Abstract
A toy money box in the form of a slot machine which has a coin store for a jackpot prize. That store has a hinged base which is normally held shut by engagement of a cam on a pivoted arm with a cam follower found on the base, displacement of the pivoted arm upon sensing of a winning combination for the chance wheels releasing the hinged base to release prize money. Additionally, a clutch mechanism is provided between the operating handle and the operating mechanism. This reduces the chance of damage to the operating mechanism should the handle be operated when the mechanism is jammed. The wheels are set in rotation by spring loaded fingers which drive said wheels, said fingers being moved to their loaded position by said clutch and engaging a stop to causing said clutch to release the fingers which spring back and spin the change wheels.
