page_text: I, GEORGE EDWIN DRAYCOTT, of 102 Richmond Road, Ilford, in the County of
Essex, Engineer and Science Master, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows :-
This invention relates to a series of similar receptacles combined with a base and
cover, all capable of being so fastened together as to form an ornamental casket, to
be made in metal, or other suitable material.
In carrying out this invention, I provide a number of recessed dishes of circular
or other forin, sliding a short distance into one another, and leaving between them,
a corresponding number of small chambers, capable of containing coin or other
articles.
Attached to each dish I provide a surface of bone, celluloid, or the like, upon
which may be recorded the amount and other particulars of the contents and a
similar surface upon the cover for general particulars.
The dishes may be locked together by projections on the lower portion of each dish
engaging with grooves recessed or cut in the dish into which it fits, and in a
modification by means of a spring catch or catches of suitable design.
This invention provides a ready means of separating sums of money intended for
different purposes, or of storing savings towards different objects and of recording
particulars of the same.

I, GEORGE EDWIN DRAYCOTT, 102 Richmond Road, Ilford, London, E., Science
Master, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement:-
This invention relates to a series of similar receptacles combined with a case and
cover, all capable of being so fastened together as to form an ornamental casket to be
made in metal or other suitable material.
In carrying out this invention I provide a number of recessed dishes of circular
or other form sliding a short distance into one another, and leaving between them a
corresponding number of small chambers capable of containing coins or other
articles.
Attached to each dish I provide a surface of bone, celluloid, or the like, upon
which may be recorded the amount and other particulars of the contents and a
similar surface upon the cover for general particulars.

page_text: The dishes may be locked together by projections on the lower portion of each dish
engaging with grooves recessed or cut in the dish into which it fits, and in a modification
by means of a spring catch or catches of suitable design.
This invention provides a ready means of separating sums of money intended for
different purposes, or of storing savings towards different objects, and of recording
particulars of the same.
In order that my invention may be fully understood, I will now refer to the
annexed drawings in which :-
Figure 1. is a sectional side elevation of my invention.
Figure 2. plan view of same.
Figure 3. plan view of a detached receptacle or compartment.
Figure 4. sectional elevation of same.
Figurs 5. section through line A-B in Figure 4.
a are a series of receptacles or compartments which fit into one another as shewn,
being secured by means of projections 6 which engage in corresponding slots or
openings c. By this means the various compartments may be kept together as
shewn in Figure 1. Each compartment is provided with a tablet or the like e upon
which desired information or memorandum inay be written and at the top of
the casket is also provided a tablet f upon which desired information as regards the
contents of each of the caskets may be written by means of a pencil or the
like.
I sometimes find it convenient to provide the caskets with a tablet as shewn by the
dotted lines g in Fig. 1, which may be of any convenient shape, preferably circular
encircling the division upon which it is placed and upon which the desired
information may be carried or written and may be of any suitable material, this
tablet being secured or attached to the caskets in any convenient manner. This
arrangement is very convenient in cases when it is desired to set sums of money
apart for different purposes, say for instance rent, taxes, and other purposes as the
tablet on the compartment may be marked so as to indicate the purpose for which
the money is being placed therein, such information being written or marked upon
the surface of the tablet by means of a pencil or the like. The receptacles when
connected together forin a complete casket and by looking at the marks or records
on the upper tablet the amount of money in each compartment and also the object
for which it is to be used can be seen.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. The combined construction and arrangement of the various parts substantially
as described and illustrated herein.
2. An improved money casket or box consisting of a series of receptacles which may
be connected together when desired; each receptacle having projections and slots so
arranged that the projections upon one receptacle engage in the slots or the like
upon another receptacle, or other suitable form of catch such as a spring clip of any
convenient and well-known construction may be employed to connect the receptacles
together; each receptacle being provided with a tablet or tablets carrying desired
information as to the contents of the box; an upper tablet upon which a record of the
contents of the different receptacles may be made; a base piece carrying the
receptacles.
