My improvements relate to toy savings banks, so called,i. e. .to devices' designed primarily for the use of children, for the rece tion and stora e of coins tem oraril or, otherwise; my main object being to providea device of the character described. to f cause an interest coin to be automatically delivered,- on depositing acoin of prescribed larger denomination; and a supplemental object being to aflord a simple but practical operative"contrivance of this character for the COIIVGlllGIll'J storage of savings m a pr1-' I mary compartmentuntil a sufficientamount is attained, andthen theautomatic delivery to the 'depositor of an interest coin or token of relatively small, value when a prescribed coin of larger denomination, representing the equivalent of the primary "collection, is
deposited in the main compartment of; the
bank, in which the deposits'thus eflected are inaccessible until released by-t he unlocking of a closure provided forthe purpose,-
l the anticipationof the interest coin thus provided'for being intended to incite curiosity, stimulate attention, and. act as an incentive to thrift and economy, at the same time aifording amusement and entertaing merit to all concerned. By my inventiomit i I is .contemplated that wherever the term coin is used herein, legaltenjder is meant. j Sincethe device herein.)contemplated is a bank, the depositoi receives primarily an interest coin'on inserting a deposit coin. If,
however, other objects be delivered to the depositor, in lieuof an interest coin, which do not, assuch, have a pecuniary valueto the depositor, as for. example, deposit or records1ips,the fundamentalnharaeter of the invention as abank, and of the nature of the I depositor'.
delivery, including theinterest min as a sole return of value to the depositor, isnot modiitflwill be understood that byvalue is meant that maybe equivalent thereof to the Tothis end the inventionfconsists.in the specific;construction, combination and ar- 3 rangement of-parts and appurtenances described and (claimed, whereby these and other desirable results are attained ,distinctive features'being the simulation, ,inso 'far as is possible mechanically, of the conditions incidentali toi the; functionsof an ordinary savings bank the means providedv for I pre.
