Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Technical field] The present invention stores thin items such as mail and relatively thick items such as mail in one mailbox, and This is about a mailbox that has been designed to prevent it from being stolen.

[Background technology] Conventionally, in apartment complexes and buildings, there has been an increase in the number of dual-income families and an increase in the number of single-person apartments, which means that many people are not home during the day, so they are disposing of unfinished laundry, parcels, and other items. Delivery items were received by a caretaker, and there were storage boxes and storage shelves separate from the mailbox. It is also possible to integrate mail and these storage boxes,
Laundry and home delivery items require a wide input slot, which means that your wrist can easily fit into the input slot from the outside, leading to theft of mail and other items inside. It was hot. In particular, mail theft was a major problem from the perspective of privacy protection.

[Purpose of the invention] The present invention was devised in view of the above points, and its purpose is to provide two types of input ports with different upper and lower opening widths, and to open the input port with the narrower width. To provide a mailbox which prevents mail items inserted into the mailbox from being stolen from the outside, allows other mailboxes with a large width to be posted in the same mailbox, and allows easy removal of mailboxes. There is something to do.

[Disclosure of the invention] The mailbox of the invention is provided with a door 3 that can be opened and closed freely in the opening 1 of the box body 2 whose front face is the opening 1, and a lock 4 that locks the door 3. An upper input slot 5 with a narrow vertical width is provided at the top of the door 3 to input thin mail items such as mail, and a lower input slot 6 with a wide vertical width is provided at the bottom of the door 3 to input thick mail items.
The door 3 is provided with an intermediate partition plate 7 whose protruding tip is positioned downward from between the upper input port 5 and the lower input port 6 at the back of the door 3,
By employing such a configuration, the above-mentioned object of the present invention is achieved. That is, in the case of the present invention, by inserting the mail through the upper input slot 5 which has a narrow vertical width, the mail is guided by the partition plate 7 whose protruding tip faces downward and enters the inner part of the box body 2. The upper input port 5 has a narrow upper and lower width.
This prevents mail from being stolen by inserting one's wrist into the slot, and the lower input slot 6 has a wide vertical width at the bottom.
You can post items that are thicker than mail,
Furthermore, even if you put your wrist in through the lower slot 6, it will be blocked by the partition plate 7 and the mail inserted at the back will not be stolen, and if you open the door 3, it will be blocked by the middle partition plate 7. This makes it possible to retrieve mailed items without having to worry about them.

The present invention will be explained in detail below with reference to Examples. The box body 2 has an opening 1 on the front side, and a door 3 is pivotally supported in the opening 1 of the box body 2 by a pivot portion 8, so that the door 3 can be opened and closed. There is. The door 3 is provided with a lock 4 for locking the door 3.
Further, an upper input slot 5 with a narrow vertical width is provided at the top of the door 3 to input thin mail items such as mail. The upper slot 5 has such a vertical width that it is difficult to insert the wrist all the way in, similar to the slot of a regular mailbox. Further, a lower input port 6 having a vertical width wider than the upper input port 5 is provided at the bottom of the door 3 for inputting thick mail items. Further, a partition plate 7 is formed from between the upper input port 5 and the lower input port 6 on the back of the door 3 and slopes downward toward the tip toward the back, and the protruding tip protrudes downward to become the tip protrusion 9. is provided. Therefore, in the mail box having the above-mentioned structure, the lock 4 is normally kept locked. The mail is then put into the box body 2 through the upper input slot 5, and if the mail is long inside, one end of the mail is above the inner partition plate 7, as shown in Figure 1. ride on. As a result, when inserting a thick mailing item from the lower slot 6, the mail that was placed earlier will not interfere with the thick mailing, and the lower slot has a wide vertical width. Even if an attempt is made to steal mail by inserting a hand through the opening 6, the partition plate 7 becomes an obstacle and it becomes impossible to steal the mail. In addition, in the case of short mail items, they are stored at the back of the box body 2 by sliding through the partition plate 7, so even if you insert your hand through the lower slot 6, the tip of the partition plate 7 faces downward. This gets in the way and makes it difficult to take out. On the other hand, when taking out mail or other mail items inside the box 1, unlock the lock 4, open the door 3 as shown in Figure 5, and remove the mail or other mail items inside the box. It is extracted from 2. In this case, when the door 3 is opened, the partition plate 7
rotates together with the door 3 and comes out, and the opening 1 of the box body 2 is opened over the entire surface, making it possible to take out the contents without being obstructed by the partition plate 7.

[Effects of the invention] As described above, in the present invention, a door is provided at the opening of the box body so that it can be opened and closed freely, a lock is provided to lock this door, and a thin wall like mail is provided at the top of the door. There is an upper input slot with a narrow vertical width for inputting mail items, a lower input slot with a wide vertical width at the bottom of the door for inputting thick mail items, and an upper input slot and a lower input slot on the back of the door. Since there is a partition plate with the protruding tip facing downward from between the boxes, the mail can be guided into the back of the box body by being guided by the partition plate with the protruding tip facing downward. In addition, since the top slot is narrow, it is impossible to insert your wrist into the slot to steal mail, and the bottom slot, which has a wide vertical width, is used to steal items that are thicker than mail. It allows mail to be mailed, and even if the wrist is inserted through the lower slot, the partition plate with the protruding tip facing downward will prevent the mail from being stolen.Moreover, the partition plate is installed in the door. Because of this, when the door is opened, the inner partition plate opens and closes integrally with the door, so mailed items can be easily taken out all at once without the inner partition plate getting in the way.
