to permit the change or removal of a sheet of the pad, a coin-receiving box below the calendar-pad mounted on the support.
5. A calendar-bank comprising a support, a ealendarpad mounted thereon, a 'faceplate ior said calendar-pad provided with coin-receiving openings corresponding to the numbers on the calendar, means for preventing the coins 'from falling out when inserted in the coin-receiving openings to cover the numbers, means for locking the face-plate in position over the pad, and unlocking it to permit the coins to fall out at the back of the plate and to permit the change or removal oi' a sheet of the pad, a coin-receiving box below the calendar-pad mounted on the support, a swinging spring-controlled door at the top of the said box adapted to yield under the weight of the coins.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence ol two subscribing witnesses.
SAMUEL E. CREASEY.
