Abstract
Novel gumball banks are provided for which dispense gumballs upon insertion of a coin and store inserted coins. The gumball bank comprises a reservoir for gumballs, a base, and a dispensing mechanism. The base defines an upper floor. The upper floor supports the reservoir and has a gumball opening communicating with the reservoir and a coin slot. The base further defines a lower floor. The lower floor has a chute adapted to receive gumballs and a coin slot. The base also defines a coin storage area in communication with the coin slot in the lower floor. The dispensing mechanism is disposed between the upper and lower floors and is adapted to dispense gumballs from the reservoir to the chute and to deposit coins in the coin storage area. The dispensing mechanism includes an actuator arm having a socket for receiving a coin and a coin slot aligned with the socket. The transfer arm has a gumball opening and a coin slot. The actuator arm and transfer arm are mounted for movement in first and second directions between respective first and second positions.
