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 with a cam, displacement of the cam 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 chance wheels. The wheels are stopped at random orientations by the engagement of the ends of arms formed as part of a single integrally moulded member, the arms being resiliently biased away from the wheels by cam means which release the arms after the wheels have been set in rotation.
