Abstract:

The device comprises two circular discs each having indicia and an arrow on each outer surface and on each inner surface having a c-shaped wall with an opening and a central body having front and back faces, each face provided with an arrow located centrally of and adjacent to an opening of a c-shaped wall extending from each face of the body. The c-shaped wall of each disc is designed to be inserted into each c-shaped wall on the central body, also each c-shaped wall of each disc is provided with a frictional element to hold the assembled device together when the discs are rotatably mounted to the body, this frictional element also serves as a locking element after manual rotation of the discs for the alignment of any selected indicia or arrow on the outer surface of each disc with the arrow on the central body. Once the device is assembled two coinholders exist, one on the front face of the body and the other on the back face of the body. The insertion of a coin into or removal from each coinholder is provided by the alignment of the arrow of each disc with the arrow on the body, this alignment of arrows aligns the openings of the c-shaped walls of each disc with the openings in the c-shaped walls on the body.
