ABSTRACT

This invention relates to a musical bank device. An object of the present invention is to provide an improved musical bank, represented as the figure of Santa Claus carrying a basket, in which, when a coin is put in Santa's hand and the mechanism is wound, Santa will deposit the coin in his basket, accompanied by a Christmas song. The basket may have a door provided with a lock, and a coin slot, so that the unauthorized taking out of coins is impossible.
