Three-coin register toy bank

A coin bank register bank adapted to accept and totalize coins of different size, said bank comprising:

• A a cash box whose top wall is provided with an entry port;
• B a hollow drum mounted for rotation above the box on an axle parallel to the top wall thereof, said drum having a coin receiver therein and being provided with a manually-operated pull-down lever for turning the drum from a normal angular position in which a coin may be deposited in the receiver, to an extreme angular position in which the receiver is aligned with the port to drop the coin in the cash box;
• C a register wheel mounted on said axle and having a circular series of teeth thereon on the side thereof facing the drum;
• D a clutch plate rotatably mounted on said axle between the drum and the first wheel, said plate being operatively coupled to the drum so that when the drum is turned to deposit a coin, the clutch plate is caused to turn in the same direction to an extent determined by the size of the coin and to engage the teeth of the first wheel, whereby the wheel is advanced concurrently therewith to indicate the deposit;
• and
• E an interlock mechanism triggered by the drum only when it is turned to its extreme position, the mechanism having a normally-retracted nose which, when the mechanism is triggered, is projected to engage said teeth and detent said first wheel to prevent any further advance thereof.
