Abstract: A savings coin box with controllable music box which includes a body, a music box, a control device and other elements. The music box is transversely positioned on the supporting disk on the cylindrical body, and a control device is installed above the music box. According to this structure, when a coin is thrown from a guiding rail, the extending rod of the control device is driven so that the music box will not be confined and the potential power is released. When the control disk of the control device is rotated through a predetermined angle, the music box is again limited by the extending rod, and then it is stopped.

Abstract: A savings box comprises a main body and a control box. The main body is provided with a coin slot and shutter plate. A magnet is fixed on the shutter plate and another magnet is fixed on a control member (slider) provided inside the control box. The coin slot is closed by the shutter plate while the control member (T-bar) is placed at the first position due to the reaction between the two magnets. When the T-bar is moved to the second position with a coin placed on the shutter plate, that is, in the coin slot, the reaction between the two magnets will cause the shutter plate to turn and leave under the coin slot, thus the coin falls into the main body of the savings box. The coin is automatically accepted into the main body synchronously with the operation of the T-bar.
