Abstract

Dans un système à boîte aux lettres conventionnel le signal doit être activé manuellement par le facteur. Dans la présente invention, la boîte est munie d'un système mécanique placé à l'avant de la boîte qui a pour objet, lorsque le facteur referme le couvercle de la boîte après y avoir déposé du courrier sur la tablette mobile, d'actionner le signal placé à l'extérieur qui remonte automatiquement à la position verticale lorsque la pesée s'appuie sur le courrier. Le système comprend 6 pièces installées à l'intérieur qui permettent d'actionner la pièce installée à l'extérieur en la faisant remonter mécaniquement à la position verticale.In a conventional mailbox system the signal must be activated manually by the postman. In the present invention, the box is provided with a mechanical system placed at the front of the box which, when the postman closes the cover of the box after having deposited mail on the mobile tablet, the signal placed outside which automatically rises to the vertical position when the weighing is based on the mail. The system includes 6 parts installed inside which allow the part installed outside to be actuated by mechanically raising it to the vertical position.

Description

DIUDlGATIQN

La présente invention se rapporte à une boîte à lettres pour recevoir le courrier.

L'usage courant d'une boîte ~ lettres est que le signal doit être activé manuellement par le facteur lorsqu'il d~pose le courrier.

J'ai découvert que cet inconvénient peut être supprimé par l'installation d'un syst~me mécanique qui s'actionne autuomatiquement lorsque le facteur d~pose le courrier sur une tablette mobile placée à
l'int~rieur de la boîte.

Relativement aux dessins qui illustrent la réalisation de 1 'invention, '!la figure 1 représente une vue de côté de la boîte sans courrier", "la figure 2 représente une vue de côté de la bofte avec courrier", ~'la figure 3 représente une vue coupée sans courrier".

La boîte illustrée comprend un signal (1) qui devient à la position verticale lorsque le facteur referme la porte ¢8j après y a voir dépose le courrier sur la tablette mobile (3) munie d'un guide pour tablette mobile ~5~.
~L
7~

En ouvrant la porte (8) de la boîte, la pesée attachée a une corde (4) fixée à des poulies ~6) et munie d'un ancrage fixé a la porte (7) remonte vers le haut de la boîte. Le facteur dépose le courrier sur la tablette mobile (3) retenue par un guide pour tablette mobile (5). En refermant la porte, la pesée (4~ redescend et vient s'appuyer sur le courrier déposé sur la tablette mobile (3) ce qui a pour effet de faire descendre la bascule (2) et de faire remonter le signal (1) relié à la bascule (2) lequel signal est installé à l'extérieur de la boîte et qui indique qu'il y a du courrier.

En ouvrant la porte de la boîte, la pesee (4~ remonte ce qui a pour effet de faire redescendre le signal (1) à la position horizonale.
Apres avoir été chercher le courrier dans la boîte et refermé la porte, la pesée (4) redescend et n'ayant plus rien sur quoi s'appuyer descend dans la partie vide de la tablette mobile (3) permettant ainsi au signal de demeurer à la position horizontale.
DIUDlGATIQN

The present invention relates to a mailbox for receive mail.

The common usage of a mailbox is that the signal should be manually activated by the postman when he deposits the mail.

I discovered that this drawback can be eliminated by the installation of a mechanical system which operates automatically when the mailman places the mail on a mobile tablet placed at inside the box.

Relative to the drawings which illustrate the realization of The invention, Figure 1 shows a side view of the box without mail", "Figure 2 shows a side view of the box with mail", ~ 'Figure 3 shows a cut view without mail ".

The illustrated box includes a signal (1) which becomes vertical position when the factor closes the door ¢ 8d after seeing deposits the mail on the mobile tablet (3) fitted with a guide for mobile tablet ~ 5 ~.
~ L
7 ~

By opening the door (8) of the box, the weighing attached has a rope (4) fixed to pulleys ~ 6) and provided with an anchor fixed to the door (7) goes back to the top of the box. The postman drops the mail on the mobile tablet (3) retained by a guide for mobile tablet (5). In closing the door, the weighing (4 ~ goes down and comes to rest on the mail deposited on the mobile tablet (3) which has the effect of lower the scale (2) and raise the signal (1) connected to the toggle (2) which signal is installed outside the box and which indicates that there is mail.

By opening the door of the box, the weighing (4 ~ goes up what has to bring the signal (1) down to the horizontal position.
After getting the mail from the box and closing the door, the weighing (4) goes down and having nothing more to rely on goes down in the empty part of the mobile tablet (3) thus allowing the signal to remain in the horizontal position.

un poids relié par une corde à la porte par moyens d'une poulie fixe à la boîte;
une tablette d'une grosse overture à l'intérieure qui peut glisser dans ledit guide, cette tablette ayant aussi une tige reliée à ladite bascule;
de sorte que quand on ouvre la porte la corde fait monter le poids qui traverse l'ouverture dans la tablette, ensuite on place le courrier sur la tablette en faisant pont sur ladite ouverture, puis en fermant la porte le poidsdéscend entraînant le glissement de la tablette dans le guide ce qui tourne la bascule pour ériger le signal.
The realization of the invention, about which an exclusive right to property or lien is claimed, is defined as follows:
