Abstract
A coin register toy bank adapted to accept and totalize coins of different size. Each coin is deposited in the receiver of a rotary drum mounted above a coin box, the drum being operatively coupled by an intermediate clutch plate to a register wheel having a circular series of teeth on the side thereof facing the drum. The drum is manually turned by a pull-down lever from its normal coin-receiving angular position to an extreme position at which the receiver is aligned with the entry of the cash box into which the coin drops. As the drum turns, the register wheel is caused by the clutch plate which engages the teeth thereof to advance incrementally to an extent depending on the size of the received coin, thereby indicating the deposit. To prevent the advancing wheel from overshooting and misindicating the deposit, an interlock mechanism is provided which is triggered when the drum assumes its extreme position and then acts to detent one of the wheel teeth to prevent any further wheel advance.
