Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to the improvement of a piggy bank that also serves as a coin purse. The relatively large coins inserted into the interior are locked to the small diameter part, forming a kind of partition that allows different types of coins to be stored in an orderly manner. It is an object of the present invention to provide a savings box that can also be used as a coin purse and has a structure that allows for easy storage of coins.

EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION Hereinafter, the specific structure of this invention is demonstrated in detail based on the illustrated Example.

The coin purse/savings box of the present invention has a lid body 5 which can be slid laterally on the top surface 1 and the bottom surface 2 of a savings box main body 4, which has a coin storage hole 3 extending from the top surface 1 to the bottom surface 2. and 6, and the coin storage hole 3 is characterized in that the inner diameters of the upper part 7 and the lower part 8 are different.

First, the piggy bank main body 4 is made of wood, synthetic resin, preferably transparent synthetic resin, or a similar material, and is formed into a substantially elongated cube shape.
A coin storage hole 3 is provided extending from the top to the bottom surface 2. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, three coin storage holes 3 may be provided from the top surface 1 to the bottom surface 2 of the piggy bank main body 4, or one or more coin storage holes 3 may be provided, although not shown. Two holes may be provided. The inner diameter of this coin storage hole 3 is different between the upper part 7 and the lower part 8. For example, in the storage hole 3 located at the left end and center in FIG. 2, the upper part 7 has a large diameter and the lower part 8 has a small diameter. The storage hole 3 at the right end of FIG. 2 has an upper part 7 with a small diameter and a lower part 8 with a large diameter.

In addition, in the case where a plurality of coin storage holes 3 are provided, the inside of the partition wall 9 of the piggy bank main body 4 that partitions each storage hole 3 may be formed into a hollow shape to reduce the weight.

Next, the lids 5 and 6 are fitted onto the upper surface 1 and the lower surface 2 of the piggy bank main body 4 so as to be movable laterally.
and 6 consists of an upper surface part 10 and a side surface part 11, and a fitting part 12 is provided at the tip of the side surface part 11 facing inward.
is drilled. On the other hand, the upper and lower outer peripheries of the savings box main body 4 are provided with long grooves 13 along the longitudinal direction into which the fitting portions 12 of the lids 5 and 6 can fit. Top surface 1 of box body 4
and the lower surface 2, and can move laterally using the long groove 13 as a guide.

As shown in FIG. 3, engaging parts 14 are provided protrudingly on both longitudinal sides of the upper surface 1 and lower surface 2 of the piggy bank main body 4, and a plate-shaped lid is inserted into the engaging parts 14. It is also possible to adopt a structure in which the bodies 5 and 6 are fitted and the lid body can be moved laterally using the engaging portion 14 as a guide.

The coin purse/savings box of the present invention has the above-described structure, and the coin storage hole 3 is exposed by sliding either the lid 5 or 6 laterally, and a predetermined coin is inserted into the coin storage hole 3. It is something. In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the piggy bank main body 4 is provided with three coin storage holes 3, each having an upper part 7 and a lower part 8 having different diameters. When a 100 yen coin is thrown from the top 7 side of the storage hole 3 at the left end of the storage hole 3, the coin will be inserted into the storage hole 3, which has a small diameter.
Since the inner diameter is narrowed approximately in the middle of the storage hole 3, the inner diameter becomes locked, and if a 5 yen coin is thrown from the lower part 8 side of the storage hole 3, the 5 yen coin will be placed on top of the 100 yen coin. Both coins are stored in an orderly manner.

Similarly, the storage hole 3 located in the middle of FIG.
Insert a 10 yen coin from the upper 7 side, insert a 1 yen coin from the lower 8 side, insert a 500 yen coin from the lower 8 side of the storage hole 3 at the right end, and insert a 500 yen coin from the upper 7 side. If yen coins are inserted, all of the current coins can be neatly separated and stored in one main body.

In this way, according to the present invention, a relatively large coin inserted inside is locked in the small diameter part of the storage hole, and this serves as a kind of partition, so different types of coins can be stored in an orderly manner. Moreover, coins can be put in and taken out easily by simply moving the lid in the horizontal direction, so it is highly effective as a savings box, or as a coin purse for mobile phones, automobiles, etc.
