Abstract

See full text

The inflatable coin bank is a decorative coin bank which grows in size with each coin inserted and stored therein. The inflatable coin bank includes a flexible housing with a coin receptacle received therein. The receptacle has a slot formed therethrough for receiving the coins. A sensor is mounted adjacent the slot formed through the receptacle for selectively generating an actuation signal when a coin passes through the slot. An inflatable bladder is further received within the flexible housing. An air pump is in communication with the inflatable bladder and the sensor, such that the air pump partially inflates the inflatable bladder with a pre-determined volume of air when the sensor generates the actuation signal. In this way, the inflatable bladder grows in volume with each insertion of a coin through the slot.
