1. A personal saving system (100) for accumulating funds and allowing access to the saved funds after an elapsed timeframe, wherein the system (100) comprises:
(a) a sturdy hollow container (110) having at least a partially open container top (111) and one or more vertical dividers (115) disposed therein creating a plurality of chambers (116) having at least a partially open chamber top (117); (b) one or more lids (120) pivotally disposed on the container (110), wherein each lid (120) is spring-biased in an open position; and (c) an elapsed time latch release system disposed on each lid (120), wherein the release system comprises:
(i) a lithium or alkaline battery power supply (130),(ii) a microprocessor (131) operatively connected to the power supply (130),(iii) a display (132) disposed on a lid top surface (121) operatively connected to the microprocessor (131),(iv) a latch first component (133) disposed on a lid front surface (123) of each lid (120) operatively connected to the microprocessor (131),(v) a latch second component (134) disposed on a container front surface (112) adjacent to the latch first component (133) when the lid (120) is in a closed position, wherein the latch second component (134) is latchably mated to and interfaces with the latch first component (133),(vi) a money slot (135) disposed on the lid top surface (121),(vii) one or more user interface components (136) disposed on the lid top surface (121) operatively connected to the microprocessor (131), wherein each user interface component (136) communicates with the microprocessor (131) to program a predetermined elapsed timeframe parameter for release of the lid (120) via the latch first component (133), and(viii) a demo button (137) for initiating a demonstration cycle of the time release system;wherein the lid (120) is closed and latched via the latch first component (133) and the latch second component (134), wherein money is placed into the chamber (116) via the money slot (135) and the open chamber top (117), wherein a time release date is programmed into the microprocessor (131) via the user interface component (136), wherein the display (132) shows an alphanumeric readout of pertinent data including the days remaining until the lid (120) is opened or the time release date the lid (120) is to be opened, wherein upon reaching the programmed time release date, the latch first component (133) is activated via the microprocessor (131) to unattach from the latch second component (134) thereby opening the spring-biased lid (120) for access to the funds;wherein a rotating cylinder (150) having a fully open cylinder top (151) is disposed in the container (110), wherein the cylinder top (151) is disposed interfacingly against a lid bottom surface (122) and a container top panel bottom surface (152), wherein the one or more vertical dividers (115) is disposed in the cylinder (150) creating the plurality of chambers (116), wherein a motor (155) is operatively coupled to the cylinder (150) for rotation, wherein the motor (155) is operatively connected to and controlled by the microprocessor (131), wherein upon reaching the programmed date, the cylinder (150) is rotated to position the open chamber top (117) underneath the open container top (111), wherein the latch first component (133) is activated via the microprocessor (131) to release from the latch second component (134) thereby opening the spring-biased lid (120) for access to the funds via the open lid (120), the open container top (111), and the open chamber top (117). |
