- and
- a light unit having a base configured for selective engagement with the coin bank outlet and further having a body extending from the base and a stem extending from the body and terminating opposite the base in a light source, whereby the light unit is removably insertable within the coin bank and, upon insertion of the light unit within the coin bank as by passing the light source, stem, and body through the outlet into the hollow interior and engaging the base with the outlet and further upon selective illumination of the light source, light from the light source fills the hollow interior of the coin bank and passes out of the hollow interior through the at least one opening.
A coin bank night light apparatus comprising:
- a coin bank having an outer wall defining a hollow interior and further having a coin slot, an outlet, and at least one opening each formed in the outer wall so as to communicate with the hollow interior, the outlet comprising a radially-inwardly-projecting lip;
- and
- a light unit having a base configured for selective engagement with the coin bank outlet and a light source opposite the base so as to be positionable within the hollow interior of the coin bank, the light unit base comprising a radially-outwardly-opening undercut configured for receipt of the radially-inwardly-projecting lip in selectively engaging the base with the outlet so as to removably insert the light unit within the coin bank, whereby the light unit is removably insertable within the coin bank and, upon insertion of the light unit within the coin bank as by passing the light source through the outlet into the hollow interior and engaging the base with the outlet and further upon selective illumination of the light source, light from the light source fills the hollow interior of the coin bank and passes out of the hollow interior through the at least one opening.
